Dear senior potro, God has blessed you with the ability to take ingredients and turn them into Mexican food from the heavens. Your wonderful waitress allowed me to create my own burrito. I was craving a California style burrito. (I know I'm in Texas) You, senior potro, nailed it. From the perfectly cooked meet, to the elegant salsa you have touched my heart. We shall see you soon. read more

Had the Texas plate with a beef taco. Carne Guisada and enchiladas were so so. Rice and beans were good. Beef taco was inedible. It was so greasy when it was brought out, the shell fell apart on its own. The seasoning of the taco was also awful. Not bad, but far from the best Mexican food I have had in the area. read more

I was passing through this area around dinner time and decided to stop in since my local friend highly recommended it. Really glad I did. The food was great. I got two crunchy tacos and two pastor tacos. Both were great but the pork street tacos were the best. Service was slow but they were extremely busy so it's understandable. The frozen margarita was a little weak but they have a nice tequila selection so I just dosed it with an extra shot and still came out cheaper than most places. Great place to get dinner. read more

El Potro - Crunchy taco and pastor taco. Very good! Pastor was the best. - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

This place sucks. they charges a kids quesadillas plate as large plate. It was just fries

Delicious food! The salsa, homemade tortilla chips, the tamales- 100% will be back! Thanks so much!

Birilla Tacos are amazing , the caldo brings extra meat inside. The ladies are nice and attentive, familyoriented vibes. read more

El Potro - a man serving food in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

THE BIRRIA TACOS ARE AMAZING. So is the charro beans, their breakfast plates, and the service! The vibe hit us wrong the first time, very empty place but omg the food is INCREDIBLE. Now the drinks- eh. And that's the only reason I took a star off. But we were looking for a local Mexican restaurant with birria tacos, and this place blew us away. Southside location, staff is sweet, great prices. The drinks- so they're not flexible on what they offer, you can only order what drinks are displayed on the menu which was a little odd. I wasn't a fan of the margaritas but the food is so dang good I wasn't even interested in a drink lol. This is a hidden gem! CHECK IT OUT!! read more

The place is Clean, the staff is nice and well trained. No rattling empty cup wanting a refill and try to flag someone down, they are there to wait on you and make you feel welcomed and it shows. A concept that is becoming lost. The food was delicious and value priced. I had the #2 Diablo burrito with fajita meet and i am ashamed to admit that I ate it all. It is big and too much food for a lightweight eater luckily I'm no lightweight. For food that is delicious and done right with a waitress staff that waits on you, you must come here. I will be back soon read more

El Potro - Jalisco burrito #2 - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Visited this place on a whim, ordered the birria tacos. They were really good, didn't need the consume, the tacos were very cheezy moist and packed with meat. Excellent service too, very clean place. read more

The service is excellent. The staff is really nice. The atmosphere is lively, but this evening it dim in here. The decor like someone's home. Our appetizer was nachos w bean and cheese only. Avocado was out and not being served. They used canned regrows beans, real cheddar and jalapeños. Had the Mojarra frita (whole fried tilapia) which was served with salad and French fries. The other dish was chicken enchiladas smothered in white cheese. That dish was served with rice, refried beans and small salad. My husband enjoyed it. Overall, the taste was good. He wanted carne asada, but they serve it diced here and he did not like that. read more

Excellent Mexican food in a comfortable, welcoming environment. Very pleasant staff. Clean and well-maintained.

Great service, always on point. Food is always very well prepared. Sraff always ready to help and offer honest suggestions.

Had the caldo de rez last night it was full of meat. Carrots, cabbage and papa were cooled just right. Will have again

Short staffed, but very nice waitress. I had the enchiladas with a sauce on them, delicious. Didn't care for the beef enchiladas

Great spot if you're craving Mexican food, and inexpensive compared to other Mexican restaurants around town. I've had mini asada tacos, ceviche tostadas, tortilla soup, charro beans, and rice from here. Always delicious! read more

My son's friend recommended this place and this is the best Mexican food so far!! I'm from the Rio Grande Valley, so I know what I'm talking about. There's another place on Everhart with great reviews that I went to and it doesn't compare to here!! The charro beans were sooo good!! And the fajitas tasted the way they should. This is where I'm eating anytime I come to Corpus!! read more

Visited my son and wanted some Mexican food. Boy oh boy. It was delicious and filling and rather inexpensive. Margaritas were large and spot on. Came back two more times during my stay read more

The food and service is great but the drive thru sucks. 1 or 2 cars and it always takes 30 plus mins. Horrible!!!

Went this morning through the drive thru and my total was $24, I paid with $30 and the cashier refused to verify the cameras that I paid her $30 and insisted I gave her $25. Wrong! read more

Best mojaras (whole fried fish) in town. Delicious appetizers, the Nacho Con Todo (Fully loaded Nachos) bean, cheese, Chicken fajitas or beef fajitas and jalapenos are the bomb. From the moment you walk in, the staff is very courteous and attentive, consistently checking to see if you need anything. The food is served within a reasonable time and is very reasonable. I have tasted their enchiladas, quesadillas, charro beans and flautas and none has disappointed. The food has a good taste and is presented in a very appetizing manner. The restaurant is very clean and so are the bathrooms. I have always heard that a restaurant that maintains clean bathrooms has clean kitchens also. I would highly recommend El Potro Restaurant as the best Mexican restaurant in town. read more

Where do I start? The food is very very good. I would recommend everything lol. The staff is very professional and friendly the place is always clean and the call in orders are always done on time and food still is great. Every time family comes into town we take them there and everyone loves it. read more

I started going to the El Potro on Rodd Field and fell in love. We were excited when they opened up a second restaurant near us on Weber. My favorite thing is the gorditas with barbacoa. So good. Definitely try it out! read more

Best Mexican place hands down! The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean! My favorite thing to eat there is The Menudo and the enchiladas. read more

Poor customer service and doesn't come to a resolution for their customers. Ordered two double cheeseburgers and got two single patty burgers with double cheese apparently you have to be really specific. They don't understand what a double cheeseburger is. I even asked if I had asked for a double hamburger what would y'all have given me and couldn't even give me an answer. Very disappointed! Never eating here again the food and service just been going downhill for awhile now. read more
