    Vegan fajitas
    Christopher A.

    Had the Vegan fajitas and they were great. Big pile of broccoli, carrots, onion, cauliflower and peppers. The service was good.

    Def the food was wonderful. Everything was clean especially the bathrooms. The menu had everything on it. But the best part of our first time visit was our server. We had a table of 7, and he did not disappoint. I only wrote this review to show our appreciation for him. I hope his name is correct on this receipt.

    Burrito tapatio (lunch)
    Michael I.

    La Potosina (or "the Pot") is a good option for dine-in Mexican good for those that come hungry. The portion sizes are usually very generous and include chips and salsa. Went here for lunch today with a group of 3 and our overall experience was pretty average. The table chips were fairly cold and stale and were never refilled. The salsa was pretty damn good, bulky with a hint of spiciness. One of us ordered the quesadilla rellena, which was a cheese quesadilla stuffed with vegetables. Unfortunately he did not detect much (if any) cheese and there was a shrimp on the end of the quesadilla. Now he has no issues with seafood, but there are obviously other people that do, and furthermore it makes me question their kitchen hygiene. Another of us ordered the burrito tapatio and thought it was decent. It was more of a giant taco and she was under the impression it would be a burrito (given the name). I ordered the chilaquiles per the suggestion of our server. I told him that I wanted something with guac and he told me he would incorporate some guac into the dish. This did not happen. However I did enjoy the meal regardless. The chicken was very tender and mixed well with the sauce and sides. Still didn't love the empty gesture. Our waiter was overall friendly and the food came fairly quickly. The tables were comfortable to sit in but were very close to each other, making it challenging to walk around, although they can clearly accommodate a lot of people.

    I was in Danville and this was one of the few places that still offered dine in, so I stopped there for lunch. They serve Mexican food. I ordered the pork torte because it's one of my favorites and I always like to try it first at any restaurant. There was also a steak option, that I will order if I am ever out there again. The servers were efficient and friendly. They all observed safety protocols, such as masks and gloves. The booths are kind of isolated. Of course, they serve me chips salsa straight off. I also ordered a strawberry margarita which was huge. I had so much brain freeze by the time I was finished with it. The pork was tender and easy to chew. The restaurant was clean. It looked like they were expanding it because there was construction going on outside. The bill was pretty fair for a dine-in restaurant. The torta was served on a sort of subway style bread which I have never seen before. There's a specific type of bread used for tortas and it's not usually subway bread. Still it was pretty tasty and very generous. The liquor per usual kind of expensive, but the food was pretty competitively priced for a dine-in restaurant. The parking was convenient, although it looks like their lot could use a little mending.

It was brimming with fresh garlic, basil and capers. It was beautifully presented with a garnish of marinated basil leaves, tomato, green pepper and onion. We ordered a second basket of their delightful dinner rolls, just to continue enjoying the sauce. As great as the dipping sauce was, their Minestrone soup was one of the best of all that I have had the pleasure of enjoying. The pasta was comprised of penne as well as tortellini, the vegetables were likewise adventurous : artichoke hearts, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes (of course), onions, and capers (see the photo). The stock was rich and flavorful, accented by pieces of lemon , ever so slightly reminiscent of one of my favorite Greek soups, Avgolemono; yet definitely replete with the classic Italian mystique that is Minestrone. The Veal Parmigiana was awesome and their Limoncello Mascarpone was a good rendition of the classic Italian dessert. Our server was the best, and handsome to boot!!

I actually think some of the items here are pretty good, but comparatively speaking, I've certainly had much better. Firehouse is definitely different than what you normally find in Danville. It takes a step away from the Midwestern fare and takes me a bit closer to my personal comfort spot, Southern cooking. When I see fried catfish on the menu, my eyes make a beeline to it. This food can satisfy my cravings until I get home, but would never replace it fully. First time I visited, I got their fried catfish and shrimp combo with fries. Firehouse definitely gets an A+ on their seasoning, they season everything up heavily and more! The catfish was definitely overdone and wasn't flakey. The shrimp was pretty subpar in my opinion, really rubbery and not very fun to eat. It was just greasy and messy to eat. The french fries here are superb though. I came back and was in the mood for their gyro. They really loaded that sandwich up, I would say they made it too big for its own good. Don't get me wrong, I love extra food, but the extra food caused the sandwich to collapse on itself. I ended up eating the items individually, rather than all together. And I am aware that this is not a specialty Arabic/Greek restaurant, but the quality of the gyro meat was just fine, nothing too crazy. I really want to like this place more than I have so far. The employees here are super nice and the menu is just so appealing and is a nice change in pace to the diner style menus. Having that variety instantly makes it a place worthy of a revisit in my eyes!

On this visit, they were offering a $6 Fish Basket. That was right up our alley. Two pieces of fish, waffle fries and two hush puppies for $6. We each ordered one and a drink to share. We sat in the parking lot to enjoy our meals before hopping back on the highway. Everything was hot and fresh. So much so that I forgot to take a picture until the meal was almost gone. The fish was a bit greasy, but I'm almost certain that the grease was clean. You can just tell when it's old, the fish will have little black bits on it. Service was fast and efficient. They gave us plenty of condiments and napkins as well. We will continue to come here when we're in town.

I would've liked to get a salad, but they only had iceberg lettuce and due to it's lack of nutritional value I thought that to be a waste of space in my stomach. The only other veggie options I saw were overcooked green beans (limp and watery) and broccoli chicken or pepper chicken. All veggies come sauced and with chicken, apparently! What I did get onto my plate was hit or miss. The trend seemed to be that the Asian options were the best. The general tso's, sweet n' sour and teriyaki chicken were good. The teriyaki had a few dry pieces, but I think they just weren't that fresh. The same with the fried shrimp. It was really hard and tasted old. The egg roll was mushy and disappointing, though. The macaroni and cheese was disgusting. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted instant, but I have a soft spot for instant potatoes! A little salt and pepper and they were just fine. I had two helpings. I managed to find some plain ole steamed cauliflower that I paired with the clarified butter meant for the crab legs that were on special for Father's Day. The staff were nice and kept our plates cleared, but a refill of my soda was hard to come by. They do offer a 10% discount for seniors over the age of 60, which is nice. We finished off the meal with ice cream, served in individual cups. They also offered chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip that you scoop yourself... definitely not the most sanitary.
