El Potrillo - Mexican Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

When this place was originally downtown on Andy Devine Avenue, the food was phenomenal. They had unusual dishes, and all the ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented. Then for reasons unknown they moved up to Hualapai Mtn Road and their menu became a carbon copy of every other Mexican restaurant in the area. I went last week for the first time in many months for lunch. Very few people there, waitress less than enthused, service unbelievably slow. All 3 of us ordered the same thing, which was a lunch special: taco salad. When mine came, I found a wad of plastic wrap mixed in with the lettuce. The waitress was informed when she came to bring our checks and she appeared flustered. She came back a few minutes to inform me that they heat up the chicken for the salad in plastic wrap in the microwave and that she was sorry. I thought the least she could have done was to comp my iced tea or something, but absolutely nothing was offered except an apology. I had to go hunt the waitress down to come pick up our payments because we had to get back to work. The food was unimpressive. I doubt we'll go back when there's so many other Mexican restaurants in town to choose from. read more

Ok so let's see how should we rate this? We get here they greeted us really quick sat us and handed us a menu. Took a bit for our drink order I ordered a michelada wife ordered an horchata she said it was good mine was plain a little spicy but just plain clam broth tomato and ground pepper and beer. They gave us chips and salsa as any other Mexican restaurant would the salsa was tomatoes onion and ground pepper paste picante would've been a smarter choice. We placed our order it took approximately 45 minutes for us to get our food I measured it by drinking 4 beers during the time . No michelada just beers cause the first one was nasty! Food showed up wife ordered taquitos and guac she said they were bland no taste. Me I ordered the Tijuana tour it consisted of three tacos a carne asada a carnitas and a al pastor taco with rice and beans i also ordered a ceviche tostada yes I'm a pig! First the tostada it was fresh great taste and well served then I tasted the tacos they were hard tacos if you have been to Tijuana you know they don't serve them hard. the carnitas were good I would order it again if I return the pastor was burned and tasted like it was a few days old. The carne asada was plain tasted like meat that's grilled without any spice you can't season meat after it's cooked so that was definitely a bad idea I should have eaten them in a the opposite order I just thought the carne asada would be the best taco it is a Mexican restaurant so we pride ourselves on our carne asada. Not here ! Ok so it wasn't all bad they are short staffed I could tell the servers were overwhelmed he told me 20 minutes prior that our food was ready but they were trying to get it out and we're very busy it was super hot when it came out at least the plates were from the heat lamps. The beans were canned and burned from the heat lamp the rice was dry from the heat lamps! Oh but I was getting to the good part! So when we got the chips and salsa I asked for something other then tomatoes and ground pepper well 30 minutes in they brought me a salsa that was fire! Holy crap was it hot! I normally will have 3 beers with my dinner one before my meal one during and one at the end while I wait for my wife to finish her dinner ! I had a nasty michelada and 5 beers to turn the fire off! So if you read this do yourself a favor order the chips and salsa for $3 and a few beers but request the hot salsa avoid the food it's not authentic unless your not looking for authentic Mexican food. I'm grading this on my opinion as a Mexican of 52 years so don't take my word for it try it for yourself. It was clean the atmosphere was good but just not worth a second trip for me. Two stars cause the hot salsa deserves it! read more

We travel often, and therefore eat out quite a bit, and Mexican is our favorite, so I feel we are capable of rating a restaurant based on our experience. That said, I can honestly say the food here was terrible, we waited nearly 40 minutes and when we finally told them we were going to leave, the meal was magically ready. It was obvious the plate had been in the oven much too long, because the beans were dry and crusty around the edges, and were sour. The salsa literally was tomato sauce with a little onion thrown in, and the enchilada was a tortilla wrapped around cheese with no sauce. The wait staff were working hard, but the food was terrible. Don't waste your time at this place, there are much better out there. read more

It's is some of the best Mexican food we have had!!! Definitely would go again!!! Friendly staff and great service

The establishment is the Best of the Best Mexican-Chicano food faire. Set in a modern box mini mall building with minimum signage, it is not placed the typical old west adobe hut that I remember growing up in the 50's and 60's. Nonetheless, the scene rapidly changes upon entering the establishment where a patron is met with dozen of rainbow portraits and scenery depicting a culture familiar to the region, so is the sweet et ambiance of those times. Seated at one's table is another deal in the arts, a mural if you can imagine that is unique to each table, half have a front window to the outside. This gives it a sense of friendliness even if you decide to be seated at one of the center tables. Service is immediate and attentive but not interruptive. Qualities that get an automatic 3 star rating for a less desirable restaurant. I give the place a Five Star because the waiters (al biet very busy) were able to keep up with the needs of their customers. The mouth watering food was the reason for the final rating. I did not go in with a strong appetite to begin with but the portions were so large, I had a fine mini-lunch the following day. Although we were only passing through on our visit around The old Highway-Route #66, I would definately return and highly recommend this stop whether yo are famished or simply looking for a Latin Samplier. read more

