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.

    The place was amazing! Must go! But they have times that they serve food only.. lunch (11am- 5pm) and dinner (7pm-10pm)… so our reservation (4:30pm) came without us being able to place an order to eat after having a drink since we were in the grace period of lunch and dinner.. was unfortunate that no where did it state when I made my reservation that we wouldn’t be able to eat at that time.. also when we got there.. they had no idea of my reservation..

    This was our 3rd visit to KOBMA. Every year we visit playa for the thanksgiving holiday and we keep coming back to enjoy the yummy eats and delicious drinks. The service is great. The place although cozy is very aesthetically pleasing.our faves are the dumplings and spicy edamame. We decided to try their sushi rolls and we were pleasantly surprised very fresh and tasty. The kids had the Japanese fried chicken which was phenomenal. Our goal is to keep coming back every year to try a different item on the menu but it’s hard to pass up those yummy starters. We walked away very satisfied and with our bellies full. Will definitely return.

    Amazing food! Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. The ambience was so much fun with excellent live music right in the restaurant plus people watching right on the Avenida. We got to see some live dancing and street performers - all of this on a Wednesday night. We will definitely return!
