We went to Primo Cantina this evening and so glad we came here. The food was delicious! The service was very good and engaging. The decor was inviting and the Live music was fun. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was so good; picture of what I had because I can't remember the names of each item Also can't remember our server , but she was also super quick, informative, and super friendly The decor is so cute ! I like the big open areas with the high ceiling and there was a separation feel between the banquet room area, the dinning, the bar and outside ! I also like how they have garage doors to open the building up ! read more

Delicious Mexican food. Great service! Their chips are fried in beef tallow and that makes them taste even better!! Great atmosphere. Clean, fun and new! read more

Good spot for the area with seasonal patio seating that is dog friendly and has live music sometimes. This place can get pretty busy. We have been several times within a year already because it's good and easy to go to. Not my favorite Mexican spot but it not bad! read more

Came for dinner on a Sunday and it did not disappoint. Inside has nice high ceilings, but still feels cozy. Staff was awesome. Attentive and friendly. Happily willing to give us more chips and salsa, which were complementary. Great menu with a ton of options. The queso was delicious. So cheesy and creamy. The salsa has a nice kick to it, but is not overly spicy. The chips were OK. Kind of small. I got the shrimp fajita bowl and it was a really big portion. Lots of shrimp and everything tasted fresh. Bathroom was clean. Seating outside as well. read more

First time getting them, my sister always spoke highly. Got multiple items from them delievered via DoorDash. Everything came in packaged nicely and still hot/fresh. I ordered the taquitos which were absolutely delicious and crunchy but great flavor. We also got enchiladas, tacos, and so many other great items. Everything we all had was delicious and flavored great. Will have to try them again soon. read more

My husband & I love Mexican food so we were excited to try this place. Last Saturday we met his parents & brother here. It was clean, spacious, & decorated/painted nicely. The chips & salsa were tasty & our server was quick & friendly! I ordered the carne asada burrito & it was HUGE! It wasn't my favorite one I've ever had, but it was really good & I would probably order it again. My husband got the enchiladas& he really liked them. My father-in-law ordered the taquitos & he loved them! My mother in law ordered their tacos & she said they were delicious too. read more

It's been open about 3 months. No one waiting on us after the hostess sat us down for too long of a while. Hmmm. Salsa and chips are out, a long 16 minutes after being seated by a random staffer. We asked the staffer if we could order. She doesn't take orders. She said our waitress would be with us to take our order soon. Our waitress ran off after bringing our drinks. We asked the same staffer from earlier to get our waitress, this waiting is running long for a Mexican restaurant. Food order is finally in 27 minutes later. Our waitress was attentive and on top of things, once she connected with us. Ordered Guacamole, rolled tacos with side of beans only, Three grilled chicken street tacos with black bean side and Sonoran ranchero with black beans and no cheese. $65.67 The chips are good. Crispy and fresh. Mild salsa has an odd taste to me. The spicy salsa is just pure hot. The two mixed is better. The guacamole is good, not super flavorful though and a bit bland, still decent. The rolled chicken taco is good, comes with cheese inside. The first Sonoran ranchero looked good, cotija cheese on my black beans though. All of the staff see friendly and checked up on us after we ordered. The food was out good. Put a rush on my redo for my Sonoran ranchero with black beans and no cheese. The Sonoran ranchero was good. Chicken is cubed. Good flavors. The chicken taco is okay, my husband doesn't mind the shredded chicken in the rolled tacos, but he forgot to order the grilled chicken. The shredded chicken makes the read more

We had a large party with a couple of kids and were quickly seated. The food was amazing and the service was even better. The food can be great, but if the service isn't good, it won't matter...our server, Brittney H was amazing! Brittney was super friendly she was informative and personable. read more

This restaurant is at the corner of Schoenherr and 23 Mile Road in the same location as the old Miguel's. They completely renovated the interior and added a small banquet room that is not completely finished yet. They call this a "soft" opening. Other than the waitress having to work out some bugs with the check out system, we didn't have any issues. The waitress was awesome, the chips and salsa was free and the food was delicious. I got the Sante Fe bowl with the sautéed veggies and my friend got the big primo burrito which was enormous. We both took quite a bit in a to go box. I will definitely be back. read more

We went on March 28, 2026 and Reilly W was our server. Let's start off by saying she did a phenomenal job. Our drinks were never empty and her friendliness was spot on. I let her manager know as well. The food was delicious as always. This is our 3rd time eating here with the new owners and it will continue to be a regular stop for us. The only thing I don't love is the volume of the live music. This is the second time we have been there with the singer performing. The 1st time we sat in the bar area and were unable to hear each other at the table. This time we sat in the dining room far from the entertainment and it was still very loud. I would have them turn it down a bit if I were the manager. This will not stop us from returning but I do feel the loudness will drive some away. We will be back due to the great food and great service. The music volume is unnecessary. read more

