   Truly an outstanding dining experience. Our server was fantastic & made wonderful recommendations. The cocktails were excellent & the bartender came over to check on us periodically. An absolute gem of a restaurant.

   Comida excelente, el concepto es muy bueno, pero hay un aspecto negativo; el tiempo de espera entre cada platillo es demasiado; comprendo que es parte de la experiencia, ver cómo preparan tu comida, el exquisito olor de las brasas, la variedad de ingredientes y la frescura de los mismos, pero si es un tanto frustrante esperar tanto, si pudieran mejorar ese aspecto sería excelente, la comida es estupenda, cuidando cada detalle, sabores bien equilibrados y gran presentación, muy recomendable pero hay que ir con paciencia.

   We have been two weeks so far in Playa del Carmen and this has been so far the best place we have eaten so far! The food was much more superior compared to other often “premium” restaurants on the 5th Avenue. Everything we tried, from the aquachile, brisket, bone marrow, shrimp their special pork chop with a peanut sauce, could not find a fault. Fantastic ambience with an open fire kitchen, this is a must in Playa. Also the service was impecable and definetely listen to their reccomendations!!

   IMO Primo proves to be one of the best restaurants in the entire city with its creative menu and delicious food. I visit Playa several times a year and Primo is always on my itinerary. Don't miss this one!!

    Always awesome. Never had a bad meal there. Food is excellent. And Charlie was a great server. Our party of six all loved everything they got. Bone marrow, melon salad, tuna apps and brisket, duck, and catch of the day entrees. The catch of the day portion was just a bit on the small side. But, it was delicious.

    So precious and super delicious! The server was great with the recommendations. We loved the cauliflower! The pork belly was over cooked but we saw other ppls go out looking much juicier so I think we just got unlucky. He recommended the bone marrow with the brisket and it was delicious. The chocolate dessert was just fine. The berry tamale was inventive and good. They said they don’t really do much cocktail wise and recommended wine so we had a good rose from Mexico we enjoyed trying. Def def go here and book in advance(like a week in most cases)

    Wow, no words can't express the experience my partner and I had, everyone there is so welcoming and Charley was Jn charge of our table, he's very professional, friendly, helpful, and fun. The kitchen is open and so lovely to see the chefs and everyone in the kitchen and bar working together, the food was outstanding wow one of the best food we had in our life. We had a seasonal salad, an interesting combination and delicious, bone marrow wow the best I ever had, the amount you get it was shocking, barbacoa amazing and duck it was shockingly delicious! Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures because we were so present enjoying the experience and the food🤤😁🙏 Can't wait to go back, the area is nice, the restaurant is outside and fun! The drinks were delicious as well! Is a must-go-to place!!!

    Quaint little spot, it’s actually genius- minimum design but very cozy and almost “trendy”. It’s completely outdoors, the open kitchen is the center of the restaurant with a tiny bar without seating. Seems there is one guy running the show, the host and only waiter. The service was friendly but very slow, they are super busy every night. The food was one of the best we had in Playa, don’t skip the pork belly! I feel like the selections are best of shared like small plates. We will def be going back for more!

    Everything was delicious! I highly recommend you try this spot. My photos are not the best quality but you get the idea. I would highly suggest ordering a bunch of menu items and then sharing it with your table. The restaurant is a small outdoor spot on a corner of downtown Playa Del Carmen with a really cool open air kitchen. I am coming back in January to visit and will definitely be back.

    My husband and I stumbled across Primo while exploring Playa del Carmen on our honeymoon, and it quickly became our favorite eatery in the area without question. The skill and care taken in making the traditional Mexican and Yucatecan dishes here is outstanding, and it shows in the flavor and presentation of each dish. We’ve stopped in twice already during our week-long stay and hope to fit in one more visit before departure. HIGHLY recommend!

    Food was top-notch, even considering the price point which is a little high by local standards. Service was personal and efficient, plates came out fairly quickly. I was afraid the portion would be on the delicate side, but they turned out to be generous. The slow-cooked food is tasty and rich, maybe too rich for the ambient temperature if you are used to colder climate - you'll want to balance out with some lighter choices. It was intensely hot that evening and we were not served any water. Small detail but I thought this should have been automatic. Its a small restaurant open to the outside on a fairly busy street, depending on the time of day and the amount of traffic this could be an issue for some. Some of the plates, like the Ceviche, are pretty spicy and are not always identified as such. I love my food spicy but the 5 years old accompanying us had a bit of a surprise when he bit into his first serrano (or whatever what was). If you have a kid with you, ask, because they won't necessarily warn you. Overall very good experience and a step above anything that I've eaten in this area. Yes its "fine dining" but its a great mix of Mexican-inspired, slow-cooked comfort food. I would go again and bring friends (but try not to snack before).
