    I've been coming to this place for years. I've always thought the food was decent and the prices were too bad. Sometimes the service was a little slow but overall they've been good to me. I haven't been here for a couple month and decided to get the shrimp ceviche again today. It was good but not as good as before. It seemed like it was missing something, like a spice or something. It tasted a little bland this time. I noticed that there was a different cook in the back. He's not as good as the old cook. Don't get me wrong. It was good, just not as good as I've had in the past. I also noticed that they changed their menu and prices. But like everything, the prices were going to go up. I'd say stuff went up an extra $2, but I think they're still cheaper than other Mexican restaurants. Their prices were cheap before. It was like a hidden gem. I'm curious to see how much their bean and cheese burritos went up. Bean and cheese burritos are my usual. Service was great that day. I'm sort of a regular there and they recognize me when I stop in. I'll still continue to come here. They have a special place in my heart.

    Service was good and as a bay area native the carnitas tacos were on point. Will be returning with the family.

    The food here is the beat Mexican food I have had in NV. Even though there was a language barrier, the communication was flawless. The service gal was so very sweet so was the gentleman. Everyone was so very nice. I will definitely return. I've bragged about this restaurant to plenty of people because I feel like small businesses deserve what they deserve. Best quality patron.

    As any restaurant has its greats, goods and just okays. Fish tacos a must try. Asada is very good with very flavorful. Room has a hole in the wall kinda feel. I like that makes it feel like home cooking. Service is normally pretty good. Need some work on Togo orders, and that is normally how I order. Prices are on the high side of fair but you will leave full. Portion sizes are large. Great lunch spot

    I happened to be by the neighborhood and saw this restaurant sandwiched between other business centers. I ordered 3 tacos de lengua (cow tongue) and 3 tacos de cabeza (cow head) and they were delicious. I wasn't able to take a picture of the tacos right when they came out, but I took the aftermath. These are some of the best tacos I've had here in Reno. The cabeza tacos were so juicy and tender. I will definitely be here again. The service was also awesome and hospitable.

    Stopped into Los Potrillos a couple weeks ago for a breakfast burrito after realizing Full Belly Deli next door was closed on Sunday........ So the burritos were very tasty- bacon, egg, cheese and potatoes, very good size that only a big appetite could finish, shareable for smaller appetites for sure. Nice long bar to sit at, we sat and snacked on chips and salsa while we waited for our food , chips were yummy- they sprinkle some magic seasoning on them that make them extra delicious. Salsa was good but not traditional red salsa with cilantro and onion that I prefer, I think it was like a tomatillo salsa that was pretty mild. The waitstaff were very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was very pleasant, I would definitely stop in again and try some of my traditional favorites like Carnitas etc. Definitely worth a try!!

    Attended another Mexican taqueria down the road for a YELP event and it was pure chaos so we stopped in here. What a find! From the start the male elder host was cute and helped me w/our Spanish. The server was adorable with a permanent smile! Food: molcajete was delicious and one of the best I've had in Reno. Service: splendid Decor: clean, organized, cheerful We will be back! The molcajete was enough for 3 and delicious with a great sauce.

    Wow, we have not gone to this place yet and saw a few poor reviews. Not sure why because this Mexican restaurant ROCKS!!! Now I am not an expert with food but every dish we had tasted wonderfully and the service was fast and friendly. Loved that the area we were sitting in turns into a disco/dance area. Guess we weren't at the right time. Super affordable food, great quantity in terms of size of plate and so happy we stopped in. Happy to visit again! I would highly recommend.
