ice cold brew and chicken enchilada. One of our favorite places fast and friendly service.

This is a restaurant full of LOCALS! For good reason - great staff, huge menu, huge servings of authentic Mexican food, reasonable prices. Unpretentious and comfortable. Always a good choice. (Except Wednesday, they're closed on Wednesday.) Seriously - super yummy food and great service. Check it out.

A hidden gem with authentic decor, excellent food, and the fastest service I've experienced in a long time. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which were just the way I like them, with grilled chicken and a lovely tomatillo/jalapeño sauce. Tjefrozen mango margarita hit the spot after a day on the road. Will be back!

We love this restaurant. It has a nice family run vibe. I love that it's out of the touristy area of Santa Fe. The menu is huge and the food is very authentic and delicious. The waitstaff is attentive but they don't hover. Oh and the margaritas are really good. *Try the chicharoni appetizer yum.

Only every dive take out here but everything is really well done and always fresh and hot when we pick it up. Looking around the dining room is clean and seems like they have some very fun cocktails on the menu.

Loved my meal at Los Potrillos! We were quickly seated and served chips and salsa. The salsas could have been a bit spicier (personal preference) but the flavor was great! Smoky green and red salsas were yummy. I ordered the Gorditas Zacatecas (1 beef, 1 chicken, and 1 rajas con queso). My favorite was the rajas con queso! It was so cheesy, and the gordita breading had great texture and flavor. I ate the gorditas with the leftover salsa we had from the chips. The plate honestly doesn't look like that much food, but I was STUFFED afterwards. I definitely want to try more of the dishes they have on the menu! I'm excited to visit again.

We enjoyed this restaurant that was able to promptly seat us, supply us with chips and a couple sauces and get our orders in. My friend wanted me to try the chiles en nogado. It is a dish that not every mexican restaurant has. This version had unbreaded poblano peppers stuffed with a savory/sweet meat mixture and then topped with a creamy sauce, garnished with pomegranate seeds and parsley. It was rich and delicious. We also had the tamales de cazuela which was like a creamy corn soup with tortillas, chicken and cheese. Both were delicious and the restaurant's service was attentive.

A hidden gem. Friends took us here and I was pleasantly surprised! I had passed their sign on Cerrillos many times and didn't as much as blink an eye. But after stopping in, it's a great spot for yummy Mexican food with large portions! We ate and were full with still half the food we ordered! The horchata is delicious with free refills! Big enough to share. I also got their carne asada tostadas which were stacked high with all the goods! A yummy little spot.

Los Potrillos is a Mexican food restaurant that offers a huge menu of options, so you can certainly find something you like here. My wife and I ate here on our last night in Santa Fe and are really glad we did. The restaurant decor and vibe is of a horse ranch and is filled with locals versus the more tourist driven downtown restaurants. I ordered a frozen mango margarita that was rim lined with chilli powder. Delicious! It reminded me of the Mexican Vero Mango, which is a mango flavored lollipop covered in chili powder. Only this one was frozen and with tequila!!! My wife ordered cheese enchiladas with Verde sauce and I had Chicken Rellenos. If you are from out of town, Rellenos in this area are often not battered and deep fried. So the Rellenos are basically stuffed poblano peppers. They were very good. My wife also really enjoyed the enchiladas. The service was fast and efficient from taking our order, bringing our food, and closing out the bill. We would definitely go here again.
