THE FOOD IS AWESOME AND A GREAT PRICE. I love there enchiladas and they are always fast with service and it's always fast. Heck I even call in when I am in a rush!! read more

I went over the weekend during lunch time and it was very busy. We had to wait for a table and had to give our number so they could call us when a spot opened up. The wait time was maybe around 10 minutes so not bad. The tortillas were delicious but I just wasn't a fan of the taste of the salsas provided with the chips and I also didn't like the taste of my menudo. Something just felt off to me, but with how popular the place was maybe it was just the specific dish I ordered. Service was really good and we constantly had someone stopping by to see if there was anything else we needed. read more

El Potosino - Menudo with a pineapple refreshment. - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Group spot for a traditional, Mexican breakfast. This restaurant always has a good crowd. I was seated very quickly. The staff was very courteous and hands on. This place does make their own corn tortillas. I will try their lunch at a later time, but I was impressed with how clean and professional this place was. I finally found a spot for a really good traditional Mexican breakfast & lunch. read more

The food was good definitely different from what I'm used to as they cook certain things differently from my Mexican home state but it was still yummy. The place was packed and took a while to find parking and get seated but they had us in and out fairly quickly. read more

I went there with friends and it was a great experience and great food. I recommend the tacos, but everything looked so good, I'll have to go back... read more

Great spot! Quick to sit you down and get you taken care of. Got the guisado rojo and the guisado verde everything had great flavor, the chips and salsa were also very good! Tortillas were freshly made! read more

This place restaurant never disappoints. My family and I always look forward to ordering Gorditas on a Sunday Morning

I've only had breakfast at Potosino but I've had it more than once it is so good. This place can get crowded and parking isn't the best, you'll likely have to park on a neighborhood street if you go during a busy time. But, it's worth the wait and slight parking difficulty, so don't let the time waiting deter you. The salsas are gratis and run on the hotter side compared to most free salsas at Mexican places. You might want to try first if you have kids or people that are sensitive to spicy food with you. Every time I have gotten the standard breakfast which comes with eggs, your choice of meat, beans, potatoes, and your choice of tortillas. Everything is made homemade and is very hot when delivered to you. Like I said, this is not fancy, it's basic but prepared really well. The bites with tortilla, salsa, and various components of the breakfast are fantastic. I want to try lunch one day, but to be honest, if I am near there and they are serving breakfast, I'm getting breakfast. Don't pass this place by, it may not be much to look at from the outside but it's more than worth a stop. read more

Discovered this gem in October when my mom was in town and we happened to be in the Capitol Hill area around lunch time, so popped in at the suggestion of Yelp! Don't judge, but we were really hungry and ordered a large number of menu items. We ordered the pozole, a quesadilla, a few different tacos, a couple of gorditas, their barbacoa dish, a torta and their fresh guacamole and while there were definitely some stand out items, all of it was fantastic and I would order again (well, maybe not the pozole, but that's only because I don't like anyone's pozole). My favorite were the gorditas as they were these delicious fried pockets of dough with really tasty fillings! The owner waited on us and gave us all of his best suggestions and he did not steer us wrong! As others have mentioned, make sure you bring cash. They do take credit cards, but on this day they were without internet due to the freakish October ice storm so cash was the only option. read more

El Potosino is an all-time favorite for breakfast on the weekend or lunch on-the-go. EVERYTHING is home-style cooked and the attention from the staff makes it feel like a home. My favorites: *Machaca (shredded beef, scrambled eggs, sautéed peppers and onions), beans with cheese, and home style potatoes. *Carne asada burrito with beans and cheese. *Salsa verde chilaquiles topped with a fried egg. *Chicharrón gorditas (fried pork rinds) in salsa verde. *Atole (traditional Mexican cornmeal hot drink). * Handmade corn tortillas. *Garden salsa and red pepper salsa. read more

I went with a friend for breakfast Food was great super fast service will be back soon

Really good tortas -- REALLY GOOD. Best atole in town, too -- one of my faves during colder weather. My husband loves the chilaquiles here at El Potosino, and I'm wild about both the sopes and the juevos machaca. Service can be spotty, hence the four stars in lieu of five. Hardly located in what I'd call the best part of OKC, but we come to Capitol Hill to eat, not nest in bourgeois comfort. read more

Amazing every time! Every plate I've had is like my mommas cooking! Owners and staff are never rude.

So yummy! Authentic Mexican food with delicious salsas! Service was great too! This is a very traditional place, so no queso (which I'm okay with but my sister was disappointed lol). read more

This is a family owned business that far exceeds one's expectations. Authentic Mexican food of extraordinary quality...nothing in OKC area can compare with it. If you want a south-of-the-border experience, by all means, treat yourself to these delicacies. read more

Delicious food and great service. My kids loved their enchiladas. I ordered the Chimichanga and it was awesome. We had a lady selling pastries that were great as well. This place has a very comfortable atmosphere. I did order some guacamole and it looked rushed. the manager saw it and immediately took it off my bill. Schedule some time to eat here. read more

