If you blink, you will miss this Gem of a Mexican restaurant. Today, the SECRET is out! If you…read morewant to take your friends, family to an original and non commercial Mexican restaurant and have that feeling of a true family restaurant, you gotta go to El Potosinos in Galena Park. Food: Ever just eat and just feel happy on having something that is homemade. Everything I have had here is soul calming. I get disappointed when I go to The commercial restaurant like El Tempo, or Pappasito's. Service: Olga started off as a waitress and now she is the owner. She is caring for her customers and you can tell immediately. Don't mind pictures of her regulars on the wall. Ambiance: this is not a commercial restaurant, it's looks like a house. You're able to see family cooking in the back and really feel like you are eating at someone's house. If you want to show out of towners what true non commercial TexMex is, El Potosinos is your place. Tell Olga Jay sent you lol. You will thank me later.

I've been coming here since 2016. My family was first introduced to this restaurant by the owner of…read moreCompean Funeral Home while we were planning my grandma's funeral. Because of that, this place will always remind me of her. A lot has changed over the last 10 years, but one thing that has remained consistent is the great service. They've expanded their menu, updated their prices (which is understandable with how expensive everything is now!), added more decor, and even added margarita machines. Everything I've tried here tastes authentic, but my favorite part is their walk-up food station because it's the food that reminds me most of home. My go-to plates are the carne guisada and asado de puerco, both served with rice and refried beans. Their flour tortillas are delicious (sometimes a bit hard) but still fresh and tasty. The staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently good. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this is a great spot for homey Mexican food. I'll definitely continue coming back for years to come.

Where did we stop?! This is legit a diamond in Broadway! We arrived and were greeted immediately…read more We were offered the food bar with a menu as we sat. Of course I went to look at the food and to my surprise they had chiles rellenos, guisados and more. Well, let me tell you, the BEST CARNE GUISADA we have eaten! And that chile relleno was filled with carne molida con papas and queso, WOW WOW WOW. We got a Gordita, we got tacos de tripas, the fajita was tasty. I give this diamond a 100! I will come back!! We asked Roman how long that restaurant had been open and he said "31 years" what!!!! Where have we been!!! Come you won't be disappointed.

I do think this is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Houston. The parking lot was full so we…read moreknew it was great tasting! BUT, to our surprise we did not wait for a table. The service is outstanding. We never wanted for anything. Admittedly, we speak enough Spanish to get by, but they speak English too. Andrea was our server. She was excellent. Accurate with our order and attentive to our requests. I love the old school feel as for roughly 1 hour on Friday night they had mariachis. They sounded terrific! The most outstanding thing of all was the taste of their food. I have lived in Texas for 60 years, SO I KNOW TEX-MEX! We were over off of I-10 and stopped in this place. I have eaten at more TexMex restaurants than I am afraid to admit. Don Rey on I-10 had the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in this city. First of all, their green sauce and red salsa were outstanding. It was all I could do not to fill up on chips and green sauce. The chips are "old school" DELICIOUS! I usually get the combination plate, so I can only comment on crispy tacos, tostadas and cheese enchiladas. They put plenty of cheese on everything, the sauces are so sabroso (tasty) and the meat on the taco and tostada was plentiful and delicious. I had fajita beef. Lots of lettuce and tomato and I ordered extra onion. My brother had a delicious margarita. I did not drink as I wanted to eat my food. As it turned out, there was so much food that I took 1/2 my plate home! BTW, the leftovers were just as good today! Please stop by this place! It really was delicious and reasonably priced. It is what I consider the best if not some of the best Mexican in all of Houston!

It's soooo good! This is a long drive away for me. But I came across it when visiting a friend in…read morethe area. I had four tacos. I had two asado de puerco tacos and two carnita tacos. My friend had a mojara frita plate. I don't remember what kind of fish a mojara is in English. But what you need to know is it's a fried fish plate. I tasted his fried fish. It was delicious. For a bit I wish I would have got the fish also. But then I bit into my tacos. Wow!! The asados de puerco, which is basically pork cooked in a red chili sauce is good. Very good even. But the carnitas...................this place is worth me traveling to just to get those carnita tacos. Some of the best carnitas I've ever had. If not the very best carnitas I've ever tasted. The taste and texture of the carnitas is next level. Also the hot sauce they brought to the table has the texture of being made in a molcajete. A molcajete is a Mexican tool used to ground things by hand. Vegetables into sauce etc. The hot sauce they served and adding a little salt on top. Some of the best tacos I've had at a restaurant in a while, and I eat a lot of tacos. This restaurant is a little place with a bakery attached to it. The Mexican pastries from the bakery are also worth a try if you try this place out. I'm gonna have to go back here. Really good!

We get 10 tacos, a quesadilla, and rice and beans to bring to my grandparents and last time we went, earlier this year, it was around $50. We went today and it was $100...DOUBLE the regular price. They're very delicious, but aren't large or filled enough for this kind of pricing. This is completely ridiculous and we can't support this place anymore because of this absurd pricing. I understand everything is more expensive in the world, but there's no reason we should pay $100 for a quick TO GO MEAL. If we wanted to spend this kind of money we would've gone to Pappasitos and gotten a full pound of fajitas, rice, beans, AND an appetizer with table side service. Again, we like to support small businesses and have grown up going to this place, but this is unjust to consumers with how ridiculous their pricing has gotten.
