" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience was underwhelming. The chips were stale, and my shrimp tacos lacked the zing I was hoping for. The service was friendly, but it took a long time to get my check. I might give it another try in the future since I see potential, but my first visit didn’t leave a strong impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about El Potro! The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by lively music and colorful decor. I ordered the chiles rellenos, and they were on point! The service was fast, and my waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks were strong, and I loved trying the different flavors of margaritas. It’s a great place for a night out with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish the food lived up to the hype. El Potro has wonderful decor and nice ambiance, but my carne asada was very greasy and not what I was expecting. The waitress was friendly, and the service was decent, but they could improve on food quality for sure. I might stop by just for drinks next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meal I had at El Potro was mediocre at best. The burrito I ordered was a bit bland and needed seasoning. The service was friendly, but I felt neglected several times when I needed something. The ambiance is terrific; it had good energy, but overall the food didn’t make the cut for me. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I probably won’t be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to check out El Potro, but it was a bit of a letdown. While the atmosphere was enjoyable, the food was overpriced for what you received. I ordered the tacos, which were nothing special. However, the drinks were top notch, strong, and refreshing. I think I came on a busier night, which may have contributed to my experience. " (*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*)
