Los Potrillos Taqueria

Los Potrillos is a small taqueria inside a Mexican grocery. It is tucked away on Elm St so it can be easy to miss. When you walk in through the nondescript door, turn left for the taqueria. Grab a seat — the waitress is friendly and speaks English well.
The menu is limited but what they serve is very good:
— carne de plancha (get some tortillas on the side)
— milanesa de res
— menudo (on weekends)
— tacos, sopes, tortas
— order some agua fresca to drink — Horchata and Jamaica are both good
A lot of Mexicans eat there so that’s a good sign.

Good, basic taqueria serving tacos, tortas, quesedillas and tamales connected to a small mexican grocery store. Retaurant seats 15 – 20 people; they also do take-​out. This is a down-​and-​dirty place but it is good, authentic mexican. I had three tacos with cilantro and onions (lime on the side) — bistek, al pastor and chorizo con queso — and a chicken tamale. They brought squeeze bottles of green and red salsa, both homemade and spicy. The al pastor had a wonderful flavor on its own and was not dry (I find that sometimes pork tacos and be dry). The chorizo was very spicy and lovely. The bistek was good, great once I added the red salsa. The surprise was the chicken tamale. The chicken mixture inside the masa was very flavorful and with a bit of either of the salsa’s this was great. All this and a bottle of soda, $ 8.50 + tip. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. It got loud when some guys came in and started blasting the jukebox, but I don’t generally go to taqueria’s to have intense conversations — I go for the food. If you like to go for the food, and don’t mind the atmosphere being a little down and dirty, try Los Potrillos. Oh, and I picked up some chorizo and queso fresco in the grocery store for chorizo burgers (half chorizo, half hamburger) for later this weekend.
