El Potrillo#2Mexican Restaurant

BEST Mex in the Northern OBX! I’ve eaten here for six years since I am a local, and this place has never disappointed. The food is exceptional, the waiters are exceptional, and the prices cannot be beat. Our favorites include the enchiladas rancheros, the fajita taco salad, the Carnitas, and the sizzling fajita platter. The waiters have been with this restaurant for at least six years and are super accommodating and very sweet and kind. Love, love, love, try it try it try it!!!

Had a wonderful dinner at El Potrillo! The food was absolutely fantastic... fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our waiter, Yuri, made the experience even better. He was excellent, very attentive, and genuinely engaging, which made the evening feel welcoming and relaxed. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! Oh and by the way, Nancy makes the best margaritas!

Service is exceptional. Beautiful decor. Food arrives super fast. Great find when you are hungry and want something quick. They were able to make my dish without any rice or cheese. The only thing is the veggies were not fresh. They looked like a frozen veggie medley. A little disappointing, hence the 4 stars for food.

Great food, great service, great prices. Always a go-to when craving tacos & a nice ice cold beer.

The service is good many times when they remember to get things right. Some of the servers go above & beyond, while some could care less if you are there are not. My last order was wrong. I ordered a fiesta salad to go with no lettuce & no beef, but with everything else. There were 0 onions in the dish. The onions are an imperative ingredient to flavor the dish. It tasted awful. I was already home by the time I opened it, so was too late to do anything about it. Because of the language barrier, no one there speaks or understand english very well. I would never call on the phone, that would be suicide on my part. Unfortunately, this is a problem that happens too often at this location. Not sure where the problem lies. But the kitchen only gets about 50% of my orders correct, and
