After 200 visits I will never come back. My server would not come to my table. I had to flag down other employees to take my drink order ,and then my food order,and then to get my drink ,and also to get my food. When the server showed up I told her part of my order did not come ,and she did nothing. Then the manager comes and asks how everything was and I told him. He then made a line of excuses. I then asked him to just bring my bill because The server might never come and I didn't want to see her if she did. He then started to talk down to me and repeatedly (that's not right). We have other Mexican restaurants near by and I will visit them from here out. read more

If you're searching for authentic, soul-satisfying Mexican cuisine, Las Potrancas is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality.

Personal amable, sevicio a buen tiempo y su comida muy buena! si los recomiendo. 5 estrellas para todo su equipo incluyendo al personal en la cocina. read more

Loved my dinner here! I had the 2 tamale dinner. The service was excellent, with chips and salsa coming out as we were seated. The "small" margarita was big! And delicious. Everything on my plate was very tasty and authentic Mexican. It's a colorful friendly family restaurant. Will come again! read more

Best Mexican food in arvada! The salsa is amazing. We get the fajitas and the lacho combo . Heavenly

Food, when covered with green chili, is superb. Service speed depends on the number of customers. Fairly prompt and friendly. Ambiance--bring your own. read more

Food was mid, I was catching up with a friend so we were there a little bit longer than the average diner. I was aware of how busy they were and made sure no body was waiting for a table. There were several open tables and they basically told us to leave because they needed the table. I thought that was rude of them, I tipped well due to us staying a little longer. Not sure the food was worth going back, there are several other choices that are the same quality/pricing with much better service. read more

Do not order on line if you get the location wrong you have to go to the location that you ordered from that was wrong . They are not accommodating! I will never go back. read more

Our local favorite Mexican restaurant! Fantastic queso, great margaritas, nice waitstaff, and fun location! We love the steak fajitas, tamales, Chile rellenos, quesabirria tacos, cheese enchiladas, and fried jalapeños! Chips and salsa have a nice kick! Will keep coming back! read more

Las Potrancas - Combo 16, queso dip and steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

We like the food here, and it's close. That being said they raised their prices about 5 to 6 dollars per plate. It's just too expensive to go there now for Mexican food and the place usually may be half full on a good night. I think they shot themselves in the foot with a new menu and higher ($20+) prices for dinner. read more

Disgusting! Bland, cold food. My family and I were disgusted. the service was terrible. I guess the ambiance was fine. seemed sort of chaotic. I got a peek of the kitchen when I ran my kids to the bathroom, yikes. Don't eat here. read more

My husband and I love this place, we lived near this restaurant for years and after we sold our house, we moved out of the area. Now we moved back and absolutely love the place and our favorite server is Edmundo . Keep up the great work ! read more

I would give them an average rating, not bad, not great. First off I would like to point out, that they had a couple of signs on the door stating masks required. But I saw a family come in when 3 teenage boys and a mother come in, one of the boys started to put on a masks, but the mother told him he didn't need it. They spoke to the hostess for seating, but nothing was said, there was a lot of people in the lobby area, therefore no social distancing. Once seated I saw a waiter, sometimes a mask on, other times no mask at all. And they had a very young busboy that was more often than not, his mask was under his chin. Now to the meal. I was very hopeful, as they brought us chips, the salsa had a nice kick to it. I ordered one of the combos, it was plenty of food and the price was very reasonable. However it was bland. If you're not a fan of spicy food, this place would probably be a good choice for you. However I really want some heat when I'm enjoying Mexican food. read more

The food was really good. Just had a problem with the manager being rude several times to my wife. No excuse for that kind of behavior.

Prices went up, portion size went down. Ordered three burrito supremes and a chicken quesadilla. The quality is trending downward. Plus they forgot the guacamole, sour cream, and the green chilies. Been going here on and off for five years but this was a real disappointment. read more

Very good Mexican food. Great chips & salsa. Margaritas are decent if you upgrade. Partner would like to see Negro Modelo on draft. We love that they have a To Go burrito menu. We also love that they're open on weekends early so we can have brunch there and skip the First Watch wait. read more

With new owner, prices went up. quality went down. Rice was undercooked and refried beans a gooey glob Quality about the same as the old Casa Bonita. Used to be really good Mexican food. read more

We lived near the Arvada location for 16 years and this was our go-to spot. We moved away 3 years ago, and I have been searching for a replacement ever since, to no avail. We ended up in the area today, so we made it a point to stop for lunch. It was just as good as I remember, and it warmed my soul, like a meal at grandma's house. Hey Las Potrancas, the mountain communities need your love. Evergreen, Conifer and Bailey have no Mexican restaurants that can stand up to you! read more

This neighborhood restaurant has a great happy hour menu and more! The drinks are large, the salsa delicious, and the food yummy. We especially loved the tamales, enchiladas, beans and rice. There's plenty of seating and is family friendly. Our server did a good job and they seemed to have plenty of staff. Thumbs up! read more

Great burritos, green chili, rice and beans! The service can be shaky, really depends who you get as your sever (as a regular) read more

Had the crispy Chile Relleno and I thought it deserved 5* all by itself. Perhaps it's because I've spent too much time in Northern California and being subjected to a steady diet of below-average and soggy Chile Rellenos. Whatever the reason, I really liked how this restaurant prepared theirs. read more

Food is delicious! Best in Arvada. Raised prices recently and quality didn't go up but delicious none the less.

