Though we enjoyed the two different salsas and the guacamole that came with the chips, the meals were average at best, not a lot of bold flavor or anything to get excited about. The place was busy but I'm not sure why. There has to be better.

My wife and I tried this place based on reading TripAdvisor reviews. This was a departure from the normal Sana Fe fare. This restaurant was packed full, but we received timely service. There were many homestyle variations from which to choose. We has two dinners and two large margaritas for $43. The food had flavor and did not need a... More

They were busy on a Friday night, but we were seated quickly. The staff was friendly but they were clearly understaffed and would ask if we needed something but not wait to hear the answer. The chips tasted stale, and neither the fajita's vegetables or the tortillas tasted fresh. The beef in the fajitas tasted like it came from a... More

I had the fish with the mango sauce, it's the best! They also serve chips with roasted tomatoes, salsa and creamy avocado. What a special treat, wish all Mexican restaurants serve those delicious dips. The decor is around colt with burlap curtains. Rustic but yet tasty! I would love to come back if.we visit SF again!

I LOVE Los Potrillos. They have the best margarita - and only one, so you are not forced to waste time choosing your beverage and can spend more time on their extensive menu. The shrimp ceviche entree is killer good. The fajitas are also awesome. Looking forward to heading back.

This was probably the most authentic Mexican food we had while in New Mexico. Chips and the three types of salsa they serve are delicious. My three tacos were fresh and well-seasoned and my husband loved his chili relleno. However, the rice and beans were not seasoned very well, and some of our food did not come out very hot.... More

Husband had the enchillada suizas and I had the caldo de pollo. Both were hot and delicious. Both dishes were a little to high in sodium, but sure tasted good. Tortillas are made in house and they always have aguas frescas. My favorite is the cantelope water (agua de melon) and my husband loves aqua de sandia (watermelon). I really... More
