I've spent years in this town as a college student and after, yet for some reason I've never had the opportunity to eat here before. So finally after all these years, I came here with my dad. Service was fast and helpful. There are many tables and places to sit. They have a large menu too. I ordered the Beef Chimichangas with all the sides, and my dad had the Chicken Fajitas. Food came out pretty quick. I will say, the portion size is incredible. The price is reasonable depending on the time you come for lunch or dinner, and they give you so much. For me, I love all the sides and some places tend to give a meager amount, but not this place. And they didn't even cheap out on the guacamole amount too. I had some to take home at the end, so I was happy about that. Although the food was decent and plentiful, I will say that it lacked flavor for me. It wasn't amazing in comparison to all the Mexican places I've tried around the area. And also I guess from eating Mexican food in California, I have a high standard. Like I reiterated before, great portion size but a little disappointing regarding the flavor. It felt like it was missing something, maybe a little salt but also something more that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if I would come back. read more

Los Potros - Beef Chimichangas - Mexican Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

Chips: Average. Salsa: A tad better than average for Mexican restaurants in the South. Food: Maybe 3 stars. At least they served an adequate amount of sauce with the enchilada, something that doesn't happen nearly enough. Service: 1-2 stars. Out of the four employees I encountered, only one managed a fake smile, and none gave a happy hoo-haw about whether I had a good experience or not. Value: 4 stars for my $5.99 lunch special. Ambience: Average. read more

Not good at all. The food was very average at best. The service was good but that's about it.

Good service good food at a reasonable price. Very consistent. I like to order their specials but have also had the quesadilla which was very good. Chorizo dip is generous portion and yummy. read more

I loved the flautas papas, staff was very friendly, the place is clean, sets a good mood, overall one of the best places around here.

This place is THE spot locals go to! Food is an amazing price (especially compared to everything else in the area), a variety of options, and family owned! They also have a good amount of seating for the size and have been around for a very long time! Highly recommend read more

Food is always delicious. Good service. Prices are great. Great location. Would recommend.

Reliably good food and service with many selections. Portion sizes are very large producing enough leftovers for another meal.

Passing through and needed to grab a bite with the family. Mexican food is generally a good fit. They had outside seating and employees wore masks, but the menus were not cleaned and they had no visible hand sanitizer for guests. The prices are terrific. You can get a3 item combo for. $8. Portions are on the smaller side, but that's ok. I had the chili poblano, beef taco and beef burrito. The ground beef had a nice seasoning but was on the salty side. For $1 extra we had the cheese sauce added over the dish. Well worth it! So good even though I did ask for the red sauce and cheese and only got the cheese, it was still good. The service was fast. The server was friendly. Prices good. Easy parking. read more

First time and won't be our last! We live south East of Rossville, Ga., in Lawrenceville, Ga. We visited family in Rossville and went after church to have lunch. The service was great, the food had me cleaning my plate and the prices had us smiling! It's a really good basic Mexican restaurant and for me, that's as good as it gets. read more

Thought we would give it a try since we hadn't been in a long time. Well we had to walk out because no ine would wait on us. Others came after us and were waited on but I guess we were invisible. read more

Pretty good food, the salsa they give you with the chips tastes like V8 juice with cilantro, we had to ask for hot sauce and salt to doctor it up a little. I'm from California and Las Vegas where Mexican food is the best. I must say for as popular as this place is in Ooltewah I'd rather eat at Taco Bell. The south doesn't know good Mexican food. I won't go there again. read more

Their food is awesome! The people are great, too! Good value for the money ! We used to eat here once or twice a month! Jalisco burrito is amazing! And we love the veggie Tex mex bean burrito dinner! read more

So I wasn't expecting a 5 star lunch on a busy Sunday afternoon where I had to wait in the cold to even get in to wait for a seat. Being my first time at this restaurant and being alone, I just wanted to eat and get on my way. My server was super busy, but was able to take my order quickly and bring the chips and salsa straight away. I ordered the steak quesadilla. It said made with ribeye, however I wasn't holding my breath. Although it took a bit of time to come out (like I said, they were super busy), I must say that it was the BEST steak quesadilla I have ever had! Super flavorful, and you could cut it with your fork. I now cant wait to go back and have since told several people about my world famous quesadilla!! Yum Yum!! read more

BEST MEXICAN IN CHATTANOOGA AREA! I love Los Potros! They offer large portions, delicious food, many vegan and vegetarian options, and a great atmosphere. I've tried so many Mexican places around Chatt, and Los Potros BLOWS THEM ALL OUT OF THE WATER! read more

Love this place! Burritos are good, tacos are good, quesadillas are good! Very nice people who work here.

