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

Food was great! The waitress Rielly was awesome! I will definitely be coming back here, it's a great place if you like big portions

Reilly was our server. She gave amazing service, was very cheerful, and made me feel very welcome! The food that was served was amazing! I would give 6 stars if I could. 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

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

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 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

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

Great food!! Management is awesome!! Highly recommended. Get the shredded Chicken street tacos!!

This is the BEST tasting food of all the Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great. Flan was amazing!!! Met Andrew the owner--He was so accommodating, friendly and great to talk to. He and the staff take a lot of pride in the food and service. I highly recommend this place--It's worth going to. Can't wait to return there with my family this time. 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

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

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

Food Good, Welcoming atmosphere. Reilly was FANTASTIC!! Thank GOODNESS Reilly works here. she'd be the type to offer to save me from a fire. she'd be the type to lend me her car after i tragically crashed mine. there's no doubt that she'd scale a building to help me get my cat out from a disaster. i am so glad i walked into this establishment and had reilly here to serve me my delicious food, including three american tacos and quesaburria tacos. yum yum! chip chip cherrio! 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

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

Great Mexican food. Excellent service from Jenna our waitress. A little noisy, but a fun crowd.

Great food, great atmosphere, and incredible service. Came in there for the fist time for a rare day off weekday lunch. Young lady Jennifer Utz gave me the best service. She was very personable and I have told my friends and family about the service & food and we are coming back because of her and the great cooks and atmosphere. read more

Primo Cantina was an amazing experience from start to finish. The restaurant was spotless tables, floors, and overall atmosphere were incredibly clean and well maintained, which really stood out. I went on a Sunday at it was surprisingly busy, but the bussers did a great job keeping everything organized and tidy, clearing tables quickly and always staying on top of things with a positive attitude. You could tell they really cared about doing their job well. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Very rude service and very piss poor communication your staff is really bad !!! Ordered a carry out and was brought out before I finished my meal. I had to ask for silver ware and refills. I will be tell everyone not to go here. I am surprised your business has lasted this long with such crappy workers !!! 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

Food was so delicious. They make the best guacamole. Riley was a great server so sweet.

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
