El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Lowell

South Park Parody Reveiw :) ...I, Mantequilla "The Last of the Meheecans", a.k.a. butters, journeyed out to find the best Mexican restaurant in the northeast. The odyssey was long, but I said to myself, "nothing can stop me and my pride in Mother Meheeco". Over a great deal of time and 2,032 miles later on foot I struggled to approach the yellow beacon on the hill. "What is that?" I asked... "is that say El Potro?". I cautiously walked in, knowing that my very presence, if detected by the staff, may give them the motivation to get up and escape back to the motherland. This restaurant reminded me of "El Pollo Loco", which was the last restaurant in which my adopted family dropped me off at last time I got lost playing Boarder Patrol with my amigos back home. I sat down thinking about all my friends who I got separated from, and what they might be doing now. The waiter asked, "what would you like today Senior Mantequilla?" I said, "1 Torta, 3 tacos and a chocolate milk por favor." In that moment he explained to me that I was the sole inspiration in his life and ran off to give me the most authentic experience I have had this far away from Meheeco. "Olay!" I shouted, which was echoed by every Meheecan in the establishment. I then received my meal and beverage which was made to absolute perfection. Every bite made Mr. Wein tinkle tinkle a little bit, it was so amazing. I knew the food was going to be good after seeing Lingua on the menu; however, every individual bite was full of flavor and mystery in the same sense. After, finishing my meal I ask to use the restroom, and I was not disappointed there as well. The toilet had a clean open shelf on the back, perfect for me to put a comic book and chocolate milk down to enjoy during my daily tinkle. This was so relaxing after a long week of my boss singing "work Mexican work". It's truly the little things in life. I went out and sat back down thinking again about my amigos and how they were still out there waiting for me. I look up at the waiter and said, "you are really great, amigos, and it really makes me appreciate my amigos back home". The waiter said, "you will always have a home here". As I approsched the exit, I stopped with my back towards the dining room and slowly began to raise my hands as I started to hear the roar of millions of Meheecans throughout the world yell, "Oooooooooooooooooo, Oy! Oy! Orgullo! Maaaaantequilla!" IG...

El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill is an authentic Mexican restaurant with great food and service. We were in Boston recently for a concert and wanted to grab a quick bite before catching the 5:22 train into the city. El Porto was one of the few places that was open and we figured we had time to eat and catch the train. Unfortunately, their computers were down that night and service was really, really slow. We chose a couple of appetizers - a sampler plate and nachos. It took over 30 minutes to get our food and we had to rush to eat in order to catch the train.

The food was very good, but we were somewhat taken aback when we looked at the bill and saw we were charged $10 for guacamole as an accompaniment to the free nachos and salsa we had prior to getting our meal. We should have been told there was an extra charge.

All in all, the food was great and the restaurant has a really cool décor. I would give this place another try if I were in the area. It's unfair to judge an establishment too harshly when there are...

IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED HORRIBLY THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. Went in today and stood there for 5 minutes until the man noticed I was standing there. My coworker ordered the food and explicitly said I would like 1 shrimp and 1 steak quesadilla on 2 separate checks. The man presented me with 1 full check. After paying I returned to work and realized they had given us 2 CHICKEN quesadillas. She called as my break was now over and said they messed up our order. The man said they would make a new one. She hung up he then proceeded to call her back and to her to BRING BACK THE FOOD. Which she was anyway but restaurants are not allowed to take back food once it leaves. As opposed to apologizing he then charged the difference of THEIR mistake on her card. Their costumer service is horrible. On a separate occasion they forgot to put my order in, and I had to again spend my whole 15 break waiting for them to get their act together. Food is good and well seasoned but service is key and they are...
