Exceptional(145)
Price: Expensive
• Mexican • Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya
Booked 1 time today
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.

    10/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience in Every Way! Dining at Alux Restaurant is like stepping into another world—but what truly made our evening unforgettable was the exceptional service from Alexis. From the moment we arrived, Alexis treated us like VIPs. He was warm, knowledgeable, and made every part of our dining experience feel personal and seamless. His recommendations were spot-on—from the cocktails to the main course to dessert. We could tell he was genuinely passionate about the food, the ambiance, and ensuring we had a magical night. And speaking of magic—this restaurant is located in a real cave. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, with candlelit pathways, natural rock formations, and soft lighting that creates the most unique, romantic atmosphere you’ll ever find. It feels like dining in an ancient, sacred space—paired with five-star cuisine and world-class service. We came for the ambiance but will return for the incredible experience, thanks to Alexis and the amazing team at Alux. 10 out of 5 stars—hands down one of the best dining moments we’ve ever had!

    Excellent service and enough to return. Food is as close to authentic for a chain in PDC. Good adequate food but the exceptional service warrants another visit.