Love this place! Awesome food and service! Great selection of food and there's even some local brew on tap from Black Bridge Brewery! Definately worth the stop! Great atmosphere also! read more

Hands down the best authentic Mexican food in the Kingman area. A tiny bit more costly than the others but hey "You're worth it!" Service second to none and very clean! read more

Ordered almost $100 worth of food . Asked for chips and was given 1/2 a bag of chips. Asked for green salsa and was told it was $3. Forgot the corn tortillas. Food was fair . Attitude was subpar. Won't be back to this location! Management hung up on me when I complained. Other places to spend my money. Avoid at all costs !!!! Forgot to add.... My avocados were black !! So appetizing. read more

Plaza Bonita 2! I love that place and I love this one as well. A lot of the same menu items, with more emphasis on seafood. Huge margaritas and huge portions and well priced. They now have beer on tap from the local brewery! This is (in my opinion) THE BEST Mexican food in town. Go here now and often. You will not be disappointed. read more

I really enjoy Mexican food. I eat it in many cities, and I have to say this ranks right near the top. Try the carnitas tacos! Real Mexican food served with awesome margaritas! read more

This place is mediocre at best. Don't go for happy hour margaritas, they are "watered down" cheap tequila drinks at best, the food is subpar gringo Mexican food. There are much better Mexican choices in the Kingman area. read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in Kingman. I ordered the Camarones Suizos and my GF had the Mexican Trio. Excellent. The bar was also well stocked. This is the only place in town where you can get a Michelada. read more

We stopped here for lunch. The ambiance is very cute. The food...seasoning... seasoning,... seasoning! The guacamole needed seasoning, the beef needed seasoning, the beans were just okay. I had the shredded beef chimichanga. Howard had the two taco beef shredded. He liked it. Me so so. I think it is worth trying other dishes. So we will be back...at least once. read more

El Potrillo - Cute ambiance - Mexican Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Best Mexican Food in Kingman. I am visiting my parents while my step-mom is in the hospital. I ordered a cheese and onion enchilada plate. The refried beans and rice were flavorful. The enchilada was cooked just right and the enchilada sauce was delicious. My dad ordered two tamales. The green sauce had a nice heat and was flavor packed. Very nice portion of shredded pork. The restaurant is colorful with music in the background. We were greeted at the door with a warm invite to dine. We didn't feel rushed to order. The server politely answered our questions. Overall the service and food was top notch. read more

The fajitas, soup, and burrito were really flavorful as was the margarita. Waiter was attentive, getting drinks refilled, and everything was exactly as ordered. Appreciate tasty food and efficient service. This restaurant was recommended by a local. read more

Pens star because the last time I was here was charged $16.00 for rolled tacos. (I asked if they had rolled tacos and was told yes(EVERY menu rolled tacos are like $1 to $2 each ) $16.00 later and told they where "flautas" . Ok, my bad. Next visit, I am waiting to be seated and the person seating people looked right at me then to the people behind me and seated them!! read more

Authentic Mexican food, took like 1/2hr to get 2 tacos rice and beans however if you have time the food is good.

Worst beef fajitas and carne asada ever, tough. tasteless, and full of gristle. Rice was dry and frijoles runny, never again!!

Aithentic Food, Awesome Al Pastor, Traditional Atmosphere in Kingman Service with a Smile ! read more

I'm sure the people that have a great experience here came on different day, I asked if carnival where traditional Mexican ,server replied yes, when food arrived food looked ok, my kids actually had to pull the Carne asada with both hands in order to ripped a pece, my carnitas where dried,when asked the server/bar tender/manager/food runner/... about the food he said I never asked the question about carnitas, ok, when my kids told the guy about their meat (9 and 10 yr old ) he's response was, is Carne asada I never knew about a Carne asada that is soft, $45.00 to the drain. Other customers where also complaining about the total price for drinks. A bit about me , I'm in the food industry, yes Mexican food, I operate 8 locations and over see 13 in all. One final comment, when asked for the owner info the guy replied, is really hard to get a hold of him. read more

We stopped in there to eat for lunch one day. I decided to play it safe with 2 ground beef tacos with beans and rice. Wow! Didn't know there was any way to screw up a ground beef taco but they managed. The salsa was very runny and the service was very bad. I couldn't finish my meal and refused to take it home to my dogs. read more