We came back to the Cantina on a less busy Thursday evening and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I had the Carne Asada Burrito and she had the fish tacos, and they were So Good! The burrito was HUGE and full of flavor and quality ingredients and the fish tacos were equally impressive. We're already looking forward to another return visit. read more

Super clean place ! 1st timer. Service was exceptional. Shared 2 lunch specials. Tacquito plate & beef burrito. Both were huge, came with all the sides- tasted great. Warm - homemade chips - good salsa included. Added in a flight of different flavored margaritas. Good also. Bunch of leftovers on the food - but imagine that - the margaritas were empty. read more

The best! Great tasting food, great staff, great atmosphere! How is it so good? Everything made from scratch! Well worth the visit!

I went to Primo Cantina on Friday, September 11. Had the new shrimp cocktail, absolutely amazing. The flavors from the ingredients just lit up your taste buds. I also had the new torta sandwich. You should run and order that sandwich not walk. First of all it is huge, Second, the avocado, the onions, and the peppers, and the smokiness of the meat are just unbelievable and then on top of all of that you have this amazing bread that is just absolutely divine. Primo Cantina is definitely five steps above any other Mexican restaurant that I've been to. I love this place. read more

Not bad if you avoid the buffalo shrimp taco's. too much noise to hear the people your sitting with talk. Margarita "house" is nasty nasty nasty and they said try their top shelf and why would I do that after the one i just tossed out. read more

I have no clue what this place was before but I stopped in here on my way home from scrapbooking. I love good Mexican food, and this place seems to have it. Walking in I was pleasantly greeted by a wonderful hostess and she at me at a booth in the main dining area. They have bar seating, but since it wasn't busy, I was thrilled I didn't have to sit there. I reviewed the menu and they have a great selection of items and specials. The hostess and server both told me about taco Tuesday along with their happy hour specials. I was about 15 minutes to early for happy hour, but you can get tacos galore made several different ways. I didn't want any rice and beans this time, but if I did it would've cost a few bucks extra. Since prices were good, I thought about it but didn't order it. Food was delicious and I was full when the whole meal was complete. Decor is nice, and they have a really cool mural over the kitchen area of cactus. I couldn't get a photo of it, but I got to stare at it and really enjoyed it. Very cool. Overall a wonderful experience and would return in the future. read more

Every experience we have there is great! We are absolute regulars and totally enjoy the live music provided fridays & saturday nights. The entertainment just enhances it all for us while we margarita & dineThe food is always tasty & fresh. Great portions, great chefs & friendly staff, always. Way to go, Primo read more

Although service was excellent, the Chicken Fajita burrito had 5 lbs of rice in it, with a few pieces of chicken and onion. Saw no green pepper. Very disappointing meal!!! Would be a hard sell to recommend this place to friends!!! read more

We went to Primo Cantina for lunch yesterday and will definitely be going back! I love the aesthetic--lots of big windows, and everything feels fresh and clean. The food was absolutely delicious. All six of us were very happy with our meals and felt it was a great value for the price. We ordered the Cantina Bowl, Big Burrito, Enchiladas, Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas, and Shrimp Tacos. We also tried the Jamaica and Horchata. I could honestly drink a whole gallon of the Jamaica--it was that good! The Horchata was pretty good too, though it had a slight red-hot cinnamon flavor to it. Andrew, the manager (possibly owner), checked in on us several times and even treated us to complimentary fried cheesecake. It was delicious! read more

New Mexican restaurant in a spot that had a previous Mexican restaurant. The new people come in with more than 20 years experience and you can tell. The food and service is good and the prices reasonable. Both entrees with Carne Asada had plenty of quality steak and taste. Homemade chips/salsa and Margarita that you can taste the tequila was a great start. We will return. read more

Great food and service. Our expectations were exceeded. We had a carne asada burrito and a pork carnitas burrito bowl, both portions were delicious, well-plated and very generous. We also shared an order of the Mexican street corn and a few golden margaritas. The drinks were spot on with additional excellent tequila options from the bar. Will absolutely be going back as this is a welcome change from the previous owners. Our Server Britney was great read more

We love this place! What sets it apart from other Mexican restaurants is the freshness of the ingredients. The meats and produce are always fresh, and the quality really stands out. The portions are generous, so you definitely get great value for your money. The service is consistently excellent, and the owner recognizes us and always takes the time to greet us, which makes us feel welcome and appreciated. My favorite dish is the Veggie Fajita Bowl, it's delicious, fresh, and packed with flavor. This has become one of our favorite places to eat, and we highly recommend it! read more

The staff and food are amazing. Excellent customer service! Especially Anthony and Joshua!

