Primo's MX Kitchen - Fajitas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stop here while in Dallas based of a recommendation. The parking is street parking and they is a charge but no designated area for the restaurant. We waited a little before we were asked about seating on the inside or outside , we choose the outside. The soda was flat that we were given and the food was okay. It was nice to sit outside and people watch. Not a bad place for drinks and relaxing with friends. read more

Who's hungry?? Primos MX Kitchen brings a fresh take on an old favorite with inspirations ranging from the border of Texas to Southern Mexico. Check out three locations in Dallas (Hillcrest, Uptown and Downtown at The Statler), and the newest one at the River Walk in Flower Mound! We were invited to try out the menu at the new location. We were impressed to see over 60 tequilas on the drink menu, plus featured house cocktails (like the blood orange guavarita and raspberry hibiscus paloma shown here). Nosh on tacos, fajitas, other Tex-Mex faves and speciality dishes. read more

Got invited for some friends to try Primos MX kitchen for the first time. Sat at the bar and the service was 8/10! I had to ask for water a couple of times but other than that the service was good. The ambiance is cute it can be good for a drink after work to dating. The parking was really hard because it's no designated parking for the restaurant. I had to do street parking and paid with the meter. The food was below average I ordered chicken flautas. It just wasn't flavored. The Flautas was fried very hard to the point it was a little overwhelming. The guac was good though! read more

Primo's MX Kitchen - Chicken Flautas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Came here for a late dinner with a few girlfriends after our original plans went downhill. Even though the whole night leading up to this was not ideal, finally ending up here made it all worth it! It was super cute and cozy inside. Also, all employees were wearing masks and social distancing was clearly in effect so that definitely put us all at ease. This location closes at 1:00 am on Saturdays and while we arrived around 10:30 and were informed that the kitchen closed at 11:00. So FYI - keep that in mind in case you think you're going to slide through here at midnight for a drunken late night snack after running the streets, NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Anyway - our server Cameron was so sweet and helped us get all of our orders in before it was too late! He was very gracious and informative and didn't make us feel rushed at all. I ordered the carne asada fries and they were DELICIOUS!! They definitely didn't skimp on the toppings and I really appreciated that. I also had the primo villa dip, which is basically a loaded queso with beef, avocado, pico de gallo, and crema! I completely forgot to take a photo but it was absolutely fantastic!! I had some left and it reheated wonderfully the next day. I'm so glad I got a chance to finally try Primo's, as it has been on my list for awhile. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back whenever I'm in the Uptown area! read more

Great location off McKinney next to Breadwinners, only downside is limited parking spots. Inside is spacious and includes a nice bar area and a small area for a band to play live music. Menu covers about everything you'd see at any Tex-mex spot. Frozen house margarita was solid. Ordered the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. Right off the bat I noticed portion sizes across the table were small, but the food was solid. I liked that they served refried black beans. Overall good experience. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 1/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 3/5 ----- I will start with the caveat that I came with a big group, which is never easy to have to be the server to that table, but still, I thought that the service was so bad that it ruined the whole experience for me. This place is a classic uptown joint - trendy, cute, loud music, outdoor area. Food is ok, probably exactly you're expecting from a place like this. First of all, they ran out of chairs for the table, and they also ran out of menus. (I don't know, don't ask me, maybe something happened, would love to give them benefit of the doubt.) When I was ordering for me and a friend (we were going to share a few plates), the waiter was appalled and said we were ordering too much, and even after I said oh we'll take some home it's okay (I appreciate a gentle warning about portion size), he questioned us and asked us if we were sure multiple times, in a very judgmental tone. I didn't appreciate it, and multiple people around us commented about how weird it was. I don't know if it's a woman thing, but my male friend sitting next to me had to step in and say, it's fine, can we please move on. read more

Met friends for Happy Hour last week and loved this place. We went on a Thursday which is $5 frozen drinks. My friends loved the frozen margaritas, but my favorite was the frozen pineapple mule. Carne asada fries and guacamole were also a hit. We sat at the bar and the bartender Mya was very informative and quick. We'll definitely be going back! read more

Primo's MX Kitchen - Frozen Pineapple Mule - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The presentation of the food wasn't so great, no was it as yummy as I expected it to be. The happy hour isn't really a happy hour...they just give half the food from the main menu at half the price. My drink (not pictured) was called "Ranch Water" and it definitely tasted like that...water. Overall was kind of disappointed with the experience. Also-from a cleanliness standpoint: the bartender touched all glasses from the rim and fingers inside. It made me not want to order more drinks. read more

