" El Potrillo did not meet my expectations. The food was bland, and I found the service lacking; the staff seemed overwhelmed. It felt more like a chain than an authentic Mexican restaurant. The environment was not too great either, as we were unable to hold a conversation due to the noise level. I may not return, as I was left feeling disappointed with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Potrillo is becoming one of my favorite places! The atmosphere is lively with colorful decor, making it feel like a joyful fiesta. The food quality is top-notch; I loved the fresh salsa and crunchy chips! Service is generally good, but occasionally they seem a bit overwhelmed during busy hours. I might have to try their margaritas next time; they looked amazing. Overall, I highly recommend visiting if you want great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

I will definitely be spreading the word about El Potrillo to all my friends and family, and I'm sure we'll be back soon. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Been wanting to visit El Potrillo for a while now since I heard great things about their food and atmosphere. I finally had the chance to go, and it was worth the wait! The enchiladas were delicious, and the guacamole was made fresh to order! My favorite part was the homemade tortillas; they were a game changer! On another note, it did take a bit longer than I expected to get served, but once the food came, it was quite fulfilling. All in all, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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!
