" Wow! I had such a great experience at El Potrillo. The tacos were bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. I loved that the salsa had a nice kick to it; I'm always on the lookout for authentic Mexican flavors, and El Potrillo did not disappoint. The staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I recommend trying the quesadilla as well - it was by far the best I've had! I will definitely be returning soon.

" The dining experience at El Potrillo was everything I hoped for and more! The food was incredibly authentic, especially their mole - it was rich and absolutely delicious! We were seated quickly, and everything was served hot and fresh. I appreciated the casual atmosphere, perfect for families or gatherings. The portions were substantial, too, which is hard to come by these days. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a less than ideal experience the other night at El Potrillo. The food was decent - I mean, the carne asada itself was good, but the dish as a whole felt disjointed. The service seemed distracted, and I found myself waiting too long to be acknowledged. I understand that it was busy, but their attentiveness can use improvement. Overall, while I was not completely satisfied , I think there is potential; perhaps I’ll try again for lunch when it’s less hectic. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potrillo has certainly earned its reputation! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The food is crafted with love; I could taste the freshness in each bite. I would recommend their taco platter as it's not only delicious but also fulfilling. The only concern was that our waiter seemed a bit rushed, but overall, everything else was delightful! I'm planning to return soon to explore more of their tasty offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with friends at El Potrillo and was disappointed. The food was average, and the service was slow. I didn't feel the restaurant lived up to the hype. We waited over half an hour for our food despite it not being busy. The atmosphere was decent but not enough to elevate my overall experience. I might try again on a less busy night.

" If you're in the mood for Mexican food, I highly recommend El Potrillo! From start to finish, my experience was delightful. Their chicken enchiladas are spot on, and the service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is lively, yet comfortable - perfect for a night out with friends or family. While I wish the chips were a bit thicker, overall, I left very satisfied with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Potrillo for the first time, and it definitely won't be my last! The authentication is evident in every dish, and the flavors reflect traditional Mexican cuisine wonderfully. We shared a delicious variety of plates, and each one was packed with freshness. The only drawback was how busy it was - we had to wait for a table - but it was worth it. Excited to come back!
