If you're in Granby for a hike or passing through make sure to stop here for food! Everything was fresh, hot and you could tell made from scratch. The service was absolutely wonderful and the menu is extensive! We tried Birria tacos, the Jalisco special tacos, chips and salsa and the elote appetizer. Horchata is 10/10!! Thank you!! read more

The food is very authentic and very fresh. The service is great as long as you don't get the young boy. Nothing against him but I don't think this is the job for him. He isn't very friendly or attentive. Everyone else is amazing. The scenery in there feels authentic as well and we even got plates that say Yellowstone on the back. That was so cool! The salsa is better than any other I've had. The fresh gauc is my favorite!! Love this place read more

Came back to lad pittas for dinner. The one thing I remembered was the guac and pork belly. We still got the guac and pork belly. It definitely was still as I remember and oh so good. No other place does or makes this. This time I got the chile relleno con camarones. And my husband got the las pitras special. The refried beans were so flavorful along with the Mexican rice. You can feel and taste the love they put into the food. The service was beyond and above what we expected. We were checked on constantly and made sure we were happy. They definitely try to make you feel at home here. Wil comeback. read more

What a gem...all from scratch entree.so a bit of a wait ..but well worth the wait. Pleasant ambience and great staff... read more

We were very impressed with the food and service here. It was our first meal in this 1 yr old eatery. They do, unfortunately, use Canola oil, dang. But they were more than kind switching it out with olive oil and butter for every dish we ordered and were meticulous about changing us from refried to black beans to avoid even pre-made Canola-laden food. Kennedy was a caring young man serving us, and his mom, Adrianna, backed him up to assure our complete satisfaction. This is a family place. I asked if the kitchen crew were also their family. Adrianna smiled and said, "Different family, but yes, family." We enjoyed a top sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled (olive oil) onions. So delicious. And my birthday hubby had Cameron (shrimp) al mojo (garlic sauce), which was wonderful to his last spoonful of mojo sauce. We topped off a perfect dinner with the best flan ever, swimming in caramel and generous and so beautiful. We shall return. read more

This place came recommended in my yelp search. Seemed to have good reviews, so thought I'd give it a try. Not gonna lie, I'm skeptical since we have some amazing Mexican restaurants in Colorado! I'm traveling, so a great time to explore by way of my stomach! Sunday evening, parking lot wasn't busy. Very small and cozy place. The restaurant is 6 tables and a bar area for seating, so manageable for sure. The place was vibrantly decorated with exciting colors, clean and simple. Staff were very friendly, very quiet atmosphere. House margarita was about average. Decent size glass, but I'm comparing it to some pretty high standards. Not $15 good. I saw there were dishes offering shredded beef, but did not see it offered under the chimichanga menu. I requested a chimichanga with shredded beef, but was delivered a shredded chicken chimichanga. Tasted it for curiosity. I requested a shredded beef, but was only offered a ground beef. I noticed both tasted the same, despite different proteins. The sauce sadly tasted canned, despite being told it was homemade. My overall impression was the dishes were plain and not too exciting, including the rice and beans. Total was about $40 after 20% tip. read more

