    Classic Margarita
    Idania B.

    We went for dinner on Friday night and while it was busy there was no wait and we were seated right away. They have a variety of drinks, I tried the classic margarita. It came in a huge glass, and tasted delicious. The entrees come in big portions and are well priced. Overall, the service was good and we will definitely be back.

    We had an incredible lunch experience. I ordered the shredded beef enchilada and tostada special. Both were filled with lots of beef. The rice and refried beans were also delicious. Our waitress was friendly and service was great.

    Chicken Mole
    Cynthia L.

    I've heard about this restaurant for years but never tried it until last week. I really wanted to love it, but I would have to say everything was just mediocre. The atmosphere is sort of like an upgraded Taco Bell or fast food restaurant, with very basic tables, minimal decor, and everything on the older side. The service was good, not great, in that we waited a while for drink refills even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I am a huge mole fan and get it at every Mexican restaurant I go to and this was not up to par. It did not taste like a traditional mole at all. I will say that the chips were fresh and very tasty and there was no issue getting refills on the chips. With so many Mexican restaurants in the area to try I don't know if I'll be back here anytime soon.

    Steak rice and refried beans

    I had steak rice and beans with corn tortillas Very tasty Added there spicy sauce yummy

    Queso Fundido, a refreshing frozen margarita and their free chips and salsa

    We've driven passed Guadalajara many times and have always said we want to stop in one day to try it! Well one day finally came yesterday, after many days of Thanksgiving leftovers, we wanted to get out of the house and go somewhere we hadn't before. We came with our 10 year old daughter and loved it! The restaurant is nice and simple which I enjoy, Mexican decor adorns the interior, staff very warm and welcoming upon entering. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted and provided a basket of freshly made chips and two bowls of salsa, man the salsa was so good! Their menu is pretty extensive, it was hard to choose what we wanted, we decided to get a smorgasbord of items. I ordered queso fundido with chorizo and flour tortillas, a chile relleno stuffed with beef (your choice of meat) and a side of corn tortillas, mambo enchiladas which includes four enchiladas drizzled with four different sauces and your choice of meat, we went with chicken. My daughter ordered the kids burrito filled with shredded beef. Wow the portions of everything was amazing! The food was flavorful, we couldn't get enough, even my picky daughter nearly cleared her plate! Our waitress was the sweetest, very attentive, regularly checking in and offering salsas. She brought a hot sauce to the table that I'm now obsessed with. When we got home I asked my daughter what she'd rate it out of 10 and she gave it 10/10. We look forward to coming back!

    Fajitas

    Service was great!!! Soup was average but honestly its just not my type. Fajitas were amazing!!!!

    Fried Whole Snapper
    Daniel G.

    My co-worker turned me onto this place! Settled in a nice quiet neighborhood, One of the best Mexican Restaurants I've been to... Everything Tastes Authentic and Fresh! Highly recommend to bring Family, Co-workers, or friends! The staff is very friendly... I had the Whole Fried Snapper this time! Nicely seasoned.

    Service was fast the food was not bad. I think the fajitas needed something not sure what. The nachos are good with steak. It's usually very mellow which we like.

    Burrito norteño
    Mad R.

    In Pincrest there are not that many good Mexican restaurants , this place is one of the few. They are always consistent, the food is delicious , the service is always so friendly, and it's good price for the amount of food you receive. The inside of the restaurant is cute and they always serve chips and salsa which are tasty. The meals are big portions. It comes with the burritos and a side of rice , beans and toppings for the burrito.

    Craving Mexican? Run, don't walk, to Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in Pinecrest! This family-owned spot hits all the right notes--warm vibes, amazing service, and food that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. We had the shredded beef burrito and fajitas, and wow... flavor overload in the best way. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just plain delicious. Consider this your official sign to go!

Parking was a bit challenging due to the limited number of spaces, but once we walked inside, the experience more than made up for it. We were warmly greeted by Carolina, who also became our server. She was incredibly patient and took her time walking us through the menu, explaining each dish and how everything is prepared. Her dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out, and we hope management recognizes what an asset she is. Carolina proudly shared that every item on the menu is made in‑house, and it absolutely shows. My wife ordered the Quesadilla de Pollo with a side of Arroz Mexicano and couldn't stop talking about the exceptional flavors. I chose the Tostada al Pastor, a small Tortilla Soup, and a side salad. Everything was delicious, but the Tortilla Soup was the star of the meal--a perfect example of why in‑house preparation matters. Since we're not from the area, we weren't sure where to go for lunch, and we truly lucked out choosing Don Maguey--and having Carolina as our server. Thank you, Carolina. As the banner on the app says, MEXICAN FOOD MADE WITH LOVE, and our visit proved it.

