    The food tasted really good but unfortunately I found plastic in my taco. I went back in and the lady offer a refund but she started talking in Spanish and she seems a little annoyed and I felt uncomfortable about because she gave me weird look as if i did something wrong.

    By far Tres Primos has some of THE BEST Mexican cuisine I have ever eaten in this area. From the cocktails, to the starters and ending with the entrees everything was absolutely delicious! The decor is very stunning! I loved the bright and captivating colors and appreciated the wall art and custom chairs. It's welcoming & very beautiful! On this particular day there were only 2 people on shift. The lovely woman who took care of myself and lunch date and the wonderful chef. They were both extremely pleasant and welcoming. It was a pleasure to have met them both. I am unsure how I have survived this long without dining at Tres Primos. However, now that I have I'm sure I won't be able to stay away. *New hours are Tuesday - Sunday from 12-9 pm *

    Street Tacos - Chicken

    And Authentic it was. Huge portions. The best refried beans. Flavorful Enchiladas. Awesome Service. Can't believe we didn't stop in sooner. Great ambience and family friendly atmosphere.

    Great portions, great tasting. Just a great place to go if you're craving Mexican food. Not the greatest of quality but nothing bad to say about it. You get what you pay for and it's good!

    Primos special
    Jeff P.

    Came here on a recommendation from my boss. Typically used to Tex mex so authentic was rather new to me. Got the primos special with chicken and slow roasted pork chorizo in it covered with queso Mexican rice and beans. Freaking amazing such and amazing juicy blend of flavor and texture. This is going to be a frequent place to visit for me. Upbeat fun Spanish music I found myself hopping around to and a nice comfy dining room. Staff was friendly and willing to answer questions and the chips and salsa before we even ordered was an added amazing flavorful bonus. I'm a sucker for chips and salsa but these took the cake. Check this place out !!

    Carnitas, rice, beans

    Went to Tres Primos for the 1st time Saturday evening after recommendations from friends. It was only a 10 min wait, but we were told to wait outside. They had tables in the entryway (I'm assuming for social distancing) so there was no where to wait inside. Unfortunately we were sat at one of those tables right next to the door. It was a chilly day so every time the door opened we got hit with the cool air. I was very surprised that chips and salsa are not an automatic thing they bring to the table. You have to order them and they cost extra. I was willing though as you cant go out for Mexican and not have chips and salsa. Honestly they weren't as good as our favorite Mexican place that gives them complementary. The chips didn't taste fresh and home made. I ordered Carnitas. They came with rice and beans. They brought them out on the biggest plate I've ever seen. It wasn't necessary as the food was extremely spread out. (See picture) The carnitas were good. I wish they a had served some sort of pico, salsa, or sauce with it as it just needed a little something. The rice and beans I did not like. The beans had no flavor and were overwhelmed with cheese. The rice was a little undercooked. Service was quick but our server seemed impatient and annoyed. It could be due to the fact that a fight broke out in the next room while we were sitting there. It was hard to read our bill and make sure everything was right because they apparently don't have a POS system. They wrote it all by hand and our server did not have neat writing. I figured that the dollar amount seemed about right and just went by that. I have a few other Mexican restaurants I like and 1 I absolutely love so safe to say I won't be taking the hike to Elbridge for this Mexican restaurant again.

    Street tacos!!

    Always a great time. My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Food is always piping hot and the service is spot on. They have a little of something for everyone. Get the Steak street tacos you won't go home hungry. Enjoy

    Fajita tejana
    Tracie L.

    For years I've wanted to try this spot and finally got there to make it happen. We went in a Friday at 6pm. We waited about 40 minutes for a table for 6. The dining room is a good size but not huge. It probably seats 30 people. They were prompt with drinks and you get complimentary chips and salsa. I had the fajitas tejana (?). It is the fajita option with chicken, steak and shrimp. A friend got the same thing and only got 1 shrimp! I got 4 in mine, so some inconsistencies there. It came with a side of rice and beans. The flavor and portion was good on mine. I really think that everyone's was a lot of food. I ordered the guacamole salad. The guacamole was ok but the lettuce it was on was watery and just too wet. There was standing water in the bottom of he dish. My husband liked it better than the Mexican restaurant that we most recently tried before this. I would say it was probably similar.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Kyle S.

    Was recommended by one of my bosses to come eat at this spot, and didn't think I was going to come until I saw it randomly on the drive home from a brewery trip near the finger lakes. The service here is very quick; we ordered and had our food within 5-8 minutes, no joke. The portions are big, but the cost is a bit much. I ordered 3 enchiladas with red sauce. The chicken enchilada was standard, the ground beef unimpressive and bland, and the shredded beef was surprisingly very good. If and when I come back I think I will get all 3 shredded beef. The enchilada red sauce is decent but could've used a bit more spice. One thing I noticed with the presence of tapatio and cholula sauce at each table, which I really appreciated, compared to some other "Mexican" restaurants in the area that have only Tabasco and Franks Red Hot.

    Too much garlic in all their dishes. I liked the tropical slant to their Mexican food, .., instead of spicy.
