PSA: Eat HERE vs. there! Besides delicious, well-proportioned food (FREE chips and variety of salsa! Scrumptious streak & eggs burro!) what makes the Primos on Governor drive stand out is its service and atmosphere. The staff--especially the past six months--is always friendly, smiling, pleasant. Especially one man who I think is their manager/owner, who is usually there, working the front cash register - I truly think he could be having the worst day ever and he'd still greet you with a smile and positive energy. Lastly, their (Span-lg) music always slaps. I enter to pick up my breakfast or lunch feeling stressed from my workday and leave feeling so much better.

Primos Mexican Food is hands down one of the best spots for delicious, authentic Mexican food! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a great variety of flavorful dishes, from mouthwatering street tacos to their amazing burritos that are packed with fresh ingredients.

Their carne asada is perfectly seasoned, the guacamole is fresh and creamy, and their salsas have just the right kick! You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put care into every dish. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the food always hits the spot.

Whether you're craving a quick bite or a full meal, Primos never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying Mexican food experience! 🌮🔥👌

Surprised that they serve actual cocktails! Woohoo! Food was good. Guac is too runny. Needs to have fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions etc.

Burrito was poor. Guacamole was borderline liquid and tasteless. Minimal meat. Just bad. Two stars cause the dude at the counter seemed like a good guy.

Our lunch was phenomenal. I ordered street tacos and loved the flavor, quality and generous portions. The staff at this location was super friendly and hospitable.

A big test to a good California burrito are the fries inside, and this one knocks it out of the park.

It's hit or miss & for that I can't continue to give them my business. Consistency is key to running a successful business.

First time, I received a Surf & Turf bowl & it tasted like they took the little bits of left over crunchy meat from the grill and put it in my bowl OR someone burnt the meat because they weren't paying attention and served it to me anyway.

I gave them one last opportunity. This time, I ordered a bowl with chicken even though I wanted a Surf & Turf bowl which I'm sure is more $$$ their loss...again.

I ordered through the DoorDash app. I showed up to get my order. Nobody was in the restaurant at that time. One cashier, one cook from what I could see. The cashier didn't even realize I was there in the restaurant. She didn't need to. I'm waiting next to the DoorDash order pick up area. When the order is ready the employee puts it in the DoorDash pick up area because that's what dping your job entails.

Another customer enters, orders & starts socializing with the cashier about how "it's cool they have a liquor license," she's explaining the sizes of the burritos and how you can get them in a bowl or torta. Next thing you know, he's walking out with his order. I received a text that said my order was ready and this employee couldn't put it in the designated DoorDash area?! I had to walk up and ask her where my order was because she wasn't doing her job! The order was already ready & sitting behind her. The epitome of laziness! Never again.
