Primos Mexican Food & Cantina — Restaurant in San Diego

Had made an order for doordash. Somehow, it wasn't going to be doordashed, but it was set for pickup. Why is there even an option for that! Nonetheless, I couldn't pick up the order, and doordash won't cancel and refund the order. I called Primos and told them the situation they said we can't take it to you because there was only one person there ( so Primos would even deliver it themselves if possible) talk about customer service. Then she said you come by anytime today, and we'll hold it for you. I get off of work about 4 hours later, get there, and this sweet attendant helps me and says look the burrito isn't good anymore it's cold and been sitting. It's no problem I'll make you anew one. I said really no it's okay, what are you going to the old one?" She tosses it. She says I'll make you a new one it's no problem. I say we'll that's very nice of you really thanks. It was an awesome experience 👌 👏.

I got the Cali Jr, flavors go together it's a medium-sized burrito it was okay, carne asada tasted a bit old. If the carne asada was sautéed before adding it to the burro, it would be better. Also, the fries were very sporadic throughout the bite experience. Was bitting mostly through cheese and sourcream at times. Better setup for the burrito would make it much more enjoyable. I know they remade it and I'm grateful but it needs some...

From one review reader to another; take these reviews with a grain of salt. Our family has been to this location several times since moving to the area and this is our go to for good Mexican food with some flare. On our last trip there our son ordered his usual Cali monster burrito, to which we always have leftovers for lunch the next day and I ordered the monster fries MexiCali and they have yet to disappoint. Besides who doesn't want fries and Mexican flavors. My suggestion would to always dine in because the portion sizes are amazing and sadly the ToGo boxes can only fit so much. As far as the cost of the foundation drinks, it is a normal price any restaurant, on the plus side you can get as many refills since the fountain dispenser is not behind the checkout. The bathrooms are clean and that is a bonus for me. My only suggestion would for the to post no smoking signs because on this last trip our meal was interrupted by two individuals who chose to smoke on the outside patio. I did not mention anything due to be unsure about the policy within the restaurant or state laws. Anywho, take my advice and just give it a try. My suggestion on wanting take out is ask for dine in and then give it a couple minutes and then request their ToGo...

I can't honestly remember visiting any Los Primos locations prior to yesterday, but I'm glad I did.

I was pondering the thought of a burger from 4+1 Guys, but the $2 Taco Tuesday sign, with high quality pics, caught my eye and the decision was made. Three tacos it is!

I asked the girl at the counter which tacos topped with onions & cilantro were pictured on the sign, she kindly explained that it was one of each: chicken, carnitas, carne asada and adobada. She went the extra step to explain that the fish taco has different toppings.

So I ordered 1 carne asada, 1 adobada, and 1 fish taco; all 3 were delicious with plenty of meat and double tortillas. You will be asked what salsas you would like since the self-serve salsa bar is "cerrado" due to covid. I decided on habanero and chunky.

My food was out in a reasonable amount of time with utensils included; napkins are provided by a napkin dispenser at each table.

I didn't get to experience anything off of their "monster" menu, which all are prominently displayed on the middle screen of their digital menu. Maybe next time...

Friendly service and great adobada tacos make it worth a...
