My boyfriend and I come here almost every weekend because their food is simply amazing! Their margaritas are the best around! The customer service is exceptional and we’re always pleased after every visit

First time there. Huge birthday party of 20! Although it’s been mentioned numerous times before, the food here was great! Prices are very reasonable too. Each dish was filling and portioned with the hungry in mind! The fajitas and quesadillas in particular taste very rich Everything was great! Will go back And the steak fajitas came out sizzling hot Portions are big, But the burritos are huge so be prepared (we shared) for dessert churros are a must, But the fried ice cream will always impress and a win for the kids

Definitely the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been too so far in MA. We received fresh tortilla chips and salsa shortly after we were seated. I had the nachos which I assumed would be just a heaping messy plate but as you can see from my photo that was not the case! And you know what? I honestly liked this take way better as the ingredients were even on all the chips and it was much easier to eat. Also the frozen margarita I had was delicious! And huge!

I went to El Potro last night to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. We wanted to try some place new. I can’t believe I have lived in the area so long and never thought to check it out. I have definitely been missing out!!

El Potro wasn’t to bad. The Carne Asada plate was good but unfortunately the Mole Enchiladas were to sweet. Don’t mind some sweetness because that’s a part of the mole sauce but not when it is over powering the entree. It ruined the meal. The Tortilla Soup was on point though. I even took some home. Another downer was I ordered two types of Mexican beer off the menu, they were out of both when I requested one after the other. Even though i gave low stars, I plan to try it again and hopefully we have a better experience with the food and beer selection as a whole. Staff was pleasent. Nice clean venue. I do recommend because i intend to go back.

We’ve eaten here many times over the last three years. The food is always great, but I recommend dining in if you have the option — being in a container doesn’t do justice to the tortillas or other fresh ingredients. Service has always been good, too.

Good food. Went with a large group of 20. Will not do it again. But definitely going again with small group or just my family. Large group service was slow and overwhelmed the server. But again, the food is good. Convenient parking across the restaurant. Expect to spend between 25-30 per person.
