Love this place. Always a good price on produce especially if the fruits or veggies you want are in season. Great stop for taco nights too(Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday(fish)). You can also get take home meals that are wrapped up and in my experience great bang for you buck.

Still living Taco Tuesday!!! Staff is very quick and food is filling. Cant beat the $.69 price. If you call ahead and order 40+ you donโ€™t have to wait in line! Or get there at 4:30 to beat the crowd.

El primos no tiene huevos. Literally. I called and ordered breakfast burritos. They had the audacity to make me come in just to tell me they donโ€™t have any eggs. At 8AM nonetheless. The cashier in the front was super nice. But the kitchen people very poor customer service. No thank you, not coming back.

I called on Friday afternoon to place an order for pickup at noon on Sunday. This was for a family gathering. When I arrived the fellow at the counter could not find any record of my order. Not having much of a choice I hung around for about 20 minutes while he threw some stuff together for me. There was another woman there who had the same experience and had to wait 45 minutes for her order. I didnt even get an apology. They are very popular and their food is good but you also need to be able to depend on them.

Those vendors from Coca Cola were very rude to the owner.I wouldve thrown them out of my store along with their product.I was a customer. And they had no respect for Primos customers. The rep from CocaCola needs to have customer service skills 101 training or choose another profession.The owner was very courteous and helpful and store was very clean

I ordered beef ribs through DoorDash last night. I received pork ribs. When I called Primo to ask what happened to my order, the first person LIED to me and told me she was the manager.When I finally got the manager on the phone, he talked over me loudly while I was explaining I ordered Beef ribs. He kept saying his receipt said pork ribs. I told him I have a receipt that said beef ribs and was willing to send him my copy of the receipt. He was not interested at seeing my copy of the receipt. He kept repeating, my receipt says pork ribs. Instead of being a good manager and taking care of the situation, his response was, I hear this hundreds of times. It is such a shame because the food and market had always been a pleasant experience. Despite how delicious the food is, I will not be going back ever and will be telling everyone to stay away. There are plenty of other markets just like Primo in town. Who needs this kind of headache.

Delicious tacos from the market. Havent been back to California in 4+yrs, and this is just what I needed. Not a big fan of the fish tacos though, not bad, just not for me. Salsa was also good. Oh, did I mention that tacos are 99Cent?

I really like their grilled beef, pork and baby back ribs. Been coming here for the past 14 years. I remember when their beef ribs use to be dry but over the past 3 years or so theyve become pretty juicy. Their pork ribs are thick and juicy. Their chicken is usually good. Their homemade guacamole and green salsa/sauce are great. Not huge selection of beer, l prefer local craft beer. They do sell all the popular domestic and import beers.

Excellent Mexican foods store! They have an excellent butcher counter. Their prepared foods are wonderful. In addition to the hot food items, they have a good selection of excellent salsas. Im always going there for fresh salsa! Their produce is very good quality and the prices are good. Whether picking up prepared items or filling a shopping list, its a one stop shop for food and drinks for any meal.

Come here for their marinated meats!! We usually get he marinated pork and chicken. The chicken is a bit more pricier than other Mexican markets but itโ€™s so good. The pork is good too. We grill at home and make tacos. They have good salsa and gauc as well. The fruit selection is very affordable, just look for the good ones!

Been coming here for the last 15 years. While the parking may be interesting, the tacos are worth the risk of a scratch. Not only do they offer 69 cent tacos on Tuesday but Friday also which can make for a cheap dinner. Definitely must try their BBQ too and its cooked daily. Also, cant find any better place to get a breakfast burrito for 3 bucks.

Excellent street tacos and other pseudo Mexican goodies served inside a great little market for takeout. Any taco is 69ยข on Tuesdays and Fridays. Chicken tacos Wednesday and fish tacos Thursday are also 69ยข as of May 2019. Just do it!

Review โ„–79

Newly reorganized inside the store with better traffic flow and sight lines; feels more open and spacious. So popular on Taco Tues and Friday but busy at lunch time any day at the take out counter in the back next to the fresh meat counter. Usually great prices on many items outside the front of the store in the bulk displays but inspect the produce carefully for old, mushy, wrinkled, nearly rotten items.

Terrific Mexican market! Known by the locals as one of the primary spots for Mexican food and produce, they do a remarkable job to keep up with their reputation. The are even ambitious enough to make buffalo hot wings, which was even more surprising when i tasted how excellently made they were. But the main event this shop hosts is the 69 cent tacos on tuesdays and Fridays where they will clear most of their options for the day to keep up with the demand for budget-worthy and authentic street tacos of all types. Ive frequented here since I was a child and they are deserving of their business.

Review โ„–93

This place was in kind of a hard to find spot but once I got there I was pleasantly surprised.Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables outside and inside they have plenty of grocery shopping optionsTons of fresh made Mexican products. About six or seven different types of salsa and guacamole all fresh.They have Taco specials on Tuesdays and Fridays and its really busy. Probably because their tacos are so great. I was very impressed with the tacos and the speed of service and the price of course.If they had fresh horchata this place would be the best little Mexican place around. That is probably the only thing they are missing

Nice neighborhood market that carries all the basic groceries but also has a great BBQ counter and Mexican food. Taco Tuesdays and Fridays are popular due to 69 cent tacos. They fill them up with the meat of choice. Cooked ribs and chicken quarters for sale. Also for pick up with no wait are tamales, fresh salsas, guacamole, and sides. Friendly staff. Small parking lot can get hectic at peak times.

Their taco Tuesday/ Fridays are a hit or miss. Sometimes you get good meat and other you get fatty chunks and the *runs*. I STOPPED TAKING MY CHANCES WITH THEIR FOOD AFTER THE LAST TIME I GOT A BAD STOMACHACHE. Parking is horrible as well, but the thunder location is pretty bad too. I think its weird they dont offer money orders here or cash checks.
