Three good choices include the Burrito Cancun (with larger shrimp and chicken) Burrito Fajita, and the Philly Cheese Steak Burrito. Or, order your favorite Mexican dish, you won't be disappointed.
I'm told that they also have a restaurant in Bemidji and are looking at opening one in the future near the north metro (Twin Cities). Either way, if and when I get up that way again I'm certainly stopping back!!
Good service, usually get your food quickly. All their food is good, and if you're not a picky eater and like Mexican cuisine, but not sure what to order.................
Always great food.
NO YOU CAN NOT HAVE ANY UNTIL YOU ORDER FOOD. What I have never heard of something like that. I can’t eat chips and salsa until I order food. What am I a kid. The waitress said we won’t give you any because you may not order food then. I asked for the manager. He came over and said what’s up guys. We would like chips and salsa while we look over your menu. Absolutely not I will not give you any chips and salsa into you order food from me. And the reason why could be. You may drop salsa and chips inside the menu as you’re reading it and it will get closed and somebody else may get a menu with chips and salsa in it because we don’t clean our menus. First why would you tell someone that you don’t clean your menus. Second I’m a big boy and I can clean up my own mess. Next from the Manager just give me your menus I don’t feel like serving you anything anyways. I looked at him and said this is how you treat a Marine Corps veteran. That doesn’t mean anything to me I don’t want my menus to be dirty. As I got up to leave the waitress was bringing our drink order and the manager stopped us and says you’re not leaving until you pay for those drinks. My answer is come to the parking lot and get your two dollars for that pop that I ordered. You will never catch me going anywhere near there.
Authentic Mexican. Excellent menu. Quick service. Food was amazing.
Superior service and authentic, delicious Mexican cocina! Staff are personal, environment is upbeat. A taste miles away from the northland!!
You sit down looking at the menu order some drinks it’s all good. As soon as you ask for some chips and salsa because you are from out of town and want to look the menu over.
The biggest scam in town!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Dirty Restaurant/ Rudest Staff I have ever had to deal with.
The burritos are wonderful. These are not your pick up and eat kind, they're dinner style.
About 3 months ago we were coming back from the Northern part of the Iron Range heading home to the Twin Cities when we decided we needed to stop for lunch. We didn't want "fast food" we wanted a sit down meal so my daughter Googled places to eat in Grand Rapids, El Potro came up.
It took us a while to decide what we wanted to eat since they have so much to offer! It's authentic Mexican cuisine using fresh vegetables, recipes that were passed down and others that were enhanced. The prices too were an eye opener... SO reasonable... for all the food we received we took easily half of it home!! Our food was so delicious and it went well with the tall cervezas we ordered!!
However, in the meantime my friend who was traveling with us convinced us we should eat at this other place (Americana food), since she had been there several times in the past. OMG! That place was horridly outdated, it smelled, it was disgusting! The menu was sticky & the prices were way too high!! I didn't even sit down I was the first one heading for the door!!
Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware
So back the direction we came to park at El Potro! Yay! We were immediately greeted and would have been seated promptly too but we were having so much fun "Oohhhing & Awwwing" at all the South of the Border wall hangings, paintings & kitschy items. We loved the decor!! And the chairs are so festive! We were the only ones there at the time since it was like 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was a young gal who was very nice and answered a lot of our questions about the place, the food & the owners since we were passing through.
Best salsa anywhere, and I eat Mexican when traveling out of town, out of state.
