Visited them for the first time, had ordered veggie fajitas and veggie enchiladas. Both were really awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful. Liked the ambiance. Would definitely visit again. Salsa could have been better but nachos were nice n warm. Thanks for nice food.

Good Tex Mex Fair. I had the Trio Enchiladas. The beef with the Verde sauce was very good followed by the Mole. A good place for reasonable casual dinning. Service was prompt, and friendly.

Such a fun place! The interior is colorful and a bit over the top (but in a good way), and the margaritas were perfect. I highly recommend starting off with one of the tamales, they were incredible. I had the encheladas de mole which were really tasty, but i got to taste the chimichanga with pork carnitas as well, and that was out of this world.

Looked at the Google reviews and went to this restaurant. We were served crushed chips to begin with. The burrito had way too much oil in it. When we told the waiteress that the chips are all crushed, she replied saying it was the end of the batch and still did not have the courtesy to replace them.

I came here today for first time. Love mexican food in general , but this place is up to the next great level. I totally love the flavors involved here in every dish that they make. I got the shredded chicken chimichangas, and my friend got a fish dish which was quite big. Portions are quite generous, and they make you full. Although i would love some level of spice too, it caters to most of your tastebuds. Overall, they serve great food and service. Would recommend it to everyone!

I stopped by El Potro close to closing, and once the appetizers came out, I instantly regretted not coming sooner so I could have more of an opportunity to consume everything on the menu. I will be back very soon. Some of the best quesadillas I have ever had nice and crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside; they weren’t cheap, with the shrimp plenty of shrimp to repopulate the Atlantic Ocean seasoned to perfection. The drinks were strong and fruity. I am 45 minutes away from Lowell, but I will undoubtedly be visiting very often!
