This charming taqueria specializes in delivering traditional tastes with a fresh, homemade touch, making every visit feel like a warm gathering in Abuela’s kitchen.

The menu is a celebration of Mexico’s rich taco culture and much more.

The variety of tortas is another highlight—each sandwich layered with refried beans, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, then filled with mouthwatering combinations like the Potrillos Especial, boasting breaded steak, ham, chorizo, hotdog, and cheese, delivering a satisfying crunch and a perfect balance of textures. On weekends, the menu expands to include huaraches topped with your choice of meats and fresh toppings, as well as soul-warming Menudo, ideal for a late-night craving.

Every dish at Los Potrillos Taqueria is crafted to engage the senses—from the bright, tangy salsa bar that accompanies your meal, to the bold, smoky chiles in the chimichangas and enchilada plates that tempt your palate. Customers rave not only about the generous portions but also the genuine warmth of the staff.

    I absolutely love this place hands down! The owner is great and she is always attentive! The micheladas here are the best I've ever had and they add shrimp to them as well so it's almost a meal to be honest. The cook in the back is great and the food is always on point. The location is great and they are always welcoming..definitely will return and definitely recommend!

    Very basic. Very good. First (and, sofar, only visit) I had the Birria. It was excellent. The food seems to be from an Abuela's kitchen. I look forward to the next visit.

    In a word AMAZING! I come here after a good Friday night; the micheladas, menudo, and tripas are outstanding. I suggest this place to friends and look forward to every time i can go back!

    On a Tuesday night when you haven't planned dinner, you should consider getting a few dozen street tacos here. Last trip, we got piggy with 6 carnitas tacos and 6 Al pastor tacos each. We asked for beans with or chips because its a smart and an awesome choice, and their beans were tasty, a little runny, and a day later, I'm not a blimp and don't need the air let out of me. Maybe because I skipped the grilled jalapeño. The tacos were great and left me totally satisfied, unlike my marriage! These people are great and deserve your business, hospitality and great service. You should eat here on Taco Tuesday! Tell them Darrel sent you!

    Incredible, great menu, fantastic quality. Will absolutely be returning. Ordered the cazuela with ceviche de pulpo, and a chimichanga de carnitas. Flying colors!
