    We ordreded the shrimp tacos with black beans and rice.

    We had a late dinner with friends at Primo's. It had come highly recommended so we gave it a try. It was quiet and slow while we were there. There were a few folks sitting and eating and a few more at the bar. It did not impress us. Our waitress was young and lackluster with her service. After we ate, we sat and talked for a bit; however, nobody came and cleared our table, so we had to ask. This is a pet peeve of mine. Now on to the food. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Some items came out colder than thay should have. I can't honestly recommend eating here; however, if you don't hopefully your experience will be much, much better!

    I remember coming to this building when it was Petro's, they made some nice updates but has the same great feel as it used to. We ordered the queso and chips, as well as two meals, it was more than enough food. I got the chicken flautas which you choose two sides, I went with the street corn and frijoles charros. The flautas were crispy filled with chicken and came covered with sour cream and guacamole, delicious! The street corn was yummy and creamy. My fiancé had the chimichanga, it was massive! If you're looking for great food and huge portions stop in.

    I just love the outdoor seating area. Plenty of space that you can reserve. Getting there is made easy by a dedicated parking lot and HC access. Special lunch menu available daily until 2 PM. Allows for a smaller portions that are probably sized for what we should be eating - all at a fantastic price. Service is great. If you sit outside in the middle of the afternoon, you may have to go and let them know when you need something but it's pretty laid-back. I've been here now, three times in the span of a month and see myself as a regular at this location Food is delicious and I just love their street corn side.

    Dropped in for lunch based on the good vibes from a previous visit. Good food and service. Chips were fresh and tasty. I chose the Chicken Chimichanga with side salad and my girlfriend had the #3 Lunch of a Cheese Enchilada and Chicken Taco which were very good. A pleasant dining experience indeed.

    Sunday funday right? For some reason just the thought of a patio with some chips, salsa and guacamole sounded right up our alley. Swung by Primo's and shared some, along with some kick-ass shrimp fajitas, tacos michoacán, watermelon candy shot, and Dos Equis (on tap!). ALL of it was superb! I usually tack on a chile relleno al la cart but I was committed to the fajitas. Looking for a great place to smash some chips and salsa with a great outdoor patio, I'd definitely give Primo's some thought before you head west. Service was fabulous and I'm telling you, you cannot beat their outdoor patio!

    Primo's was one of our favorites when we lived in Council Bluffs, and now having one in Omaha is great! This has been here for a while now but my first time dining in for a meal. We were super impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the speed of service over lunch, despite a big rush after we sat down. Everything came out fast, hot, and very large portions! I tried their chicken enchilada and taco lunch special. It's a great deal with 2 sides included. Highly recommend the fried taco shell! Super crunchy and flavorful with the beef. Their street corn side is also big on flavor and not super spicy. I'd recommend coming here anytime for great Mexican food and great service!

    The service was attentive, great and fast. The order and food came out quickly. I wasn't a fan of the enchilada.

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are the absolute best and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. We started with some chips and dips, and the queso was delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice but still creamy and cheesy. The salsas were also very flavorful and a great start to our meal. I chose to get the carne asada for dinner and it was absolutely AMAZING. The steak was so juicy and tender, and seasoned to perfection. I was so impressed, and it was perfectly paired with some tortillas de maiz, the guacamole, and rice and beans. I would absolutely get this meal again. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were incredibly sweet, helpful, and provided great recommendations. I will absolutely be returning here again!

The place used to be an Old Chicago, so it's a little funny being in there but it was clean and well taken care of.

    Honestly so good, and some of the most unique and authentic options of any place I've been. They…read morehave a cute set up for photos and it's so bright and cheery inside! The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita! My husband got a cantarito and said it's the best one he's had from all the places we've tried to far!

The streetcar boondoggle is not affecting their block so parking is available. Decor is calming. I did not opt for an adult beverage as they were a bit pricey and I needed to retain focus. Settled on chicken enchiladas. Very tasty with some kick. The cheese was drizzled on top rather than baked through. Service was exceptionally friendly, I suspect from the bartender/proprietor. Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go.
