WOW! The menu is VERY comprehensive and everything sounded so delicious; it was tough to choose! Service was awesome and everything we ordered was fantastic! They give the most incredible queso with your complimentary chips and salsa. Wish we had one of these in Niceville, FL! read more

El Potro is hands down the best Mexican food in the area in my opinion and everyone I bring here agrees. This place never misses. The Queso Potro Especial will genuinely change your life. Mix it with their house made salsa and thank me later. Trust me. The staff make me feel like I am at home and the decor is always cute and never tacky. I love that they never seat you too close to other tables so you actually have space to talk, laugh and enjoy your meal. Bring people with you because everyone will want to go. Their salsa is the perfect balance of flavor and mild heat which is a blessing for someone like me with a very sensitive diet. Nothing here has ever upset my stomach and I can still taste all the amazing flavors. That is a rare combo. The quesabirrias are unreal. Cheesy, crispy and so good that everyone else at my table instantly regretted their choices. The tacos were crunchy and delicious too but the quesabirria is the clear winner. Every time I come here I leave full and happy. Truly a comfort food spot worth trying. read more

Great local business! Friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, and a great experience overall. I always love supporting local businesses that truly care about their customers. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

We have been here countless times! Since they first opened, they have expanded the restaurant to match the amount of people. They offer incredible daily specials for both food and drink. I recommend dining in to have the full El Potro experience, if you're in a hurry, they even have a drive through option as well. read more

Always FIVE stars from me! My favorite Mexican food. Good service, good food, good value. I have never used El Potro carry-out or drive through but totally enjoy the dine/in experience. The decor and music is perfect! esp considering that the location was formerly a sub-par "pizza ranch" and the location is next to an excellent, equally busy steak house. Both are great choices and there is plenty of parking. Years past we drove & spent a lot of time visiting in the Michoacan, Vera Cruz, and central Mexico and the food, decor and music revives fond memories. read more

Monday is taco night. Good prices, but they are bad! Driest chicken I have ever had. Beef tacos were just as bad. read more

Excellent service and really good food! Sometimes Mexican food can be greasy but not this place! Wife had Quesabirrias. They were solid! The soupa (conseme) was delicious and flavorful. Pollo Jalapeño was really good too! Salsa tasted fresh and a small queso is on the house. The restaurant was very clean. Great staff. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Quick service and my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. They offer my favorite salsa of local restaurants, fresh and homemade. I can tell because every once and awhile someone adds too much sugar and changes the taste. They offer one free Espinaca as well! My favorite is their carnitas but anything is good! read more

Great local spot especially if you're going to the Azura for a concert. It was a lively atmosphere, friendly service, & amazing food. Then to top it off they had the best prices we'd see in a long time. We were greeted with waters, salsa, queso & chips almost as soon as we sat down. The place was super busy but the service and food were still excellent! One of the pics below has a skinny margarita and menu with the margaritas & prices. read more

Food: Split the steak fajitas and the portion was perfect. It was a little heavy on onions, but that's a favorite of mine. Complimentary queso was the star of the show, along side two house margaritas- a winning combo every time. Plus, MARGS ARE 2 FOR $5 ON WEDNESDAYS! Service: So friendly and fast, my husband and I were seated and finished within about 25 minutes on a Wednesday evening. Ambiance: Great music, the interior is large, so don't let a full parking lot deter you! read more

Late evening dinner & they did not diss appointment. Makes everything Mexican place on the east coast I have visited taste mediocre. Only place I have had better Margaritas is in Montreal. Service was 10/10 and I was as lost in cheese. You will not be disappointed with the food here, it was a boom dynamite Ambiance was ok but does not do this location justice and price was fairly reasonable. read more

The salsa and queso with chips served immediately was a nice surprise. Food was typical American Mexican. Neither bad nor great. Service was good. read more

