El Potosino Mexican Food

We pulled into the drive-thru around 9:50 p.m., well before closing, thinking we’d grab a decent late dinner. According to their site and Google, they were open until midnight. NOT!! The menu looked alright—but what we got was an absolute letdown across the board. First of all, my sister’s tacos came out with tortillas so dry and stiff they practically snapped in half. They tasted like they’d been sitting out under a heat lamp for hours. We asked the employee what happened, and they casually claimed, “Oh, we never let anything sit out.” That’s either a lie or they’ve forgotten what fresh food actually looks and tastes like. Then there were the chips and “guacamole.” And I use that word loosely, because what we received was basically a watery, neon-green sauce pretending to be guac. It was unappetizing, flavorless, and honestly kind of insulting. We couldn’t even eat it. To make things worse, everything was smothered in shredded cheddar cheese. Why? No idea. It was unnecessary, overpowering, and felt like a lazy attempt to mask how bland everything else was. My burrito? Technically edible, but only because I was starving. It had no flavor, no depth—just a mushy, sad mess of ingredients with zero balance. The rice and beans were fine, but nothing special—you could get better at a gas station taqueria. Even the horchata, which should have been a safe bet, was watery and forgettable. Around here, there are countless spots that do it 10x better without even trying. We paid $45 for a meal that was mostly uneaten. That’s not just a disappointment—it’s a rip-off. Do yourself a favor: skip this place entirely. There are way too many incredible restaurants nearby to waste your time and money here. Honestly, just go to Chipotle. At least you know what you’re getting—and it won’t taste like reheated leftovers with a handful of cheddar on top.

Never open! I have lived on this side of town for 4 years. 70% of the time they have a traffic cone in the morning or do not answer at night

Food is good and fast. The employees children watching cartoons on a tablet was really loud. Should have done the drive thru.

Burrito at 1 am and still the quality you would expect during peak lunch hour

Fantastic food and a good sized portion. It feels like a fast food place from the outside but the food was in no way comparable to a typical fast food Mexican spot. Extremely good!

Everyone told me you were good bad service not happy first time don't think all go back

This is a cheap local spot that I love. The food is pretty damn good and consistent. They treat me well and the food is ready fast. I got a picture of the new menu with updated prices. Still cheaper than many other local places!

Thank you for letting me walk through the drive thru later in the evening beyond your indoor hours. It means a lot to me that I can get the food I want to eat at a later time with no car to go through the drive thru. I loved my taco salad.

Today around 3PM my husband tried the ground beef burrito, and not too long after eating it, is now badly sick with food poisoning. Please be more mindful of the ingredients you are using in your food - we’ve eaten here before, but we’re not sure if we want to risk experiencing this ever again in the future. He feels horrible :(
