Seated quickly and greeted immediately with chips and salsa. Always a family favorite for our favorite Mexican dishes. read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Cali Tacos steak - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

Can't go wrong here! I always get something chipotle because it's not a common thing to get at a Mexican restaurant in this area. This time I got the Diablo burrito. It's only a little spicy, nothing crazy. It's potatoes and steak! I've also gotten the chipotle chicken tacos before too. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

I'll start off with saying I absolutely love the food I've gotten here, both today and in the past. It's fresh and full of flavor. As usual I got the El Camaron bowl, it comes with a side of chips and salsa. It's a little on the pricy side, right under $20, but I usually justify that with how good it tastes. The wait staff are always quick to greet people as they walk in. They're not overly friendly, but they're very professional and courteous. The establishment appears clean and overall seems to be well run. My only problem is the wait time. I placed my order at 1:05, and the website said it could be up to a 30 minute wait, but they'd have it as soon as possible. I ended up getting my food at 1:38. I arrived to the restaurant about a quarter after, so I knew I'd be waiting awhile, but not that long. I ordered one bowl, nothing crazy. The restaurant had probably no more than 6 tables the entire time I waited. The majority of those tables had their food prior to my arrival. I truly don't really understand how it takes 30 minutes to prep this bowl. It's been similar experiences with wait time each time I've purchased food here. Again, the food is always extremely good and staff are pleasant, but the wait time (and somewhat the price) is starting to become a deterrent. read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

See all

So, I had high hopes. I had heard a lot about Primas, good and bad, so I wanted to try it for myself. My waitstaff was great but it kind of went downhill from there. The food was cold and honestly kind of meh. The food was better than Taco Bell of course but that's not saying much. I expected a little more from what is advertised as a Mexican kitchen. Finally, I go out to eat for several reasons, not the least of which is the chance to get away from the drama at home. There seemed to be several employees either bickering or talking about other employees and guests. It's not professional nor is it necessary. We might be back if they change a lot about the restaurant but until then, there are plenty of other places in the area for good Mexican cuisine. read more

Always consistent and fresh. Great experience Been a customer for over 20 years, never been disappointed read more

Rellenos de Carnitas were absolutely awesome. Service was fantastic and the restaurant was clean and relaxed even at lunch on a Saturday. Surprisingly good Mexican food for this area. Being from West Texas I'm pretty picky but, this place hit all of the right spots. Super thin crispy chips about pretty good salsa. Highly recommend. read more

Primas is the only place I know of that serves enchilada salad. Enchiladas with sauce and lettuce and tomato on top. And their salsa is consistently good. read more

Prima is always clean upon entering. The service is wonderful and the food is consistently great.

Placed a catering order with Primas. Previously, I've had great experience in doing so. Today, that was not the case. When my catering order arrived, I was missing quite a few items from my order, including 2 full tins of meat, as well as all the salsas with my order. I tried calling the delivery driver first to see if he left a box in his car, with no luck in reaching him. I then called Primas, and informed the gentleman I spoke to on the phone of my issues, who immediately told me I was wrong, that he was the manager, and packed my order himself, and essentially accused me of lying. I told him politely 3 times I tried calling the driver, but that I had 40 people at my house, and it was a significant challenge for me to be missing 2 full orders of meat, and have zero salsa for my food. He argued saying none of my food came with salsa, which by the description of the catering meals, clearly states their taco kits come with salsa. He was rather rude; but agreed to call DoorDash. After about an hour, he called me back to say they couldn't get a hold of the driver either, and he was going to see if he could the additional items sent, which he did. However by that time, roughly an hour and 45 minutes later, I had to make alternate arrangements for incremental food for my guests, and it was a waste. And no one wanted to eat Mexican food without salsa of any kind. While I appreciate the gesture of getting the food that was missing to me, the attitude, and assumption I was lying about missing items was not appreciated on a $400+ order of food. We won't be using Primas in the future for our parties unfortunately. read more

GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE AND DECENT PRICES!!!! Easy to access location, handicap parking, clean bathrooms and good lighting. Everybody starts out with their crispy chips and delicious salsa, but you got to try their queso blanco. They do have toppings you can add in but honestly we haven't tried them because it's delicious plain. The enchiladas are great but my two favorite are the chicken or the cheese. The enchilada sauce is not like any enchilada sauce I've ever tried. Full of flavor and by far the best. The rice is also full of flavor and delicious but the beans not my favorite. Good variety for kids, even if they don't like Mexican food. The service is superb, especially in the times we are living in. I have never had a problem with my food, wrong order or bad service. The servers take care of their tables without being too intruding, which I absolutely love. They keep your chips and drinks filled and are always courteous even when it's clear they are busy. Actually, the hosts are great as well. Each of the staff make you feel welcome! If you like a bar, they do have a bar off to the side of the restaurant and it is semi enclosed. It's quiet and not offensive to families eating, as I know some who wouldn't eat their because of their experience with some"bar scenes".... I'm a self proclaimed "iced tea snob". I know what I like and not many people can make it that way, lol. Primas has excellent iced tea. I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Chips and Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

We normally enjoy this location. They did a great job during the worst of the pandemic with takeout. Tonight we chose to do takeout as we spent all day in the yard working. We ordered online and the text said it would be ready at 7:33. We got there at 7:23 and it was ready. Got it home and EVERYTHING was cool - or downright cold! Cold chips, cold tortillas, cold tamales, cold queso (yuk!) And cold quesadilla - which was also overcooked. Not only will we not be ordering online again, it will take time for us to get over this poor meal when friends suggest we go there to eat! read more

Bland, cold, tasteless, expensive food (watch the up charges, including a 3% svc fee to use a credit card, which I think is illegal). Not sure how it's possible to mess up a dang quesadilla, but this place can do it! Nothing made fresh. Bummer that there are so few restaurants in Ozark and this place is taking up space. read more

I called to place a to go order. "We're closed" was the response I got. I then said "sorry, I thought you were open until 9, that's what is posted online and your door." "Well we're closed." Dumbfounded by the customer service, I asked to speak to a manager. "I am the the manager, my name is Daniella, D-A-N-I-E-L-L-A. And you shouldn't be placing orders this close to close anyway. I'm sure you understand how hard it is when your short-staffed." I thanked her for being so aggressive and she hung up. "We are very sorry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to close early." Would have been suffice. Local people keep local businesses alive! We won't spend a dollar here in the future. All thanks to Daniella. read more

This place is awesome. The food is hot and very good with plenty to eat. We have dined there many times before and it's always been great. Tonight we had a server by the name of "Emma" and I can't say enough good things about her. She was pleasant, accommodating and just terrific. She made sure everything was good and came back several times to check on us, always with a big smile. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this place! I got the smothered carnitas and they were amazing . Definitely recommend if you like pork and queso. Next time I come back I will be asking for Cileena as my server because she provided me with amazing service! The was restaurant super clean and my family was very happy with their food and the service! read more

The food was good. Atmosphere was nice. Good selection of food. The waiter was ok. The hamburger was amazing. It was a handmade patty and very thick. Not greasy. read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Cheese enchilada and crunchy beef taco - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

Placed an online order at 9:30am for a 10:30am pickup. I received text and email confirming order would be ready at 10:30am. Arrived at 10:30am and was told they were still working on the order. 25 minutes later they bring it out. Get home and the food was barely warm and starting to get soggy. The supreme nachos was missing the queso. The signature burrito was more like soup. Won't be going to this location again. read more

Food was just ok. Not authentic. Very American. Steak & Carne Asada didn't have much flavor. Rice and beans were yummy. Salsa bland. Guac ok. I wouldn't come back. read more