    BEWARE: Before I get to the food; the waitress is manipulating the system to receive more of a tip…read more My food total charge with tax was $60 and change, I left a $10 and change tip. When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

We went here between January 27 & February 6/2026. La Potranca has five Florida locations, but this cantina does not feel like a chain. Authentic sabor Mexicano with an excellent friendly staff. Family friendly & handi-able accesible from the parking lot. This location gets full by 7pm but there is extended service & seating in the common covered courtyard. Plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Service is excellent, fast, & great choices of tacos & drinks. You can choose from 14 different meats/cuts for your tacos, including birria & al pastor. Bow to the taco! Also gringas, vampiros, & burritos. They have bowls (they're BIG) & brunch. p.s. try the churros with 3 dipping sauces. Drinks are extra special here. The clamato & beer cocktail is very unique. Served in a Tajin rimmed large mug, with lime & a tamarind wrapped straw. Excellante! Also a variety of margaritas served in whimsical glasses & their three house cervazas (beers) on draft. La Potranca pays homage to iconic singer & actor Vincente Fernandez "King of Ranchera". Check out the interesting connection with the staff or online. The staff here is excellent. Very helpful when navigating the menu. Very friendly. True professionals. Special shout out to Mauricio & Ralphael - you hombres make this place truly special. Mucho Gracias. We give La Potranca our highest recommendation.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

Online it shows the quesadilla is $13, when I ordered it was $14 + 2.50 for onions and tomatoes (which ended up coming on the side). Also, when I asked to order that, the waitress was a bit rude. So I ended up paying $17.82 for a terrible quesadilla and experience. I really liked the horchata matcha though (hence the 2 stars).

Koko is among the natural tree canopy of Coconut Grove, the 6,000 sq ft indoor & outdoor restaurant & bar transported us to Mexico with its sophisticated and artistic design, cacti garden, and outdoor bar & terrace. The 170 seat restaurant & bar conveys a fun, lively & warm setting to enjoy our Mexican meal. The open view kitchen allowed us to watch the handcrafted tortilla baking & wall showcasing over 400 mezcales & tequilas. We sat outdoors in the magnificent cacti garden. We started with frozen margaritas, they were smoky, icy cold & refreshing. We opted to share a skirt steak taco platter, passing up the insects on the menu. The tacos came out in minutes before our margaritas. The skirt steak was lean, juicy, and so tender we could cut it with a fork. Our meal was absolutely excellent. An 18% service charge was added to our bill. Service was quick and on point.

    I've been going to Koko since it opened, and until now I've always had great experiences…read more Unfortunately, my recent visit during the Mexico World Cup match was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. Before going, we called the restaurant to ask if they would be showing the World Cup games, and we were told they would be showing all of them. Based on that, we expected a good viewing experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There aren't enough TVs, many of the views are obstructed, and we actually had to move to the bar just to see part of the game. Even then, the music was so loud that we couldn't hear the match at all. When we asked the manager about it, he told us that ownership's instructions were to play music instead of the game's audio. That was especially surprising considering this is a Mexican-owned restaurant and the match was a Mexico World Cup game. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. To be fair, the restaurant was only about half full, so this wasn't a situation where the staff was overwhelmed by a packed house or unusually heavy demand. I was there with two female friends. I ordered a martini while my friends simply asked for water. The bartender reacted as if asking for water was somehow an inconvenience. We weren't even served chips and salsa until we repeatedly waved down members of the staff and specifically requested them. The bartenders consistently ignored us. My friends waited nearly 20 minutes before anyone came back so they could order their martinis. We later ordered guacamole and the Leña skirt steak. The guacamole arrived promptly, but the steak never did. When we asked another bartender to check on it, he looked in the system and told us there was no food order entered at all. This was unbelievable because the original bartender had described the dish, asked how we wanted the steak cooked, and appeared to take the order. He simply never entered it. When we complained to the manager about the missing food, he told us the kitchen was already closed but that he would "make an exception" and have the steak prepared for us. That response really upset me because this wasn't us asking for special treatment--it was the restaurant trying to correct its own mistake. I told him to simply cancel the order. He then said not to worry because he wouldn't charge us for it, as if not charging for a meal would somehow make up for the experience we had just endured. I declined the offer, but he responded by saying he would bring it anyway and that if we didn't want it, we could just leave it there. To me, that response was even more dismissive and completely missed the point. Throughout the evening, the bartenders were inattentive, dismissive, and consistently rude. Their attitude completely overshadowed what had always been one of my favorite restaurants in Coconut Grove. By halftime, we had simply had enough. Instead of continuing what should have been a fun night, we decided to leave the restaurant and go home, where we watched the rest of the Mexico match in the comfort of my home. Sadly, that turned out to be the best part of the night. I'm writing this review because I know Koko is capable of much better. My previous visits have always been enjoyable, which made this experience even more disappointing. However, if you're planning to watch a World Cup match there, I would strongly recommend choosing another venue. While they may tell you they'll be showing the game, the viewing experience is poor, the game audio is replaced with loud music, and based on our visit, the service was, without question, the worst I've experienced there since the restaurant opened. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously because Koko has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and I'd like to be able to recommend it again. Unfortunately, after this experience, I simply can't.

I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box.

They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost!

I took a few bites and had to give the rest to our dogs. What a shame. My daughter couldn't finish her burrito either. I tasted her steak burrito and it didn't taste like any steak that I have ever tried. So disappointing. The guac and chips were good but they were like a little side dish.

Finally when she was helped, the guy said that the bag sitting there was ours!! She was highly irritated fir the poor service. He should have checked to see if his customer was there to pick up the only bag on the counter. In retrospect, we should have tasted our burritos before driving home to taste them but we trusted them. Sorry to say, we won't be going back.
