“Loved this place the service was great and food was delicious! Definitely adding this place on our rotation of Mexican restaurants.”

“Very bright interior and attentive, friendly service. We had the enchiladas in red sauce lunch special and a taco salad, both were good, but the chicken in the enchiladas with the sauce was fantastic. The chips they gave at the start was warm, light, and crunchy. We also had a delicious Mango Loco margarita.”

“This is my third time dining here, and it never disappoints! I love trying a different dish each visit, and everything has been absolutely delicious. The red sangria is amazing, and I’ve enjoyed the chimichanga, steak fajitas, enchiladas, and guacamole—all fantastic! On top of the great food, the restaurant itself is beautiful. Highly recommend. Mario was server each time and he is part of the great experience.”

“The churros with ice cream and abualita chocolate cake were the bomb!”

“It's a decent spot, they are way top expensive though, so you can say it's not worth the money. I cook way better. Don't get me wrong the food was ok but $21+ for a torta dinner??? Crazy. And it's a tiny torta too. 5 stars for the man that took my order though, he was very kind and professional.”
“We loved Primos Locos! Great atmosphere, super friendly service only out done by the food. We had the cactus salad with chicken and the taco salad with chicken. Both were delicious with very unique seasoning. Same for the salsa chips.”
“First time eating here. Exceeded my expectations. The food was super tasty, and their staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend coming here!”
“Great place for a family reunion or casual dinner”
