El Potrillo Tex Mex Food - Clute

Looking for a place to finally eat after a tough week due to hurricane and they serve us chips with a side of roaches in the chips. Nasty. Not hating, and I have a busy life but some things are worth making time for. Wouldn’t recommend this place after something like that. Horrible almost traumatizing experience.

My go-to place for Tex-Mex food. Very diverse menu with a section of wonderful chef's specialties. Very friendly staff. The free chips and salsa are usually on the table as I'm sitting down. Plenty of parking near the two front entrances. They are kid-friendly with several high chairs. I usually eat here weekly. They are closed on most national holidays so plan accordingly.

I've had alot better Mexican food in central Texas. Service was not great. No napkins , wait on tea refill. Waiter couldn't hardly even speak English.

I stop here for lunch quite often. Food is always good and owner and wait staff are very fast and attentive.

Family owned with owners on site. The basics (tacos, most enchiladas, fajitas, tamales) taste like good, traditional TxMx should and get 5 stars. It's not a fancy place, but it's comfortable and clean. We love that we can hear each other in conversation. We eat here or get our food to go often about once a week. Many of their specials are quite good; My fish taco was delicious. The shrimp in the shrimp taco may have been from the Gulf of Mx but didn't taste like it, and I don't like other shrimp; however, they said next time I can have another fish taco instead of shrimp. However, not everyone is as sensitive to the flavor of their shrimp as I am. I really didn't care for the spinach enchilada recipe. The traditional and strawberry margaritas were excellent. Our server was very nice, just new and learning the ropes.
