Very friendly service. Margaritas are delicious, food is tasty and plentiful Our group of 10 was seated promptly. Our waitress Sandy was great. We will be back. read more

Wanting something different on our road trip, we found this place not too terribly far from I-71 between Cleveland and Akron. It's worth the little bit of a drive from the exit if you want something fast that's not fast food. Vegetarians can find something good here! I'm not sure about vegans though since there was a lot of cheese and cream in the sauces. The address from Yelp was wrong (but hopefully fixed now) and it is just a fit farther down the road than on Yelp's map. Google maps had it right. We sat outside and though it is on a big road, the patio is well hidden by the plants and foliage and it was a pleasant sitting area. As other reviewers noted, the queso dip is a bit runny, but the taste is good. We did get the table side guacamole and it was yummy and fresh! Another reviewer didn't like the chips, but I thought they were good. We had vegetarian and seafood enchiladas as well as fish tacos. All the food came out incredibly fast and was very tasty! read more

Tres Potrillos - Pleasant outdoor seating area. - Mexican Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Been getting carryout the past few weeks and the food is outstanding. Their system for ordering is straightforward and easy, the food is waiting when you get there or there is a very short wait, which is okay because then the food is super hot and fresh when you pick it up. Love their burrito bowls, burritos, guac, and their chips and salsa is the best. Wish they were closer to our house. read more

I'm a sucker for warm tortilla chips and good salsa. If you can get me there, I'm pretty much hooked. The interior has a standard, Mexican-restaurant feel, but it is cozy and the staff is friendly. I've been here twice, and each time has been in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday, so it has been empty, but the setup looks like it would work well for a large group. I'm always surprised at the size of their drinks. I could only describe the size of their beers as Big Gulp. A little intense, but served in a frosty mug, it's a nice topper to the meal. The food is great. Nothing insanely spectacular but just solid food. It is definitely the best Tex-Mex that I have had in Medina. They generally have some pretty good coupons and offers available if you keep your eyes peeled. Tres Potrillos is a quality establishment, so please support them if you get the chance. read more

One of the absolutely best mexican restaurant in Medina. Every dish we have had here and take out food has been excellent! Even family from out of town that come to visit, eat here one time and asked for it, every time they come back to town! read more

Called ahead requesting 10 for 5:30 outside. They said they don't take reservations but would make note of our party. When we arrived we were told, by the person who had taken the earlier phone call, that outside was limited to 7 people. On their white board at the entrance was our name with "10 outside". We were told we would have to sit at 2 tables unless they put 2 tables together but that was not possible. If that is not an option then why mention it? I asked why we were not told about a limit of 7 outside when we called. I asked why our name, number and outside request was on their whiteboard? The person, who turns out to be a waitress, then began yelling and being hostile at me. Twice I told her to stop. I asked for a manager and was told manager had health issues and was not there. We decided to take 2 tables outside which defeated the reason to go to eat with family in from Chicago. Then there was the service and food. Marguarita was very liquor weak. Once food was delivered we had to ask 2 different servers for silverware. Once we got silverware and a napkin my seafood enchilada and my brothers food was warm at best. All of our rice was cold. We asked for a few more napkins which were never delivered. I will say the seafood enchiladas i ordered would have been good if they were hot. I understand the ongoing issue with limited help but that did not appear to be an issue. It certainly does not excuse the attitude of the waitress nor weak drinks nor cold food. read more

Allow me to begin by saying I love Mexican food. Love. It. That said, my opinion is based on lots of visits to Mexican restaurants. The service was great. I was seated quickly, my water and chips/salsa arrived almost immediately, and my food arrived less than 5 minutes after I ordered it. The salsa was so spicy I couldn't eat it, but the chips were good (and warm!) The food was meh. It wasn't bad, but it was far from good. Bland is the best word I can think to use; there really wasn't much flavor to anything. Additionally, the portions were tiny, easily the smallest amount of food I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I ordered the one enchilada (chicken) and one hard taco (beef) lunch special, which came with fried beans and rice. The plate was three-fourths covered in beans and rice, leaving just enough room for the tiny enchilada, and the taco placed on top of the rice. There was hardly any cheese on my taco, enchilada or beans. The taco was full of lettuce, with a tiny amount of beef. It absolutely was NOT worth the money I paid for my lunch "special." Honestly, you'd get more food going to Taco Bell and ordering a taco, and a beef enchirito Plus it's way cheaper, and would taste better, too. Two stars since it wasn't horrible food, and the service was excellent. For people who can't handle spicy food, or don't like food with flavor, this is the perfect place for lunch or dinner! read more