Saturday night and this place was hopping! We were promptly seated, and a carafe of ice water, and some corn chips with salsa were promptly placed on our table. The chips seem like they came out of a bag as they weren't warm or feel like they were homemade. The salsa was decent, a little watery, and was very cold. Refrigerated salsa kind of puts up a red flag for me like it was store-bought. I may be wrong, but that's the feeling I got. So now that all this is on the table, I got to take in the decorative format of this Mexican restaurant. It is not bougie at all, it is just so local and welcoming. The order was placed for a margarita, for my guest, with that jalapeño tequila in it, and mango. There was a salt like substance around the rim that looked like brown sugar! I ordered a Coca-Cola. Hey, I'm driving! My dinner guest ordered a beef chimichanga, and I ordered the steak and cheese chimichanga. Both were accompanied by refried brown beans and rice. Also accompanying this beautiful dish with guacamole and sour cream. The chimichanga was topped with a delicious red sauce, that had a decent kick to it. This was quite possibly one of the best Mexican dishes I've ever had. But keep in mind, I haven't had that much Mexican food in my many years on this earth Service was simply amazing. This must be a family run restaurant. Everybody on staff took part in making our visit enjoyable. This restaurant is so traditional, and I love it! After going to La Joya Mexican Kitchen in Simsbury and TJ Burrito in East Granby, this one topped them all. For dessert came fried ice cream. I've never had this before. This experience was just so so. I didn't like the coating on top of the ice cream. It was like kind of sticky coconut. Maybe there was some caramel in it. Anyways, I scraped the coating aside, and enjoyed the delicious vanilla ice cream inside. I love this place. The vibe is perfect! If you're ever in the Granby area, this restaurant is located in an unassuming plaza north of the rotary and center of Granby. It is on the right hand side, heading north . You have to really be looking for the plaza. The total for two dinners, one margarita, one soda, and the fried ice cream came to $72. With the $16 tip, I was quite satisfied at $88. I really look forward to coming back here. If you are ever cruising the back roads and need a good lunch, consider this place. Loved the experience, the vibe, and the service. read more

So my wife found this location based on a Yelp recommendation. We decided to head there for dinner. Some backstory. We're both from Southern California, and since moving to CT we find ourselves continuously searching for flavors that we know and love. Generally I wasn't expecting much, except the other Yelp review mentioned they're from Arizona and the flavors are legitimately good. We arrived about 6pm for dinner and were given a seat right away. The restaurant is nicely decorated with colorful chairs and paint. A large portrait of Frida Kahlo hangs in the corner, greeting everyone as they enter. The staff were quick to greet and find us a seat. We were hungry and started with fajita nachos, which when I took my first bite, I looked at my wife and said, "these are surprisingly good." Nachos are a favorite of our son's, and generally not something I'd order, but these were tasty and had a slightly smoky flavor to them chicken that made them pop. When our entrees arrive, I knew we had found a gem. My shrimp enchiladas had an incredible richness of flavor; topped with the tomatillo salsa, the shrimp underneath were grilled over an open flame and maintained that slight smoky flavor. The tortillas were soft, the cheese a nice rich flavor without dissolving into a pool of oil as other restaurants do. The rice on the side was quite good, but the refried beans were puréed and so smooth. I could eat those all day, as they weren't crusty and congealed, but a cream that complemented the dish. I had to try a fish taco (Southern California, remember) and the fish was lightly battered, very bright and very crispy. No heavy batter here, no oily feeling that will slow you down. The fish was surrounded by very fresh veg and topped with a crema Mexicana that tied it all together, in a soft tortilla. A plate of three will run you about $20, I had one for I think $6. My son had a dry chimichanga, a dish that is one of his favorites thanks to Deadpool's recommendation. He thought their version was really tasty, worthy to bring his other Deadpool-loving friends to try. He chose to fill it with pastor meat, but while the menu described it as being made with pineapple, he didn't have any and was slightly disappointed as he was looking for that flavor. My other son, not satisfied with polishing off the chicken fajita nachos, ordered the same as a burrito, which he ate a majority of before becoming full after eating half. He's a growing kid who routinely will order two giant-sized Jersey Mike's sandwiches, eating one at dinenr, and the other for the next day's lunch. When he said he was full, I raised an eyebrow. My wife had the pastor burrito, which with the tomatillo sauce on top, said it reminded her of a really great chili con carne. After these amazing flavors, we had to try a dessert together, and although they had a fresh apple crumble and carrot cake, the boys hadn't yet had fried ice cream, so we got that. A scoop of cinnamon ice cream surrounded by a delicious cookie shell, with little blackberries in the orbit like tiny treasures. If I had any criticism, it would be that the dessert needed more blackberries to help with the flavor and balance. All in all, a great meal and end to the day. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We'll be back soon to try some other dishes, but those shrimp enchiladas will call to me... and I might need to revisit. For Yelp purposes, of course. Six stars if I could award them. read more

