4.4/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Kristie Sussan
The food was amazing, and the staff was even better! So friendly and welcoming, as well as wonderful service! Only gave 4 stars due to the facility. The smell or the sewage is fairly strong, especially in and around the bathrooms. Possibly out of their control, but worth mentioning to possible future customers. If you aren’t super sensitive about smells, you’ll be fine.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jamison Ousley
My wife, baby and I had lunch here on a weekday afternoon. Prices were very reasonable, portions were generous, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The crazy thing is that it wasn't crowded. There aren't a lot of places where you can have a hot, fresh meal for less than $10. Highly recommended.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — James Collins
It’s never disappointed, the food is always good, service is always quick and polite, and not too expensive!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Joseph Howard
In an area teeming with Mexican restaurants, standing out can be a challenge, especially when the competition is strong. However, El Potrillo Mexican Grill has managed to rise above the rest. They've elevated their offerings from good to exceptional. Despite living about 30 minutes away from at least five other Mexican restaurants, and this one being a further 15 minutes away, I still choose to dine here. I wish I could share a picture of their incredible Quesabirria, but I'm always so eager to dig in that I forget to snap a photo until I'm satiated, barely able to move, and wearing a look of pure satisfaction. I highly recommend visiting El Potrillo Mexican Grill. Once you've tasted their food, I'm confident you'll agree with me.
