Inspiration for Primo comes from the love for food, ancient spirits, local crafts and rustic cooking. Trying to recreate in a small outdoor space under a beautiful tree, the essence from original Playa del Carmen and bring an authentic Mexican food where everything is cooked with wood fire, underground oven, comales and grill, as has been done traditionally in most Mexican small towns for centuries. Primo means cousin in spanish, as a common slogan in Mexico we say Primo to refer to really close friends, the ones that may be closer than family. Our intention with this name is that guests feel the confort of gathering in a place that will taste and feel like home as we do. We have developed the interior design with locally made tzalam wood furniture, bejuco lamps and a chukum finish for the walls. We pride ourselves of using local and sustainable suppliers for most of our ingredients.

    Bad service. Overpriced. Waited 20 mins for bat drinks while not busy. Shrimp appetizer was mushy unappealing and expensive. Let.before having entree. Tourist trap. Save your time and money.

    Everything was great. Food and service was lovely. The one thing is that they need seats with backs as an option. I know it’s picky but this is an issue for some people.

    Muy buena experiencia. De primero, el tuétano, espectacular; coliflor rostizada muy rica; finalmente, pork belly, muy bueno aunque los otros dos eran superiores. Los cócteles, un margarita ahumado y otro de mezcal, aperol y mango, sobresalientes. No es barato pero la calidad merece la pena. Muy buen restaurante, un mexicano diferente. Enhorabuena!

    Nous avons passé une bonne soirée avec des amis. La qualité de la nourriture était au rendez-vous, tout était savoureux et bien présenté. Cependant, le service était un peu long. J’ai dû demander plusieurs fois la carte des boissons, et le serveur ne passait pas régulièrement pour vérifier si nous avions besoin de quelque chose. C’est dommage, car avec un service plus attentif, l’expérience aurait été parfaite.

    Food is always excellent. I like their new location. The only complaint is that they are not attentive to drinks whether it was at their new or old location. .You have to make an effort to get a second drink.
