" This was a delightful dining experience! The carne asada was incredibly tender and flavor-packed. I also loved the guacamole, which was fresh and creamy — a must-have! The atmosphere was family-friendly, lively, and vibrant. Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly. However, I thought the prices were a bit on the high side. Still, I'd gladly recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was disappointing for the most part. While the environment was lovely, the food fell short. I ordered the quesadilla, and it was mostly cheese with very little filling. Service was kind but not very attentive. I left feeling unsatisfied, and I don’t think I’ll be returning soon. Perhaps others have had different experiences, but mine just wasn't great. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! So much flavor and so many options! The menu is extensive, making it hard to choose just one thing. I went with a classic, the tacos al pastor, and it did not disappoint! Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and I genuinely appreciate that. The service was decent, but the food truly stood out and made the whole evening memorable. Will definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try El Potro since I've heard great things. The interior is bright and colorful, giving off a great vibe. Unfortunately, my order arrived a bit cold. However, the flavors were still impressive. I sampled a few dishes, but none stood out as extraordinary. I would return to try some different items, but it wasn’t a stellar experience this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, the food at El Potro blew me away! From the moment we walked in, the colorful decor set the perfect atmosphere for a great meal. I ordered the tamales, and they were made from scratch, bursting with flavor! The salsa was also a standout. My only gripe was waiting a bit too long for refills but given the food quality, I didn’t mind as much. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday at El Potro and was not disappointed! The staff were so accommodating, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in on our table frequently. I had the combination plate, and everything was cooked to perfection. The environment was fun, with lively music and beautiful decor. This place has now become a birthday favorite for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited El Potro for the first time after hearing rave reviews. The interiors are colorful, creating a great environment. I enjoyed the carne asada, however it was a bit oily for my taste. The chips and salsa were some of the best I've had! Service was attentive, but they could use a few more hands on busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)