I wanted to like this place so much. The space, the patio, the decor, etc. is just beautiful. Now, I know decor shouldn't influence my expectations of a place but it certainly did here and it was a let down. The margarita specials are excellent and they were very good. Unfortunately, the few items we tried on a foodie tour visit here was some of the blandest Mexican food I've ever tasted. Being a NM-native, I try to keep a very open mind when trying Mexican/Tex-Mex, etc. anywhere other than NM. While everything had the potential to be great here, it just fell flat. The constant theme was everything was terribly underseasoned and just flavorless. Just a few small tweaks could have really completely changed this- a touch of salt, some extra lime juice, just...something to brighten everything up. The salsa for the chips and salsa looked excellent and fresh but was severely lacking. Some cilantro (or more of it), lime, jalapeno, a touch of salt, and some onion would've been a game changer. The tacos we had pretty much had the same issues. The chicken and beef were obviously marinated in something but I could only really tell by color only. Somehow the pickled red onions had almost zero flavor except sweet and didn't resemble what they should taste like at all. The shredded cheese blend didn't add anything- a cotija or even feta would've added much more. I hardly ever add salt to my food but even doing that and adding a bit of lime couldn't save it. Overall, very disappointing but I'd definitely check it out for drinks and the very cool atmosphere. read more

I liked the atmosphere here. We sat outside, however, since it was a nice day. Our server was nice and helpful since it was our first time and suggested the Primo Villa dip for me. It was really good, and so was the salsa that he'd brought to the table when we initially sat down. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, very strong margaritas . Will definitely come back! Ambiance was great, fast service. Was originally a little hesitant about coming because of the negative reviews, but I don't understand why they have them... I had the combination #1 and loved it.

The server... bless his heart. A really nice guy and you could tell he was working his butt off but he was NOT set up for success. My friends and I come here once a year for a b-day dinner. He always calls ahead of time to let them know we will be a large party. We were a 20 top with ONE server. Anyways.... Food was cold. Food came out sporadically. Some waited 30 minutes to get food... long after everyone else had ate... and one half of the table basically didn't exist bc the side the serve kept coming in on.... The guest would get his attention first and he would rarely circle back to the other side. I was there for an hour before he brought me water.... read more

My first time visiting Primos was definitely a success. My fiancé and sister came along with me as we embarked on $2 Tuesday! What's that you might try ask? Well, on Tuesdays, Primo's has this awesome deal of $2 margaritas!!! I was so happy because margaritas are my favorite drink. Once we got the drinks rolling it was time to pick some food. I got the carne asada fries. It's under the appetizer menu, but it could definitely be an entree. It was loaded with all the good stuff. I was so full from it I couldn't even finish. I definitely recommend checking out Primo's! It's a really cool spot in Uptown Dallas who know what it means to have a good meal to remember. read more

Garbage experience - Stopped in on a Tuesday night for $5 margs and tacos. Took the hostess 15 minutes just to get our name and party size. Restaurant was visibly empty behind her? Took over 45 minutes to get a table, and the waiter basically told us we could get tortillas with some stuffing in it, no cheese, no lettuce, no tomatoes. They seemed extremely short staffed or something. They were apologetic and brought us some free queso, but also served us stale, cold food and were acting like they had hosted a party that got too big for them or something. Don't go. read more

Service was horrible. Waited 30minutes+ even with a reservation made 2 days prior to our dinner. Food was also super mediocre which was disappointing due to having a long wait time to receive our food. And to put the cherry on top had to wait 40+ minutes to get our cards back after paying while seeing everyone stand around and talk in the back. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Primo's MX Kitchen - Carne asada fríes and chicken tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I used to really like this place, but then I went on Cinco de Mayo and I don't think I'll ever go back. It was a pretty terrible experience. We didn't get seated until 50 minutes after our reservation time (original reservation time was 7pm, and we weren't seated until 8:50pm). Our server didn't come by until 30 minutes after that (so around 8:20pm). Our orders were completely wrong when our server rang them in (even after repeating them to her multiple times). I then asked her to revise my ticket so I could wait in line for my food, and our server came back with the wrong items on the ticket, again. The music was far too loud for the venue. We were yelling to try to hear the people that were sitting across from us at our table, and we still couldn't understand them. It felt like a night club that started at 7pm and we were hoping to get a relatively normal (yet festive) restaurant experience. I thought it was a pretty bad system to wait almost an hour and a half for your table/server, then wait for a ticket so you could order your food, then wait in a line for you to get your food. We didn't even end up getting our food until around 8:45pm or 9pm. I get that Cinco de Mayo is a pretty busy holiday for most TexMex restaurants, but the service even after we got seated was pretty terrible and the food was only okay. It was by far the worst system, service, and experience I think I've ever had. The host was really nice though and apologetic about us not getting seated at the time of our reservation, so I guess that's a plus. Also, they overcharged us. Our waitress added in about 5 extra things that we didn't order. AND they charged us extra for using a credit card. This place absolutely sucks. read more

