Reviews for Primos Mexican Food & Cantina in Escondido, CA
Traveling for work, and I wanted tacos for Tuesday. Checked this place out since it was close to the hotel. Honestly... underwhelmed. The street tacos were ok, but not as good as other places I've been too. The crunchy taco lacked flavor, and brokeapart after my 2nd bite. I had a plate full of lettuce, and not much else(pics). And $8 for a beer? I have heard from otherlocals that there are better places in the area. Read more
I had to throw the rest of my Carna Asada Plate away. I eat here regularly and have the Carna Asada Fries and they are ????.... However, today's experience was horrible. When I spend $20 on a meal at a restaurant, I expect high quality. Along with my CarnaAsada Plate to go today, I ordered chips and salsa while I wait. First, when I ordered, the lady wouldn't let me sub avocado forguac which was disappointing. Then the chips were gross and overcooked. Then, when I opened my meal, it was slopped togetherwith very little meat. When I got home, and attempted to eat it, the edges of my flour tortillas was hard, and the rice wasovercooked and hard and the beans were cold. What you see in my pic is what I had to throw away. I cannot afford to throw away$20! That's a lot of money to throw away and this was supposed to be a treat. I am very disappointed in one of my favoriterestaurants in Escondido. Read more
No greeting when I stepped in the door. The place was split between the restaurant which was well lit and the cantina which was... dimmed and had its own mood. Took a while for the lady to come in the front and take our order. Ordered the Jr monster Philly.The flavor and party in my mouth was AMAZING. The cheese pull and the meat so tender. The peppers and onion OMG. Also had thehorchata was delicious perfect sweetness and not so chalky. The salsa bar didn?t have lemon and looked very bare. Only carrotsand jalapeños. 4 out of 5 because the counter lady needs some customer service skills and the bare condiments, but the food andpresentation was FAB. I?m out!!! Read more
Had their surf and turf nachos and I totally recommend. Also their margaritas are pretty refreshing. Friendly staff. Our food... came out very fast. Will come back. Read more
Picked up 2 Cali burrito?s for $26.94. Largely unimpressed?fires were mushy, pico didn?t taste that fresh. Steak had decent... flavor. Would get my money back if I could. Read more
One of my favorite Mexican food places to get burritos and tostadas. They have massive burritos that are the size of your... forearms! The prices are average but the customer service, quality, and portions are fantastic and worth the price. Absolutelyrecommend ???? ???? Read more
Accessibility: there is accessible parking right across from the entrance of this building, the nearest parking spots, but if... you can't get those spots then you might have to park farther away because this lot is always busy. They have a ramp to get upto the store and the doors are pull doors. Inside it is very spacious. They speak Spanish and English and have seating insideand outside. Experience: the food was really good but not the best Mexican I have had in North County. It was also a littleexpensive. Two Carne asada fries amd a large drink cost 32 dollars. It was good food though. Overall a good experience! Read more
