From the moment you step inside, you're met with an inviting, lively ambiance where the warmth of traditional flavors meets a casual, welcoming dining atmosphere ideal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The menu at El Potosino is a celebration of Mexican culinary artistry featuring an impressive variety of dishes that satisfy hearty appetites and adventurous palates.

Don’t overlook the variety of Gorditas, each priced affordably at $4.50, stuffed with fillings like chorizo con queso and huevo en salsa roja, inviting you to savor multiple flavors in one visit.

    I found this place by accident, and I'm glad that I did. The food was delicious and the service was great. I had beef quesadillas as an appetizer and the shrimp with fish plate. The quesadilla came out quick and was on point. The meat and tortilla were cooked to perfection. Not to mention the fish and shrimp. I've had fish from Fred's, Long John's, Rudy's, Sea Island, J Anthony's, and more but none can compare to the breading here. The fish and shrimp were so flavorful and prepared flawlessly. The gorgeous servers were sweet and always had a smile. Definitely my new go to spot when I'm in the area.

    Change the Carne Guisada taco price ! $4.99 is crazy for a single taco. Chorizo and egg taco is good. I eat the morning specials daily which is $1.29.

    I grabbed some lunch and had no clue what this place was about. I had a light lunch but wanna try more. The gorditas were really good. I liked the TVs with sports, and it seems like they have a bar. I'll have to try dinner and a drink with the wife to see how this place really is. I really liked my food but my waitress wasn't very friendly or helpful. She acted like she didn't wanna be there. I hope next time I get a better experience.

    Although the food is delicious I’m going to lead with you are likely not going for the food but the ambience. The service was great although I’d like the music lowered at least for breakfast or lunch hours.

    First time visit to the Restaurant and the food was very good. Although, the waitress brought the wrong food for 2 of the 5 in our party. There appears to be a full bar and plenty of seating. Mens room needed a little attention but it was during the lunch hour so I cannot blame them to much. Overall a nice lunch.
