Given that this place had top ratings here on TripAdvisor and strong score on Yelp, my expectations were much higher. Unfortunately, everything from the chips to the taco salad were pretty average. The best items was the mushroom quesadilla, although it was only on the better side of average. more

We all ordered interesting dishes but the favorite was the unusual chile rellenos stuffed with meat, raisins and nuts. The menu is quite varied and lengthy so we were surprised that everything tasted freshly prepared. We were there at an unusual hour (mid-afternoon) and the service was great. The decor is fun too-very cowboy. more

We had eaten at other Mexican/Southwestern restaurants during our visit in Santa Fe. Los Potrillos had the most flavorful Mexican food. (We got a little tired of other restaurants simply seasoned their food with red or green chilies.) Their menu has some different items- goat meat- and it also had a fish entree that was wonderful. We will be back... more

I always wondered why when you cross into Mexico you get such incredibly good food that is not available in the states. Los Potrillos is clearly the exception. The food here is superb. I went three times on a recent trip to Santa Fe and enjoyed every meal. Every dish was unique and full of flavor. I had the Cabrito... more

We're vegetarian. We went to Los Potrillos and found very little in the way of vegetarian choices on the menu. What little they had for vegetarians was okay by me, though. I had some cheese enchiladas, which were very tasty. The tortillas were fresh. I can't recall what my wife had, but she gave me all of the red and... more

This place doesn't look like much from outside. But it rocks. It's a great bargain too. more

I eat at Los Potrillos on average once a month and have done so for the last five years since discovering it and trying it. When I'm on the hunt for real Mexican food, not New Mexican food and anywhere near Cerrillos Road, Los Potrillos usually pops up at the top of the list for options. From the down home... more

We dined for lunch at Los Potrillos on August 22nd. I had the enchiladas and my wife had chile rellenos. We arrived early. When my wife cut into her chile rellenos there was LITERALLY about a cup of grease that poured out of them! She had to ask for an extra plate and extra napkins to sop up the oil!... more

So perfect

I grew up in the southwest and when I get back for a visit, we make it a point to get to Los Portillos. It is worth going 200 miles out of the way for. Go for breakfast. Way more than huevos rancheros. You won't believe how good a breakfast can be. more

Once we checked into our Hotel, we asked for a good restaurant for dinner... We were told that this one was the best. When we got to the restaurant, it did not appear to be too busy... It took almost an hour to be seated. We waited but we were not disappointed. It was delicious. Don't go there if you... more