I don't get on Yelp very often, but when a place is great or absolutely horrible, I feel compelled to write a review. My recent experience at this place was, quite possibly, the most disgusting and infuriating Tex-Mex dining experiences in my life. Outside, you're compelled to pay $15.00 to park for one hour in a lot across the street with no crosswalk. If you make the jaywalk without getting runover by a car, your horrible destination awaits. I should have walked out immediately, given that there were only a couple tables seated on a pleasant Saturday night (a sign not heeded, to my dismay). Do not go here to eat food. Any food. The menu is 3/4 drinks; the ones our party had were rancid and borderline vomit-inducing. Our party ordered a variety of food items, and every single thing was utter garbage. Let's get to the food. Plentiful chips -- I'll give them that -- but the two salsas that came with them were awful and too similar to really warrant serving both. One is basically water with tomato flavor -- the sauce wouldn't stick to any chip. The other, also tomato-based, was so sweet, barely had any texture, and seemingly put into a blender with an amount of smoke added in to blast it into high holy hell. Disgusting. To start, we ordered the "gussied up" queso (Primo Villa Dip) with all the additives. Poor choice. It arrived cold and congealed, and the additives had no flavor. Also had the guacamole, which, quite frankly, tasted like a plain, obliterated avocado. $30 already down the drain (nay - $45 if you include parking). Oh, and the flautas -- don't go anywhere near those. Flavorless. We ordered tacos, enchiladas with all the available sauces (no Chile con Carné or Chile con Queso on a friggin' Tex-Mex menu?), a Chile Relleno, and someone had the Carne Asada. To be frank, the ground beef in the tacos was greasier than Vaseline; the chicken was bland; the brisket was gamey; and the cheese in the enchilada tasted like melted Kraft American cheese slices. The sauces didn't help: Verde tasted like water; Roja much the same (with a hint of tomato); Crema didn't even taste like sour cream; and the Queso reminded me of pure butter. Just abysmal. The Carne Asada was tough, difficult to chew, and swallow. (Water was never refilled by anyone). The worst part: the Chile Relleno. Hands down, this is the worse Tex-Mex item I have ever put in my mouth. Battered (I'm in the non-battered camp, but whatever), it came out as a pile of mush. No crispiness. The pepper itself disintegrated when trying to put it on a utensil, the filling was garbage, and the "side sauces" were basically A1, a horrible non-buttermilk RANCH DRESSING??? (probably Ken's), and more of the sickening salsa. Pico de Gallo was present, but they used red onions instead of white, which makes it inherently more watery. Bleh. All that, and most of our orders came out with defects. One enchilada plate had everything wrong: one person ordered a Crema beef enchilada, a Cheese enchilada with Roja, and a Brisket with Verde...with only beans and no rice. What came out was: a Cheese enchilada with crema, a Chicken enchilada with Queso, a Brisket enchilada with Roja, and double rice. We didn't bother sending that back. Plus, the tortillas used for the enchiladas were about 4" long -- mini flautita-sized. I'm all for giving places a second chance, but this was so putrid, I won't be back. Finally -- Primo's MX Kitchen est. 1986 is bull****. This "Primos" was established around the start of 2020. A company simply bought the old name, made it look "nice" (not really -- everything in the damn place is brown; money not well-spent), and called it a day. The "old" Primo's is basically E Bar -- a hop, skip, and a jump away. That place is packed nightly; this place is going to be short lived. No wonder the Preston Hollow location closed so quickly -- Dallasites can spot bad Tex-Mex from a mile away and, if consumed, will never go back. I wish I had the warning ahead of washing my money down the drain. Avoid. read more

The DJ was way too loud for a dining establishment. We had to yell at each other and the server - which I initially thought was the reason our order was messed up. Turns out it wasn't. Twice we were brought incorrect food items, and a third item was never put in for order or delivered (even after the server confirmed if I would like it now or closer to the end of the meal). Overall it was super disappointing and definitely won't be returning to this establishment. read more

Great food, friendly hostess and fast service! The hostess Sanela and our server Chris were great. We came for national margarita day so margs were $2. Yes the fire alarms went off twice but everyone thought it was funny, the fire department showed up. It didn't disturb anything. Everyone applauded and had a good laugh. They've only been open 3 days and they're aware they have some growth! The manager came by and had great hospitality and thanked us for visiting. My only negative was that the corn tortillas came out very greasy and one of the restrooms was a bit messy but it was packed for their margarita special and they've been open for a short time so I don't judge on that! read more

