    Chips, Green Salsa (not hot), black refried beans (complementary)
    Stan M.

    Primos Restaurant & Tequila Bar - Great Food & Service! I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and my wife and I finally decided to go for dinner. When we arrived (around 5:30 pm), the parking lot was pretty full, but there weren't many people waiting. We were quoted a 30-minute wait, which was no problem, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in about 10 minutes. Right away, we were greeted with ice-cold water (without having to ask), along with chips, green salsa (not spicy but great flavor), and black refried beans. We ordered cocktails-- I had a Tequila Old Fashioned, and my wife had a Tequila Mule. Both were very tasty and well-made. For dinner, I ordered the Carnitas Dinner, which came with green rice, whole black beans served in a fried flour tortilla bowl, and a side of pico de gallo. The only thing missing was a side of guacamole, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The food arrived quickly, everything was hot, and the flavors were delicious. The flour tortillas seemed homemade--two large, soft tortillas that complemented the meal perfectly. My wife ordered three Pastor Tacos, which also came with the same rice and beans. She really enjoyed her meal as well. For dessert, we shared the churros, which came with caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. They were served hot and fresh--definitely a great way to end the meal! Plenty of seating, with chairs around the bar. Several TV's showing current sporting events. Overall, the service was great, the food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back!

    Watermelon Margarita

    We had a very delightful experience at Primos. Excellent and delicious food choices. The service was top notch. It is a casual and relax atmosphere. The watermelon margaritas presentation alone is exquisite. It has just the right balance of Tequila and juice with slices of watermelon, too. The food can be easily shared or be prepared to have leftovers.

    Wow! Finally found a great date night spot! We came here on a whim because the other Mexican restaurant we wanted to dine at was super busy on a Friday night. There was no wait here but a good amount of people. Service was great. Upon being seated, you are served complimentary house made tortilla chips, salsa and bean dip. We ordered one our favs, molcajete with shrimp. This can easily feed two people. Super good! Their drinks are also great. My husband got a pina colada and a watermelon paloma for me. I would love to try their watermelon margarita when we return.

    Very nice atmosphere, customer service was great! Prices were fair and their food was good. I really enjoyed the green salsa and black beans and chips seemed to be fresh and warm. Plenty of parking.

    Cadillac Margarita

    First time here, my sister always raves about this restaurant and I see why. The food and service were phenomenal with fair prices. First round of drinks we had were the Cadillac margaritas, made fresh and strong we also started with the queso fundido appetizer it was amazing. After asking a few questions, our server helped me decide on the Jessie's Favorite - it is now my favorite as well. My boyfriend had the fried burrito which was packed with flavor. We finished the evening with a Watermelon Paloma & a regular Paloma - so good! I wish I would have gotten our servers name she was kind, attentive and helpful.

    QUESADILLA SINCRONIZADA WITH CHICKEN ($16)
    Alden C.

    This area in Ripon has some good restaurant options. I was pleasantly surprised by how good Primos was in my most recent visit. The customer service is also top tier and I had a great experience because of how friendly the staff are. The ambiance is also comfortable and spacious. Plenty of parking outside as well. The food is also great. What my table ordered: - Quesadilla Sincronizadas w/ Chicken ($16) - Salmon Primos Specialty Plate ($24) You also get complimentary chips and salsa as well as a type of black bean dip. The chips were actually amazing and tasted very fresh. They were warm and crispy. The green salsa was delicious, but also not very spicy. The bean dip sprinkled with a little bit of cheese got cleaned out very quickly. It was a 10/10. The staff was also very attentive and would ask if my table needed refills for chips which was really nice. I personally got the quesadillas with chicken and boy I definitely cannot finish them in one sitting. The value for the amount of food you get is pretty good. The chicken is really tender and moist and the quesadilla was loaded with cheese. They use some really good tortillas. I was a fan. I tried a bite of the salmon and it was moist and flavorful. I was overall really pleased with my experience at Primos and I would be happy to come again. The service to the quality of the food makes this an easy restaurant to recommend especially considering Ripon doesn't have a ton of options.

    Super Burrito with beef & green sauce.
    Honest M.

    We drive from Oakdale to come here! So good! Love the bean dip. My go to is "Jessie's Favorite" -- you'll want to drink the green poblano garlicky sauce! My husband always gets the super burrito. Come here & enjoy! Great staff & super clean restaurant.

    Rosemary Margarita... SO GOOD!
    Cheryl D.