I have had a few recent experiences here, that hopefully are rectified by some criticism here. First was an interesting dinner with my family. We had a server, "Kennedy", that may need to learn waiter etiquette for customer experience. He made a few errors- let's call them that- first was being audibly annoyed at a special order request. Then later in the meal I had asked for a refill on my soft drink. He replied "Hold on, hold on, I will get it in awhile". Not a typical response by any means. Tonight, I was with my son dining again here. (The food IS great). Just two of us. Not busy. Ordered a chicken chimichanga and got a beef. Our waiter just kind of shrugged off her error as an oh well. There was no offer to really rectify the situation. My suggestion to the restaurant- change the menu. Instead of the confusing chimichanga menu section, with one listed as Prime Steak with chicken listed as an option, just make a section called chimichangas and offer beef, chicken, fajita chicken, shrimp etc, and then choose a sauce to top it. Tonight unfortunately annoyed me. Not sure I am going back any time soon. read more

"Baby what a big surprise Right before my very eyes" (Chicago) We had lunch today at what by my count, is the fifth and newest Mexican Restaurant in the Farmington Valley. We were surprised at how fantastic it was. Las Potras translates into "the fillies" in English, so that explains some of the images of horses we saw in the beautifully decorated dining room and on the front over of the menu. Go check out some of the dining room and furniture colors- a real rainbow of bright colors and wall décor. Las Potras took over the space occupied by the old Toni Ann's, tore out the U-shaped counter and some of the booths and did a stellar redesign. Our lunch started off with a carafe of ice-cold water and an addictive bowl of fresh tortilla chips with a red salsa with tomato and onion chunks. Our lunch order was two items. Number one was an $18 Grilled Chicken Quesadilla, described as "large flour tortillas stuffed with bell peppers, onions mixed cheese, garnished with lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo and cilantro lime cream". It was a large portion with six wedges chock full of chicken and all of the promised goodies. Number two was a $25 order of Octopus Diablo, described as "tender octopus seared in a skillet and then tossed in a rich, fiery Mexican style sauce made from dried chiles mixed with mushrooms". It was served with Mexican rice, beans, lettuce and tomato. The octopus slices were tender and flavorful, as were the mushrooms and fiery brown chili sauce. It was a beauty of a dish. Our lunch ran $46.16 after tax and before tip, and we each took home half of our dishes for another day. We were very impressed with our first visit to Las Potras. read more

There's a good amount of Mexican restaurants around the area and this happens to be the first one we tried so there is not much baseline to go off of. Off the bat, prices were a bit steep so that's not always fun. I got the pork belly dish which came with two strips of deep fried pork belly and some tortillas on the side, as well as rice and beans. Pretty basic dish came out to be over $20 without much condiments to add to the self made pork belly tacos. I am eager to visit other surrounding restaurants. read more

Fantastic experience yesterday at Las Potras Mexican Restaurant in Granby. Las Potras is located in a small strip mall in northern Granby, not far from the border with Massachusetts. The interior is colorfully decorated, cozy & inviting. We both started off with Margaritas. The Margaritas were "strong", as is typical with most Mexican restaurants. But we soon found out that Las Potras is not your "typical" Mexican place. I lived in Arizona during the 90's, and the Mexican cuisine in that part of the Country is 2nd to none. Since moving back to Connecticut, I've basically been subjected to sub par Mexican food. Las Potras is the REAL DEAL, the menu is extensive, and the food is authentic. Everything we had was fresh & tasty. We started off with the Fresh Guacamole & Pork Belly appetizer. My wife was unsure if she was going to like this appetizer, but she loved it ! The guacamole was so fresh & flavorful. Pork Belly was off the charts. Our meals came out a short time later. I had ordered the Al Pastor Chimichanga, and my wife went the Chicken Chimichanga. Both chimichangas were overstuffed with meat (mine seasoned pork, hers chicken). I absolutely loved the green tomatillo sauce on my chimichanga, and the sautéed pineapple infused with the pork was awesome. Spice level on these chimichangas was perfect, we were extremely happy with our meals. The rice was fluffy and the refried beans were the best I've ever had anywhere. Las Potras is a family owned business, they obviously take pride in the food they serve. Service was also stellar, everyone was very friendly & attentive. We are both looking forward to our next visit there, Las Potras is truly a "hidden gem", it's as good as it gets for Mexican cuisine. read more

