El Potro Mexican Restaurant

Made a quick stop here before heading to our hotel (we were super hungry!). Felt like Mexican, so decided to eat here. Greeted right away, food ordered quickly. Can never complain about free chips and salsa either. The food arrived hot and fresh! I decided on the lunch meal if beef enchilada. Came with rice and beans. Great price too of $9 bucks! As you can see, devoured it before I could think to snap a picture. Quick service, just what we needed. Enjoyed!

My family and I were in the haunt for a mexican restaurant that could satisfy our raging craving for some tequila and spice. At El Potro, we achieved that and much more. Not we drank the best tequila of our lives, but we had amazingly delicious main courses to go along with them. They receive you with nachos and salsa, substancial and satisfying enough to not need to ask for a starter. The nachos were great, but the real mvp was the salsa: pure perfection. We actually liked the restaurant so much that we went there twice, and the second time the salsa was way more spicy! For me, that means and upgrade hehe. As for the main dishes, I highly recommend the Chicken Tacos! The Bistec a la Diabla was also fantastic and the Chimichangas, my mom's order, out of this world. The San Jose Chicken Salad, very delicious and fresh, super recommended as well. They also have a kids menu in case you have picky children. My sister is, indeed, very picky so she ordered fried chicken with french fries, and she loved it! For dessert, we tried the Flan, the Fried Ice Cream and the Churros, which are undoubtly my recommendation. Nonetheless, if looking for something less filling, the Flan is a lighter option that will equally satisfy a sweet tooth! Besides its outstanding food, El Potro stands out for its incredible service: quick, informative, kind and welcoming. The waiters were knowledgeable about the menu and gave us really good recommendations, which was aprecciated as the menu is quite large and choosing a dish can be tough! Of course, I must mention that they were also attentive and helpful at all times, another plus to this experience. The prices are extremely reasonable, furthermore, I would qualify this restaurant as pretty cheap. Overall, El Potro is a must-go place to eat out at Orlando. Its cuisine is top notch, just like its people and the service they provide.

Came to this location for the first time on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is big and had a lot of big parties , but we didn't have to wait. Our server was great, attentive and friendly. This location is away from the Orlando madness and had a nice family vibe to it with nice music and great environment. I had a margarita sangria which was not my favorite (next time I'll stick to one or the other). They give you a complementary first round of chips and salsa (the salsa had a kick to it) and I ordered a side of queso which also had a spicy kick to it. For dinner I had the steak burrito. It was ok , definitely was not a fan kinda boring flavors. My husband had the combo fajitas that had shrimp, beef and pork (I tried it and it had good flavor) We also took the churros and the banana chimichanga to go and both were delicious! yum. They have a big menu and next time I'll try something different. I'll recommend to try.
