Always amazing Mexican food when I come in. The owner makes the tequila from scratch so the margaritas are top notch. The barbacoa tacos are some of the best I've had. I'm not sure why this place has negative review cause it's delicious. read more

This place was totally amazing. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was totally chill. I love the design of the Mexican style throughout the restaurant so beautiful with all the vibrant colors TVs on people, talking and enjoying themselves. That's what I find to be an impressive restaurant. The bathrooms were clean as well. I really liked that First time we tried this place we've driven by it so many times and decided to try it and it was well worth the stop if you ever in the area stop by and check it out you will not be disappointed Thanks for the read Until next time..... read more

This place used to be so good. Sad that it's gone down hill. Tostada and hard taco were so soggy that they fell apart - tells me it sat there for a long time before it was served. Others in my party said their food was subpar as well. read more

Relaxed atmosphere, fantastic Mexican food. Something is better about this place than the rest of the vanilla Mexican restaurants in Denver metro. Granted I have yet to venture out of Littleton area but this place is GOOD. Had the Beto Burrito. Tons of flavor. No bland elements. Came out on a scorching hot plate and really scratched the wet burrito itch. Clean restaurant and clean bathroom. They do a good job. Will be back again. read more

Margaritas are very good here!! You'll love the atmosphere and authentic Mexican food!! Homemade taco shells great sauce with tacos! From the tacos, Enchiladas, burritos to the Margaritas love this place!! Staff and service are great, always a great experience! read more

This place has a festive, brightly colored decor and uniquely painted chairs. It's well lit, but not too bright like a cafeteria. In general it has a clean, comfortable ambiance. My wife went here with friends and liked it so much she wanted me to see what it was like. We went for dinner and I had a ground beef burrito. In general it was good, but what made it especially good was the tomato sauce it was bathed in. The sauce tasted like the tomatoes were roasted. It was wonderful. Service was especially good because we had two servers. One was a young man who is the son of one of the cooks. He likes to come to the restaurant and help out. So he'd visit our table regularly asking if we needed anything. His attentiveness earned him a separate tip. All in all it's a fine place for dining on your favorite Mexican food. read more

Went here expecting at least a decent meal, but left completely disappointed. The beer they served was expired, a huge red flag. The food itself tasted stale and poorly handled. Service was painfully careless. Ambience was just passable, but that doesn't matter when the food and services are this bad. Definitely not worth the money or the risk. read more

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is super relaxing plus the employees are super sweet.

Love our local restaurant! Always great food and best margaritas! Our go to weekly dinner place.

The house margarita is the best ever! I ordered a chimichanga and it was delicious. The staff was very friendly as well.

My girlfriends and I have been on the quest for a great margarita! Some are too sweet, too strong, too much ice, whatever. Well, 3 Portillo had the best margarita with their original!! Served in a shaker, just the right amount of lime and tequila. Three of us different Mexican salads and all were sooooo yummy. One had the tortilla soup which looked fabulous, she said it was!! We will be back‼ read more

With my coworkers last day approaching quickly, our small team decided to take her out to a farewell lunch before sending her on her way. Tres Portillo's was the place of choice (mainly because my older coworker frequents there and loves it) so we headed out around 11AM for a much needed lunch out. Although small, the space boasts plenty of socially distanced seating at tables or booths and is brightly splashed in color which creates a friendly and welcoming environment. Traditional Hispanic music blasted from the speakers, which was a little awkward considering the volume, but made the experience feel authentic none the less. It's definitely a local's hang out, and reservations are rarely needed, so our party of 7 was easily accommodated during the lunch rush. We were greeted by a woman who quickly seated us, took our drink orders and was back within the minutes to take our order - which none of us were ready for considering we had just sat down. After a few minutes, she returned to take our order, refilling our waters and unlimited chips and salsa in the process. She wasn't all that friendly and frankly seemed annoyed to have the entire dining room to tend to herself, but managed to do so with ease. The menu boasts just about anything you could want - with breakfast served until 2PM. So while others opted for fresh burritos, tacos, smothered breakfast burritos, and a variety of apps, I opted for a simple bowl of tortilla soup in homemade broth to warm my bones. The size of the soup was large, filled with shredded chicken, rice, beans, sliced avocado and garnished with chips, which totally hit the spot. I also ordered a side of rice and beans which was HUGE and yet, delicious. I found the chips in my soup to be a little interesting, considering it took up the majority of the bowl and became soggy instantly, but it surprisingly tasted pretty decent. Prices are on point, portions are large and this spot is never packed. When needing a spot to head for lunch in the area, this one is A-Ok. read more

Great food! Great cheerful and friendly folks service. is excellent you just can't go wrong here read more

we walk here all the time. portions are large. food is delicious. service is great. sangria is top notch.

I am not understanding the negative/poor reviews on this business. In the contrary, I truly enjoy this restaurant being nearby and the great service provided. The business is clean, and the staff is polite. I normally come on weekdays and this business is not given the love it deserves. As you walk into the welcoming lobby, you're sat in the main dining which has booths on the side, tables in the middle, and a small bar. The authenticity is perfect and I love the atmosphere. I have had a myriad of food options, drinks, and dessert. All of my choices have been delicious. The chips and salsa are delicious. The chili relleno is good! I highly recommend the quesabirria tacos, which are my favorite and can be hard to find. In short, I recommend this restaurant and it needs more love from the local clientele. read more

I had the enchalada suiza. It was decent, but not what I expected. It had a lot of cilantro in the sauce.