El Potro Mexican Cafe is my favorite mexican food restaurant. We usually dine at the El Potro in Lawrence or in Paola. This was our first visit to the restaurant in Bonner Springs. Ordered the Carnitas Tamale and Fried Taco with refried beans and Mexican Rice. Our meal was delicious as we expected. The very best part of our visit to the Bonner Springs restaurant was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. Even though it was noon and the restaurant was very busy, our server made us feel very special. She even helped me practice my very poor Mexican words with a smile. Although this El Potro is a little off of our direct route home from Kansas City, we will return again. I hightly recommend El Potro for the quality and taste of the food, plus the friendly and attentive wait staff. read more

Great food, great service. Lots of variety. Vegetarian choices are always welcome and they have a good selection.

We came here with my in-laws for dinner and had a good time! My husband loved the complimentary queso that came with the chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. We ordered a few drinks to start. At $4.99, the 12oz house frozen margarita is pretty good! For dinner, I ordered the steak tacos with corn tortillas. The side of rice and beans was great, as were the tacos. My husband and in-laws enjoyed their entrees as well. The portions were very generous, and most of the entrees were priced around $15-$20. The service was fast, the food was tasty, and the restaurant was family-friendly. If I'm in the area again, I would come back! read more

Had dinner while we're in town for a wedding, and boy am I glad we did! Start off with complimentary queso to go with the chips and cheese, add two delicious cocktails and we're off to a great start. Our dinners came out in what seemed like just minutes, and they were great. My wife and I each got a different type of taco, we both raved about them. Everybody here was so friendly and the music was great! Make sure you come check them out! read more

Tacos al Carbon from El Potro in Bonner. These are my favorite non-deep fried tacos in town. Steak, bacon, onion, with cilantro and fresh sliced avocados. The servers and the rest of the staff are so sweet, and everything I've had has always been killer. Large varied menu, a little something for everyone. There's multiple locations around the city, so there's one close to almost everyone! On Wednesdays, house margaritas are 2/$5 and don't forget the complimentary cheese dip. They also have a drive thru for carry-out. &. read more

This Mexican Restaurant is great! It has some good quesadillas, queso, and more! The service was also quick and friendly.

Holy guacamole, was this place a suprise! We have been driving past its full parking lot for years and never stopped in. Quezon and salsa served when you're seated, a massive menu, some of the best margs I've had in a long time, and all of us thought the food had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. 4.5 stars, only because we did have to wait a little bit for service. read more

El Potro Mexican Cafe - My fam and empty bowls of sauce because it was that good!! - Mexican Near Me - Bonner Springs, Kansas

Cannot say enough good things about this place! We stopped in on a road trip from Colorado back to Ohio, and it was one of the better choices we made all trip. We were seated right away and by the time we got back to the table after a quick bathroom break, there was already a basket of fresh chips and salsa on the table. The chips were legitimately perfect - hot, crispy, salty and on the thinner side. And the SALSA. There was a small bowl in front of each of us...we all got our own salsa! Revolutionary. Double dippers rejoice! The salsa was homemade too - I could taste the fresh cilantro. They also gave us a free bowl of queso which apparently they do for everyone...amazing! The menu is pretty extensive and our server was so friendly and the perfect amount of attentive and helpful (shout out to Maria G - you rock, girl!). I ordered a veggie quesadilla and the other members of our party got a taco salad with grilled chicken, enchiladas, and deep fried ground beef tacos. My quesadilla was filled with charred broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini and came with guac on the side. The vegetable mixture was perfect and the guac was great too...yum! All of the portions were huge and everything was truly delicious and flavorful. We were just sad we were traveling and couldn't take our leftovers with us in the car. All around a wonderful experience - fast, friendly service and delicious, reasonably priced entrees...and amazing chips with individual salsas! Gush over - just go eat here. Thank you, El Potro! read more

the food is always great. the servings are huge. the servers are attentive without hovering.

