Taqueria El Potrero — Restaurant in Hilton Head Island

I’m always excited to try authentic Mexican food restaurants. On my first visit, I walked in and all of the staff was behind the counter. I waited for someone to greet me but it did not happen. I approached the staff and asked if anywhere was ok and they said yes.

I sat down, received my chips, salsa and drink quickly. It took about ten minutes for the waitress to come back and ask me about my order. Despite not being that busy, my food took awhile to arrive. The chicken enchiladas, rice and beans were delicious. The orange salsa at the salsa bar was some of the hottest and tastiest salsa I have ever had. Staff never came back to ask if things were ok or to refill my drink.

On my second visit, (mainly because of the salsa) it was a different experience with the staff. Maria was very attentive and took great care of me. The grilled tilapia, rice and beans were absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to come back and eat more.

I highly recommend this place for authentic Mexican...

me & my parents came to eat at this restaurant since we were visiting. everything was going well up until we get out drink orders taken. first, the waitress didn’t ask me what i wanted to get to drink. she based my drink off what my mom said. i honestly thought it was a mistake. secondly, when she took our food orders she was asking my mom what i was going to eat, i thought this was quite funny since i look old and could order for myself. the last straw was when she slide my moms food on the table( she got 4 asada tacos)and looked away for half of it. mind you i’m a waitress too and have never slide somebody’s food on the table the way she did. honestly her attitude throughout the time we were dining was not good at all. i do give the restaurant props though cause the food came out...

Well guys lemme tell you something if you wanna have your night ruined don't go to taco bell come here instead. The waitresses had a rude attitude the whole time they served us. I feel like when you order certain foods for example rice they will serve you day old if not older rice, I also ordered a torta Cuban which was one, over priced given the average price for one is 6 to 8 dollars meanwhile here they charged it at 10 dollars also I feel like the meat or vegetables were past their respective due dates because shortly after eating one half of the meal I had to use the restroom a couple times. All in all a lot of the items on the menu were overpriced and didn't live up to the price that it was...
