    $30 dlls. For a chilaquiles plate? Idk

    $30 dollars per a chilaquiles plate? This is one of the most expensive chilaquiles i eat ever.

    Potzolcano is seriously so good! On the weekends it gets super busy with long waits, so weekdays are the best time to come if you want a more relaxed vibe. My husband and I always order the chilaquiles--they're amazing every single time--and their café de olla is the perfect cozy touch. The back patio is my favorite spot, surrounded by greenery and a laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel like you're enjoying a meal in a little hidden garden. It's the perfect place to enjoy authentic Mexican food.

    If you want authentic and delicious posole, then this is the place for you. I grew up eating white posole and this reminds me of my childhood and did not dissapoint. I have also tried their chilaquiles con pollo, their mole enchiladas and my favorite, their cafe de olla which you will even want to order to go. The servers are so kind and welcoming. Do not pass on this place. They have a bathroom and small television and there is seating indoor and a small patio outside. Parking is a bit tough as it is a small shopping center. Even so, I have never had any issues. I highly recommend this place as it is one of my top posole places in orange county.

    Very good Mexican Restaurant! Came here for the Chilaquiles for brunch and it comes with a coffee, fruit, and bread for free!! Additionally the plates are very big so one will fill you up! Server was very sweet as well.

    Great food, great service, but the piece de rèsistance is the café de olla. It just hits the spot. They bring you a bolillo with the coffee.. dip your bread in it, OMG! LOVE IT!

    Although the wait to be seated is always long, whether the place is full or not, the food is always great which is why we keep returning. This time we tried their Enchiladas del Patron and Enchiladas Queretanas. The Patron were amazing! Plate was left clean. The chipotle cream sauce is not too spicy or creamy, just right. The Queretanas have a great flavor but for my liking I thought they were too dry. If they were only dipped in salsa a bit more, they would have tasted like home enchiladas from Jalisco made from Guajillo chile.

    They have a nice outside patio also.

    Hello to all. Just stopped by this place with friend to have breakfast. Being that this is my first time, I'll be honest the service and ambience was great. The place inside is fully decorated nicely. After looking at the menu and prices. The entrees are a little pricey but you get your moneys worth especially if you order there café de olla. They'll keep bringing it if you ask. I had the Emfrijoladas con chorizo but you can order them with panela cheese or chicken if you don't want chorizo. It was delicious. They have an outside patio also.

    Pozole de pollo. Notice the date 2013! Yup, we've been coming here for over 11 years. Wouldn't change a thing!

    Prices are different from when you order in the restaurant then when you eat there. We paid $82 for 3 dishes.

    What time do you close during weekdays?

    they close at 6pm on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They are closed on Wednesday. I don't know about Monday

    Do they have gift certificates?

    Hi Cami! We do not have gift certificates

    Do they have red pozole? Not a huge fan of green.

    It's actually Jalisco style (white) Pozole "blanco" but they serve red salsa on the side - it's super delicious!

Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

    This was a great spot for dinner. The drinks were also delicious…read more I see that the restaurant had mixed reviews but honestly, our group of 4 all enjoyed our meal. It was a perfect date night! I ordered the mole enchiladas and they did not disappoint. The margaritas were tasty and the warm chips and salsa tasted amazing too. We spoke to the owner on the way out, as he thanked us for being there. And also let us know they also do brunch! Looking forward to coming back.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.
