Great food always good staff is friendly and place is clean. A wide variety of good Mexican cuisine

I recommend La Potosina Mexican Restaurant in Danville. I go there from time to time and enjoy the staff, the food and the atmosphere. The food is excellent and it has the taste and charm of San Luis Potosí in Mexico. I enjoy the reasonable prices, and I recommend the Carne Asada. I eat out frequently and this place is one of the good ones. read more

Great place to eat very friendly staff and a lot of choice to choose from. I would definitely be back.

Delicious food,carnitas were fantastic, plain bean nachos were delicious. Really good food

This place is a Danville staple. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly tho they do get busy so no they can not always be at your beck and call Karen. I always have good service. Best salsa in town. It's a pretty cool place. read more

La Potosina Restaurant - Vegan fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Danville, Illinois

Always incredible, best red sauce Ive ever had and not a single item Ive ever regretted ordering. A mist stop when Im near here in Danville. Best mexican restaurant ever, fight me! read more

Best Mexican in the area. The service and attention to detail is outstanding. Good place to catch the game.

I just had probably the worst carry out meal i've had in roughly 10 years....Wife and I carried out La Potosina. (South). Taco, burrito, enchilada tamale, all the same thing only different shapes and lengths. Bland. No flavor. Horrible texture. Also charged a 3.99% card use fee! Who carries cash anymore! Also charged a $.50 carry out fee! Carry out fee? You are charging me for not using a server? Never will I eat there again! read more

Always good food and friendly service! Spend many Fiesta Fridays here! Peach margaritas for the win!

Told me my service dog was not welcome because he whimpered! He did not bark and stayed in a "down stay" position at my feet the entire time! Definitely not ADA compliant. read more

Def the food was wonderful. Everything was clean especially the bathrooms. The menu had everything on it. But the best part of our first time visit was our server. We had a table of 7, and he did not disappoint. I only wrote this review to show our appreciation for him. I hope his name is correct on this receipt. read more

La Potosina Restaurant - Our servers name - Mexican Near Me - Danville, Illinois

La Potosina (or "the Pot") is a good option for dine-in Mexican good for those that come hungry. The portion sizes are usually very generous and include chips and salsa. Went here for lunch today with a group of 3 and our overall experience was pretty average. The table chips were fairly cold and stale and were never refilled. The salsa was pretty damn good, bulky with a hint of spiciness. One of us ordered the quesadilla rellena, which was a cheese quesadilla stuffed with vegetables. Unfortunately he did not detect much (if any) cheese and there was a shrimp on the end of the quesadilla. Now he has no issues with seafood, but there are obviously other people that do, and furthermore it makes me question their kitchen hygiene. Another of us ordered the burrito tapatio and thought it was decent. It was more of a giant taco and she was under the impression it would be a burrito (given the name). I ordered the chilaquiles per the suggestion of our server. I told him that I wanted something with guac and he told me he would incorporate some guac into the dish. This did not happen. However I did enjoy the meal regardless. The chicken was very tender and mixed well with the sauce and sides. Still didn't love the empty gesture. Our waiter was overall friendly and the food came fairly quickly. The tables were comfortable to sit in but were very close to each other, making it challenging to walk around, although they can clearly accommodate a lot of people. read more

To many foods micro waved which makes the food taste like cardboard prices are higher than most other Mexican restaurants

Best Mexican Food ever. I've lived soooo many places and keep coming back for that Queso.

