El Potro Mexican Restaurant

I've eaten here a few times now, and it is always top-notch. From the service to the food, it is one of my favorite places to eat in Grand Rapids. My personal favorites are the Enchiladas El Paso and the chicken quesadilla. :)

We’ve come here multiple times in the last two months! It never disappoints, has great serving sizes, very reasonable wait times, and a very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

(update) Much better the 2nd time. We will be returning again. Good price & good food.
(Previous review)The food was pretty bland, but not bad. Menu prices seemed reasonable. Small quantity of meat for 'fajitas for 2', & the chicken & beef pieces were strange pieces that looked like you would normally discard while cutting up. Quite a bit of chewy fat on the beef. The shrimp would have been better if it had been grilled a bit with charbroiled edges for a more bold flavor to use in the fajita, but that's not their recipe. We moved here from Texas, & it honestly just didn't compare, but we'll give it another try. The waiter was awesome. Looking forward to trying it for dinner instead of lunch. 👍

Wow. Just wow. This meal was absolutely delicious, and the lunch specials are unbeatable! Got the chimichanga plate and the #10 lunch combo and including tip it was $25 (we got waters to drink). It was our first time visiting and we will be back!! Often!

Everything we ordered was wonderful. We were happy to find great Mexican restaurant up north - the waitress was covering so many tables and not missing a beat. She was doing a awesome job keeping up while it was extremely busy. Not only that but she memorized our order and didn't forget any of the changes we requested. She is a very sweet girl with tattoos on her forearms. (If she reads reviews) we want her to know she was doing a great job. She paid special attention to our sons food allergies and made sure everything he got was ok for him. We really appreciated that.

UPDATE: 4 months after our 1st and only visit we had the same waitress. She remembered us and that we were at the same table as before. Again the service & food was wonderful and she is amazing.
