Some of the food is ok. Other dishes are are amazing. I get something different Everytime I go. The guacamole is excellent and the chicken is always too. Food is served FAST and you get a complimentary bowl of chips and salsa. Definitely ask for the queso!!!

This was truly the worst Mexican dish I ever tried in my life. My family grew up in Colorado, so Mexican cuisine has always been our favorite. The burrito pollo was overcooked and each chicken strip was rubbery and inedible. The cheese sauce was overwhelming and made the burrito taste super salty and soggy. At $31 for 2 burritos, I was expecting a delicious feast. My husband said he rather have ordered Chipotle - which we know is the most Americanized version, not even close to real Mexican food, which says a lot.

Ordered for the first time online. I got the chimichangas. I have never seen it look almost like a burrito soup. I am glad I ordered “crispy” because I would hate to see their version of “soft”
There is zero texture to this meal. Taco Bell has better food than this.
Steak in Taco Asada was hard as if it was old or lower quality.
Margarita was tasty. Happy Hour $8.99 bogo. Menu shows price $6.99.
$8.99 reasonable for 2.

We visited for the first time and the food was delicious! Our meals, all 5, came out quickly. Hot and fresh and with no issues. Anything extra we needed as well as drink refills were taken care of quickly.
The small downside was the cheese dip was a little spicy and super thick. It's a great size. I just wish it had been a little more creamy. But it still got eaten,lol.
We will be back in the future. This restaurant is worth visiting if you're in the Apoka area.

First time here and we thought the food and service was great! All our meals(5) came out hot and fresh and no issues. Anything extra we needed was brought out with no issues. Waitress was sweet and kind.
Small downside was the cheese dip. It was a little more on the spicy side and super thick. It still got ate but that's the only thing I can think of that could be a little better.
I recommend eating here. Give it a shot.

My husband and I are new to the area and El Potro has the FASTEST service of anywhere we've been to around here. The chips and salsa come out within 10 seconds of being seated every time you go, and when you come starving it really hits the spot.
I usually order the cartoonishly large margarita with jalapeños added. It lasts me the entire meal and it's so good.
I've had about 5 meals from here by now and they have all been delicious - the only one that left a lot to be desired was the "shrimp salad". Really it was just shrimp with toppings (lettuce, tomato, guac, etc). Their burritos are huge and delicious, and their fajitas come out perfectly seasoned.
Since we live 7 minutes away, we will be back. A lot.
