I love this place,I had the sirloin steak Tampico style…medium rare, mad good. Delicioso. I like this place a million times more than Matamoros. I love the diner setup of the place. But here are the minor cons:
1. The chips and salsa..the chips were bland the salsa tasted like ketchup.
2.When the plates arrived there weren't any utensils at our table.
3. Very low key ambiance, I felt like an extra in Lady Gaga's Telephone video…all you hear is the clancking sounds of utensils hitting the plates. Luckily we all didn't die!
But overall I recommend los potrillos for family, friends, dates, I love the whole diner layout of the place. Please bring extra cash, so that you could play your favorite tunes from the jukebox…come on down to Sunset and dine at Los 3 Potrillos, it's worth the trip.
Speaking of good Tacos, I stumbled upon some really good tacos and chimichangas in Brooklyn all thanks to the crappy R-train in Brooklyn.
One evening on my way into Brooklyn to visit family a R-train broke down and I was stuck at 36 St. station in Sunset Park and I just need to go one more stop to 45 St. station.
First I waited and waited but it got more crowded. I could not stand the heat and the crowd anymore so exited the station and started walking down 4th Ave.
I started to get hungry and stumbed across Los Tres Potrillos which had a lot of people enjoying themselves. They had tacos in 12 ways and they only cost $2.50 each! Whoopee!
Thank you Taco spirits.
After eating a Carne Asad and a Pollo Asado Taco I was happy and the walk was tolerable.
On a second visit I tried the Pollo Asado Chimichanga (one of my favorite words) platter at $10.95 to go. It was delicious!
There is so much on their menu I will be happy with this place for a long time. Their menu is quite beautiful with many detailed photos of their dishes.
Is the food authentic Mexican? All I know is I enjoy it a lot.
I love Mexican food. I always have and I always will. BUT……
Mexican food (from restaurants) makes me sad after I eat it. So I vowed on this trip to the US to lay low with the stuff and just make some when I get back home.
Needless to say…I ended up at a Mexican restaurant (it was either there or McDonald's as it is my fiance's birthday and I let him choose for once). And he picked wisely (well, lesser of the two evils…)
This place was a little bit more authentic than I was expecting, actually. It looked sketchy upon walking in, but the loud music and people dancing around having fun quickly made me forget that the place looked like an old Soviet cafeteria converted into a Mexican restaurant (no offense old Soviet cafeterias).
I ordered a beer and some enchiladas with mole sauce. Not really all that Mexican of me, but I don't particularly eat meat, so I had to adjust a few things with it. They came out and were smothered in the mole with some fresh avocado on top. And quite frankly…it was delicious. I came here only wanting something small, so I really only ate half of one, but I would have scarfed down the rest had I been more hungry. The rice and beans that came with were quite good too.
If you're in the area and looking for some Mexican food, I can highly recommend this place. The chips and salsa were just so-so, but the actual food had it goin' on!
