"This restaurant is seriously overlooked on Yelp. It may not be the absolute best Mexican food I've ever tasted, or even the best in Tacoma. But it is incredibly satisfying and I understand why."

I just wish they would stay open later! The restaurant is very spacious and can accommodate a large number of people, so we have never had to wait long for a table. The staff is friendly and...

"I really enjoy the food here. My family and I usually get the Cali bento, which has a good variety of food as well as a generous serving chicken katsu, chicken teriyaki, tempura veggies, rice, steamed cabbage, and California rolls. The California rolls are consistently not to our liking, but that's probably just us. Also, their spicy chicken teriyaki is pretty good. A bit on the sweeter side and not spicy enough for me, I'd say maybe 2 out of 5 on the spiciness.Otherwise, we really enjoy getting food their.Parking: The restaurant is located among several other businesses that share the lot. Getting in and out sucks and the parking can be sparse when the area is busy. Of course they can't control the parking situation. Just be aware if it is your first time there."

"From Maryland, where good food is easy to find, unlike Washington. With that out of the way, Primo's is about as good as your going to get. Food is excellent. Service is great and you don't have to worry about tipping (which is a backward culture anyway), since Primo's does an automatic surcharge. Whatever! You do you, Primo...I would classify Primo's as a neighborhood gem. You feel like a winner when you dine there. It took me long enough to find good food here in WA, and I'm thankful. We'll be back."

"This place was recommended by another restaurant staff at place we dine at quite a bit. Pretty good place to start for a recommendation. There’s only street side parking and that can be a little tough but it’s worth it. The service was great, friendly. The place is not small but close and cozy. The food varies with availability but it’s hard to imagine that they don’t make the best of what’s available on a weekly basis. We had the Mac and cheese gnocchi— fantastic! We also had a fresh beet and squash salad— great. Main courses of an earthy broth sturgeon dish and a parsnip dish with risotto. I know, parsnips, but it was really good. Good wine selection too."

"I used to come to this restaurant when I was younger and enjoyed it. It used to be the place to go. I last visited in 2016 until last night in June 2024. To my surprise, it looked exactly the same as before. Initially, I thought it was closed until I tried the door handle. The interior was still drab, dark, and depressing. There were only a few people working, with one waiter out of the three available taking 20 minutes to get our drinks after we sat down. He apologized and mentioned they were short-staffed, but it was unclear why no one else from the front came to assist. The food was the same with no new options. I am shocked that this restaurant is still in business, especially with a popular neighboring restaurant, Gauchos, which we frequent often. The waiter seemed frustrated and mentioned it was his last month due to the unfair treatment of employees, including taking a large percentage of their tips. This is unacceptable. A leadership makeover is necessary to save this establishment."
