My wife and I came to this restaurant since it was highly rated. We drove from Fredericksburg to try it out. Well, it was great all around. Food was delicious. I had the "Carnitas" plate and my wife had the "Taco Salad" minus the beef. Additional guacamole was served with the Taco to compensate for dropping the beef. We were seated in the screened area which we liked very much. The ambiance was good. The main area was full since we arrived a 12 noon. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Ample parking in front, side and rear of the building. We plan to return to sample other items on the menu. read more

Los Tres Potrillos - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Harper, Texas

Oh yum. What a gem. Clean small town diner with honest food and great service. Clearly I'm not the only one who thinks so, this place is ALWAYS busy. This diner is well worth the drive, I love the quesadillas!!! read more

Clean and cheerful, this yummy Harper outpost is definitely worth the drive from Kerrville or Fredericksburg. The staff are very friendly and efficient, bringing our coffees within 3 minutes of ordering. Excellent coffee, hot and fresh and served in great handmade ceramic mugs. The round shape was perfect for warming hands on a chilly winter morning. Awesome micheladas, too. The Mexican breakfast burrito was filled with deliciousness. Cheesy and flavorful, it's a filling meal with eggs a la Mexicana (onions and chiles and tomato) and chorizo and TexMex red chile gravy over the top. The cheese enchiladas and eggs were spectacular, and were served with equally excellent refried beans. Pro tip: cover your eggs, enchiladas, or burrito with equal amounts of the complex green and red salsas, conveniently served in pancake syrup pourers. This is the second visit for the family, the first being lunch a month earlier. Enchiladas verde, Jalisco (carne asada) burrito, and a California burrito (with french fries inside). Equally delicious. Highly recommended. read more

Great food. Great service! Always! This is our go to and it's always great. They have the best queso on the planet, no joke!

Open, but crowded on Mondays (the only other restaurant is closed). Outdoor seating, and service, good tea sweet or unsweetened. Lunch specials are $8.99 include drink, options are basically 4-5 different enchilada options, carne guisada, or tacos. Food is well-seasoned, but not overpowering. They appear to have a full bar and beer selection. Pay at counter. This place (Harper, TX) is growing with a lot of out of town guests and transplants, but seems to have a "not-just locals only" welcome feel. read more

Excellent stopover going to New Mexico. The food was tasty and the folks are friendly. We hope to come here again

The speed of service was very good. The food was the hottest (temp) I have ever experienced. I ordered the ground beef burrito lunch special. The food quality was average, with very reasonable pricing. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Los Tres Potrillos, and I would definitely return! read more

Los Tres Potrillos - Meeting our parents for lunch and must say that this meal was outstanding! The service beats all others out there as well! - Mexican Near Me - Harper, Texas

I think this is the finest Mexican restaurant around. I've eaten there many times and have never been disappointed. Their homemade tortillas are excellent and most Mexican restaurants use store bought. I've never had a bad meal. The service is outstanding. I'm not much of a drinker but I'm pretty much an expert on Margaritas and theirs are just average. Other than that, top notch place. And it's clean and modern but still comfortable and homey. read more

The food is delicious and the service is excellence! They are patient with kids, and the covered patio is nice for lunch.

Always good food! Their fajitas are plentiful and cooked to perfection and their rice and beans were very good also. We had the sopapillas for dessert and they were nice and fluffy. I ordered them plain with a side of honey. Their service has always been outstanding. read more

Great chips and salsa; the Chimichanga was not fried as I am used to, but served with cheese sauce, rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro. The portion size was just about right and the service was x excellent. I would definitely eat here again--good value! read more

Extremely busy little place but to be expected. It's the only thing open for dinner. The staff was super fast, friendly and on it at all times. The food was great. Very happy with the beef fajitas for 2. Will definitely go back on our way thru Harper read more

We just happen to stumble upon this gem! Outstanding food and service. I got the bacon and chicken quesadilla and my husband got the taco plate. The food was so delicious A must stop! read more

As professional Mexican food connoisseurs, from Houston, we know what we are talking about, so trust us when we say that this place is amazing. The chicken was so fresh, we would not have been surprised if they had a coop in the back yard. They also make their salsa from scratch, was stunning on the palate. Everyone in our party was in love with their dinner and we had picky eaters with us. The kids hamburgers smelled like they were cooked off an outdoor grill. Everyone, it's worth the wait for this place!!!! read more

Los Tres Potrillos - Mexican Near Me - Harper, Texas

Los Tres Potrillos in Harper Texas was great! Margarita flight was yummy! I have had the chicken over rice and the lunch special for chicken fajitas, both were wonderful. The service is nice and fast. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. read more

If you are looking for something a bit different, try the puffy tacos. The breakfast menu has a wide selection of traditional and fresh Mexican specialties like migas. The food is fresh and well prepared as well as tasty. I love the lunch specials, but the healthy entrees like the shrimp bowl make choposing difficult. The tortillas taste freshly made. They have fully stocked bar that looks mighty tempting. The staff is always friendly and quick to make sure your requests are fulfilled. It is a hidden gem of consistent good food in Harper. read more

Food is always good. Staff is friendly and service is prompt. The atmosphere is laid back same family oriented.

Great place to stop if you're road-tripping your way across west Texas. Great quality and super authentic Tex-Mex.

We've had breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks and have not been disappointed. Food was good, hot and tasty. Service was great.

Good food, great staff. Very friendly for breakfast and lunch!! We go several times a month with friends and alone!

Authentic Mexican food. Everything is good. And I mean everything! Home made tortillas. The specialty fajitas are amazing-both options. Carnitas are juicy and crispy. The soups are flavorful and full of ingredients. If you order the nachos they are plenty for two. Shrimp salad is perfect for a light dinner. I could go on and on but you need to try for yourself. read more

Nice place with great service and food. Obviously a favorite for many. We will be back.

Friendly, clean and not over price. Very good service and the Rita's is what you need after a long day at the horse track. Patio is a good size so don't hesitate because of some silly pandemic. read more

We live outside the small town of Harper Texas and we are lucky enough to have 2 awesome restaurants. We've eaten at Los Tres Potrillos countless times and have loved it each and every time. I've tried breakfast, lunch and dinner you name it I've probably had it, each were very good with fast & friendly staff. My personal favorite is #14 read more

Staff is extremely friendly food is good , prices are fair and margaritas are excellent!

I'll give them 3 stars for a pretty good breakfast of huevos rancheros a few days before the supper fiasco next described. The frozen margarita was so bitter I had to dope it up with sugar. It went downhill from there when the fajitas arrived. They appeared to have been cooked in a crock-pot. The meat was tough and greasy. I can't describe the horrible taste. I attempted to get it down by drowning it in hot sauce. I finally gave up and tried to salvage a little value out of the $32 I was rooked out of by taking the rest home to my dog. To my surprise the dog gave the meat a good review and, so far, has exhibited no bad side effects. However, it took 36 hours, several brushings and gargling with mouthwash to get the oil slick out of my mouth. Adios, Los Tres Potrillos. read more

Absolute gem. The quality is outstanding. The prices are reasonable. The facilities are clean. The service is courteous. They have a patio perfect for Covid times. Please have the Mangonada. You won't regret it. We're not from around Harper (we drove from the Texas gulf coast) and were starving when suddenly found this place. Had very low expectations, and boy were we pleasantly surprised. read more
