Taqueria Los Potrillos

Favorite Mexican restaurant ever always come here when we are in town. My family loves the food

It’s one of those blink and you’ll miss it kind of places. There’s nothing fancy about this place. You just go in, choose a seat and order your food. 2 TVs are inside the restaurant, one for watching novelas on the Spanish channel, another for video surveillance of the parking lot in back. Service is friendly but I wasn’t wowed by the food. The country sausage has onions and peppers and made with Mexican style chorizo, carne guisada has a reddish gravy and the barbacoa is kinda greasy but okay. Taqueria Los Potrillos has a wealth of drink options like lemonade, horchata and Mexican sodas. I recommend the lemonade.

Well priced and delicious. Quieres Nopalitos? Well here you go. Potrillos (little horse) is evident in the pictures there. Fresh tortillas and pretty darn good coffee. A favorite of mine on this side of town. Very simple but good.

Taqueria Los Potrillos is another one of those unassuming buildings on the northern end of Nogalitos serving Tex-​Mex favorites. VERY similar menu to some other taquerias I’ve been to – like the same layout, order of dishes, you name it! I’m starting to wonder if some local printer has a Tex-​Mex menu template that he suggests to clients, asks if they can make everything on (deleting the items they say they can’t), and then changes up the borders and cover to make it «unique.» Anyway, point is that the food is pretty similar to the average SA taqueria. There were no stand outs among the couple of items we ordered (bean and cheese nachos and an aguacate gordita– basically everything else has meat in some way, shape, or form) and no particularly interesting finds that I need to return for.
That being said, the prices are good, the staff is someone’s kid, literally – the only waitress in the place had to be like 14 at best (and I think we were sitting across from her grandparents because they thanked us for coming in as we were leaving), so she’s inexperienced but happy to do anything you ask, the tables are all old and culled from random places, and there’s a TV in an upper corner of the dining area playing novelas. All in all, appreciated ambiance when talking taquerias.
It’s not the replacement to my old neighborhood joint I loved (Taqueria Jimador at Vance Jackson and IH-​10), but not bad for a start.
