" Fantastic spot for authentic Mexican cuisine! I’ve been eating here for years and the quality has been consistently amazing. The tamales are a must-try. They are packed with flavor and are well worth the price. The staff is friendly and never makes you feel rushed. If you enjoy spicy food, the salsa here has the perfect kick! Can’t recommend this place enough for anyone craving good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot of great feedback about El Potro, I decided to visit, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The staff was warm and welcoming, making sure my drink was never empty. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious—the chicken was tender and packed with flavor. The only downside was that the salsa was a bit watery; I prefer a thicker salsa with more body. Nonetheless, this is definitely somewhere I would recommend to friends and family without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here after a long day of shopping in the area. Potentially one of the best decisions I made! The lunch specials are fantastic value, and my shrimp fajitas were delicious. The portion was generous but not overwhelming. I also loved their margaritas; just the right amount of sweetness. It was quite busy, but the staff handled the rush well. El Potro is definitely a place I will revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried El Potro for the first time and it was a mixed experience for me. I can appreciate the friendly service, but I found the food lacking in flavor. My burrito was decent; however, it felt like it could have used some more seasoning. I expected more spice given their reputation for authentic dishes. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff seemed genuinely attentive. I might give it another try, as I want to explore more on their menu, but I wasn't blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience was pleasant. The food wasn’t bad, but it lacked the punch I was looking for in authentic Mexican cuisine. The salsas were decent but seemed a bit commercial rather than homemade, and the service was attentive but not particularly engaging. I did enjoy my steak burrito, but similar dishes I've had at other places just felt more authentic and flavorful. Probably wouldn't come back regularly, though it’s a solid choice if you’re in the mood for something familiar. " (*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*)
