EL POTRO MEXICAN RESTAURANT – Mexican
On South Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka, this branch of the family-run El Potro chain keeps the 1985 recipe base the group cooks from. Tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, burritos and enchiladas anchor the menu, with steak and shrimp plates for bigger appetites and flan to close things out. Every table gets a free basket of chips, and the house salsa is the thing regulars mention first, alongside portions generous enough to box up. Weeknight margarita specials keep a happy-hour crowd coming back. Service moves quickly even when the room fills, and the kitchen stays open into evening seven days a week.
