Primos Restaurant Review:


This restaurant in the fashionable Condesa neighborhood has black-and-white tile floors, wood café chairs with wicker seats and large picture windows that look onto a tree-lined street. The menu is composed of mostly European and Mediterranean specialties, including various tapas (from dried cured ham to marinated anchovies), a first-rate croque monsieur, grilled veggies, or an endive salad with Roquefort dressing. Those with heartier appetites can order steak frites, gnocchi in meat sauce or the fish of the day grilled with herbs. One of the best dishes at Primos is a novel version of a classic Guadalajara dish, the torta ahogada (“drowned sandwich”). It’s a sandwich served in a split roll, with a layer of refried beans and sautéed onions, drenched in a spicy tomato sauce. Traditionally it is made with chopped pork, but here they substitute sliced duck, with satisfying results. There is an international wine list with reasonable prices.
