El Potrillo — Restaurant in Lexington

My son and I visited this restaurant on the 1st day that it opened and they were exceptional. They did an excellent job on remodeling the building and making it seem like a Mexican atmosphere. The whole wait staff were very diligent about taking care of every table and the employees were extra friendly. The food was prepared without a long wait and it was very good. I really enjoyed the salsa, seemed to have a lil pineapple flavor, and I enjoy pineapple. I ordered an enchilada plate that contained a bean, beef, cheese, & chicken enchilada and it was great. My son had a shrimp plate on a bed of rice and it was presented with a neat fashion and he said it was as tasty as it looked. The parking lot was almost full and people were just hearing that it was open, the parking will be tight as everyone learns that they are serving, so go on the off times if possible to get a parking spot in their lot. We will be returning very soon, it is a good...

This place was a joke. I ordered a burrito with shrimp and chorizo and it was horrible, I wouldn't feed it to my hogs!! My wife ordered some kind of dish that was burnt on the bottom. We were SUPPOSED to get pico de gallo with both of the orders and got only diced tomatoes!!! The guacamole was mushy, watery and tasted like it was made the day before!! We had a really hard time trying to get the waiter to understand that we were asking for sparkling water, he said no, they didn't have that and he walked away shaking his head like he wasn't understanding what we wanted. There seems to be a big lack of communication in these Mexican restaurants as we have been to several in our area and have had some degree of difficulty explaining what we want to drink. We did talk to the manager about this, but it didn't do any good!! We ended up learning that they DO offer sparkling water but it was too late, we were getting...

We might be back..... maybe.... but there are other restaurants that do a better job to earn my hard earned money. I ordered the Pechuga Chipotle. The menu reads: 2 chicken breasts. Chipotle sauce. Served with rice and beans and tortillas. I asked for 'no beans' - but half of my plate was slopped with refried beans. The "2 chicken breasts"? NOPE! They were 2 VERY THIN pieces of griddle fried chicken with Chipotle sauce dumped on top. Not even grilled!?! DISAPPOINTING to say the least. I ordered (per the menu) and paid for 2 chicken breasts but received about 1/2 of one chicken breast. My wife had the Fajita Bowl. It looked great! She said it tasted great! Atmosphere? LOUD! Lots of Hardscape that echos every sound in the restaurant. They charge EXTRA for using your credit card. Seriously? Not impressed with my meal. I expect 2 (TWO) chicken breasts of that's what...
