Went here for lunch today. All I can say was it was all fantastic. Even the atmosphere with the Christian music playing. As good as the food was, the service was even better. I did not get the name of the young lady that waited on us, but she was awesome. Food came out quick and hot. The flavors and portions were spot on. Plus I really liked the touch of the milk candy in the bottom of the chips. Reminded me of Monterrey House when I was a kid. I will be back.
While in the area for business I discovered this little gem. Walking in I first recognized how clean the place is. I was then greeted by a smiling young lady that treated me with such sweet kindness. After sitting I started looking over the menu and recognized the background music to be Christian music. This was a super nice treat. I ordered tacos and enjoyed great chips and salsa while waiting. The tacos arrived and the experience continued to be excellent…wonderful food. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will certainly be back.
Clean, beautiful restaurant with fast and helpful service. Food was excellent, particularly the Supreme Taco Salad, which had beef and chicken fajitas and shrimp. The beef fajita meat was phenomenal! My family stopped randomly on a road trip through Brazoria, and we are so pleased that we did!
Rapid greeting and seating; courteous service; menu, water, chips & salsas came right away. Food was plentiful and tasty. Price was reasonable and affordable. Had the Dos Amigos. Nice servers and personable manager.
I urge everyone to eat at El Potrillo. Try the Brazoria tacos and white Queso dip. The service was awesome and the food fantastic. We will be back to try everything on the menu. The place was super clean. All the workers were very nice and friendly. Truly enjoyed our experience at El Potrillo! Yall go try it for yourself.
I have picked up lunch for my tree service crew several times and they never disappoint with quality food to go. They give all the fixings that are needed to have a good meal at the job site.
Always excellent Tex-Mex offered with the best, friendliest staff
