Primos Mexican Food

You can't go wrong with there breakfast burrito. I cut in half and made two meals out of it.

Sadly not what it used to be. Been in Rancho Bernardo for a while and Primos was a convenient spot to pick up a breakfast burrito or something else. Since last year I've noticed prices have gone up and quality has gone down. A Jr. burrito used to be $8.50 back in 2021, now it's $12 base and only for a couple burritos on the menu. I usually get the Cali Surf and back then a monster Cali Surf was $15-$16. Now it's $20+. The tortilla is heavy as in very bread like and doesn't have flavor or absorb the flavors inside the burrito. The seasoning or flavors in the burrito just don't hit anymore. I had $11 breakfast burrito from a small place a bit north and it was way way better than what I've gotten here. If you get here after 10:30 AM, you may expext waits of 20 minutes or more. Longest I've had was 35+ minutes. The inside is nice but I never see it packed. It's not only the inflation on food ingredients, it's probably the rent on the building too.

Excellent taco shop option for the rancho bernardo area where mexican food can usually be pretty scarce to find.

Honestly...not the best Rancho Bernardo has to offer for Mexican food. I'm giving it a 2 cause the food was edible and the Jamica was good but otherwise I would steer clear ...there is a Roberto's less than a 1 min walk north from here. Definitely more authentic Mex than Primos. This was my carne "Torta" for $15.00!!! SMH. Edible with what little meat they gave me on a sub roll. no cotija chz. More of an American take on a Torta. Not that great at all. But...I was hungry. Won't be going back.

Good monster/mission style burritos. Can be a bit on the high side in price as burritos run $9-11 each as of December 2018. It is a local chain so multiple stores around. They also are part of the miles dining program so if registered you get airlines miles when eating here. The stores are usually clean and food prep doesn't take to long. I eat here 2 or 3 times a month so it's worth a stop.

The food is sometimes good, but usually not great. The prices are too high, it's usually not a good value. Taco Tuesday seems to be the exception here, they have good carnitas and carne asada tacos for a decent price on Tuesday. I like their chips and salsa. I only come here on Tuesdays and only for tacos.
