El Potrillo Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Tiptonville

Me and my family came down from Michigan and we are vegan/vegetarians. We usually can’t find many good options even in our home town and when we do, it’s usually expensive.

This restaurant was referred to us by a couple family members here in TN so we decided to try it out.

We arrived and the place was empty, usually not a good sign. We walk in and the decor and dim lighting were very inviting, and the waiter greeted us immediately. We chose a booth and sat down.

Did not offer refills on drinks and I had to get up and get it to go box so I can take the food and feed...

This used to be the best Mexican Restaurant in west Tennessee, but unfortunately it has turned into the worst due to new management. Our most recent visit not only left a bad taste both figuratively and literally, but left us in complete shock in what our favorite restaurant has become. Under cooked rice, watered down beverages, a new staff that lacks customer service, and price increases that coexist with lacking proportions. Be ware-full of a non disclosed service charge of 3% if not paying in cash after you’ve already ordered. My only hope is that our experience was a one and...