My wife and I decided to visit this restaurant while driving home after running errands this evening. We decided to eat outside and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and nice evening. The hostess was very nice and quickly seated us at the table we wanted. We no sooner had taken our seats then chips and salsa had appeared. The salsa was presented in a carafe that held enough so that we could refill the salsa dish a couple of times...very clever and appreciated! The chips and salsa were tasty and had a nice zest and tang to it which you certainly don't find in typical Midwestern "mexican" restaurants. Having grown up out west I definitely was excited at this discovery. My wife and I both ordered Margaritas; both were of a good size and tasted of freshly squeezed limes and a generous amount of tequila...just right! For dinner I ordered the 3 taco special, my wife going with the same (mostly because she liked my choice!). For an appetizer, we simply ordered homemade guacamole to go with our chips. The guacamole was refreshing and fresh. Even my picky and a half year old son liked it! The main course was delicious...simple soft tacos with grilled beef and lettuce, pico de gallo and an avocado-lime-cilantro sauce to add along with black beans. I also added some of the guacamole and it made for a filling and savory soft taco. During the meal, our waitress came to check on us and was very nice to us and our son. The people running this restaurant are great hosts with a friendly attitude. We finished the guac and chips for dessert..a perfect finish in this case along with our remaining margarita. I was truly impressed here. We will be coming back sometime in the near future, hopefully bringing some friends with us! read more

Was here for Cinco de Mayo.. The place wasn't super busy (we were there at like 4:30, no waiting, plenty of tables). You could only order from a limited overpriced menu... The service was slow. My $8 margarita was served in a small plastic glass... And it was warm.. How can you call a margarita gross?? This one was. We order guacamole and she took our chip container to refill it.. We sat there with guac and no chips for at least 5 minutes. The fish tacos were just okay (I've had much, much better!!) waited forever for her to take our credit card. Do yourself a favor and eat at one of the other Mexican restaurants in town.. Don Tequilas is SO MUCH BETTER. read more

Who would think that there is good Mexican food in Medina, OH of all places. My cousins and I went on a Thursday night over the summer. The weather was nice so we chose to sit outside like the rest of the patrons at the restaurant. The service was decent. We did have to gain the attention of our waiter so we could get more salsa and refills on our drinks. The food was good. I got the burrito special which was really tasty and filling. I could have make two meals out of it. I'm glad Tres Potrillos is in Medina. I also love the location being right off of 18 and across the street from Buehlers. read more

Been here around 5-6 times. Every time the food has been good-outstanding. Service timely and friendly. Fair prices. Nice outdoor patio. Def gives Cozumel a run for their $. Will be back (soon, hopefully:) read more

Total miss at Tre Potrillos in Medina. They would not let our party of 7 sit outside even if we were separated. Would not seat us until the entire party was present. Sat us in a loud hot section of the restaurant. Very rude manager and no customer service. Will not go back. read more

The other reviewers have hit many of the key points...warm chips and fresh salsa, great queso, reasonable prices - and food comes out in the blink of an eye. The patio is REALLY nice - other than the fact that it faces the main road. Ambiance is good, interior is bright and Mexican-y. Service can be hit or miss, but 90% of the time it's good. When it's good, it's REALLY good...when they were out of coloring pages for my daughter, the manager brought over a Kindle Fire so she could entertain herself for a bit. I thought that was awesome. :) FYI - If you happen to have a coupon from the 2012-13 Entertainment book, they are not honoring it. Apparently you're supposed to check with Entertainment as some offers change after publication. Who knew!? read more

Real quick review: Decor: **** Salsa: **** Guacamole: **** ( homemade) Chimichanga: *** not as deep fried and covered in cheese as I am traditionally accustomed to Service ** took a good 5 minutes to be greeted by a host and long lapses between drinks and ordering food. Food came out super fast out of the kitchen though. read more

Staff was less than accommodating. AKA rude. Which made the decent food tasteless. Not at all worth the time or money.

