Editorial Review for Primo Patio Cafe – by Molly Watson
In Short
The tiny storefront hides a sheltered, heated patio that awaits diners in the back of this urban oasis. Outside, colorful table settings and sun umbrellas fill up quickly during brunch hours. Island music completes the mood as city folk fill up on Caribbean and American salads, sandwiches, grilled plates and egg dishes. The house specialty is the jerk chicken, washed down with a fresh mojito.

This place is the bomb! The food was DELICIOUS and the service was very friendly. The Jerked Chicken served with cumin rice and black beans was really good and the seasoning is unique and flavorful. And the fried plantains- soooo good. The red snapper and shrimp tostadas are considered a "tapas" item but they were definitely big enough to be a full meal. Huge portions of shrimp, snapper, lettuce, salsa and cheese cover crispy corn tortillas, very fresh taste with a bit of a kick. Our waiter was a total comedian, he had us laughing throughout our meal, and the owner was super friendly. This place isn't very noticeable from the street, but when you walk in, you feel like you've left the city. You walk through a narrow pathway that leads to a cute back patio decorated with Caribbean wall hangings and decore. There are tons of menu items to choose from, and breakfast is served all day. Food and beer prices are very reasonable, which is hard to come by in the city. It's a great place to kick back with some friends, enjoy a $3 Anchor Steam and chow down on generous portions of Caribbean style food at great prices.
Pros: Outdoor seating, generous portions, fun ambience
Cons: parking
