" This was my first time at El Potro and, honestly, I was quite impressed! The restaurant had a cozy vibe with colorful decorations that gave a hint of the culture. I ordered a combo plate which had a little bit of everything. The flavors were on point, though I did find the beans a bit bland. The service was quick, but our server seemed a bit rushed, which was understandable given the lunch crowd. Overall, I would recommend it for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family here for dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised! From the friendly staff to the tasty dishes, everything went well. The portions were generous, which made it a good value overall. The kids loved the cheese quesadillas, I highly recommend this place for a family outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at El Potro was a success! The tamales were flavorful and the salsa had a good kick. Our server was attentive and checked in often. The place was clean and had a great vibe, perfect for a family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished my meal at El Potro and it was absolutely delightful! The chicken enchiladas were perfectly cooked and topped with a rich, zesty sauce. My partner enjoyed the shrimp tacos and couldn’t stop raving about the fresh ingredients. The service was equally impressive. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Potro, especially hearing that its food is authentic. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The fajitas were underwhelming and lacked the zest I look for in a Mexican dish. Service, however, was pleasant and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. I might give it another shot to see if maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but my first visit was a bit of a letdown. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the ambiance, my meal at El Potro was fairly disappointing. The food lacked the character I associate with authentic Mexican fare. However, the service was nice, and I enjoyed a decent margarita. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading so many positive reviews, I was excited to eat here, but my experience was mixed. The food presentation was fantastic, and the flavors were good, but the shrimp was overcooked. The manager graciously offered a discount, which I appreciated. I believe they may still be trying to perfect their offerings, but the potential is definitely there. I’ll give it another try soon because the rest of my meal was satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)
