Outdoor seating

I came in at around 8 pm on a Thursday evening. I ordered a grilled steak quesadilla. There are not too many customers. The restaurant is well decorated and clean. The servers are polite and friendly. I love the food I ordered. I will love to come back again.

Chicken tacos.

We went during the lunch rush and it still was a fast seating. Fast service and good food. It really doesn't stand out better than anything else but it never disappoints because it is consistent.

2 Enchiladas 1 steak and 1 chicken rice and beans with hot chips and salsa

Excellent food and great service! It is a family owned business that has stood the test of time and been here for more than 20+. years. Whoever I bring with me for the first time, I can Always count on them having a wonderful experience. The atmosphere, the paintings are original and unique. You can sit indoors or outdoors. The aroma is absolutely enticing!!!

I've been going to El Potro since 2001. It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. Always consistent. The food is always good. My favorites are the Pollo Loco & Carne Asada tacos, and I love their homemade chips and salsa. Highly recommended.

Chimichanga lunch!

Damarama ding dong day! I completely forgot how much I liked El Potro trying so many other new to me places. Used to do them back in college when they had the buffet. Easy solid 9. All the salsas were excellent. Love that orange stuff!! Food was great. We happened upon exceptional exemplary service. Our waiter was just awesome. Going to have to throw them back into the rotation.

Bean Chalupa and Enchilada
Kaley J.

El Potro is an affordable dining option with authentic food! It's very casual with fast and friendly service. Most menu items are under $10! The bean chalupa and enchilada were very tasty! Their margaritas were also delicious and a good size! I'll be back!

King Quesadilla  This is all the peppers and onions that are in it that are specified on the menu.

Ordered king quesadilla on uber eats. In the summary of the item it said NOTHING about peppers and onions being in it. It was FULL of onions and peppers. I would consider it a peppers and onion quesadilla with a side of chicken in it. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Carnitas Tacos de Carnitas
Candy F.

The food and service area always excellent at this location. I have my favorites that I usually order. The carnitas Tacos are always a great choice.

Shrimp quesadilla
Aliya H.

I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the lunch special shrimp quesadilla with rice and refried beans. She ordered the beef tip burritos. Everything was SO good. The food came out fast. This was my first time here but I'll definitely be back. Good food at low prices.

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!…read more we started with the guac, queso, & salsa - all super delicious!!! perfectly fresh and flavorful. for my meal i had the birria brisket tacos and they were probably the best birria i've ever had. didn't even need to dip into the consommé because of how juicy and packed they already were. the poblano salsa was perfect. even the rice! delicious. will be dreaming about this. the atmosphere was open and welcoming! service was prompt and friendly. + you get a water pitcher at the table for self pours, always appreciated!!!!! 10/10 would recommend

I stopped by Agave Azul after work with a group of coworkers to relax and unwind. Even though we…read morehad a fairly large group, our waitress was attentive and checked on us often to make sure everyone had what they needed. Our food came out quickly, arrived hot, and everything was prepared correctly I ordered the chicken fajitas, which came with three soft tacos, rice, beans, sour cream, and lettuce. The chicken was cooked perfectly. I think it could have used a little more seasoning, but overall the meal was very good. I also treated myself to a strawberry margarita and it didnt disappoint! The restaurant was a little busy, but remained clean and well kept. Also the parking lot is shared by several businesses so finding a spot was challenging. The Winter Park area tends to stay busy so it was no surprise. I've been to Agave Azul several times and its always a good vibe! If you're looking for good food and an authentic Mexican experience this is the place for you!

I've really been trying to visit new places rather than go back to places I've already been, but…read morewhen you want authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices, I have to break my rule and come back. I've now been three times and they're always busy and better for take out if you live nearby because sometimes waiting for the tables to turn can take a bit because they're so popular and it's such a small dining area (6 booths). But if you're patient, it's worth it. Everything I've tried I like.

What a cute little hole-in-the-wall spot I found. Highly recommend! On Cinco De Mayo, I went to go…read morevisit my favorite Mexican restaurant and unfortunately, not to my surprise, it was an 90 minute ish wait for 2 of us. Unfortunately, as much as I love the food there and the ambience, especially on Cinco de Mayo, I was starving! I remembered around the corner there was a restaurant that had been recommended in the past, but I never got the chance to check out. Being that I was in the area, I figured let's give this spot a try. Lo and behold, El Pueblo was only six minutes down the road! There was a 20 minute wait, but I was greeted kindly by the staff, and when I walked in you could tell this place was super authentic. The decor was super vibrant and music was bumping. They do not have alcohol, but they have coronas and a margarita type glass premixed for purchase. That held us over for the time being. The chips and salsa were phenomenal. The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!

Phone definitely did not eat first at Adelitas. They have such a wide range of food on the menu…read morefrom seafood to carne asada to soups. All made with love and you can seriously tell how much pride this business takes in each and every dish they put out. My husband and I got the skinny margaritas, had a few shots, and the best food. I could drown myself in their refried beans. Shout out to Jesus who has always taken such great care of us every time we've visited since they've opened. This place is so laid back, a great place to come to yap with friends. I love Adelitas so much and cannot wait to see where their next location takes them.

The fajitas came out without the sizzle of the skillet (disappointing but not a deal breaker) and the chipotle chicken was overly salty. I would have gladly let my server know the food was too salty, but unfortunately they nearly completley absent our entire dining experience. We love the table salsa and could not find them in the restaurant to ask for more until our food was delivered. But after that, we never saw them again. It wasn't until the bartender noticed us looking, that we were able to ask for our check. There was maybe 4 tables in the restaurant during this time and 0 staff presence.
