Good food ☺️ love it ????, there is one thing that could help keep the place clean and smile more people working in there looks like they are sad or doing like "I have to but don like it", the food is really good love it it's interesting how one thing can put make the best experience this is not for bothering but once the people see how the tables and seats are clean the fountain drinks are clean and nice could be more glad to be back ☺️

I have lived by this location for years and never stopped in until my Friend brought me in. Had no expectations and was completely floored after the first bite. Flavors are amazing. Definitely planning to come back.

The rations they pick up with their tongs are ridiculous but they somehow manage to flatten it out & decorate the meat of your choice to disguise it with more lettuce, diced Tom's & very very little cheese to make it appear like your really getting a full something. For the money? Go to your favorite Mexican hole in the wall where always seem to get more than enough & less cost. And the set up design inside has the drink station completely on the other side of ordering food. Not impressed. I have a disability with walking so it was A Chore to walk to get my drink. Las Primas is really one of the best Authentic Mexican food restaurants on 17th, besides Playa Mesa. To me, this is fancy, fast food. Others love it. I prefer Real food & my money's worth.
