El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Delicious and great portions! Its also decorated so nicely!
What do you get when you combine good food, great atmosphere and phenomenal hospitality??? El Potro! This Mexican restaurant hit all the right vibes. Focussing on fresh ingredients and traditional Mexican flavors. Some of our favorite bites were the queso and mole enchiladas! I loved the margaritas made with house made margarita mix. Even the decor is all sourced right from Mexico. We most definitely will be back and I encourage anyone reading this review to check them out!
Excellent Mexican food and extremely friendly and attentive staff! Great frozen margaritas! Highly recommend!!
Family style Mexican food, beautiful handmade decor from Mexica makes you feel at home. The Queso Blanco is a must!
Delicious Mexican food with lots of Veggie options. The food takes a bit to prepare, so I would plan out ample time to spend here so you're not rushed!
Normally I don’t get crazy excited about Mexican food, but El Potro changed my mind about that. This by far has been my best experience with Mexican food in Boston, and I’d recommend El Potro to anyone craving the Mexican comfort food and comfort vibes! Even the refried beans (I normally order all rice) were tasty and not mushy at all. What we ordered: Guacamole: solid guac, no complaints. They give a lot too Tamale: presented beautifully and was delicious, packed with pork and topped with a hot sauce. Chile Relleno: bell pepper stuffed with very juicy carnitas and topped with a nice portion of melted cheese, not skimpy but not too overwhelming. This was my boyfriend's and my favorite dish! Enchilada Trio: 3 shredded beef enchiladas with green, red, and mole sauce. Their mole uses a semisweet chocolate (rather than the bitter dark you find at most restaurants that I don't like), this was a surprising hit for me! The red sauce one was my favorite. We had Churros and Fried Ice Cream for dessert, and the fried ice cream was HUGE. I wouldn't have been able to finish it myself.
Great no-frills spot with good food and great service. Very chill outdoor patio. The servers were all very warm, friendly, and accommodating. My wife's veggie fajitas were too oily, but overall tasty and filling. My pollo asado was well cooked, grilled nicely, not dry, and good. We definitely will come again!
The prices are a little high in my opinion but the food was very good. The service was very good as well.
