Amazing food. Great price. Always busy but always attentive. Taco’s are 1.50 on Tuesday and Thursday. Avoid the cresthill location . I was over charged $30 and they refused to give me a receipt. I will stick to Joliet location.

After a quick Yelp search for Mexican food near Crest Hill, it revealed Primo's. We found the food was delicious, we just felt out of place. We were the only Gringos in there on a busy Monday lunch crowd. The waitress wasn't too personable, she dropped...Read More

All of the food has such a strange taste to it, horchata is way off you should be ashamed of that, and it doesn't help that the waitresses can't for the life of them understand what anyone says in either English or Spanish.
