Ok so... this place.... legendary. 10/10 will eat here forever. The cheese dip, downright spectacular. The taquitos. Perfection. The taco salad, superb the tamales and tacos were to die for. I just found my new favorite restaraunt.

12/9/20 update: again, on my way home... I did stop on my way down in early November as well. Tamales are so good! Love them Naked (sauce on the side)... It was nice to see V again, she is the nicest & she remembers me I feel like a local. 8/12/20 update: stopped in on my way North. Had the tamales, so good. Still clean and nice inside. Hostess V. Was wearing an official El Potro mask, I want one too upgraded to 5 stars for consistency over 4 visits. A good spot just off i-95. Had the lunch buffet, it was good. I'll stop again and try the traditional Mexican dishes. Friendly staff too.

Their buffet was delicious and at around 13 an incredible price. There was a good selection of dishes, beef and chicken. Service was great. It wasn't super busy for a Saturday afternoon.
