Review by Lenora Halvorson

September 15, 2024

I recently visited Primos Mexican Food & Cantina in Riverside, and overall, it was a decent experience! 🌮 I decided to try the vegetarian burrito, and it was bursting with flavor - the fresh ingredients really stood out.

They offer a great Taco Tuesday special that’s hard to beat in value. The staff were friendly too, making the atmosphere quite welcoming!

However, I did notice that some dishes had a frozen taste, which was a little disappointing.

For a quick bite or casual dining, it's a solid choice - just don’t expect a full cantina experience! 😊
