The mole enchiladas were too sugary, and the rice could use more flavor. The beans had a good flavor to them. Chips and salsa were nice but could be better. The waiters were friendly and checked in often which was positive. Good atmosphere and the place was clean. No wifi. I’m not sure I would call the food authentic like the website claims since they adapted it so much for the locals here.

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!

Friendly staff, upbeat vibe, busy location, and great food. Have loved everything I’ve had on the menu- chicken tortilla soup, enchiladas verde, birria tacos, pollo a la crema, chimi burritos. Their rice is my favorite and the fried ice cream is worth saving room for. Great place!

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!

This feels like home cooked food – Carlos took good care of me: I had vegetarian enchiladas, it was a generous portion size – lots of beans, rice, and two enchiladas filled with lettuce veggies and cheese. I had it with some mole sauce on the side.
I definitely recommend this place
It has heart, and Carlos is a lovely person. I wish this restaurant and him lot of success.

With tip, nearly 30 dollars… Not going to lie, I was expecting 20, maybe 22 dollars max with tips.
For 3 shrimp enchiladas, beans, and rice.
I should have looked at the prices first…
Given its demeanor and the type of food, I figured that the food would be more affordable…
I could literally have gone next door to a way higher quality German restaurant for a meal for 25 dollars…
Or literally anywhere else for a way nicer meal for 30 dollars including tip…
Mexican food is apparently no longer considered cheap lmfao
I cannot recommend this restaurant, when for the same price there are so many better options in the nearby restaurants.

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.

Coming from Arizona this is super authentic. Reasonably priced but by no means unclassy. 10/10 would agree 5 stars all day
