" Had a very mixed experience here. The food was decent, but the service was a bit chaotic. We had to wait a lengthy amount of time before someone took our order. The food was tasty when it arrived though; the tacos were authentic and packed with flavor. Overall, I'd say it’s worth a visit, just be prepared for possible delays. " (*Curated Review*)

" I walked into Los Dos Potrillos with high expectations, and it did not disappoint. The menu features a variety of authentic Mexican dishes, and the handmade tortillas are simply the best I’ve ever had. The ambiance is welcoming, with vibrant decor that makes you feel like you're dining in a little piece of Mexico. I ordered the caldos that came with freshly made tortillas and my taste buds were delighted. 5 stars for both authenticity and flavor. The service was friendly too, but my drink took a while to arrive. Overall, I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Los Dos Potrillos many times and have recommended it to all of my friends. I appreciate the authentic ambiance, the food never disappoints, especially their tacos and burritos. On a recent visit, I tried the carne asada burrito, and it might just be the best I’ve ever had! The flavor was incredible. Overall, the staff were friendly, and though it was busy, they made sure my experience was enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been regulars at Los Dos Potrillos for years and have never been disappointed! From the very first bite of their delicious Diablo Shrimp to the last crunch of their fresh chips, everything tastes amazing. The margaritas are strong and refreshing. The staff is always friendly, and the ambiance is lively, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. I always recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Mexican food in Salinas. I'll keep coming back as long as they maintain their quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my last visit to Los Dos Potrillos did not live up to my expectations. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and while the presentation was excellent, the flavor was lacking. The chicken was a bit dry, and the salsa tasted a little too bland for my liking. The service was decent, but our waitress seemed overwhelmed during the rush. I think I’ll give it another shot on Taco Tuesday since I’ve heard such good things about those. Hopefully, next time will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Los Dos Potrillos last weekend, and it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, lively with mariachi music that added to the overall charm. I ordered their shrimp tacos and I must say, they were delightful. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the homemade tortillas made all the difference. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I can’t wait to return to try more dishes. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Salsa chips and their seafood tostada were a taste of heaven! So fresh and flavorful, simply delightful. Every bite transported me straight to the streets of Mexico. However, the service left something to be desired, as we had to wait a while for our waitress to come by for orders. Nevertheless, the food is worth the wait. A hidden gem I will certainly come back to! " (*Curated Review*)