Pulled up and parking lot was packed, good sign already. We expected to wait with a party of 5, but we were seated within 5-10 minutes! Much bigger than I anticipated inside. Place was clean and comfortable. Surprised that queso(free) was delivered with salsa and chips as we waited for our server. The 3 different margaritas we tried were delicious! Big menu made the decision on what to eat a little difficult, but everyone loved their food. Even my 2 year old was happy! This is our new Friday night dinner spot! We came back the following week and it was just as good! Everyone we interacted with, that works here, have been polite and attentive. Can't wait to come back again!! read more

If you are a vegetarian DO NOT go here!!! I ordered the California burrito. From the menu, the burrito sounded like a tasty vegetarian option. I ordered it without fungus (mushrooms). I cut into it and started eating it. I didn't pay too much attention because I was in conversation with an old friend. After about my third or fourth bite, I noticed something that looked like meat. I took apart the burrito and sure enough, there were a few pieces of steak and loads of mushrooms. read more

Unbelievable steak fajita tacos. Deeeeeep sangria margarita. Ask for a quart of Queso to go. You can live on it for a week. They'll give you a huge bag of warm chips. Drive thru is even better. Birthday sombrero fun! read more

El Potro serves up traditional Mexican fare along with good drinks from the bar! They have really good customer service and have always made their customers feel appreciated! They have locations in Paola, Lee's Summit, Lawrence, and Bonner Springs. The location in Bonner has a nice little outside patio where you can enjoy your margaritas in the fresh air! I have tried several of their dishes and all have been very tasty. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I haven't been able to try everything they offer yet. I would recommend the fajitas or the pork carnitas tamales. The barbacoa tacos weren't too bad either! If you like Burritos then the Burrito Del Mar is a bit of a different twist then you're probably used too, but it was still good! It has shrimp, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini and broccoli. Served with white sauce and avocado. read more

Good fast food. The folks here are always helpful and friendly too. The Carnitas and the sea food enchiladas are my go to. I have only sat down and enjoyed the restaurant once and enjoyed it immensely. Several other times I ordered my meals to go. They have a full bar and can really whip up a super tasty margarita too. Again, they always answer the phone and my food is always hot and ready. read more

First timer here, and I'm sad to say it was our last. Once we were seated, it took a little bit for someone to even come over to take our drink orders. I ordered a spicy margarita and it was actually decently good! We were served chips & salsa. The one thing that I did like about El Potro is that they give you your first round of queso on the house! We had to ask 3 different people to refill our chips and salsa until someone came around to actually doing it. Service was not the best. I ordered the jalapeno cream cheese chicken enchiladas and my fiancé ordered the barbacoa burrito. Mine, wasn't bad! It was actually pretty good. The barbacoa burrito tasted of nothing but cinnamon. I might have as well just ate cinnamon for dinner. We couldn't even finish it after taking the first bite. Such a bummer that the service was so terrible because they CLEARLY had enough people working that day. read more

There are always cars in this parking lot! People love El Porto! Taco Tuesdays and daily specials keep people coming back. Not my #1 fav in the area but their beers, margs, chips and dips, meats, rice, beans and Tex mex delights will leave you with a full tummy. Good selection of cervezas which is muy importante for my family. Ha! Service is speedy and they have good space for big groups of people. Chicken taco was pretty dry meat but the salsa helped spice it back up. Check this place out if you're in the area and check Yelp for other great Mexi Spots close by! read more

Amazing food. The service is excellent. The place was very organized. It was my second time trying it and will keep coming back.

Great place to eat if you like Mexican food,only downside is their green chili is really salty

Big and spacious so we got right in on a Saturday night prime time. Served chips salsa and queso customary. It was authentic and fresh, we loved it. I ordered chicken fajitas, my mom had enchiladas and husband enchilada taco combo. Everything was awesome. We were passing through from a baseball game in Johnson County and needed a quick dinner. So good, right off the highway and worth it. Highly recommend. Oh and our waitress was super sweet, friendly and punctual. High Five! read more