Great experience for the grand opening! Primo's just opened and all seats were reserved. However, the hostess proved how she could problem solve and found a table for us (a party of eight) almost immediately - very customer friendly. The server was very attentive to us and made great suggestions like the unbelievably great guacamole, extra hot salsa, and the Besos Picantes (spicy Margarita). We ordered some delicious entreés and shared them with the table. The three I recommend are the Carne Asada, a combination plate with chile relleno primos, pork belly taco, pork tostada, and the Enchiladas Champinones. The staff is very inviting; at least three managers came to the table and welcomed us. One mentioned how the training that went into grand opening and it showed. Our group of eight live in the same building about two blocks away, so we will return with a larger crowd. Great job! read more

Primo's MX Kitchen - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Have been here about 10 times and the last few visits this place has gone rapidly downhill. They used to known for their $2 margarita and $2 taco night on Tuesday. About a year ago, it was great tacos were good portion, service was incredible and drinks were good. Now, about every time I go the tacos are a hit or miss. Sometimes they're yummy and large, sometimes they're small and missing ingredients. Not sure if they have new chefs often or something but it's just not great anymore. Now for taco Tuesday, they hiked up margs to $5. Kind of a steep jump when everyone went for the $2.99 margs. Beyond just the price increases the service is now horrible. Had three different waiters on my visit last night and had to ask multiple times for items they forgot, and drinks took forever. Drinks used to take only a few minutes, I mean the margs are pre made they should not take long. You can see the giant machine they come out of behind the bar. They do have a new happy hour weekdays til 7 which is nice that has $5 items, but the sangria that is on there isn't great, Paloma is small, just not the best items. On happy hour I recommend the ranch water, quesadilla and the trio platter but that's about it. The sangria has no ice and no fruit, not how a sangria should be. If they can improve service to like it used to be then I will come back. read more

I came in and saw that they had bacon wrapped jalapeños. And I LOVE bacon wrapped jalapeños. However the waitress said they recently had to take it off the menu because people were complaining that they were too spicy. Seriously? That's why we order them! For the taste and spice! Who the hell complains that jalapeños are too spicy? (Well we know who tbh) Fire burns, jalapeños are spicy. Don't touch fire and you want get burned. Don't order jalapeños if you can't handle the spice. People need to stop ruining things for others. Also, the margaritas are yummy but the salsas aren't spicy at all... imma still eat it though. read more

I used to feel bad for my dog for eating disgusting canned "dog food" and then I had food at Primo's and for the first time, i envied my dog's can of Pedigree. It is not the food here is bad. It is simply unfit for human consumption. Unless you have the palate of a pig, of course. To top it off, the staff lied to me about cooking with foods I was allergic to. The ambiance that greets you is so inviting. The place has a beautiful outdoor area so you assume it to be a nice cozy restaurant with good food. Well folks, this is why Yelp exists... my mistake of not checking before going in cost me a good amount of money. Let me start off that the entire experience was disastrous, it's as if they orchestrated a plan to make my date night the absolute worst possible. -- We got a round of margaritas and they brought out the chips and salsa. Salsa- Their salsa tastes more like pasta sauce, it's this thick paste like "salsa" that does not taste good at all. I decided to order guacamole since i was not a fan of their salsa.... Guacamole - Talk about a bland guacamole, absolutely no flavor. No lime, no salt, no pepper, no garlic, NOTHING, just crushed avocados with some cilantro. Gladly my margarita came with a slice of lime and I asked for salt to make it remotely bearable. I believe the avocados were overly ripe since it was a weird texture of creamy (almost like they used some sort of cream added) Entreés - My date and I both order fajitas. I ask for no dairy with my food. The rice - Dry The beans were actually decent. The vegetables were not like fajita vegetables, you know, sautéed and crispy...they were soggy almost like they simply steamed it. Not only that, they were definitely cooked in butter which I requested no dairy. I call the guy working there and tell him "hey they probably made a mistake, i did not want dairy with my vegetables" and he tells me "The chef said he used regular oil" This is is the part that irritates me. I worked as a cook before in a small kitchen. I know the smell and taste of food when you cook with butter, I know the smell and taste of food when you cook with oil. I asked my date in case I was just going crazy and the nose I use to sample various scotches and wine perhaps had gone very badly. She tells me "Oh no there's definitely butter in there, I can taste it" So they lied to me, and I don't know what for. I wasn't asking for a free meal, i really don't need to resort to that type of shenanigan, but lying about allergic items is not only dishonest, it's unethical. I did not touch the entire thing plate beside a little bit of the beans. I spent about $70 to go home hungry and frustrated. Visit this dump at your own peril read more
