There’s nothing quite like great food or a good drink. But when you bring them together in just the right pairing, that’s magic. When you visit Los Primos for Mexican food in NH, you spend most of your time perusing the menu, thinking about what you’re going to eat, and understandably so. But your beverage choice shouldn’t be an afterthought, especially when you’re at a restaurant like Los Primos. Our hand-crafted cocktails—including our famous Margarita Towers—deserve to be part of the meal selection process, perhaps even the starting point.
Make the best Mexican food in NH even better with the right drink pairing! Here are some of our favorite food and beverage pairings.
Classic Margarita Pairings
Traditional Lime Margarita and Tacos
The obvious place to start is the classic lime margarita, which is our favorite cocktail to enjoy with tacos. The bright citrus notes perfectly complement grilled meats, whether you prefer carne asada, carnitas, or pollo tacos. If you’re looking for a classic, no-frills choice, you can’t go wrong with a traditional margarita and your favorite tacos.
Flavored Margaritas and Fajitas
Sizzling fajitas call for a little something extra, and a strawberry or tropical margarita fits the bill. The extra sweetness balances the char and spice of steak, chicken, or shrimp fajitas. If you want to stick with a more traditional pairing but with a little extra sizzle (pun intended), a flavored margarita and fajitas are the way to go.
Spicy Margarita and Enchiladas
If you really want to kick things up a notch, you want a spicy margarita and red sauce enchiladas. A jalapeño-infused margarita is spicy and refreshing at the same time, amplifying the bold flavors of red enchilada sauce. If you want a food and drink combo that doesn’t hold back, we can’t think of a better choice.
Beer Pairings for Mexican Favorites
More of a beer drinker? We have you covered. For a classic Tex-Mex pairing, try a Mexican lager and a chimichanga. The deep-fried chimichanga can be a little heavy, and crisp lager cuts through the fried textures. They strike the perfect balance of back-and-forth without competing with each other.
Paloma and Seafood
For the seafood lovers at the table, a paloma is the perfect drink. Grapefruit brings a bright sweetness to the drink that highlights the flavors of seafood, especially shrimp. If you usually reach for a margarita with your Mexican food, a paloma is the perfect alternative if you want to try something new.
Non-Alcoholic Pairings
Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about our patrons who prefer non-alcoholic beverages. For diners who love our spicier dishes, the creamy sweetness of horchata offers the perfect balance. If you want something light and crisp, a fresh lime agua fresca is the ideal complement to grilled dishes.