Went for the first time and the food is better than average, I'd say 6.5 - 7.0 out of 10. It's not fantastic and it didn't suck. It was just your typical Michigan/Mexican food that you would get at any restaurant around here. And right off the bat, the silverware on the table was dirty and we needed a new set. Our waitress was very good. She was prompt, polite and attentive. Ambiance... loud. Was hard to have a conversation with my wife and daughter. Probably because of the extra high ceiling. My personal opinion, very much over-hyped just like most newly opened Mexican restaurants around here. read more

I ordered Door Dash from them, the packaging was pretty good. The Birria Tacos were not bad, the rice that came with them was tasteless and unappealing, the beans were ok. The steak burrito was very bland but huge in size, yet no more than an ounce or two of steak. Just filled to the brim with the same bad rice that came with the tacos. The kids quesadilla and the street corn inedible! If you are looking for big portions this is your place, if you are looking for flavor and taste, I would not recommend. read more

I saw some good reviews about the soft opening of Primo Cantina, and wanted to check it out. Arrived at 3:00pm and not much of a crowd (which is what I prefer) yet. Was seated by one of the owners who was great during our experience there. After we were seated I saw the owner bring out a few platters of fajitas for the waitstaff to try out. He told me that today was the first time introducing them, and he wanted the waitstaff to give them a try. They weren't on the soft opening menu, but he said I could order them if I wanted to. Of course I had to give them a try, and being the first patron to order them felt pretty good. I did a combo of steak and chicken, both meats you could tell have been marinaded before they were cooked, which I don't think you typically see done. The flavor of both meats alone was fantastic. My friend ordered the street tacos with shredded chicken which she said were very good. I told her I'm typically not a fan of shredded chicken because it usually comes out pretty wet, but hers looked very appetizing for how they were presented and didn't have that very finely shredded wet appearance to them. Complimentary chips and salsa were on point, along with the margarita's. I tried the Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita and it was excellent. The owner graciously brought us out a complimentary fried cheesecake which was incredible with a light cinnamon coating on it. Grand opening is set for 10-01-2025, and I'm looking forward already to returning. read more

This is the best Mexican food full restaurant in Michigan hands down! There is nothing like this around and so happy they are finally opened. I lived on the west coast for 20 years and this is definitely as authentic as you can get. Not to mention you can taste the quality of the meats they are using in the food. We ordered a bunch of different things but I will be dreaming about those rolled tacos! read more

The owner also came and personally made sure everything was going great for us. 10/10 will be back read more

Average Mexican food with good service and ambience. -Chips and salsa - below average. Salsa didn't taste like much. -queso- pretty decent but could use more flavor - fish taco- It was much larger in size than I expected and tasted good. - birria quesadilla- good amount of meat and tasted good - elote - tasted good but too much mayo and the corn was overcooked Overall, definitely tastes like "American" Mexican food. Everything needed more seasoning. The price was very reasonable and loved our server. read more

I went to Primo Cantina last night for the first time with a friend. Atmosphere wise it was a Fri. night and as expected it was busy. The restaurant was very loud which made it difficult to converse across the table. The food we had (fish tacos with black beans and rice on the side and street tacos with the sides) were both very good, as were the Expresso Martinis. Our server Reilly W was super friendly and checked on us regularly to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Price-wise for 2 drinks and 2 fish tacos, before the tip it came to just under $47, so not cheap. I definitely would like to try it again maybe when it wasn't a busy Fri. night, as it was good overall. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious, whether you dine in or get carryout, the quality is just as good. The staff are attentive and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend! Jenna is the best! read more

So so soooo good! I highly recommend this place! We started with delicious margaritas and queso with ground beef. It was excellent! I ordered a quesadilla with the birra beef and loved it. We also tried the beef birra tacos with the dipping beef sauce. Very good! We called in and still had a bit of a wait but it was worth it. It was very crowded by 6. The setting is fine. Not a great place to stand and wait but, the tables were well spaced. From the call in to seating, it probably took 30-40 minutes. The manager was friendly and cheerful. Riley waited on us and did a good job. read more

So excited to finally have a really good Mexican restaurant around. We have already been here multiple times and have yet to find something we didn't like. We've had the shrimp ceviche, chicken rolled tacos, guacamole, queso, carne asada tacos, fish tacos, quesabirria tacos, primo burrito, primo rancheros, kid's chicken quesadilla, soup and fried ice cream. Everything has been absolutely delicious. The chips and salsa were so fresh and flavorful. The green and red salsas/sauces that come with the food are phenomenal. You can taste the quality of the ingredients they use in every bite. Their drinks are great too. So far, we've tried a margarita and an espresso martini and both were fantastic. To top it off, the service was excellent and the place is so cute! I will be recommending this place to everyone I know and I'm already looking forward to our next visit! read more
