" This was my husband's and my first visit to El Potro, and we were not disappointed! They serve a great taco platter that is well-seasoned and comes with a refreshing side of beans and rice. The restaurant was quite busy, but our server was prompt and friendly. We couldn’t finish all the food; their plates are HUGE! We will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is definitely worth a visit! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of the food. Everything tasted fresh, especially the ceviche. It's a bit quieter during the week, which is nice for a relaxed meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at El Potro was below expectations. The food lacked depth in flavor, especially in the sauces. It's apparent they cater to a more mainstream palate. The service was decent, but overall I was disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here a couple of times, and while it’s not my first choice for Mexican cuisine, it’s reliable. The food is decent and the service is friendly. A great choice if you need something fast and filling, but if you’re looking for authenticity, you might find it lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great family dinner here last night! The service was exceptionally quick, and the food came out hot and delicious. Kids enjoyed their meals, and I loved the fajitas. Looking forward to making this an occasional family tradition. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of food at El Potro was surprising in the best way! I had the elote, which was fantastic, and the tacos were a solid choice, too. It really felt authentic, and I plan to return often. My new favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wasn't impressed. The food lacked flavor in my opinion. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and I found them bland. Service was adequate, but I expected a bit more in terms of engagement. I don’t think I’ll be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)
