Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

My husband and I found La Potosina while overnighting at a nearby motel. We were not enchanted by the gross trash receptacle sitting next to the front door, and showing that previous users had not bothered to use some care in disposing of some sticky, runny something. The airlock was typically furnished with a bunch of bubble gum machines and realtor's catalogs. Inside, we were immediately greeted and seated. Our drinks appeared quickly, as did a generous basket of chips (the ones on top were not warm, but the lower layers were). The salsa was lacking any discernible heat. A rack on the table held several kinds of hot sauce, so you could add your own zip to what was basically tomato purée - canned, at that. I ordered Enchiladas Rancheras, and my husband chose Guadalajarawi. My dish came with rice and the usual piece of iceberg lettuce, slice of tomato and dollop of sour cream, the rest of the plate was covered with braised beef chunks, onion and Bell pepper. The enchiladas, our server explained, were underneath. It didn't taste bad, but the cheese enchiladas were small and flat, and none of it had any spice or heat. Maybe it's a traditional combination, but it just seemed odd. My husband's meal, called Guadalajarawi, had the same accompaniments, with the addition of some guacamole on the lettuce. Again, nothing had any spiciness or heat. The service was better than the food, by a wide margin. We also enjoyed the colorful decor, the booths seemed to have been recently reupholstered, and the standard metal chairs freshly printed in a variety of mostly bright colors. Overall, a cleanup at the entrance and some heat in the food would increase the number of stars.

Great Mexican Food! I normally get the Speedy Gonzalez. Menu prices are fairly cheap for the portions you get. Awesome Staff!! Really Nice people! I look forward to going back every time I go home (Danville).

I'm posting this review "out of order", passing up several I've started earlier, so I can get my impressions down accurately and then get it out of my mind. We won't be going back. We were seated promptly after we arrived, and quickly received chips and salsa. These were so-so to OK. (Why is it, BTW, that almost all Mexican restaurants reserve the basket of warm chips for your *second* basket? Why can't the first basket of chips be warm, too?) We ordered the "Cheese Dip Con Carne". This was some melted white cheese with a bunch of ground beef filling added to it. First, the ground beef appears to be their standard stuff, used in their other ground beef dishes. Second, when we've had this elsewhere, it has been a cheese dip with some meat in it. Here, it is a bunch of ground beef with some cheese in it. I thought it was OK, but wouldn't order it again. My wife thought less highly of it. (Where I've liked it better, the cheese has been "spiced up" with the addition of a small to moderate amount of chorizo.) For our main course, I ordered the "Filete Del Pacifico", which is billed as pacific Mahi-Mahi filet, grilled with Western Mexico seasonings, and served with Mango Salsa, rice, and guacamole salad. The fish filets were very thin, and quite overcooked. If they had been cooked exactly the same way, but had been twice as thick, they would have been pretty good. The seasonings were non-descript. The guacamole salad was so-so. The mango salsa gave the impression of being a few largish pieces of canned mango sitting near some pico de gallo. The rice was average. My wife ordered the Cocktail De Cameron, which is shrimp cocktail shrimp, pico de gallo, and avocado slices in a tomato sauce, all served chilled. This was pretty decent, though we have had better pretty much everywhere else we've seen it on the menu. Asking for some lime wedges and squeezing fresh lime juice into the mix, along with some hot sauce from bottles on the table improved it a notch. We also planned to share a Chile Relleno side. This arrived with a few non-descript slices of some kind of green chile swimming in a load of the same ground beef mixture we'd seen before and a bunch of white cheese. I feel confident in saying that this was by far the worst Chile Relleno I've ever had. We ended with an order of Flan. This was decent, though cooked inconsistently. Our guess is that they cooked it in a water bath, and where the water bath reached, the flan was creamy and silky. The rest of it was too firm, with bubbles, almost with a "curdled" texture, indicative of being cooked too hot and quickly. Service wasn't bad, except for our waiter going missing for a long time, leaving us wanting to order the flan, and that he did not clear any of the dishes from appetizer or main course while we were there. So, in summary, if forced back here, I would have the shrimp cocktail (with some lime wedges) and the flan. Mexican cuisine is full of interesting and complex dishes. What we had showed no complexity, no interest, no knowledge of chiles or spicing. What wasn't bad was boring.

same menu as the Gilbert street location. Better than average Mexican Food. The chips are always warm in spite of the other review.

I came here with my friends to enjoy a nice, casual meal together. This was a fun place to go because they offer a variety of margaritas and cocktails and delicious Mexican food! Their food is very delicious and the portions are very generous!
