    Vegan fajitas
    Christopher A.

    Had the Vegan fajitas and they were great. Big pile of broccoli, carrots, onion, cauliflower and peppers. The service was good.

    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.

    Burrito tapatio (lunch)
    Michael I.

    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.

    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.

    There is really nothing bad to say about Buen Apetito! The restaurant is a little off the beaten…read morepath and honestly not marked well. There is no indication that the adorable building is a restaurant at all - no signage indicating such. Once inside, the restaurant is clean and the aromas are amazing!!! The first telltale sign of good Mexican, to me, is the salsa. In this case, I wasn't sure our experience would go one way or the other. The salsa was completely edible, but not exciting. However, our food arrived and we were astonished at the quality and freshness of the ingredients and the perfect preparation! I ordered the pechugas, and I have NEVER had such delicious chicken in my life. My plate had 2 thinly sliced, tender chicken breasts, a salad, fresh refried beans, and rice for $8.50! My husband and I ordered a hearty appetizer (panchos), 2 entrees, and drinks, took home leftovers, and our bill totaled less than $31. Our server was sweet and attentive throughout our dining experience and we heard her give our compliments to the chef. We are in the area a few times a year and will definitely be returning. We also told everyone we knew around there how great Buen Apetito is, and I know there will be a few more new regulars out of that. Why are you still reading this? Just go!

    Walked in on a Sunday at 11am and the place was full. I take that as a good sign…read more We were meeting up with friends and they had already gotten a table. Our waitress came to take our drink order right away and we all decided to get the breakfast buffet. That was a great choice. Several options on the buffet. I liked that you could get hashbrowns and scrambled eggs plain or with peppers and fixings mixed in. They had a good jalapeno egg option too. Pancakes, waffles or french toast. Grits. Tortilla soup. Bacon, sausage links or ham for meats plus sausage gravy and biscuits. Tried a bit of everything except the soup and enjoyed it all. I did find the need for some salt and pepper on the potatoes and eggs but that's typical of a buffet. The only thing I would have liked to have seen added to the buffet was some cheese. It would have been nice to have for the eggs and/or the grits. Another add would be some berries for the pancakes and waffles or even some small packs of peanut butter. They kept the buffet stocked and made sure it was tidy. I love that they have a fresh squeezed orange juice station if you want some fresh ok it's available. The waitress checked back on us regularly for coffee and water. They didn't even seem to mind that we lingered for a while after we were done eating just visiting and catching up. Seems to be a family friendly meet up spot where you can eat and hang out for a bit. Definitely worth a visit. You'll be able to get full and the food is tasty.
