Yes! Yes! Yes! - if you want great food and great service! Our server was the best - I believe his name was Carmelo (found it on the check), very quick, attentive and offered us various options on how we could order what we wanted. Food was delicious, especially chimichangas! Food was brought quickly, server often asked if we need chips refill or anything else! Not from the area and wish we had such a great food and service for the prices this restaurant charges!
Has some of the best Mexican food & prices in town. Friendly atmosphere with quick service. One of my favorite places in Meridian. First visit 20 yrs & food still fantastic! Everything’s good. Hard to say one thing is better than the other
I had the Primo Special for lunch. It was delicious. The chips and salsa were great as well (the sign of a great Mexican restaurant ). The restaurant was clean and appealing. My Alex was great and even sent me with a soda to go when he brought my bill. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

Hands down our fav restaurant in Meridian! It’s nice and clean with great atmosphere. Your order comes out so fast! The food is awesome, best chips & salsa ever had. But what really makes it great is its people. After being regulars for years, we moved away two years ago but stopped by recently and they were so happy to see us! Havi, the mgr, is the best as well as our waitress, sorry I can’t remember her name. They treat us like family and we highly recommend them.
We were in town for a theatre competition and needed a place that could take a large group. They were welcoming and friendly! Thank you for taking care of a bunch of hungry teenagers. Highly recommend.
