" I visited Primos last weekend for a quick bite. The first thing I noticed was how clean and well-kept the place was. I ordered a gigantic burrito which was quite filling but I expected a bit more flavor. There were plenty of options to choose from, and I appreciated the salsa bar. Overall, a decent place to eat, but I may check other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has its ups and downs. On some days, the food is delicious and fresh, whereas on other visits it's just mediocre. The carne asada fries were yummy once but bland the next time. The service is consistently good, but I wish the food quality matched that. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today at Primos was a treat! I ordered nachos with carne asada and they were delicious. The portion size was generous as well as the toppings. The only downside was the wait time, but the quality of food made it worthwhile. The ambiance is great for gatherings, definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My latest visit to Primos was just okay. The food was decent, but I feel they could improve on the seasoning. I tried the steak burrito and it was a bit bland for my liking. The atmosphere is nice, but I hope they work on their flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the colorful decor at Primos! It definitely adds to the vibrant atmosphere. I ordered the monster burrito on a friend's recommendation, and it was massive! The flavors were spot on, making it an enjoyable meal. I will definitely spread the word about this hidden gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the pleasure of dining at Primos and it was an amazing experience! The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax with friends. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were packed with flavor and the meat was tender and juicy. The complimentary chips and salsa really elevated the meal. I will be returning soon for Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had a mixed experience at Primos. One time they served me cold food, but other visits have been lovely with hot dishes. The burritos can be very filling which is a plus! I hope to see some improvements in service consistency. " (*Curated Review*)
