My first time at this new Primo location. I went to eat on a Sunday and noticed a sign on the door saying tacos were $1. I found the same flavor as the other restaurants. The tacos were good, the waitresses were super attentive, and the place is small for inside dining, but cozy.

They are very friendly and the food is great! I had their lunch special, great price for the amount of food $8.99. Their tostadas were yummy! They fry their own tostadas! 😋

Okay, I ordered a torta de jamón and it came with fries. My fries were so hard/stale. Like they had those fries were sitting there all day. They said torta comes with beans... there were no beans in that torta....

Order the breakfast burrito advertised at 9.99 right in the front of to register. Pointed it out to the employee that told me that's the wrong price. Even though I got one a couple of weeks ago for 7.99. I didn't mind paying the 2$ price difference because it was good. But almost double? And the girl up front didn't even care to try to keep me as a customer. Terrible service. Would not recommend.

Be careful of the scam they are pulling on customers. They offer buy one get one on delivery apps but will charge you 20.00 if you don't order two. The right thing to do if a customer orders one not charge them for two. Scam artists don't order from here burrito was terrible wonder why it's buy one get one.

Food was so bland and flavorless I wanted to ask for my $ back. I gave it away. Wasn’t what I was expecting. I see why the food is so cheap because it’s no real flavors to it.