    One of the best Mexican Restaurant/Tequila Bars in the Central Valley. Have NEVER been disappointed with their food or service. Great place to eat. If you like Tequila, order the Tequila flight board so you can sample some smooth to smoky & smooth Tequila. Not into a straight shot, NO PROBLEM! Try one of their signature margaritas! They are DELISH! They also have a full bar so pick your poison! Oh, wait? You just wanted food! They've got you covered! Chefs kiss delish! Oh! And orders to go if you want to dine at home. Service is great, atmosphere is wonderful! They also have banquet rooms you can book for large parties! So what are you waiting for! Bring your bestie and share a pitcher of good speciality margarita spirits and a good authentic meal.

    Pastor Con Pina
    David F.

    Went here yesterday for my Sisters bday. Upon walking in I noticed there was a lot of seating. They have an outside area too. There's also a bar area and multiple tvs. They start you off with chips and salsa. They give you a bean too. The salsa was pretty good. It was a green salsa and wasn't spicy at all. The been dip was good. Eventually Tomas came over and took our order. He was a really good server. He was on top of everything. I ended up getting the Pastor Con Pina. It was three tacos with pastor, grilled pineapple and onions and cilantro. Came with rice and black beans. Very delicious. Pastor was nice and seasoned. The onions and pineapple gave it that extra touch. The rice was good but I didn't really care for the beans. It came with a red salsa but I preferred the green one. Very good meal. If ever out this way again I'd go back.

    An oasis when journeying through the Central Valley! Ripon should be so lucky to have such a great dining establishment. 1. Chips and salsa with the refried black beans is off the hook. Delicious, crispy and those beans...wow! 2. I had two delicious cocktails, both crafted for me off-menu by the bartender/server. She's very talented and super nice! 3. My lunch comprised three al pastor tacos on handmade tortillas with all the fixins'. Juicy, mouthwatering and delicious and I had leftovers! I was extremely pleased with my experience at Primos and I'd go out of my way off CA-99 to return to this gem in Ripon.

    Fish Tacos
    Harpreet S.

    We stopped in on a Monday night and it was half full. There aren't many nice restaurants open on a Monday, so this was a great option. This was my first time in and it was pretty spacious inside with a bar offering. I had a mixed cocktail, I don't recall the name... something laundry- and it was delicious. We then ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp, and it was so delicious as was everything else that followed. We ordered fish tacos and a wet burrito and everything hit the spot. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good Mexican food. It is not the most "authentic", but Still very tasty! Will be back

    Considering they have only outdoor dining at the moment, which is limited seating, I would say yes. You can also call ahead and order for take home. This includes the margaritas. Gotta try the blackberry if you've not already, it's delish!

Behind the bar, two TVs provide entertainment, and a large display showcases their rotating craft beer selection. They also offer happy hour Wednesday through Sunday. We were seated right away, and our server greeted us shortly afterward. She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the beer selection. If you're unsure what to order, they'll gladly provide complimentary samples, or you can opt for a beer flight to sample four different brews. I ordered the bacon nacho fries topped with pulled pork along with a beer flight. Every beer was cold, fresh, and flavorful. The nacho fries were the standout of the meal. They were surprisingly delicious. The fries stayed nice and crispy despite all the toppings, giving each bite a great balance of texture and flavor. Two of us shared the appetizer along with our drinks, and it was more than enough food. I'd definitely order it again. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the welcoming service, excellent craft beer, and tasty food, this is a place I'll definitely be returning to so I can work my way through more of the menu.

The taste was fine but nothing impressive. I'd give it a pass. NOT RECOMMEND ** 5/18/22 La Casuela Mexican Restaurant was $12.50. It was huge and tasted great. The cheese wasn't fully melted. So, I liked it better once I warmed it up but the flavor and size were great for the price. It had more Avacodo than what I normally see in a super burrito but mostly delivered the expected super burrito experience. RECOMMENDED but may need warming. Also try La Mexicana De Ripon to see which flavor you prefer (see below). **** 5/19/22 LA Mexicana De Ripon This burrito was a bit smaller than the normal super burrito but was cheaper at $8.50 and had a fantastic flavor. It seemed to have a different seasoning or salsa that made the taste more unique. It was really great though. Side benefit - the lady that took my order was very friendly. RECOMMENDED but no need to share it. ***** 5/20/22 Ede's Taco Shop this burrito was huge (as expected for a super burrito) and costed $12.50. The staff was super nice. the flavor wasn't quite as impressive as La Mexicana De Ripon but was still quite enjoyable. Side note: my daughter had the kids meal here on 5/18 with a bean and cheese burrito and fries. i had a bite of both and they were phenomenal. The fries were among the best I've had.

My experience here is specific to ordering hot food items. I highly recommend their chicken, which has to be some of the best tasting I have had from a business. The business is reasonably priced. I can order 32 ounces of chicken, 16 ounces of rice and beans for about $38. All of that is plenty to feed four people.