Tonight my wife and I came in to eat and we were absolutely blown away with all aspects of our visit... the food, the atmosphere, the drinks.... But the real star of the show was our server, Bryson. This man was sprinting to get our drinks, sprinting to get our food, there is no doubt the soles of his shoes were on fire!! The food was exquisite! I have no doubt, that Bryson had a hand in how flavorful, tasty, and mouth watering our food was! We will be back tomorrow, the next, and the day following that (as long as Bryson is working). read more

Primas Mexican Kitchen - Pure Bliss - Mexican Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

Giving 5 stars due to our fabulous waitress Kayla. Very attentive and super sweet. I would give the food 4 stars, but the service is definitely a 5 star. Sometimes people make all the difference! read more

The most bland food, no flavor at all. This is not Mexican Food! The waitress was attentive but she parked herself at the next booth and in ridiculously loud voice had personal conversations with the people at that booth...annoying. If u are looking for tasteless food, go here. read more

Honest review...we used to eat here often and the food was decent, but kinda bland. However, over the last few months, under what looks possibly like new management, the service is absolutely, positively HORRIBLE. Every visit we wait long periods at table. I usually have to hunt down manager for a refill on our drinks. All the things that shouldn't happen at a restaurant. I'm actually sad about this because it is a convenient location and we used to eat there regularly. Our most recent visit was a call in order, which I might add will be our last visit there. I apparently grabbed the wrong to-go order and the manager came running me down in the parking lot. He was screaming "that's not yours, unless your gonna pay for it!" I was utterly shocked. He grabbed bag aggressively from me and sat it back down. I was like "excuse me!" He then handed me my bag, which he could have done nicely in the first place but didn't. Then the gentleman behind me, gave him the to-go order which I had already handled and touched the bag, etc. It was poorly handled and so we will be visiting Senor Julian in Spfd for now on. Disappointed greatly! read more

This location is going to move at the beginning of April and be behind the new McDonald's across the HWY. our server was fast and friendly and our food was good. I had the chipotle chicken chimichanga and my husband had the signature burrito with brisket. For me, their salsa was almost too sweet and had no heat. For others, that is just how they like salsa so many people will probably like it. I thought the chips were too thin. If I can't scoop up parts of my food onto the chip without breaking the chip, the chip is too thin. The chimichanga was really good. In hindsight, I would have probably asked for some guacamole or lettuce on the side to break up the amount of cheese sauce on the plate. I would say that this location offers pretty standard Mexican food for the area and is a good option for a quick bite to eat. It is a little high compared to the El Charro down the street but I imagine Primas is more appealing to some people over El Charro. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. read more

Came here for lunch apps and Margarita Monday! We were promptly seated in our desired seat section, our server Anthony was very polite. Shared the primas nachos, but upgraded to fajita meat...HOLY COW it was definitely a great decision! The queso blanco is on point! Also enjoyed a few patron margaritas! I would recommend for a friendly yummy lunch spot! read more

I really like this place. Fajitas nachos were great. Staff was wonderful and very appreciative of our business. Staff brought me desert and all sang happy birthday! Thanks Primas. Looking better and better. read more

We were seated right away at a busy lunch hour. Food did not take long considering the time of day! Tasted great! I had the shrimp bowl with chorizo and guest had the steak fajitas. You have to try the guacamole very good!! read more

Food was fabulous- I love that you are now doing fried fish tacos! your chips and Salsa are the best! better than the food is always having a friendly face and excellent service by our favorite server, Anahi! so glad she is back she was greatly missed! read more

We had tamales, beef enchiladas and burritos and all were very bland. Even the cheese had no flavor. The refried beans and rice were bland as well. The tortilla chips were nice and crisp but the salsa was like tomato sauce with very little flavor. We are not that picky but this was a big disappointment. The atmosphere and staff were good but we won't ever go back. read more

