El Potro: Reviews & Ratings
My favorite restaurant! They always have exactly what you want and need. Everything is fresh and made to order. Definitely our go-to spot for Sunday lunch!
Birilla Tacos are amazing , the caldo brings extra meat inside. The ladies are nice and attentive, familyoriented vibes.
Food was good and nice and hot... Enchilada plate with delicious and affordable. Service was prompt and friendly
Dear senior potro, God has blessed you with the ability to take ingredients and turn them into Mexican food from the heavens. Your wonderful waitress allowed me to create my own burrito. I was craving a California style burrito. (I know I'm in Texas) You, senior potro, nailed it. From the perfectly cooked meet, to the elegant salsa you have touched my heart. We shall see you soon.
Visited this place on a whim, ordered the birria tacos. They were really good, didn't need the consume, the tacos were very cheezy moist and packed with meat. Excellent service too, very clean place.
Excellent Mexican food in a comfortable, welcoming environment. Very pleasant staff. Clean and well-maintained.
THE BIRRIA TACOS ARE AMAZING. So is the charro beans, their breakfast plates, and the service! The vibe hit us wrong the first time, very empty place but omg the food is INCREDIBLE. Now the drinks- eh. And that's the only reason I took a star off. But we were looking for a local Mexican restaurant with birria tacos, and this place blew us away. Southside location, staff is sweet, great prices. The drinks- so they're not flexible on what they offer, you can only order what drinks are displayed on the menu which was a little odd. I wasn't a fan of the margaritas but the food is so dang good I wasn't even interested in a drink lol. This is a hidden gem! CHECK IT OUT!!
The food is very fresh and authentic. Loved the menudo and crispy tacos. The churro dessert came with a side of ice cream. Perfect Mexican meal.
Called to place an order for churros for pickup. The man on the phone was super nice and it was so easy. The churros were ready within 5 minutes and they tasted wonderful. If you want churros, come here!
The place is Clean, the staff is nice and well trained. No rattling empty cup wanting a refill and try to flag someone down, they are there to wait on you and make you feel welcomed and it shows. A concept that is becoming lost. The food was delicious and value priced. I had the #2 Diablo burrito with fajita meet and i am ashamed to admit that I ate it all. It is big and too much food for a lightweight eater luckily I'm no lightweight. For food that is delicious and done right with a waitress staff that waits on you, you must come here. I will be back soon