Service is average at best. Ridiculous that they charge $2.25 for an additional salsa, which is smaller than the small one they give you for 4 people. read more

The service is amazing. The food is always top-notch. The chili Riano nachos are to die for.

We went in to Las Portrancas(64th/Simms)on Sunday where we was a party of 6, when a party of 7 came in after us. The man in the party intimidated the young(maybe all of 14) man who was hosting to try to get them seated right away. He kept badgering the young host until the host found a table and started to get their silverware, dropping a set in the floor where upon he kicked the silverware out of the way. There was a little brother of the host that maybe was 9 or 10 who actually picked up the wrapped silverware and threw it back into the tub under the host table all the while watching us watch him do it. YUCK!!! If things like this is in the front of the restaurant what actually is happening in the kitchen? I totally understand employing young kids and support it 100% but cleanliness needs to be crucial when running a food business. Needless to say, we walked out after seeing that. We wasn't going to say anything when we was overlooked with the seating situation but once we seen the silverware incident we threw up in our mouths. THEN I tried to call the restaurant but literally no answer 2 different times. I called the next day talking to a Fernando relaying the info back to him letting him know, He told me I should have said something right away but told him there was very little help that day. He said Sunday is the only day the young kid works. When I told him we have been loyal customers for several years and actually went down the street that day for Mexican food. He told me it's ok if we went elsewhere. It didn't bother him. I was very positive as wasn't looking for anything free just wanted them to be aware of what happened. I was not expecting him to blow off the situation but now thinking maybe I should make a complaint with the state for food inspection too. Karen read more

Food was soooo tasty and service was outstanding. My sister and I eat there often and quality of food and service is always 5 star

Everything about this place screams run. The location isn't the best, the inside is disgusting. There are burn marks in the floor, the walls along with the floors are not clean. The service and employees are very rude and ignorant. Would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Had me wait for 20 minutes takeout order while food got cold on shelf behind me. Finally got order and when I got home order was wrong. Won't be back. read more

Garbage! Horrible customer service. There are too many mexican restaurants for bad management. Last week we (6 of us) ordered happy hour appetizers and drinks well within happy hour time. Explicitly ordered HAPPY HOUR while pointing to the Happy Hour Menu in our hands. Bill showed up full price. Manager and waitress both said sorry, you should have noticed the difference in plate sizes. What???? Made no effort in correcting problem, like they didn't care if we ever came back. We have been customers for years. Oh yea and loved the blacked out Cadillac Escalade parked illegally in front or restaurant. Owner's vehicle. Probably same guy that didn't care if we ever came back Don't waste your time here... read more

We came here for 8+ years. We have absolutely loved this place until today. My parents come one to two times a week for those 8 years. Today my parents showed up to get a table at 4:00pm (well before rush hour no one was there). The new manager told my parents they couldn't get a seat for our family because the whole family was there. He proceeded to tell them that people come here much more frequently and spend much more money than my family so they were told instead to sit at the bar instead of getting a table. What a slap on the face after all this time. We will not be coming back. read more

We came here during lunch. It wasn't so busy. The decor was colorful (hand panted tables and chairs) and you can buy a whole bottle of tequila and they will save it for you for your next visit. That was pretty cool. What we swallowed: COMPLIMENTARY CHIPS AND SALSA: The salsa was spicy but had good flavors. more like pace picante sauce then the chunky salsa, which I favor. It was still good tho. SUMMER PEACH SANGRIA: Our server recommended this and he was right, it was refreshing. Light, crisp and just the right amount of alcohol. CARNITAS PLATE: There was something about this plate that.. eh, it just didn't do it for me. The flavors were good but it tasted like it was cooked in a the back if a fat vat and they just slopped it on my plate. Everything was runny. It would have tasted 1000% better if they finished it off on the grill or broiled it to give it a little crispy edges, instead it was a soppy mess. I didn't really care for it. That and the fact they only gave me two tortillas. It just wasn't a pleasant carnitas experience. The chips, salsa, and drinks were good. On the fence about the food. Perhaps we'll come back after we've finished doing rounds amongst the other Mexican food joint. read more

Good food and beverages. Wish they wouldn't start mopping before the patrons leave with strong odor cleaner. It ruins the experience and you cannot smell the food over the cleaner. read more
