The best!

by runnamucks at Citysearch

I have eaten Mexican all over the United States, and as far as quality, price and (especially) service, you can do no better than El Potro. Screw all the competition and college-kid tex mex.

The search is over!

I grew up in South Texas, 5 minutes from the border, and my family is from Mexico. The past two years I have lived in Orlando and have been searching for decent Mexican food with no luck, until now (I have to say Orlando has the worst Mexican food I have had.) Today I ran into El Potro and decided to try it out. The fajitas were awesome. They tasted "meaty" and were seasoned just right. The rice and beens were flavorful and the guacamole was the correct texture. The salsa that they serve with the chips, is one of the best salsas I have had. I also had chicken and cheese enchiladas, which were decent. I will be visiting this restaurant from now on.

Great Mexican

by vladtheimpaler at Citysearch

I am from NY and get tired of those who think the only good food is in NY! El Porto is great, the people are friendly and we have been there several times.

• Pros: Like eating in a local place in Mexico
• Cons: Can be a crowd at lunch time, but people like the place.

I have been to Mexican restaurants (around the world) and this one is worth trying and making visiting it into a regular habit. All of the staff is very friendly and there is never a way to be dissatisfied; they will make sure that you are happy with your order. Everyone my husband and I have taken there, really enjoys it. The prices are right and there is a great dinner and lunch buffet! This is a great place for celiac and vegetarians!!! They will replace any flour item they can with corn, just ASK!!! And this place has flavor- it's more like eating MEXICAN in TEXAS not like the south (like North FLA**) -for example, and if any of you are Mexican junkies; then you will know exactly what I am talking about.

** Except for an excellent Mexican Restaurant in Tallahassee called La Fiesta (they have flavor too)!!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Just make sure they understand your order ;)
