Good food - had burrito and pineapple agua fresca. Good location - new, clean. Good menu - lots of options.

First time guests. The nacho chips are subpar. Bottom layer of chips were swimming in meat juice, not good. The tomatoes, lettuce & cheese were fresh. The meat was fine. On the OG tacos, I would suggest more flavor on the meat and less dry/breaking corn shells. But they were decent tasting with plenty of meat. We will revisit, for sure, to support them. It's a clean new building which is nice. Great Mexican bottled drinks too! read more

Very sterile looking restaurant. Nothing on walls. 2 guys working. Order at counter. Not busy at all. Took 20 minutes to get food. Ordered tacos,burrito and chips/salsa. Chips were stale. Green salsa was not good. Had a strong sour taste. Steak tacos were flavorless. Burrito no flavor and the rice in it and on side were sour tasting as well. Maybe they overloaded it with lime? Could not even eat half of it. read more

Food was delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Awesome service. My daughter and I had a great meal.

Food is made to order so it's fresh. Super friendly. And the place is super clean, especially the bathrooms. The Cali burrito is fire!!!

Outstanding food and the owners are so kind and friendly. We really enjoyed our dinner experience at the new dine-in location and wish them all the best on their success. We'll be back! read more

It's more like a take out place than a restaurant. Paper plates, beer in cans, no sports, no customers, very sterile environment. The food is quite good but they don't follow instructions well. read more

It is a well-lit cafeteria style restaurant. They have self serve water available and the food is served in take out containers. The green salsa is excellent. The torta was very good with ample meat. The taco salad was also good, but I'm not sure I would recommend the barbacoa as it was pretty fatty. The prices are reasonable. read more

Went to the new location today. Very expensive for bland Mexican food. I was charged for hot sauce without being told it would cost me $2 extra. Whatever, but shady. The food is far from being good. read more

We've been going here for years. Old location and now the new spot. Our kids love their food which is rare for our kids to agree on the same thing. It's definitely authentic. We always get ours to go. Some favorites are their ginger carrots, beans & tacos. Kids love the quesadilla plate. It's not cheap but is reasonable. And it's not a place you go for the environment; you go for the FOOD. It's our go-to choice. We're happy to have it here in Columbia!! read more

I have been going to Los Potros for years. I can truly say that they are the best small Gem in Columbia. I lived on the boarder of Mexico for years when I was younger. We would cross over the boarder just to get street tacos. Los Potros is by far the closest thing they have in this area. Their OG tacos are perfect with just your choice of meat, cilantro and onions, and their barbacoa is heavenly. I also have to say, I love their green salsa. Just try them out, you will really enjoy them! read more

Los Potros Authentic Mexican Food - bringing family to try them out! - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

Decent food, disappointing experience. While Los Potros may have just grown up and moved into a real restaurant building as opposed to a little taco stand where you had to eat outside on picnic tables, their customer service needs some maturity, as well. Just ate there for the first time since they moved. Still don't have any napkins, instead offer coarse folded bathroom paper towels. Great for drying hands, not so good for wiping hot sauce off your face. Speaking of hot sauce, they guard it very carefully and you have to go up front and wait to ask for a tiny little cup if you need more. Would be great if they could mirror what other Mexican taco joints do and have hot sauce available in a common area in bottles to use at the tables. Also, I ordered 3 big street tacos, but was only given ONE tiny little 1/8 of a lime that wasn't enough to coat a single taco. Waited in line to ask for a few more limes and was told I would have to pay for them. Seriously? The food is decent, but they've got to work on some of these other things. read more

I own the house next door to this amazing Taco Shop. We LOVE the tacos and REAL sugar Mexican Cokes ! LA style true California quality Mexican food here! The salsa (both red and green) itself is reason enough to check it out! Awesome Chicken tacos that even my 5 year old loves. Gabriel the owner is taking his Grandmother's secret recipes and giving the people of Columbia something special.... he's a real friendly guy and it's a family operation with dedication and passion you can taste. Seriously the best Cali style Mex I've had in the Nashville area read more

let me set the stage for you. imagine walking into a gas station vibe and ordering 8 tacos on a self serve screen. no sides come with it so you order a side of chips and salsa. you order 4 drinks. so in the end you get 8 tacos, a bag of cold chips, four room temp 12oz can drinks and a bill for $67 you coming back? I'm not. read more

The food is great! We ordered the taco plates to try all the tacos. They were out of chicken, the others were great. In order of preference pastor, asada, barbacoa, chorizo yummy!!! The green saldo was oh so good!! You can sit out front or take the food to go. It was a little tricky for us to find the spot. The corner or 9th and main set back just a little. For sure would recommend! read more

I asked them if they had anything sweet. He told me a "churro". I explained that I don't like them. He asked me if I tried his. I told him I didn't. He gave me one and I took a bite just to be polite. Let me tell you, it was so good. I hardly believe this was a churro. I also ordered a soupe and an OG taco. The food was wonderful. This is my new "go to" place for Mexican and of course I will be ordering a churro as well. Thank you for their good food and awesome service. read more

Best tacos in Columbia. Authentic, great flavor and tasty salsa. Please note that while I love Tennessee, I'm from the western US having lived in Southern California and Arizona where tacos are king. These tacos would hold up out there. read more

Have been to this spot, three times now. First time tacos were amazing. I ordered carne asada and it was real grilled meat not boiled. Burrito was okay nothing special. The last two times I have gone it has been average. Came from California so it is hard to find real authentic Mexican food out here. read more

What a great place!! The food is fresh, and has great tasteI was so pleased! . They gave friendly service. I will definitely be back!!! We ordered tamales and I can't wait to get them for Christmas. read more

Walked in cold knowing nothing but reviews off of Yelp. And, not disappointed what so ever, I love a good small homey, dive place. Ordered right from the cook, super fresh and hot. Had the pollo quesadillas with normal fixed, carrots and super delicious green salsa. Ice cold beverage! Will be a go too place when wifey is out. I could live on good food like this! Next time is the Barbacoa! Open it up and ate it thinking I needed a picture, nope an empty plate to show. Next time I'll try for a picture. read more

Always amazing, my main go to for authentic mexican. Staff always nice, freshly made food everyday.

As someone who grew up in and still lives in California, let me say that Los Potros's burritos can compete with the best out west. The cali burrito is particularly good with fresh avocado and crunchy fries. I ordered that with chorizo and barbecoa and could not be more pleased. Claudia and the family who run it are also incredibly sweet. Don't miss Los Potros. read more

It's the best taco place in town. I always get the asada tacos and the meat is always cooked to perfection. If you get street tacos anywhere else in this town the quality of meat is terrible and they always burn it. This place is the real deal. read more

Oh my goodness!!! *drool* hands down the BEST Mexican spot i have found so far in a 60 mile radius. Everything I've had is delicious! Taco salad, mulitas, sopes, California burrito (and the fries are actually crunchy!!), American tacos.. everything is made fresh AFTER you order so its always hot and never stale. Seriously check this place out. You won't regret it! The jimica juice is pretty bomb too! read more

Quite possibly the best handheld burrito in the Middle Tennessee area. (The Cali is my go to! )

OMG! Several people recommended this place. We drove in circles, trying to find it. There it was, right under our noses! Ate there twice today! Bring from California, we know great Mexican food. This place serves great tacos fir a reasonable price! Another great restaurant in Columbia!! read more
