• Mexican • Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya

Booked 2 times today

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.

Excellent service right from the greeting upon entering the restaurant. Overall good experience. Only negative was the music. Dubstep music playing too loud. Quiet Mexican music would be better for a class steakhouse.

Nothing short of sensational. In the heart of Playa Del Carmen, at Nicolette’s they welcome the energy of the street into the restaurant. The food was delicious, the wait staff was exceptional and experience was memorable. We only wish it had been someone’s birthday so we could experience the sparkling candles. Highly recommend.