Honestly, I get treated like an afterthought here. I often dine by myself due to my work schedule. I get awful seating and super slow service compared to when I come with a group. The last time I got a dirty glass with lipstick on it. I wish we had another option. Maybe I'll try El Toro next time. I'm thinking about going there now... I should have tried it. My fajitas came and they were delicious but no tortillas for another 15 min. read more

I was in Danville and this was one of the few places that still offered dine in, so I stopped there for lunch. They serve Mexican food. I ordered the pork torte because it's one of my favorites and I always like to try it first at any restaurant. There was also a steak option, that I will order if I am ever out there again. The servers were efficient and friendly. They all observed safety protocols, such as masks and gloves. The booths are kind of isolated. Of course, they serve me chips salsa straight off. I also ordered a strawberry margarita which was huge. I had so much brain freeze by the time I was finished with it. The pork was tender and easy to chew. The restaurant was clean. It looked like they were expanding it because there was construction going on outside. The bill was pretty fair for a dine-in restaurant. The torta was served on a sort of subway style bread which I have never seen before. There's a specific type of bread used for tortas and it's not usually subway bread. Still it was pretty tasty and very generous. The liquor per usual kind of expensive, but the food was pretty competitively priced for a dine-in restaurant. The parking was convenient, although it looks like their lot could use a little mending. read more

Back home to visit my daughter and of course had to visit our favorite Mexican restaurant. They have completely changed the decor. It now looks old western. Very clean and nice. The food of course was fabulous as always. Service was very good. The staff is friendly and attentive. I have had numerous items on the menu and you can't go wrong with whatever meal you choose. If you love Mexican food like I do, you definitely need to eat here! read more

Great Mexican restaurant. All of us had an excellent meal. Service was friendly and quick. The steak Mexicano (rib eye) was tender and cooked just right. Price was an extreme value. Would definitely return. read more

I have never had a bad meal at this location. Service is always above average or better. We go here about twice a month. Great to see that they survived the worst of the pandemic. read more

It's a good Mexican restaurant clean they need to work on their English and understanding and comprehension of it but overall the food is good! read more

The food was decent, but not amazing. I asked for no cheese on my burrito, and sure enough, it came with cheese. We were told 10 minutes for takeout (2 vegetarian burritos) and it took 20. The reason why you're not seeing any COVID-19 updates on this yelp page is because the business isn't following any state orders. No customers wearing masks, and only about 1/2 the staff wearing masks. Cooks wore masks below their noses. Definitely not recommended. read more

Yummy, Yummy, Yummmy..... did I say Yummy. Best Mexican Food I have ever had. I sometimes come back to Danville just to eat there.

Best plate of Mexican food I've had in a while. Price was great as well. Will be back

I have seen some of these reviews with things like "Burger tiny and burnt not very good" and "Fried chicken sandwich was over cooked hard". That's American food. Why did you bother to come to La Potosina? Also, La Potosina is *not* Taco Bell (where you feel it that night and the next day as well). Taco Bell is "Americanized" food, not *real* Mexican food. Please don't stoop to that comparison. In the numerous times I have been to La Potosina, they have been courteous, kind and very attentive. I find that when I am respectful and kind, it goes a very long way because of the people who aren't. I have been *all over* Mexico and the food at La Potosina is quality fare from the San Luis Potosi area. And it's good. Some of the best *real* Mexican food you will find in the whole area. read more

Favorite place to eat in Danville!!! My family and I have been going to LaPot for years and never had a bad experience. Two thumbs up!! read more

One of my favorite Mexican places in the U.S. The food is excellent and rates a 5-star authentic. I have eaten Mexican style food in Texas and in California (San Jose), and this place tops them all. I have eaten there for several years now, so the consistency has been there. The food is hot and fresh and extremely tasty, the service is "fast", and you can even get Mexican Pepsi :-), Modelos Beers .... I haven't tried their margaritas yet ... so I have to hold off on that review. If you are driving through I-74 and pass through Danville ... this place is the best place to stop for food between Champaign/Urbana IL and Indy .... (discounting the cities of course ... Since Danville IL is a depressed economic area, the prices are really good (comparing them to the Bay Area :-) ). What impresses me is how well the owner has improved the facility and how wonderful the service staff is .... I just wish I could speak Spanish to tell them so .... +-ADT read more

I ordered chicken tacos. The beef tacos that I received did not amuse me. I've always wanted to know where Doritos gets their chips before they put spices on them . . . now I know. Highlight of the night . . . the urinal, and the Pepsi. The Pepsi was really good. If I wanted to have a slightly spicy taste in my mouth and a bowling ball in my stomach I would've gone to Taco Bell. I'll let you know if it stays down . . . read more

