I was craving authentic Mexican food, I was really disappointed. Food was cold, tamale tasted awful & cold, both tortillas for enchiladas and burrito were cold not even warmed up. The plate was hot and the sauce & cheese poured on top was hot. Maybe they thought a warm plate and hot sauce would warm up my food. The only good thing was the chips and my horchata.

This is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The service was beyond excellent our waiter, Rene, truly went above and beyond. He was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious, and the horchata was perfect. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!

We used to frequent El Potro because of the delicious food and fine service, however, on the evening of 28-FEB-2026 we encountered a different experience. My wife and were honoring the memory of our late niece, in an establishment where we had shared good times before she tragically passed. Everything was going well until we ordered guacamole without sour cream in it [how it is usually served here, for some odd reason], and because sour cream causes my wife severe gastric issues, quickly requiring a mop and bucket to clean up. We were served the guacamole by our lady server [a new gal, we had never encountered before] and were informed that it was made “special”, for us. We thanked her and tried it. Much to our horror, the guacamole tasted like a salt lick, as if it had been tainted with over 60 ml [4 table spoons] of salt. We caught her attention and informed her, asking her to sample it. She refused, insisting that it was made “special” for us. I politely informed her that we can no longer trust the establishment. She then offered to cancel our food orders. We agreed and offered to pay for our drinks. She reacted with surprise as we got up to depart, cowering that the drinks were “on the house”. Strangely, she never offered to allow us to speak to a manager and seemed quite horrified as we walked out. I don’t know what sort of game El Potro is playing but tainting food is a NO GO. Thanks for ruining our evening and dinner. I hope whomever tainted our guacamole DIAF and RIH. Don’t waste your efforts with disingenuous, insincere apologies. We’re not having it. You know what you did, YOU FAILED. We can no longer trust you. We’re done. I would have emailed management directly but the establishment’s website provides no email address. Left with no choice, I am making the situation known here. Now the internet gets to read about it. Sorry, not sorry.

Marco was lovely and super attentive!! The food was soooo tasty and came out quick and fresh. We never had to wait long for anything we ordered and Marco was always present if we did need something. He even brought us giant pencils and pens for our checks at the end of the meal 🙂 Overall, this place is amazing every time I go and the workers really make the experience enjoyable.

My wife and I have gone to do many Mexican restaurants over the years and have never been really happy. El Potro changed that. This is the only Mexican restaurant we will go to. From the margaritas to the chips to the meal, everything was wonderful!!
Our server, Marco was equally incredible. He was so conversational and attentive. He was AMAZING!!!!!!
THIS IS OUR FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We had another fantastic meal at El Potro in Winter Park. The Quesadilla Supreme is so huge and delicious that it usually is our meal of choice. But the menu is extensive and seeing what others ordered will eventually help me to try something else. The owner is so friendly and always comes over to chat with us and make sure we got all we wanted. This is a great place with reasonable prices that serves huge servings of delicious food and they are very willing to accomodate most any special request you may have! I highly recommend you try them!

El Potro is always a great experience for us. The service is fantastic, we’ve had several servers who have all been very friendly and attentive. Our most recent server Ruben V. was so nice and made us feel welcome.
The food is consistently good, we recently tried the new Tacos Barbacoa and the Pollo à la Diabla. The barbacoa had great flavor and I’m a fan of their salsa verde. The Diabla has a decent amount of spice and tons of flavor. We also got the queso, which is very good.
The atmosphere is nice and cozy, they have murals hand painted on the windows which are very cute. The restaurant is clean. Also I find their prices reasonable. They also have a large selection of alcoholic beverages, I didn’t have any this time but in the past I’ve tried a few different ones and they have all been good.

Came here on a casual date night during the week when we were craving Mexican food, and this place is an underrated, hidden gem. The limitless chips and salsa, great service, and delicious and comforting food is why we come back. Our server Ruben was such a thoughtful and kind waiter, explaining the menu items to us and giving great suggestions. 10/10 recommend this spot!
