El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill

Nice friendly service. Camarones a la Diabla was excellent. “Skinny” Margarita made with all lime juice also great. Going back.

We’ve been to over a dozen Tex-Mex restaurants in the area and this place blew us away. Nothing comes close! We ordered Queso w/ Chips, Enchilada al Mole, and Chimichanga. Their homemade Salsa is delicious. Their Queso is the best we’ve had in Massachusetts. The Mole sauce was excellent (I use Mole sauce as a barometer for Mexican restaurants). 10/10.

Normally I don’t get crazy excited about Mexican food, but El Potro changed my mind about that. This by far has been my best experience with Mexican food in Boston, and I’d recommend El Potro to anyone craving the Mexican comfort food and comfort vibes! Even the refried beans (I normally order all rice) were tasty and not mushy at all. What we ordered: Guacamole: solid guac, no complaints. They give a lot too Tamale: presented beautifully and was delicious, packed with pork and topped with a hot sauce. Chile Relleno: bell pepper stuffed with very juicy carnitas and topped with a nice portion of melted cheese, not skimpy but not too overwhelming. This was my boyfriend's and my favorite dish! Enchilada Trio: 3 shredded beef enchiladas with green, red, and mole sauce. Their mole uses a semisweet chocolate (rather than the bitter dark you find at most restaurants that I don't like), this was a surprising hit for me! The red sauce one was my favorite. We had Churros and Fried Ice Cream for dessert, and the fried ice cream was HUGE. I wouldn't have been able to finish it myself.

Typical casual Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. Was craving for some Mexican food late at night and decided to got carne asada from this place. Overall steak and the sides were a bit salty and I didn’t like how the meat was too lean and dry. However, I did enjoy their choice of veggies on the side.
