Authentic Mexican decor on the inside and also some outdoor seating available. We were a party of 3 and sat outside to enjoy our meal. Some of us had their breakfast options while others had lunch. I believe i ordered a pork enchilada for this meal. Everything was very flavorful although the pork was very fatty. Their salsa was delicious but too spicy for the ladies that were with me. Our server was very attentive.

Las Potrancas on 64th St. sits among a very unassuming strip mall and is easily missed or passed over, but I think it deserves another look. My wife and I as well as many of our friends come here on a regular basis and are always greeted with a smile and wonderfully warm comforting Mexican classics. Before I start the actual food review I am well aware this is not the most expensive or most authentic and probably not the most healthy Mexican restaurant choice in the area, but that being said they do a wonderful job and each time deliver an outstanding product. The prices are reasonable on the food and the drinks ,all though sometimes there can be a wait during peak hours I think the ladies at the front of the house handle it well and seat people in as timely fashion as they can. I normally get the shredded chicken and bean burrito or sometimes the shredded beef version and it always arrives hot and delicious, I think what I love most about their food and their presentation is more of what it isn’t... like overdone or deconstructed or pretentious, I think you get the idea. this is every day Mexican food at a reasonable price point with good ingredients delicious sauces and a nice presentation. Do some of the plates come covered in cheese ,absolutely. like I said this may not be a Michelin star situation, so if that is what you came for you may be disappointed. Overall it’s a great place to gather with friends and family and enjoy reasonable Mexican food from delicious recipes at a price that won’t rival your car payment. They even have a small bar that you may eat at as well, And many TVs. There is a large steel cage in the lobby where you can bring your own bottle of tequila and keep it safe to enjoy during your meal. Brightly colored tables and chairs and big smiles is what you will find along with wonderful food at Las Potrancas.

This is the best Mexican in town. The food is phenomenal! I had a tamale tonight for the first time, and it was so good. They've recently remodeled a little bit. It's beautiful inside. Don't let the location fool you. It's worth the drive.

We came here on a reference from a friend... WE LEFT IN FOOD COMAS . So delicious! Our server was fast and kept the drinks refilled. The food was delicious. My husband and I enjoyed our corner booth for days night. We recommend and will return often

Awesome birthday dinner. We made a mistake and ordered a dinner with an allergan. They immediately remade the dinner. The staff made the evening great. We will definitely be coming back

Menudo is very Flavorful and Hearty. Just wanted to start off with that. Atmosphere shows that people love this place. Weekday afternoon, and you have so many large groups of friends and family members. Growing up in a Hispanic family, it is hard for me to go out to Mexican restaurants. Their food is really good and the service is on point. On Point!

All about this place was great. The food was delicious, arrived pretty quick, and the strawberry margarita pitcher was great, enough for 4 people. The tables and chairs are so colorful, so Mexico. You can also get your own tequila and store it there for when you come back. Genius! I'm definitely coming back!