Breakfast or lunch, it's always "muy, muy bien" at el Potosino! I've been coming here since the beginning and it just keeps getting better and better. Today I'm having breakfast...Juevos Machaca (made with barbacoa) and it's delicious. I had them adjust the spice because this is authentic Mexican food and they cook for their clientele - which is mostly the Mexican community. The owner Roberto is just the nicest guy and he has mostly his family working here. Ask for a recommendation if you're unsure on what to order as the whole menu is in Spanish. Come for the food and stay for the experience...you won't be disappointed! Remember - breakfast and lunch only as they close at 3 and are closed on Wednesdays! read more

El Potosino does Mexican food right! Stepping into the emphatic yellow and red building, you find yourself assailed with mismatched tables and chairs, served water and Atole (we'll talk about this in a second) in mismatched mugs, and jostled by big Hispanic families that are as hungry as you are, yet finding yourself loving every minute of it! As the only two Asian in the entire building, my friend and I stuck out like sore thumbs, but we were treated like part of the family, served drinks in big coffee pots alongside the other customers, and provided Spanish-only menus like everyone else! I only really knew to order a Pastor Torta, and it was chock-full of all the deliciousness I could have ever expected in Latin cuisine! And the Atole! You have got to get the Atole! It's like warm sweet corn soup served in mugs, which seems off-putting, but could have been the meal itself and I wouldn't have complained! All in all, I can not stop raving about El Potosino! Treat yourself and stop eating that Taco Bell/Bueno, go get you some authentic Mexican food at El Potosino today!! read more

Food is always wonderful and service is great. Don't wanna wait Call in your order. Will be ready by the time you arrive.

Wow this place is tasty. Quite small and cozy but such great service and very authentic Mexican food. Recently moved to OKC from Arizona in search of authentic great tasting Mexican food and I feel I have found it. Had the breakfast burrito with chorizo egg cheese and potato and I will definitely be back for more. read more

Been it a minute since I have eaten here, they have the best Mexican breakfast in OKC. They have handmade tortillas and they keep the coffee and atole flowing. One great tidbit, they actually serve potatoes with breakfast where in a lot of places serve rice. The potatoes are a must with a good Mexican breakfast. read more

This place is legit. They serve traditional Central Mexican food (I sound like I know my Mexican food, but I was taken here by a coworker that was born in Central Mexico) and it is deeeelicious. The menu has no English, so having a native speaker was helpful, but the owner was also super nice and helpful so that shouldn't hold you back :) I ordered the barbacoa and my friend had the sopas. The barbacoa was spicy, tasty and filling, and their house made tortillas hit the spot. The owner came around offering seconds of everything, free of charge. While we didn't take him up on it because the portions were ginormous, I thought it was super nice of him to offer. Note that they only accept cash, however when I went to pay the owner said "no problem, just pay me next time" Luckily my friend had cash to cover me but how awesome was that owner?? Really family-type place, please check it out. read more

Our friend told us this was a great place to go for authentic Mexican. It didn't disappoint! Staff was friendly and whole atmosphere was nice. Menus were in Spanish and English. We would go back read more

We eat here weekly. It's always delicious at lunch and brunch is great and easy to get a table typically. The tortillas are handmade, the salads are fresh and delicious, love the Huraches, Sopes, Guiso, and several of the egg dishes. I love the warm rice milky drink they serve as well ( can't remember the name), but it is always very good. read more

I was excited because the reviews were good and when we came into the restaurant there were a good number of people. They do serve you chips and salsa, and they were definitely really good. They give you two different salsa, one that is mild and one that has a kick. So be prepared, when we got our food I had the eggs with chorizo along with beans, potatoes and corn tortillas. The potatoes were cold when I got them and the beans were okay. The main part of the dish was also just okay, but the corn tortillas were really good. I do not think there was much flavor, maybe I came on the wrong day. The service was great, the waiters were really nice and accommodating. It is a 50/50 if I would come back to this place. read more

Love it. I work downtime and this will be a go to spot for me from now on. It's great! Friendly staff and excellent food.

The best authentic Mexican food restaurant I have found. Tried the alote like other reviews said and it was so delicious! Will definitely be back. read more

I met the owner of this restaurant through a friend and I thought I would check it out. I like authentic Mexican food more than Tex Mex, and was please to see it was in fact authentic. I had the skirt steak enchiladas and the skirt steak was very tender, a trick that is not always easy to perform. There is no doubt these people know what they are doing, and based on the number of people in the restaurant at lunch, I am not the only one that thinks that. This is a new regular lunch spot option for me! read more

This place is small but BIG in taste! The food is always awesome! The service is impeccable. The staff is super friendly and so accomodating. Everything on the menu is delicious and very flavorful. read more

An OKC gem in Historic Capitol Hill! Always fresh, high quality dishes using great produce and meat. My favorite is the huaraches. Don't forget they do breakfast- the chilaquiles are great. Friendly staff and good service. read more

Incredibly amazing service here, food it's tremendously good! 100% recommend for anyone who hasn't been there...

Huge breakfast food fan. Ordered huevos rancheros with potatoes, beans and corn tortillas. Breakfast available all day. Owner and his son are very friendly and courteous. I don't speak Spanish and they were very understanding and helpful. You get corn chips, salsa, guac and lime/lemon wedges with your order. Will certainly go back. read more
