In 2025, El Primo moved from Paddington to its new home on Crown Street. And it’s even more of a fiesta than before. Its new home makes you feel like drinking a Margarita, right now, is the only good idea in the world.

You’ll have five to choose from: classic, spicy and abstract takes. The Tropical Margarita (starring fresh mango, tajin and a mango and passionfruit puree) screams summer. So do the highballs. And the Banana Daiquiri. And the Horchata Colada slushies. And the Paloma.

But El Primo is also a tequila bar, and the agave affection is apparent. Before you get stuck into the hefty list, make sure you get a “tequila passport” – a personal logbook and boozy loyalty card, held by the bar on your behalf, containing your thoughts about every sip you try. You’ll unlock a new prize as you reach each milestone.

For food the menu keeps things short and snacky, with the likes of tostadas and cheeseburger tacos. Another highlight is the bookable four-person karaoke room. The booking fee is more like a down payment on food and drinks, to get stuck into once you’re done butchering a classic tune.