When it comes to Mexican food I am extremely picky because I have been very blessed to have eaten authentic Hispanic food throughout my life. Because of this I don't eat at majority of the Mexican restaurants in the area, but Los Portos is one of my top three. There are so many pros aside from the food. The customer service has also been wonderful and the place is always extremely clean. I never fear going into the bathroom because I know it's very well kept. read more

This is a regular spot for us. I won't claim it to be best Mexican food I've ever had but it's solid. The service is always very fast. The prices are always reasonable. The atmosphere is great. Service is wonderful. Bathrooms clean. And they have a special of the day which makes this a great lunch spot. We eat here often and thankful to have a place like this so close. read more

Excellent service. We had a party of eight tonight and the server did a fantastic job keeping our drinks full, salsa replenished and chips baskets full. The menu is large. The food was pretty good and the portions were nice. I really liked their salsa. Unfortunately there is no beer or any other alcohol available but the server told us that that could be changing in a few months. read more

We just moved to Collegedale and had to check out the local Mexican restaurants. We LOVED this place. Clean, great service, and the food was perfectly seasoned! We will be returning at least once a week! I think we found our go to Mexican place. read more

This is not really one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I wouldn't necessarily choose this place if I had a craving for authentic Mexican also to me this place can be a little bit pricey amount of food that you get. I think that if you go to Southern, experience tasting this food. Not the best choice , but it gets the job done . read more

They give you salsa in a little vase and it tastes good. Chips and salsa get a solid 4/5 Staff have always been friendly to me. We've shown up kinda close to closing and I didn't feel good about it but it was a group thing but they were very gracious and we tipped well. The food is pretty good. I'd say averaging around a 4.5/5 for this class of Mexican food and prices aren't terrible. I'm a vegetarian and there's lots of options which is nice. The decorations are very cute and I love the outside but still covered seating. read more

Wonderful dinner! Adam special my favorite ever! Everyone needs to come support such fast courteous and delicious food!!!

Service is always good, food is always fantastic, the poblanos are perfectly hot! I had the #13 and my wife had the #34. Great service! This place is one of our favorites to come and eat. read more

Absolutely loved Los Potros. From the moment you walk in, the staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered something that wasn't even on the menu and the chef was accommodating and it was really delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Francisco was quick to come to our table and even noticed when we needed something before we were getting his attention. Overall, the food was delicious and authentic. Would definitely recommend and go back when I'm in that area. read more

This is what you get when you order a taco salad with CHICKEN and cheese--no peppers! A salad? Not a shred of lettuce or tomato and no sour cream!!! And it was STEAK!!! I guess if you can't speak ENGLISH you should not be taking food orders in America!!! Unbelievable!!! If you plan to do an order to go, you had better check it before you leave!! read more

Los Potros - Mexican Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

Our family and in-laws comprising a party of six had dinner here for our son's birthday as he wanted nachos. As he only had cheese on chips it was hard to fail on that dish. The rest of us however were horrified at the nasty concoctions we were served. The beans were burnt and the cheap meats were attempting to hide amidst over-seasoning (especially heavy on the anise of all things). The remaining ingredients such as tortillas were tasteless and limp. I've had much better at Taco Bell. You might as well get a frozen burrito from the bottom of the freezer at a dirty old gas station and reheat it in their wimpy microwave instead of eating here. The service and cleanliness was equally disappointing and we all vowed never to darken their doors again. read more

Oh Los Potros. I spent many a college lunch at this place, and loved it all through college. It's cheap, it's fast, and it's close by. All of those things are still true (and still very valuable!), but I suppose my tastes may have shifted a bit since college. While in college, I might have given 4 stars. Being post college and visiting here while in town visiting family... I guess it's lost it's luster. The lunches at Los Potros as a means of escape from campus life just doesn't quite hold true when I know have a lot more options, and honestly more money to spend. The food was pretty much what I expected from Los Potros... cheese, beans, meat. It's not you Los Potros, it's me. Like I said... still cheap (never a bad thing), still really fast, still really close by. read more

I am a regular here. Everyone here knows me and just tonight they asked where my Daughter was, who usually comes with me. I'm here at least once a week. The food is excellent no matter what I order. read more

Good food at a great price and quick service as well. My favorite is the tacos al carbon with steak, it's almost more than I can finish. Seldom a wait because they really move quickly on the food in the kitchen, and a great friendly staff. Don't forget to ask for the spicy salsa with your chips, it is fantastic! read more
