Reviews for El Potro Mexican Restaurant in Grand Rapids, MN

10 months ago I would have recommended this restaurant with five stars for both food and service. The last few times we have... eaten here have progressively fallen dangerously shy of a single star. Tonight's latest and most recent debacle: Chicken thathad soured, a waitress that couldn't be bothered and a miserable night ahead for me at home... The most disappointing part wasthat our server didn't seem to really care. Read more

Wow. Just wow. This meal was absolutely delicious, and the lunch specials are unbeatable! Got the chimichanga plate and the #10... lunch combo and including tip it was $25 (we got waters to drink). It was our first time visiting and we will be back!! Often! Read more

Great fajitas, but they charge you for more than one tortilla at $2 a pop - unbelievable! Extra cilantro? $2. Extra onion? $2.... Salsa was very good, tortilla chips just mediocre, Margaritas were good. Limited choices for Mexican in the area so I suppose itwill have to do. Read more

Great Mexican Food in Northern Minnesota! Was surprised how much I loved this little locally owned restaurant. Great food, giant... margaritas, chips and salsa. This place is a hidden gem. I've been several times over the years. Would recommend any of theirburritos, huge and delicious. A few nice hot sauce options available. They have vegetarian options. Highly recommend. Read more

Decent food, but know that the wait is very long. The parking lot is hard to navigate (don't even think about stopping here with... any sort of bus, trailer, camper, or RV). The staff are always super friendly! Questionable fake tree inside ???? Read more

Always a great time here. Food and service is top notch. Great restaurant in Grand Rapids. Our favorite Mexican food outside of... my home state of Texas. Read more

I had the shrimp fajitas. The shrimp fajitas were not Wells seasoned at all. My daughter had the cheese quesadilla meal with... fries and the fries were wayyyy to crispy so my daughter could not even finish her food. The Daiquiri was ok ( I had pinacolada) nothing extra ordinary. I mean I rated 4 stars because my waiter was nice. I had too high of an expectation for thisplace. In my experience it was ok.

Everything we ordered was wonderful. We were happy to find great Mexican restaurant up north - the waitress was covering so many... tables and not missing a beat. She was doing a awesome job keeping up while it was extremely busy. Not only that but shememorized our order and didn't forget any of the changes we requested. She is a very sweet girl with tattoos on her forearms.(If she reads reviews) we want her to know she was doing a great job. She paid special attention to our sons food allergies andmade sure everything he got was ok for him. We really appreciated that. UPDATE: 4 months after our 1st and only visit we hadthe same waitress. She remembered us and that we were at the same table as before. Again the service & food was wonderful andshe is amazing. Read more
