First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.
Lo mejor en el área no dudes de ir
The best. The food is fantastic and authentic. I have been coming here every year when in Chelsea since 2021 for either lunch or dinner. I have never been disappointed!! If in Chelsea, MA -- give it a try!!

El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill offers delicious Mexican food in a nicely decorated environment with furniture from Mexico. The salsa is spicy, while the guacamole is standard; however, the nachos and enchiladas tejanas are standouts, with each chip and enchilada loaded with toppings. The carnitas chimichanga and shrimp enchiladas come highly recommended, and the churros are a must-try dessert, served piping hot with a delightful strawberry flavor that pairs well with ice cream. The staff is friendly, passionate, and attentive, creating a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. The outdoor patio adds to the charm, making it a great spot to unwind. While the prices are reasonable, some diners feel they could be a bit high for what is offered, though portion sizes are very filling. Overall, El Potro is known for its fantastic and authentic food, making it a worthwhile visit in Chelsea, MA.
