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.

Years ago, after having spent some months on the Mexican border of Nueva Laredo / Laredo, Texas I was MORE THAN SURPRISED to return to Grand Rapids to find El Potro in town, serving-up the same great flavors and authentic dishes. You cannot go wrong here. Plus, the margaritas are phenomenal. Bon appetit!

Extremely slow service!!! Our party of 3 arrived at 6:15PM and were finally leaving around 7:55PM. Chips and salsa were pretty quick and drinks were just a little slow. However refills were a miss. Upon receiving our drinks, we needed just a minute longer to make an order as only two of us were ready. Roughly 10-15 minutes later, our server returned to take our order. She stood at another table with a tray full of dirty disheS talking, and talking, and talking. By the time we ordered, we had heard an "I'm sorry" at least twice. Our food took a little longer than average, but nothing too extreme. A friend joined us as we received our food and ordered within 5 minutes. His food came out in a decent amount of time. Now, for the checks... what a nightmare! When our friend received his food, we asked for two boxes and all of our checks. We did not receive our checks until after our friend was completely finished with his meal. A four top that had arrived at least 20-30 minutes after us were already finished and ready to leave. As the server said we paid at the table, we handed her our checks and waited her return. The four top next to us however, got up and took their checks to the front where she processed their checks while we continued to wait and wait. There were two servers on this Sunday evening. Our server had at least 80% of the tables and the other server, much, much less. They needed to either balance the table outs one for one, or bring on another server. Having worked in the industry for many of years at an extremely busy lounge, the amount of tables would be a cake walk, WITHOUT any complaint. Our server was way over her head and by the end of our meal we had heard an "I'm sorry" at least 10+ times for any given reason. Twice she said "I'm sorry, I got caught up talking". Really?! Not something a table is going to be understanding of when they've been waiting for your return. Our visit a week prior was not any better for service. My husband and I waited for our server to return for over 15 minutes after finishing our meals and needing boxes and a check. There was one other single top in the restaurant this day. The two servers were busy cleaning bar signs in the windows and seemed completely aloof to the needs of their customers. The food is great! The chips and salsa are incredible. The service..... NEEDS VAST IMPROVEMENT!!!

Great for lunch- free chips and salsa. The only Mexican restaurant in town, it's doable. Definitely not gourmet, but the waiters are nice.

I can't say this was the worst I've eaten, but I don't think I'll be going back. I must say this place has been successful for quite a few years in a location where before things came and went, so maybe my experience was just an off one or maybe others enjoy this version of Mexican. The free chips were good the salsa tasted like cut up tomatoes, no flavor at all. That went double for the food. I ordered a plate of chicken nachos for my meal and this thing could not have been blander if they served me a plate of white rice. The hot sauce on the table was about 1/2 gone when I was through trying to get my meal palatable. The food did not make me sick like others have commented. The server we had was nice and the service was quick, but that's not enough to get me to go back here.

I wrote a good review for El Potro a couple of years ago, but the last time I ate there, I got food poisoning, so I can't bring myself to go there any more.

The food is always good and tastes authentic. I eat here a lot and never have I gotten food poisoning. I definitely recommend the cheese dip. The free chips and salsa are always delicious! My favorite thing to order is the lindos special.
(4)Robin S.
If you can get past the cheesy decor, the food is pretty good. Fast service and friendly staff make it a yes.

The food was good but greasy. Service was good.

I've only ever been here twice. I used to live in Grand Rapids until I moved to CA. I got food poisoning both times. The first time I thought maybe I just had eaten too much, but not two times in a row. I have a really tough stomach, and can handle very spicy/ethnic/rich.. etc food. I went back after the second time to let the manager/owner know, but they didn't seem to care. Oh well. I don't live there, and when I visit I simply won't go. Also- bad service the second time we went. I was a server for 5 years, so I'm very forgiving with service, but it was abysmal.
