What User likes about El Potro Mexican Grill:
as LA native I have the worst hopes on Mexican eating in boston, as most places are a missed, but this place is definitely the next one I have. the carne asada was a hit like the horchata. True Mexican good restaurants launch them with chips and salsa and this place has me definitiw to feel home from the moment I entered from the music to the decor. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Potro Mexican Grill:
eating was decent (chips and salsa can be the best I had anywhere in the country), drinks were good, and service was excellent. but they are diligent when they check their bill. overload them by charging the wrong element and adding another. View all feedback.
