Tried El Potro, when my go-to Greek restaurant had closed early unexpectedly for the evening. I got the Burrito De Pollo Fajita. Chicken was juicy and tender. Peppers were nice and fresh. Lots of warm queso cheese sauce on top. Came with black beans, which were very good. I also asked for a side of rice. The chips and salsa were very good as well. The salsa tasted authentic and had a nice level of flavor and spice. I will definitely return to El Potro with friends and family as it has earned a spot on my go-to Mexican restaurants list!

First time to try them but it was late so we had our food order to go. We had an assortment of tacos and chimichangas, and they were good! The food was freshly cooked and prepared with care and the price was very reasonable. I just wish i had more of the pico de gallo in my food box as it was refreshing. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍

Absolutely amazing food, service, and environment. Service started off with a nice welcome and being seated right away. Drink order was taking as we were being seated and Chips and salsa were brought out fresh. Salsa had amazing flavor and a little bit of heat. So delicious! Prices were fair and food and plates were brought out hot and delicious. Margaritas were flavorful, nachos were plain but my kiddos loved them, meat for both the chimi and nachos were very flavorful, and drinks were filled as needed. The kids were brought out a chocolate covered marshmallow for dessert after eating their food. Highly highly recommend this place to anyone!

HIDDEN MEXICAN GEM IN STL Ascetically speaking, this place will not blow you away with the decorations, but the food will!! They have plenty of TVs to watch local sporting events, and a full bar. Don’t let the outside appearance of used car dealerships deter you. The service is fantastic, the food is fresh and comes out quick, the chips and salsa has a unique and great flavor. The pastor tacos are fresh and tasty, as is the quesadillas. Get a margarita and they’ll top it off for you once you finish the first round. This is a hidden spot where you have to know where to turn on Manchester. There’s an adjacent Hispanic grocery store. Parking can sometimes be hard to find, but just be patient. If you go when they’re busy, finding a parking spot will be the longest wait you have….if you ev

I live near to the restaurant and usually door dash. It’s always delish. I love the El Potro fajitas. Through DoorDash - always fresh. In house, unbelievable. David got to watch futbol. ⚽️ I didn’t get a shot of Dave’s shrimp chimichanga b/c it was murdered immediately. Nicholas the owner is very sweet. 10/10 will dine in for the experience.