I really enjoyed my visit at LaPotosina. I have been a couple of times, its one of my sister's favorites where she lives. I took my husband the last time, he loved it! Great food, cheap prices, margaritas, clean bathroom, decent service. We will be back! read more

La Potosina is a pay-day favorite. It has been a Mexican-food mainstay in Danville for over a decade, and with crowds that keep this place hopping it's pretty clear that they have a good thing going. The service is prompt and friendly, even when there is a crowd. The burritos, fajitas and quesadillas are certainly good, if not exceptional. I'd skip ground beef entrees, the tacos, chile rellenos and enchiladas--they're the only real misses on the menu. There are some hidden menu gems here: The chilaquiles (stewed tortillas with chicken and cheese) are noteworthy; the pechuga frita (grilled chicken topped with grilled onions and cheese) and pechuga potosino (grilled chicken topped with grilled onions, peppers, chorizo and cheese) are exceptional; the botana (nachos topped with grilled chicken, jalapeños and four cheese quesadillas) is different and very good; and the camarones aculpoco (shrimp wrapped in bacon and topped with a spicy pepper mix and melted cheese) might be the spiciest dish in Vermilion County. There is another smaller La Potosina location at 3363 N. Vermilion Street--it was the original spot here in town and it has the same menu. read more

Best Mexican food in Central Illinois. The salsa is made fresh, but it varies...some days it's that perfect medium "heat" and other days it needs some hot sauce added for my taste. I recommend the Pechuga Frita (Chicken Breast with grilled onions, cheese sauce, tortillas, rice, and beans), the Burrito Potosina with Shrimp, or the Shrimp Fajitas. The Fiesta Fajitas (steak, chicken, and shrimp) are also very good. Any dishes with "Colorado" in them are extremely spicy. I've had nothing on the menu that wasn't good, although the tacos and other ground beef dishes are unremarkable. However, anyone who goes to an authentic Mexican restaurant and orders ground beef tacos will probably think they are just fine. Treat yourself to a chicken, or shrimp dish which are excellent. The service is almost always excellent as well. read more

This place isn't bad but the food is very bland. Prices are decent. 7 people. Free chips and salsa. Salsa was bland we added hot sauce and salt not much to crushed tomatoes. They need to get new salsa and not serve it in a pitcher. Chips were ok. Verde with chicken was weird more sweet like it was made with pineapple. It was not great. Burger tiny and burnt not very good. ,fries were nice size and a good portion. Two tacos one chicken one meat no flavor. Add some seasoning. Fried chicken sandwich was over cooked hard. Again came with fries they were nice portion and were ok. Chicken fajitas the peppers and tomatoes were huge they didn't slice them. Came out hot but no flavor tasted like a grill no seasoning. Service was great,very nice ,friendly and quick. Which was nice since we were traveling through. Good luck. read more

Was looking forward to trying this place to see what the fuss was all about but was very disappointed. The server was abrupt and not very personable. Just seemed like he was churning through tables and trying to get people in and out super quick. The food was ok, portions small. Was offered no refill on the chips but was offered a refill at other Mexican restaurants in the area. Not a place I would return to again. read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat. I had the taco fajita camaron. It was large, hot, and delicious--and it came very quickly! Came with chips and salsa but no other sides, which have to be ordered separately. It was big enough for me to take half home again for lunch. My waiter was a little abrupt, but maybe he didn't expect to get a big tip from a single gal dining alone. He was friendly with the regulars, though, and there are a lot of them! Parking lot was practically full. read more

Good food and good service always plus you can relax and never feel rushed it's the best around

We love this place. It is a great stopping place between Indy and Champaign. Everything we have tried has been yummy. Great service too!

We stopped there on 09-24-2020 for lunch, having driven in from Chicago. The ambiance was good, the food was great and the service was very good. We enjoyed our meal and would stop in again. read more