Exceptionally delicious vegan options, really good enchilada sauces, too. Not too hot and full of flavor! The decor is fun and well done, this is a happy place! We'll be back! read more

For Kingman this is an okay place to eat. The atmosphere is decent. I found the food to be okay but a little on the bland side. I ordered a two item combo (shredded beef enchilada and a shredded beef taco). There was a nice amount of shredded beef in both items but the enchilada sauce was almost tasteless and it was more like having a chunk of roast wrapped in a tortilla. The taco was good size I just wish I would have been told about there being onions. It was a little more flavorful because of the cheese, lettu6and tomatoes but again more like eating roast than a shr8beef taco. As for the complimentary chips they were decent but I do prefer thinner chips. The salsa was bland as well and needed a little something to give it more flavor. read more

Unfortunately not worth the stop. :( very low quality of food prep. And the wait staff working thier but off. Too bad looked like a great place. read more

My wife and I went to this place when they first opened, and it was good, but since then, it has gone downhill. I ordered takeout the other night, and it was horrible, the chips were fried in really old grease, carnitas were made from the crappiest pork they could find (if it was even pork) and they forgot my tortillas. Their parking lot seems pretty empty, during normally busy restaurant hours. Oh well, another Kingman restaurant bites the dust! read more

Servic was sooooo slow! The salsa was glorified ketchup. The house margarita tasted like watered down 7-up. I asked for a veggie chimichanga with no mushrooms. It came stuffed full of them! I will not recommend this place or be back. read more

You can tell the quality of a Mexican restaurant by its chips an chili verde. If the chips are from a bag run. If they are made at the restaurant an come to the table warm your starting to get a real restaurant. A true test would be the Chili Verde. This place has the ultimate chili verde. The sauce an pork are cooked to excellence. I have had chili verde through out the U.S. Have to say this is up at the top. Try a plate. I guarantee you will buy the cook a beer. I did. read more

Tried El Potrillo this afternoon and enjoyed their food immensely! I ordered the Cameron's ala Diablo and asked for them to make it extra hot. It was absolutely delicious! It unplugged my sinuses, and melted the earwax from my ears, just like I asked for. My wife had the carnitas and she said they were about average. I will be coming back here, with or without her (her choice!) Edit to add: We took home an order of menudo for breakfast. I have lowered my rating to four stars because the menudo was lacking. It was bland in flavor, contained a pig's knuckle the size of my fist that had to be tossed. I do have hope for this place because of it's potential to be a really good Mexican restaurant. read more

Being Native Californians, we expected Arizona to have some top notch Mexican food (being close to the border). We were sadly disappointed with the poor quality in this restaurant. The atmosphere was delightful with colorful and tasteful murals and decorations. It was quite cozy with a lot of charm. The service was attentive but slower than most. The food lacked the spirit found in the actual restaurant. It was bland with little flavor and was nothing special. The fajitas were mehhh and the enchilada sauce was very watery. The chicken on crema was decent and tasty but the rice and beans were horrible. Ve the tortillas and chips tasted bizarre. We were very upset and wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It was only edible. read more

Great service! Great food! Great margaritas! Love the bright and fun atmosphere. Great place for friends and family to meet up. Definitely recommend. read more

Great food, well priced. BUT DO NOT BUY TEQUILA SHOTS. Consider yourself warned. Learn from my mistake. My wife and I ordered some house margaritas, and requested side shots of some Casadores (mid range stuff, retails for about $28 a bottle). None of the menus show any prices, and who wants to be that guy who has to ask? Well, when the bill came, they were rung up for $10 each!?!?! THIS IS KINGMAN, NOT A VEGAS NIGHTCLUB! (And the size of the pour was not impressive either, by the way, 1.5 oz max). When I pointed this out to the server, he was shocked too, "this must be a mistake". But no, the manager said "Thats how it's in the computer, nothing I can do..." SO drink at your own risk my friends! Abstain or enjoy your 533% markup! read more

My wife and i live near by so we frequent here. My wife always orders the ceviche and loves it, I usually try something different and have never had Something Bad. I would Recomend this place to everyone. read more

El Potrillo - Mexican Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Average food in very nice dining area. The wood carvings and bright colors add a lot to the atmosphere. Service was good. Chips tasted like fried in old oil. Ordered flautas. According to menu they're wrapped in flour tortillas. These were taquitos in corn tortillas. Must be a Kingman thing as I got the same thing at another restaurant. Food came fast. Was okay. Nothing special. read more

I live down the road from this place and always enjoy getting a bite to eat here! Friendly staff and good food, especially their burritos!

This place is awesome! Just down the street from me couldn't be more excited. Great service and great food.