Not too shabby! I have been here twice and I will say it was better the first time. The tableside guac is a must have. Myself and two of my girlfriends went to celebrate an early birthday dinner for me. We each got a different order of tacos and then shared...shrimp tacos, Mexican street tacos and barbacoa. I like spicy, very spicy BUT the sauce that came with the barbacoa and Mexican street tacos was on another level..unenjoyably (i know that's not word) spicy. No complaints on the service, our server was very nice and gave us ideas for ways to make different types of guac. They gave us fried ice cream for dessert and that stuff should be illegal...it is so good! read more

I got the potrillos enchiladas which were pretty good, a little different but I enjoyed the spinach cream sauce. My boyfriend got the shrimp tacos which were good as well but the chipotle sauce was a little overwhelming. The rice wasn't too impressive. Nice patio (I'd recommend sunset before all the bugs are out at night lol). Good service. Nothing really stood out to me but all in all it was decent. read more

I was holed up in one of the hotels across the street for two days. I ate all of my meals here. I was not disappointed in the least! The fish tacos were possibly the best I have ever had. I could only take down two of the three in one sitting. The other dish I tried was the carnitas lunch special which was amazing! Way too much food for one person but it tasted so good I didn't want to walk away. Felt great during and after each meal. My only negative takeaway was the chips and salsa. Nothing there to write home about but on the other hand, they are complimentary so who am i to complain? Highly recommended from a relatively picky/ health food leaning diner. read more

Many mexican american places are hit or miss. This place is definitely in the hit category. Service was freindly and quick (I was in and out for lunch in 25 minutes) and the food was decent. Now we are not talking 5 star food, but for the $7 price tag I felt I got a bargain. Was expecting to spend $10-12 for the quality and amount of food I got. So I add the extra into the tip. If I am in town again I shall return. read more

Not your average bland mexican restaurant. The food here is phenomenal, full of flavor. The guacamole is so good. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is also very good. read more

Stopped for lunch on our way to Chagrin Falls from Columbus. Nancy was an excellent server, anticipating our need for water & extra napkins. We sat on their nice patio and enjoyed a great breeze on a hot day. The burrito bowl, chicken fajitas, and lunch margaritas were excellent. We will definitely remember to stop again on future trips. read more

Ate there today and could not enjoy the meal because there were flies everywhere. Food was average. Service was average.

Ordered fajitas for two online. Picked it up in sealed bag, got home and it was a single order. Called restaurant and they said they'd give me a 25$ credit next time and to just ask for someone in particular. We'll see if that happens. Food was so so. read more

My husband and I have been here several times. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The food tends to be on the bland side not at all I expect from Mexican cuisine. The salsa is hit or miss one time it will taste like tomato soup and completely bland and another time it will be nice and spicy. The last meal I ordered was quite a disappointment. Don't think I'm really too interested in returning anytime soon and my search for a really good Mexican restaurant continues. read more

Excellent place and needless to say the food and the drink selections are amazing. The atmosphere is great. Luv the fajitas. Everyone is very friendly and attends to you. Enjoy going there each time. Would highly recommend this place !! Thx DR MD read more

The food here is great! We love the Melting Chimichanga and the Fajita Quesadilla Camaron. Usually the service is good and we have never had to wait for a table. I gave 3 stars for 2 reasons: First and foremost, they have a major fly problem. We went there 2 months ago and there were no less than 8 flies bothering us while we tried to eat. It's not just an issue of sanitation (nobody wants flies in their food) but it was also pretty annoying to constantly swat flies out of our food and off of our heads. I should mention that we were sitting inside, at a booth. We just went again tonight and had the same problem. This time there were only 4 flies but it was still irritating. The other issue I have is the smell. The whole restaurant smells strongly of a cleaning product. My husband thinks it smells like those blue pucks that go in toilets but I'm not sure. I only know that the smell is too strong and takes away my appetite. We probably won't be back for quite some time but if they fix the fly problem and the smell, we will be regulars again because we really do love their food. read more

Stay away today, service is slow and bad! The food and service normally is good, for some reason today the food was ok and the service horrible. We order drinks from 3 different servers and on the first and second delivery the drinks were wrong. Once food was delivered no one ever came back! We would have liked to have more drinks but no one ever came back. Would have liked more napkins no one ever came back! Maybe just a bad day, but I won't go back for awhile! read more