It was my friends first time here and we talked nothing but great things about it to him, unfortunately it wasn't the experiencing we've always had. We waited almost 25-30 minutes for our waitress just to come and tell us our order never got processed through, then waited another 10-15 minutes for our food to come out just for my friend's food to be the whole wrong order, then he proceeded to wait another 10 minutes just for our waitress to come back to the table to realize she put his food in wrong, all around bad experience! i will NEVER again recommend this restaurant. read more

Just ok. Nothing to get too excited about. The salsa tastes ok, but it has the consistency of V8 juice. Fajitas were good but plain. Could have used more seasoning. The onions and peppers weren't quite right... Rather than being cooked in a skillet, they appeared to come out of a warmer and placed on the skillet for looks. The guac had started to turn brown. The water tastes absolutely terrible. They need some kind of filtration system or something. On the bright side, the queso was very good, and the service was great. read more

Very nice decor, very spacious great hospitality , drinks come faster then the food, but was worth the wait..

Decided to try again since they moved from beside Ace Hardware across Hwy 65. Disappointing again. Food prices went up and quality went further down. Salsa was bland, steak was bland, typical Mexican restaurant where they just want to make some cash. The one that opened in their old location was more authentic and much better. Spending time all over Texas it's much closer to what you are really looking for when it comes to real Mexican food. I figure I'd at least give Primas a shot again but I won't be back. read more

Way overpriced (avg $12 for entrees) and bland food. Service was okay. So here's the scoop: The tortilla chips served before the meal were paper thin and not homemade. The salsa was thin as water with no chunks of vegetables or extra flavors like onion, cilantro, etc. The fish tacos were so flavorless. The fish was not seasoned at all. No crema or other sauce. The black beans were retried black beans with not a whole bean on the plate. The presentation was an issue. I was warned that the plate was so hot and not to touch it. Why would you let that out of the kitchen? It's a hazard and a danger not a benefit or appealing feature. Additionally, when you melt cheese or add liquids to flour tortillas, they get gummy and soggy. The ones for my tacos were by the time they had cooled enough to eat them. For the price and presentation, not to mention the empty cavernous atmosphere, it simply isn't worth it. I cannot recommend it. read more

We have only ordered pick-up but the family meals are always hot and delicious! The portions are great for the price but our only complaint is the salsa is very bland compared to the other two Prima's restaurants. I feel like it is only blended tomatoes. Other than that, we will for sure be long time customers! read more

The food is really not that good. The chicken in my enchiladas tasted like it came from a can. Rice has very little flavor. The salsa is very bland. I would have rather went through a drive through...this meal was blah. read more

This place was amazing half a year ago but they got a new cook and everything tastes just meh so 2 stars until they get a new cook

This used to be a favorite. Last couple of years it continues to go downhill. It started with poor service. Then, badly cooked food, including undercooked shrimp. After that, it became a combination of bad service, worse food, and the final straw is having to stand at the entrance waiting to be seated for many, many minutes. The last time, I opened and closed the door several times to activate the chime to let someone know we were there. I looked around, there were maybe 8-10 customers. Not busy at all, no one came to seat us... We turned and left after several minutes of waiting. Will not be back. Too bad. They had a good thing going. read more

We were excited to see a new location and updated menu when we went to Primas. Restaurant and new location look nice. However it's almost too bright. There's so much light that it looks like a breakfast place. The overhead lighting could be turned down. We had a nice waitress, very friendly. Now to the food. It's just bland. Let's start with the salsa. The chips were good but It literally tasted like they poured a can of tomato sauce in a bowl and added a couple spices. No flavor. The fresh guacamole came out looking good. You could see the onion, tomato and cilantro and the avocado was perfect. But again no flavor. No spices. We had to add salt and pepper. My husband ordered the chicken bowl. Diced chicken breast and white cheese sauce over rice. Chicken was tough. I ordered Cali street taco with pork carnitas. The pork was dry and again no flavor! We will stick to La Paloma and Cesar's Old Mexico in Springfield when it comes to authentic Mexican. I gave three stars because there are so many other better Mexican restaurants to choose from in the area. read more

Food was very bland. Salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce.
