I discovered a new place called El Primo - good Mexican food spot for lunch - located easily accessible off the freeway. Got a salad with chicken fajita (trying to be healthy)- it was really good. They were pretty quick, and once I ordered, I sat outside on the patio under the umbrellas, which was really nice, and they brought the food to me. Service was really pleasant - I'm going to work it into my lunch rotation. read more

We had an amazing dining experience from start to finish. Everything was excellent--the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the customer service was truly top-notch. The servers were incredibly polite, friendly, and attentive, consistently checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. They recommended the torta, which I decided to try, and it was absolutely amazing. Now it's going to be tough deciding between the burrito and the torta every time I come back. The restaurant itself is very welcoming, and the staff makes you feel right at home. My coworkers and I usually order food to go, but one of the staff members suggested that we try dining in one day. We finally did today, and we're so glad we listened. The service was outstanding, and getting the food fresh and right there made the experience even better. We truly appreciate that suggestion. We will definitely be dining in again. Overall, the food is incredible, and this spot is simply outstanding. A big thank you to the staff and the cooks for creating such a welcoming experience and serving such well-deserved, delicious food. read more

This is a nice spot for traditional Mexican food. It's in a small shopping mall strip with limited parking during peak hours. They have great outdoor and indoor seating. There was televisions and heat lamps for extra comfort. The food was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu. read more

Worst customer service ever! If you guys don't want no customers calling in for orders just don't answer the phone. Called twice to put an order in and was put on hold for 5 min and hung up on both times. Tried to think maybe it was an accident so I called twice again and they just answered the phone to hang it up again twice! Saved my money, went to Green Olive and poki yaki next to them their food was even better and less expensive with welcoming customer service. read more

I've been to this place a few times, very close to where I live. We've tried their chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and machaca burrito and food never disappoints. The service is friendly and fast. read more

Had the carnitas quesadilla, it was okay but so greasy, the grease was literally dripping with each bite. Also, the size of the quesadilla was small, so for the price, I'd find a different place. But the people working there are really nice and the place was clean. read more

Great food! Clean, nice and fast service Definitely recommend, will be coming back to try different menu items read more

Greeted upon arrival shrimp tacos are the best. Ask for extra chips if you have multiple orders to go otherwise they will only give you one bag with very little in it same if you use Uber Eats call them to ask for chips period because they will not add any in your order. read more

I go here all the time, especially after I've had to start eating more healthily for my wellbeing. They have a lot of delicious healthy food options, ranging from salad to fajitas to their grilled veggie bowl and the cashiers (Esmeralda, Virsabid, and Jose) were willing to work with all of my self-imposed dietary restrictions. They listened attentively and seemed to really care about getting my order right down to the T, in addition to answering ALL of my questions about how X is cooked without ever getting annoyed or impatient. What made me want to write this review, though, was that... earlier today, I ordered a shrimp grilled veggie bowl. I said that I didn't want or couldn't have rice, and Virsabid proactively asked if I wanted extra veggies in place of the rice. I felt it was a really sweet, genuine, and caring gesture because she definitely didn't have to offer that to me, especially as I myself self-opted out of some food typically in the dish. And with what food and supplies cost to restaurants these days, I was even more touched. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the cook had already gotten rid of the tails when grilling the shrimp. Another lowkey, probably unintentionally sweet and caring gesture on a rough Thursday that I really appreciated :) Definitely will be back here the next week, and the next, and the next. Highly 100000% recommend; me encanta la comida cocinada por este restaurante :) read more

Placed an online order and confirmation gave order to be ready within a 15min time slot. I checked in maybe 2min after the beginning time and order was ready. Temperature of food was good, serving portion good; the spice level was non-existent even with requesting it extra spicy. Although the flavor all around was good and the beans definitely were homemade quality unfortunately I am not sure why I was served double beans and no rice, no crema on the chilaquiles. Made the best of what I was given since it was an online to go order. read more

I just ordered from here on DoorDash because the reviews looked solid... when coming to write this review, I realized I was looking at the reviews for another location, which eradicated much of my confusion related to the meal I ate. Everything tasted strange. I ordered Nachos and Flautas. Flautas came as all chicken, though I ordered 1 with shredded beef. I really tried to parse out where the weird tastes were coming from, but all that appeared to be in the Flautas were chicken and bell peppers. I can't even compare the flavor to anything, because I've never tasted anything similar. That said, they were inedible for me. The nachos were very muddled. Nothing had distinct flavor, and it all melded together into a bland nothingness, save the jalapeños and salsa. Grease pool at the bottom, which I would understand a bit more if the cheese were fully melted, but very conservative on the cheese and it wasn't melted much. All in all, giving this meal a 1/10, and won't be a returning customer. read more

I went here despite the 3 star rating on yelp, and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the staff was, and how good the food is. They have this fire roasted habanero salsa that satisfied my addiction to spicy food 10/10. This place is definitely closer to a 4+ star rating. Definitely going back! read more

This is my second time ordering a huarache. The first time we had an issue with the tortilla being hard. This is the second time they give me a hard tortilla. It's disappointing. my issue this time, I called and placed an order for two huaraches and once i arrived (which took me more than 45 minutes to pick up) they let me know they didn't have any more huaraches. This is ridiculous I don't understand why they don't have better customer service and let us know way ahead of time that they don't have a specific items. do better. read more

Place did look very inviting from their Instagram page .. I went yesterday with my coworkers and it was a bummer .. 1st the avocado in the guacamole dipwasn't ripe . 2nd they had no rice .... Which I would been fine with if they communicated that when I was ordering. 3rd we ordered French fries and we received them late after reminding them. 4th my coworker ordered the carnitas plate and the plate had a lot of fat ... like a lot of thick chunks read more

The food was not very good. Also customer service not great. A cashier charged us for a can of Coke instead of the glass bottle that we ordered. Later she noticed we grabbed the glass bottle and not the can and charged us the difference after we finished eating. Bad customer service, that was unnecessary and her mistake. read more
