" If you're craving authentic Mexican flavors, look no further than El Potro. The tacos were delightful, stuffed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. That said, I felt that the rice portion was a bit lacking. I also noticed that the service could be faster, but overall, it's a solid experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potro offers an authentic taste of Mexico that brings me back every time. The tamales here are a highlight, and the salsa is bursting with flavor. The service is usually prompt and friendly, although some visits have been slower than others. Still, it's one of my favorite spots for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for El Potro, I left feeling underwhelmed. The employees are friendly, but the food lacked the depth I was expecting. I tried the enchiladas, and they were decent but not something to rave about. The space is comfortable, though, so I'd consider another visit to see if there was an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The little details make a difference here. The chips served with the meal are crispy and add a nice crunch to the otherwise savory dishes. Everything was a delight, from the enchiladas to the margaritas. The service is friendly, but they can improve on time management during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potro was a fantastic find! The flavors were so vibrant, especially the mole sauce on the enchiladas. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal, including the warm chips and salsa. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere felt like a family gathering. I highly recommend going there for a nice casual dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potro stands out in my mind for their outstanding tacos. The pork was incredibly tender, and the homemade salsa took everything up a notch. I've been there a few times, and I always leave satisfied. The staff is polite, but the food does take a while to come out, even at times when it is quiet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Potro for the first time and was blown away by the authenticity of the food! The carne asada was perfectly grilled and the guac had just the right amount of lime. The service was friendly and prompt, which made the dining experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
