" I went to El Potro for dinner and was pleased with the overall experience. The quesadillas were cheesy and had generous fillings. The environment was casual and welcoming, though a bit on the noisy side with a lively crowd. Service was quick, but it would be nice to have more servers during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potro is definitely a hidden gem! I stumbled across this restaurant by chance, and I'm so glad I did. The tacos were freshly prepared, and the homemade salsa had just the right kick to it. The atmosphere there is very laid-back, perfect for a casual dinner with friends. I appreciate how they actually serve authentic Mexican food instead of the typical American-style fare.
