El Potro Mexican Restaurant

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

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.

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! 👍