I had a long day & the weather was over 90 degrees. I started with chips & salsa & a Modela beer which really quenched my thirst. Then I had a beef tostados combo plate & it was wonderful. I can't wait to go back read more

First time I go, and I got the worst food poisoning in my entire life... The beef was so undercooked, it was still singing Hacuna matata... I will never eat here again... I suggest you do the same. Was not worth the week off sick. read more

I had dinner here the other night. It was in the low teens outside, being late December, and I needed to warm up. As soon as we were seated a waiter came by and got our drink order. I ordered a large margarita and my companion ordered water with lemon. The chips and salsa (chips were hot and fresh!) came out in less than a minute and so did the drinks. I don't think I ever had my drinks come out that fast. The margarita was good and warmed me right up. After a couple minutes the waiter came back and took our order. I ordered the 3 enchiladas dinner. Within minutes it came out piping hot. The enchiladas were covered with lettuce and chopped tomatoes. The enchiladas were a little small but quite tasty. At the end of the meal I was full, warm, and thanks to the large drink, quite happy. I look forward to going there again soon, and recommend others give it a try. read more

Fast, good, and cheap. Got the ohio steak and the taco salad. Tortilla chips good rest is filler gnrh hgv hyd hgv jhv

This was our first visit to this incarnation of Tres Potrillos. We have dined numerous times at the Montrose location. We're definite fans. We frequently both get a seafood dish of some kind as they don't overcook the stuff, somewhat unusual in a cuisine largely based on cooking every dish for hours! Today was no exception. The lady got the Camerones del Crema, shrimp with a cream/red sauce, and I got the seafood chimichanga that had both shrimp and scallops in a pleasant spinach filling superbly done. She ALWAYS gets that dish as it's one of her favorites. Hers came with beans and rice, (shocker!) Mine came with a small side salad dressed with sour cream, no beans or rice. I've never understood the whole beans and rice phenomenon at Mexican restaurants. I'm not a huge fan of either, but it does serve to flesh out a meal and I must admit if you dump your left over salsa on the rice it makes for quite a flavor boost, but alas I had no beans or rice on which to perform this ritual. When asked they will grill your chimichanga rather than deep-fry it if you prefer to get more return on your calorie fix. Service is usually quite good and today was no exception. The tortilla chips are always served warm and the salsa today actually had a bit of heat to it. That was refreshing! read more

Our first visit here. I made a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday, but there were plenty of empty tables. Our drink order came right away, but the food order was about 20 minutes. The food was good, but unexciting. We'll try it again, before we write it off. read more

Ehhh..... There are definitely better options for Mexican food in the Medina area. The food is not spicy whatsoever, even when I requested that my meal be made extra spicy. My spouse ordered "fried" ice cream and was served ice cream that was rolled in corn flakes. Really? Not authentic at all. read more

I came here for the first time and I have to say this place can compete with some of the other Mexican restaurants I've been to, like Casa Del Rio and Muchos Bueno's.To start off they give you chips and salsa as a free appetizer like most other Mexican places. The salsa was tasty and zippy but the chips were kinda thin and didn't stay warm for very long. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating, my server let me chose anywhere i wanted to sit and refilled my drink as soon as it was empty. The place itself was surprisingly spacious, and the decor had an authentic feel, nothing overdone but enough to stand out. They have an outdoor patio but it was raining, I'll probably sit outside when I come back on a nice day. I ended up ordering the pollo mole pablano, as I love the authentic taste of Mole sauce. My meal took under ten minutes to be prepared and brought out to me, pretty quick. It came with two generous slices of grilled chicken and came with rice and salsa-like salad, which added an extra kick to the meal. The chicken itself was delicious, the Mole here had a slight spice to it, not too much but enough to mix well with the sweet savory flavor. The rice seemed a bit dried out, I think they probably keep a big batch of it for serving throughout the day instead of preparing every bit fresh like other places do. But my complaints were only minor, the meal was made to perfection and the service was good. My meal was fourteen dollars, a fair price for a very tasty lunch. Tres Portillos stands out from other Mexican places close by. If you want great Mexican food, do check this place out. read more
