Always great food!!! Drinks are just as good! Always stop in when in area!! You need to stop in and if you only order drinks you won't be disappointed!! read more

Food and service was good. Menu had everything you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. Would go back if in the area again.

We've stopped at El Potrero several times when in Franklin. It's a very popular place during the Kentucky Downs race meet and always crowded. Since we had a big lunch at the track, we just wanted something light. I had two tacos, a carne asada and a chorizo. They were good, but I should have had my usual chile relleno. In any case, it's a good choice for Mexican if you're in the area 77 read more

We visited from out of town for the weekend and we loved this place! We rolled in Thursday 6 pm and luckily it was music bingo nite! So fun! The DJ plays songs and you mark them on your card. You have 2 cards and they play 2 times on card 1 and 2 times on card 2. Then they open it up to karaoke. These people are good! Also, Food is great, margaritas are great. We had so much fun we came back Friday nite and it was just as fun! More karaoke! Dinner & a show! Shout out to Dr Dave & Dawn for also coming out both nites! Looking forward to coming back! If you are staying at the Comfort Inn then climb the hill and check it out! read more

When traveling you never know how stopping to eat will go. This one was top notch. I'm marking it down in my notebook as a good place to return to because it was right off Interstate 65, easily located and the service was wonderful. Food was a good value as well as delicious. My husband even said the bathroom was very clean, like super clean. So five star all the way in our book. read more

I had no idea how spacious this place is! I stand by my previous review. Plus, they sell half servings read more

We were driving from Louisville to Nashville and stopped here to grab some food. Outside of the Mint, I wasn't familiar with Franklin - but this place was highly rated so we decided to stop in. Ample parking. Great bar selection. Complimentary Chips & Salsa. Good food. Fast service. Good portions. Clean bathrooms. Definitely worth a visit. read more

How this place has such a high rating is beyond me. Both our drinks had insects frozen into the ice cubes. If it was just one I may have been able to overlook it, but two definitely indicates a problem. And trying to relay that to the staff that speaks very little English was a nightmare. They kept thinking we wanted more drinks. Eventually a patron at a nearby booth came over to translate and they took the drinks back and off our checks. The food itself was nothing to be impressed over. The meats and rice were dry, the sides for my fajita were dismal, and the food overall lacked any real flavors. Pretty disappointing experience. read more

I was very impressed with the food and the service. New to the area and will make this a routine spot.

I ordered the Quesadilla Grande. It was awful, not recognizable as a quesedilla. The chunks of chicken and beef were way too big. The pineapple bigger than the chunks you buy in the store. Also, there were shrimp, which were fine. There was none of the cheeseyness you order a quesadilla for. The meat was over salted. It was awful. Don't believe me? Order it and find out for yourself. read more

All the food was good but our waiter Hardly can understand us. He never comes back to ask us if we need anything. He didn't bring out the chipotle sauce with the meal that we asked for. Yes we asked for the chipotle sauce. And the last couple times we have been here the food has been kinda of cold. And the chips were cold and the cheese sauce. read more

The restaurant needs a major update with everything including interior painting, lighting and food / Folks I know this place for almost 3 years and every time I drive through I65 I stop for a nice meal - except the last two were different I ordered steak fajita it used to be with more chunks of steak and now they use a razor blade to slice the meat like paper thickness maybe they copy the system from the movie good fellas I don't know! - also to much salt- please please stop pouring to much salt on the food, we want to taste the food - and finally update the menu if people are stoping at your restaurant to eat, stop making little portions of food, I like to come back.. and now I don't know if I would.... read more

Huge clean place with good food and great bar. I found this place by accident when I stopped down the street for fuel. It's kind of off the path up a hill behind the truck stop. read more

El Potrero Cantina & Grill - Burrito El Potrero (minus the sour cream) - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Kentucky

Excellent food and service. We had three of the many burrito choices. I tried the Burrito Potrero with chicken. It was tender and seasoned perfectly. My wife had the Burrito Fajita with steak. She loved it. My sister had the Burrito Fajita with chicken and shrimp. She really liked it but only found 1 confirmed shrimp. Overall the food was good and served hot and fairly quick. When our travels bring us past on I-65 we will likely stop again. Chicken Burritos, Fajita Burritos read more

Our favorite Friday spot in Franklin!!!! Live karaoke, great service, Marg pitchers, and great food. We come here weekly. Definitely the top Mexican spot in town read more

Food is fantastic! Great service, clean and affordable! Best rice I've ever eaten! Five stars hands down! Keep up the great work! We were traveling and will be back on our way through! read more

Great service and great food. It was clean and very spacious. Food variety in fajitas and other items on the menu.

Being from the south I was surprised how good everything was, I'd definitely go back and explore the rest of the menu items

Now that is the smartest thing I've seen all day! They give you a carafe full of salsa with small serving bowls for each person eating. Double dip all you want guys. They have you covered. Those other Peurto Vallarta knock offs of Franklin better watch out. The quality was superior. The place and staff was cleaner and better put togethor. The menu items were almost identical as well as price point. I can see this place quickly becoming my favorite Mexican eatery when I work in this city. read more

Extremely impressed! Small business with a friendly proprietor. The food was very amazing and the pricing was minimal. The delicious food reminded me of home in Southern California. Great job! read more

Wanted to like this place but they made it hard. Everything was bland. If you're looking for any sort of authenticity, look elsewhere.

Over salted and just. Ewwwww.. I got cheese quesadillas with rice and beans. All I could taste was salt. Hard to even eat. Rice was bland. Beans were mediocre at best. I was not impressed at all. read more

Nice find amid a lot of chains. Small place, small staff but great for takeout. Had the fajita burrito and it was big and tasty. The others in my party had good things to say about their food too. read more

After a really bad day I find myself in Franklin Ky hungry and looking for the go to feel good food! Yeah that's right Mexican! Just around the corner from my current parking for the night is this place and I'm glad that it's hear. After a 5 minute stroll I waltz in the door and I am immediately seated and a drink order taken. The complimentary chips and salsa are brought forth, the chips are warm and obviously fresh lots of crunch and absolutely no staleness is detected. The salsa has plenty of body and a refreshing flavor with just the right amount of heat. The iced tea left a little to be desired so I replaced it with a large Horchata man its good stuff. So I quickly order a Shrimp Cocktail and some quesso. The cheese dip comes out and what can I say it's cheese melted into simmering milk exactly like every other Mexican joint on the planet. The Shrimp Cocktail comes to the table and the spicy aroma coming for the glass is almost mesmerizing not to mention it's rather large. The flavor is off the chain, someone in this kitchen has the passion to produce good food. The sauce within the glass has a lot of body and substance with a very nice kick. So trying hard not to over do it I order a simple Shrimp quesadilla with grilled onions to complete my meal. Perfection this place will certainly be a do over as I travel this route quite often. Definitely 5 Stars. Y'all give them a try! read more

They served me a spoiled T-bone steak. I saw good reviews and had high hopes but never again.

A good find. A lot of small town Mexican food is the same one place (and one town) to another but the menu here is a bit unique, the flavors were all excellent, great service, good beer and margaritas at a good price as well. read more

This is by far the best food I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Living on this earth for the past 22 years and living everywhere. This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever had! read more