After moving to the area from California, I've been going to different Mexican restaurants. Until yesterday, when I finally found the one; most authentic Mexican and delicious food. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean and cozy. The staff is professional, friendly and attentive. I had the camarones al ajo and it was perfect. Also perfect was the margarita, which is made from scratch with real (fresh) fruits, and quality tequila (not the cheap headache producing ones). I'm so happy I found this place!!! read more

Start with Horchata drink cuz it is a hug for your tummy. The margaritas are special, too with a slight Tamarind flavor on the rim. Honestly, everything here tastes great because it is made with a love of feeding people. These ladies enjoy introducing you to tastes from their home and seem to take great pleasure in watching you discover new flavors for you. read more

So the food is decent. And also the workers are not nice. But the floor is clean and also the chair and tables but the outside is bad. read more

Everything about Las Potras is excellent. Small intimate place with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. The margaritas were the best I've had by far! The guacamole outstanding and again best I've ever had (and I'm well travelled). I recommend the mole enchiladas! Finally, prices are modest and won't break your wallet. read more

Second time here and it keeps getting better. Our server (Alex) was so attentive and helpful with menu and drink questions.

We will be back again, this place does not disappoint. read more

Lyle Lovett once said, "Never eat Mexican food east of the Mississippi or north of Dallas!" This place breaks that stereo type I am a Mexican Food junkie. Grew up in Texas and am not a fan of typical TEX-MEX. Love baja-mexican flavors, pacific coast, Jalisco (county in Mexico) flavors. This place has it as good as you can get it, without having those fresh ingredients. You want traditional, they got it. Their Birria is delicious, as well as their tacos. Staple for me is Queso Flameado, Fresh Guac & Pork Belly and the street corn. For the meal, I always go for steak plates, Carne Azada, Rib-eye or Lamb Rack. Love them all. I should venture out more but I always go back to that I love. Family loves the other plates. If the empanadas make it on the menu, don't pass them up. read more

My family truly cherishes this place. The Margaritas are fantastic, but what we always look forward to is the mole burrito--it's absolutely incredible. The warmth of the staff really adds to the experience, making us feel welcome every time we visit. It's a special spot for us. read more

Love this Mexican Restaurant. Delicious food and great service. We are originally from Colorado where Mexican food is plentiful. Allowing for the fact that ingredients, such as certain peppers seem to never make it past the Mississippi River, the food is authentic. My favorite spot. read more

Nothing not to love about this place. The owners are all so great; attentive, hardworking, and creative. The margaritas are fresh, made with real lime juice and you can customize them too. The food is fresh and delicious. The space is warm and inviting. They have a TV on and televise the games, if sports are your thing. The bar is small but perfect. The restaurant is also kid friendly and they have virgin margaritas for your mini pal, in a variety of flavors too! I am not sure but there is a big side room for busy nights and maybe events too. Try their homemade habanero hot sauce! Definitely the best spot in Granby! read more

And the food, which I shared with a friend at home, was very authentic and delicious! read more

Wonderful spot!! Will be back! We sat at the bar, which offered delicious margaritas, fresh salsa and chips. We ordered two types of tacos - the tuna with arugula and avocado & sesame were too die for!!! Super flavor combo. The beef were tasty with offers of crunchy or soft (corn or flour). Both were accompanied by delish rice & beans. The rice had wonderful flavor with bits of veggies and great seasoning. The beans were tasty with just the right amount of salt & great flavor. Will definitely be back for the food, but the service was also super and the artwork throughout the restaurant was so pretty. Loved the carved wood chairs at the big main table which would accommodate a group of 8 easily. Check it out!! read more

Absolutely loved it. read more
