" I had high expectations for El Potro given its reviews and was somewhat let down. While the service was friendly and quick, the food didn't seem as authentic as advertised. The burrito I ordered was filled with ingredients that tasted somewhat processed, which didn't sit well with my preference for home-style cooking. The environment was lively, though, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. Perhaps I just made an unlucky choice on my first visit, but I may not rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my son's birthday at El Potro, and what a fantastic choice! The food was superb—we ordered a variety of dishes to share, including enchiladas and fajitas. The portions were generous, and every item tasted fresh and flavorful. The service was exceptional; our waiter ensured we had everything we needed and even brought out a complimentary dessert for my son. The potential downside might be the wait time on weekends, but trust me, it's worth it. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, don't hesitate to pay them a visit! Highly recommend the grilled shrimp tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a pleasant surprise! El Potro has become my go-to for Mexican food since moving here. The atmosphere is casual, making it a comfortable spot for family dinners. I usually get the fajitas, which come out sizzling and full of flavor. My husband swears by their carne asada. The only minor thing is the lack of outdoor seating when it's crowded inside, but the service always makes up for it. Definitely coming back to try more dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Potro, I'm reminded why it's my favorite spot for Mexican cuisine. The tacos are incredible; they remind me of the street tacos back in Mexico! The service is attentive, and I've never had to wait long for my food. I recommend trying their horchata—it pairs perfectly with the spicy dishes. The only drawback is that it can be a bit noisy when they get busy, but the atmosphere is vibrant and full of life. Overall, this place ticks all the boxes for a great dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Mexican food, but it fell short on authenticity when compared to other places I've visited in the past. The burrito was okay, but it lacked the seasoning I'd expect from traditional Mexican cuisine. Service was fine, and the atmosphere was lively, though. I’d probably go back if I was in the area, but wouldn’t prioritize it over other options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potro blew my mind! I ordered their steak tacos and they were bursting with flavor. Honestly, they tasted so fresh, almost like they were made in someone's kitchen rather than a restaurant. The service was wonderful, with our waiter being attentive but not intrusive. The only downside for me was the tight seating; it can get cramped, especially during busy hours. Regardless, I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance was festive and complemented by the friendly staff. I ordered the chicken fajitas and was delighted by the presentation and flavor. The only small issue was the salsa that came with the chips, which was a tad too mild for my preference, but nothing that adding some hot sauce couldn’t fix. Overall, a great experience and perfect for family gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
