Dining area
Jason P.

I've been going to El Potro since 2001. It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. Always consistent. The food is always good. My favorites are the Pollo Loco & Carne Asada tacos, and I love their homemade chips and salsa. Highly recommended.

Chimichanga lunch!
Mark P.

Damarama ding dong day! I completely forgot how much I liked El Potro trying so many other new to me places. Used to do them back in college when they had the buffet. Easy solid 9. All the salsas were excellent. Love that orange stuff!! Food was great. We happened upon exceptional exemplary service. Our waiter was just awesome. Going to have to throw them back into the rotation.

Bean Chalupa and Enchilada
Kaley J.

El Potro is an affordable dining option with authentic food! It's very casual with fast and friendly service. Most menu items are under $10! The bean chalupa and enchilada were very tasty! Their margaritas were also delicious and a good size! I'll be back!

King Quesadilla  This is all the peppers and onions that are in it that are specified on the menu.

Ordered king quesadilla on uber eats. In the summary of the item it said NOTHING about peppers and onions being in it. It was FULL of onions and peppers. I would consider it a peppers and onion quesadilla with a side of chicken in it. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Carnitas Tacos de Carnitas
Candy F.

The food and service area always excellent at this location. I have my favorites that I usually order. The carnitas Tacos are always a great choice.

Shrimp quesadilla
Aliya H.

I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the lunch special shrimp quesadilla with rice and refried beans. She ordered the beef tip burritos. Everything was SO good. The food came out fast. This was my first time here but I'll definitely be back. Good food at low prices.

A curly hair in birria tacos

Ordered green chilaquiles was told they're not on menu but that they could be made, the server then asked what type of meat chicken beef???? I said just with an egg on top he said that in Mexico they are always served with shredded meat!! I'm thinking well I e been to Mexico many times, I cook authentic Mexican food and I've never heard of this but I went with it and ordered them with chicken. My daughter ordered birria tacos and husband chilaquiles with beef. Well when the order came out what I got was chips with green sauce scattered in places mixed with shredded chicken it was navhos Not chilaquiles was one big mess. My husbands chilaquiles came out with eggs which he didn't ask for as a matter of facts he can't eat eggs My daughter found a curly blonde hair in her birria tacos all along we tried getting the server's attention but he was on the telephone we called someone else over and all he did was tell the server who was still on the phone took him many minutes to make his way to us to just tell me that I had ordered the chilaquiles both the same and he was rude about it It was over all a very bad experience and I would not recommend!! One last thing the owner seemed to be there but didn't even care to come over just eating and carrying on, also annoying kids coming in to sell chocolates to the tables ugh pls do yourself a favor and avoid this place just not worth it. We left a tip just to show we weren't looking for a freebie since they did take off for the birria tacos because of the hair, that was the most rudest server I've ever encountered

Horchata
Andra L.

Food was great and service was great however I didn't see any plate differences between the tostada and chalupa which threw me off a bit. The horchata was excellent.

First time eating here and this will absolutely be my go to Mexican restaurant. we were sat immediately, had chips on the table within 30 seconds, and drinks in under a minute. food was incredible, I can not recommend this place enough.

I was feeling a little homesick and missing my rice so I ordered the Cali Rice Bowl and it was everything my body was asking for and more. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and everything tasted fresh and delicious. My partner ordered the birria tacos and he absolutely loved them. He kept talking about how flavorful they were and how well everything was prepared. We came later in the evening so the restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. The location itself is beautiful, though it is just a little dark inside. The prices were good and nothing crazy. But the real star of the show was our server Mateus. And I mean that sincerely. We ate here on February 9th and it is now March 13th and I am sitting here writing this review at midnight because I want everyone to know how amazing he was. We have never had such an energetic, sweet and attentive server who genuinely made us feel like we were dining with family. His kindness and personality truly made our experience at Agave Azul so much better. Honestly we wish we could have taken him with us.

Los tacos son un must, especialmente los de birria, y las margaritas... simplemente espectaculares. Lo mejor es que todo llega rápido y caliente, y el personal siempre está atento sin ser invasivo. Es el tipo de sitio al que quieres volver con amigos, familia o incluso para una cena tranquila. Definitivamente, Pepe Cantina es una joya en Winter Park. ¡Super recomendado! Pepe Cantina en Winter Park nunca decepciona, pero esta vez mi experiencia fue aún mejor gracias al increíble servicio del equipo. Desde que llegas, el ambiente vibrante y la energía del lugar te hacen sentir que estás en uno de los mejores spots mexicanos de la zona. Quiero destacar especialmente al manager Anderson, que es verdaderamente excepcional. Su atención, profesionalismo y manera tan amable de manejar todo hacen una gran diferencia. Se nota que le importa cada detalle y que quiere que todos los clientes tengan una experiencia perfecta. Y por supuesto, un reconocimiento especial para Christian, el bartender. Sus margaritas son otro nivel, y además tiene una actitud súper amigable, rápida y siempre dispuesto a recomendar algo que encaje con tu gusto. Da gusto encontrarse con alguien tan talentoso detrás de la barra. La comida sigue siendo deliciosa: fresca, con buen sabor y presentación impecable. Entre los tacos, la birria es un favorito obligatorio, y todo llega rápido y perfectamente preparado. Sin duda, Pepe Cantina es un lugar al que siempre quieres volver--no solo por la comida, sino por el servicio de excelencia que brindan personas como Anderson y Christian. ¡Totalmente recomendad

Unfortunately, as much as I love the food there and the ambience, especially on Cinco de Mayo, I was starving! I remembered around the corner there was a restaurant that had been recommended in the past, but I never got the chance to check out. Being that I was in the area, I figured let's give this spot a try. Lo and behold, El Pueblo was only six minutes down the road! There was a 20 minute wait, but I was greeted kindly by the staff, and when I walked in you could tell this place was super authentic. The decor was super vibrant and music was bumping. They do not have alcohol, but they have coronas and a margarita type glass premixed for purchase. That held us over for the time being. The chips and salsa were phenomenal. The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!
