I go with my family regularly, and they usually have chips as a side; today there weren’t any left. I asked the cashier and she told me they wouldn’t be putting any more out. I approached Rene, the bartender, who usually provides excellent service and is in a good mood. When I asked him if they could offer me some chips, he replied, “I work here too, I’m going to give you the same answer they gave you.” I was surprised by his response; there are other ways to answer with better judgment without being ironic or rude. I could have responded the same way, but I was with my family. They might not care, but they lost a frequent customer.

The food was good. The monster burritos were yummy. The only problem we had was that they ripe you off by unchanging you by asking you if you want them to cut your burritos then charge you $5 per burrito to cut it without telling you it’s a charge for it.

All I can say is Wow! From the first bite, I knew I was hooked. I was really hungry too! Had the crispy beef, soft chicken and fish tacos. All were amazing. The flavor can not be best! Try the cilantro sauce on the fish taco, unbelievable!! ☺️

I like breakfast.
Food
We had the breakfast tortas. They were so good. The bread was fluffy and the eggs and meats were flavorful.
Atmosphere
Pretty barebones, but it doesn’t need frills. It was nice to sit outside and eat.
Recommend?
Yes, I’d go back to try other menu items.

Great deals. Used to have the best breakfast burrito in SD but switched to powdered egg or something. Now they are gross… My eggs were straight neon yellow. Everything else is great tho.

Very rude staff. It was 830 PM, and there was still approximately 13 to 15 customers still eating in house. They refused to let me use the restroom after i ate stating “it is closed for the night”. They stated because they had already been cleaned. Is this not illegal?

Ever since moving here me and my roommates routinely kick by primos. We’ve been to a couple other locations but this one is the best (especially their fish tacos, I cannot get enough of). The people who work here are always so kind too, especially Renae who always gives us a good laugh- served me and my friends some bomb Margs while we were celebrating a birthday.

Each and every time I go to this place, I am greeted with a smile from the bartender Rene. This is what sets this place apart from others, the feeling of being welcomed. Something hard to find these days. His pina coladas are top notch. Highly recommend!

If you don’t expect too much, you may come away pleasantly surprised. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat at a Primos location, but I’d do Primos over fast food like Chipotle, Taco Bell, or Del Taco.
I like that their carnitas are well-seasoned and crispy whether packaged in their ultra-greasy burritos or their tacos. Speaking of the “Carnitas Taco,” I can’t say I dislike it, even if I am slightly put-off by it being drizzled with a glowing-green avocado sauce that resembles radioactive waste. Seriously, the first time I saw that the avocado sauce looked like it had the consistency, shape, and color of neon green toothpaste, I was justifiably concerned that it was going to overwhelm in an awful way, but it actually is a bit light, airy, and not unpleasant.
Breakfast burritos are alright, with scrambled eggs, cheese, decent skillet potatoes, and a meat of your choosing. I’d go with the carne asada one, ask for some pico de gallo and salsa roja (in the burrito itself), and pray the guy putting it together didn’t pile each ingredient into separate areas of the burrito, which is known to happen. Again, keep expectations low.

Ridiculous!
Came here on a Wednesday, it is widely advertised that they have “happy hour all day Wed”, they even have menu and signs on the table (attached photo); drove all the way here, and was first told that they do not have the ingredients for the “margarita”, nor their “paloma” (which are their HH items). Then when asked for their “beers”, they said they “have to” charge me the regular price because “technically” they do not or will not honor their “happy hour” deals.
What the heck is this!? “Technically” since you have it on menu (inside the restaurant, on the tables), and you advertised it as such, you “have to” honor it. If you are not, at least, go gather up all the happy hour menus, and hide them!
Anyways, the food is not too bad, but it is a big turn off for this operation that “bait & switch”.
I guess there is a reason why this establishment has only 3-ish stars….. I should have known better not to come, in the first place!
