This is my go-to place when I get a craving for excellent Mexican food! I've never had to wait to be seated. It feels like a cute hidden gem. The staff has always been kind, professional, and attentive. They have a large variety, and everything I've tried has been delicious! I also love their Friday buffet! I highly recommend El Potro Mexican Restaurant if you're looking for a clean, family-friendly, casual restaurant with very affordable prices. On my last visit (Sat. 3/1/25), two of us ate heartily for under 40 and still had leftovers to take home for another meal. In today's day and time, that's a huge bargain!

Was greeted by Fernando as the host, and Angela was my server. Both were pleasant and friendly in speaking with. El Potro has been a favorite Mexican restaurant of mine for many years. Cozy private booths, ambient Mexican music. Buffet hours are: Friday 11-9, Sat. & Sun 11-3. Food is always very tasty, and authentic Mexican dishes. I had the Texan Fajitas, combination of chicken, beef, shrimp, choice of flour or corn tortillas. Along with a frozen mango margarita, which Angela suggested and was very tasty. The atmosphere is of a real Mexican restaurant, as compared to larger Mexican chain establishments. A wonderful meal, and experience. I recommend for great tasting food, come here.

Y’all want real Mexican food? Come here! The food was super delicious and tasted very authentic! Our waiter was really nice, he greeted & served us immediately. Chips & salsa queso was good. I had the Guadalajara which came with carne asada & sauteed shrimp. Really full of flavor and tender. The rice was super yummy too! It reminded me of my grandmother’s that’s how I know it’s authentic. Definitely recommend
