What can I say about this place, besides, Awesome! I was reluctant to leave a review for fear of giving up this hidden treasure. There isn’t anything this place serves that isn’t top notch. I just hope I can get back there soon and enjoy their food. They also have an outdoor dining area that is very nice to sit outside and enjoy the meals. I ate my food so quickly I didn’t get pictures. Trust me, you’ll love it, pictures or not.
Excellent Mexican food impressed (and kind of surprised) this Texan. Sizzling carne asado was delicious and moist. Really good guacamole, properly hot red salsa. Margaritas were tasty, tart and decently strong (no chartreuse-colored fake limeade mix here). Excellent corn tortillas, the real deal. Too bad we're just passing through. We'd be back!
We originally came down this way to see the Christmas lights at Callaway Gardens, and after asking a few locals where to eat, everyone pointed us to El Primo Mexican Restaurant. Let me just say — I am SO glad we listened. It’s about 7 miles down the road in Hamilton, a place we’d never been to and didn’t know much about. The storefront is simple and unassuming, but the moment you walk in, it’s warm, welcoming, and inviting — the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. We ordered beers, I had a premium skinny margarita with a Tajín rim (chef’s kiss 🤌🏽), and we shared the combination fajitas. And the food… WOW. The food is freaking amazing. No really — the food is freaking amazing. Let me say it one more time — the food is freaking amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was awesome — friendly, attentive, and genuine without being over-the-top. This is not a fussy, pretentious spot — it’s just really, really good food, great drinks, and excellent service. We live in Atlanta, but honestly? I would drive out here just to eat at El Primo. It’s that good. If you’re anywhere near Callaway or passing through Hamilton, this place is an absolute must-stop. You want good Mexican food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere? El Primo is it. 🌮🍹🔥
