El Potro Mexican Restaurant

"If you're looking for truly authentic Mexican food this would a very very good place to start. By far one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Food was fantastic, portion size was excellent and service was top-notch! Atmosphere was what you would expect at a authentic Mexican restaurant. Nothing over the top but very pleasant. Meal for 2 of us without drinks costs around $28 with side item and was well worth it! If you're in the area and you're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food do yourself a favor and stop by here!"

"Finally a true-authentic Mexican restaurant in Orlando. I love the handmade tortillas, kinda small but really good. Al pastor tacos are on point. Totally recommend."

"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!"

"Food was delicious and very large portions. Service was excellent and atmosphere could not have been better. Bathrooms were very good too. I think this is our new go to place for traditional Mexican food."

"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."