A decent Mexican place close to home. We ordered takeout late on a Sunday. The food was not palatable. Chimichangas soggy, guacamole black on top. We couldn't eat it. They were closed so i called the next day. I inadvertently spoke to 2 potriiljos, t she listened and understood. She was ready to refund it y Too my card when we discovered it was incorrect..I called and stopped by many times. There is no manager asked for his name and it was never given to me. We all most laughed thnk read more

Food here was good! They start you off with chips, salsa, and some refried bean dip. I enjoyed my enchilada and taco. Next time I'll ask for more salsa or hot sauce to go with it. Service was pretty good. They seemed a bit short staffed but they did a good job. We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, very cute. read more

Food and services was exceptional!! I think this place is still a hidden gem. Highly recommend.

I'm in town visiting, craving some good Mexican Food, and was very happy with this place. I was there around noon on a Friday (today actually). I felt I should take the time to post, because of the previous reviews. I ordered the chicken enchiladas Suizas my regular go to. Warm fresh chips, decent salsa, and water came out immediately, my order was taken, I was in and out within 30 min. The chicken tasted very fresh, and perfectly shredded. The green sauce, beans, rice, sour cream, all delicious . With all this being said, I was the only one in the place, and there was a sign to hire help. I'll go back next time I'm in town. I loved the ambiance! read more

Oh boy this was yummy. I'm 2 margaritas deep writing this review. My veggie bowl was so good! The waitress was wonderful. My margarita was yummy . Try this place it is good read more

I got a ground beef burrito drenched in "queso." The queso was actually pretty much nacho cheese sauce. This tasted like a Taco Bell soft shelled taco drenched in nacho cheese sauce. The service was quick and you get free chips and salsa. read more

Good food, solid menu, dismissive service. Everything I've tried is good. It's hard to get refills or anything else after they've dropped your food off. It's a good place to go if you need to get in and out, get something to go or want to chat with a friend. read more

3 Potrillos Mexican Restaurant - Fun chairs and the dirtiest worn out carpet, ever. - Mexican Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

TU Casa in the same shopping center is much better. Better food and better/nicer service. I'd go their over 3 Potrillos.

I've got to say, I don't particularly remember that much about the food from either of my visits to date - but helloooooooooooo, tasty margaritas! Their salsa is yum-o and I do remember liking my chili relleno. There's nothing that spectacular about their food, but it's still good. Their menu is pretty big so there's pretty much something for everyone. Nice big place; there were big groups there both times we've been. Next time I've got to go back for happy hour! read more

I love this restaurant! I feel like you get great hang for your buck and the service is always friendly and quick. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and I'm so happy they made it through the covid ordeal and seem to be getting busier. read more

Picked up 3 orders of Menudo today. Got home and did a taste test since I have never ordered here before. Complete garbage. I threw that s#$% in the trash. Do yourselves a favor and go to Mi Pueblo Market on Saturday for the real deal. This place is a joke read more

Below average, service is slow and not friendly. My taco salad was sad. We were excited for authentic Mexican food but will never be back to this place. read more

Food wasn't very good. The usual place we go Las Fajitas was closed so we came here but wish we had my. Would recommend Taco Bell over this place. read more

Great neighbourhood place. Always friendly service with a smile, consistent simple authentic food, great margaritas. Their carne asada is absolutely unbeatable! read more

We had called to see if we could have a party of 10 at 7:30 tonight. We were told yes, no problem. I hate leaving bad reviews because I know everyone has an off day, me included But, we did not feel welcome from the moment we came in. We were seated right away along with chips and salsa. It took another 20 minutes to get offered anything to drink (2 other tables and 2 people at bar total). They made it very clear we really weren't welcome. My Taco Salad was a cold stale shell with probably 2tablespoons of lettuce and a chopped up chicken leg a tablespoon of sour cream and guacamole. Margaritas are not as advertised either. I'm pretty sure my Puerto was orange juice with 1/2 shot of bar rail tequila, did not have grand marnier(but we paid for it)! Awful awful awful! They honestly could care less and how sad! We came in smiling and happy wanting to support a business in the community. They obviously could care less read more

Truly truly awful. Not even close to authentic. Everything drowning in "sauce". Do not come here. read more

Your better off going to Taco Bell. Poor service and the food was not prepared well. Over fried rellenos and the salsa was the worst we ever had. We should have left. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The food is excellent and typically great service. Today, I had to waive my glass for water. However, the waitress was too busy chatting with a someone who pooped into get food and ignored me for 8 minutes. When my food arrived, it was clear it was under a heat lamp for the duration she elected to visit the the pick up order person. Then, I had to wait and wait for more water and my bill. I had an appointment and needed to depart. Therefore, walked up to the bar to pay. BOTTOM LINE- customers first, not friends and customer service is your differentiators. read more

We have been going here since 2005. The food is always excellent and the service is great. This is a family owned restaurant that takes great pride in the quality. Since Covid they have added a drive up window so you can call in your order and drive up for pick up! read more

Amazing drinks, food, and service. Highly recommend especially if looking for authentic food. Quiet and relaxing ambiance, if you love Mexican food you'll love it here. read more

Wonderful family dinner! House margarita is mixed from scratch-- no added surgery mixes--- best deal as it comes with 4 refills! Kids meals were delicious - quesadillas and burritos. The shrimp with mushrooms were very delicious. Too it off is the fried ice cream (pictured!) read more

I was in there about 2 months ago and served a plate that contained a baby cockroach in the rice. At the time, I thought it was a weevil, and when I showed it to my waitress, she had basically no reaction. After I got home and looked it up online, I learned it was a cockroach. I called the Jeffco Health Dept and they said they would send someone out, but they didn't want to see the picture I took (weird). All I'm gonna say is, it was a BABY cockroach, so what does that suggest about what's going on in the kitchen. read more

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant we've found in southwest Denver! Amazing spicy jalapeno margarita, large portions, and authentic mole and chipotle sauces. Our meal was outstanding!! read more
