    Fajita Salad
    Connie S.

    We were picking up an antique in Paola and looking for a local place to eat, used Yelp and El Potro popped up! We were not disappointed! Staff was friendly & attentive to us. Lots of choices on menu. Food was served promptly & presentation was inviting. Every bite was delicious. If ever we're back in town we will visit again!

    The food was hot when arrived and delicious. I recommend this place. I do wish they had more aguas fresas. They only had horchata.

    The food came hot to the table which is how I like my food. I ordered the shredded beef burrito with rice and beans. My husband got the supremo fajita. It did not disappoint. The food was great. I would come again and the cheese dip and salsa they provide while you wait was delicious.

    My parents have been coming here for years, bringing my kids with them. It's such a staple in our family that my kids wonder if my parents ever go to another restaurant! I finally went there with everyone and found out why: this place is a hidden gem in Paola, Kansas! Excellent Mexican food with wonderful, friendly service, El Porto offers much to its patrons. With many tasty selections to choose from, one cannot go wrong. Our server was Kenya and she was AMAZING. I'll be sure to go back with...or without...my parents!

    I really wanted to have a great experience. The only Mexican restaurant around and the best hours for our small town. I ordered the Special for the night - Carnitas and it was so disappointing. Chunks of unseasoned meat. Not carnitas at all. Could not / will not visit again.

    To go lid in my drink

    I had a To go cup lid with a name on it in my fountain drink. Didn't see it tell I was done with the drink. My shrimp was not fully cooked and all they wanted to do was give me a 10% discount

    Combination San Luis.

    Great service, great food. We drive from Prairie Village to eat here. Consistently crowded, get here early.

    My two chicken tacos ($8) with side of black beans ($3) were served just a couple of minutes after…read moreI ordered at the window. The two tacos were generously sized, with plenty of fresh cabbage mix, cheese, and flavorful, moist, shredded, marinated chicken with tasty orange sauce (available bottled separately) on fresh, soft, 6" tortillas. I also enjoyed the nicely sized side of tasty black beans with cheese. I liked the somewhat friendly and efficient service. They accept credit cards, with an itemized receipt sent to the email associated with your card. You can find them in Stillwell at199th & Metcalf (where they have a nice outdoor seating area with picnic tables) for lunch on Thursdays, in Louisburg for dinner on Tuesdays, and at other events. Everything was delicious, and you have to like the word play on KC Deeyas versus quesadillas (one of their featured items), but the prices seemed relatively high. Overall, very nice.

    I hired them for an annual backyard party. They arrived and were set up plenty early, The food came…read moreout very quickly. The portions are huge but more importantly OUTSTANDING! I had 80-100 guests, most of which ordered food. I made sure to go around and ask everyone how their food was. The responses were 100% great. Not one complaint. The staff was extremely pleasant and took time to answer questions about the menu. My son said it's the best Quesadilla he's ever had. I highly recommend. Thank you KC Deeyas for making our party even better.
