    This place is living proof that even the clueless can open a restaurant. The menu is limited, the food marginal at best, and I have no idea where in Mexico they got their recipes. El Potosi was a big disappointment both times we've gone there, so it's "no mas". I doubt this restaurant will survive with a great place like Mis Amores in town.

    My husband and I were looking for a Mexican restaurant in Palm Coast I found this one on another website. Wish I had read these reviews first. It wasn't at all what I had expected. Limited menu. I got the taco combo and he the burrito combo, didn't like the whole beans were expecting re-fried beans. The taco shells were greasy and the shredded beef was bland. The burrito was really filled with a lot of juice the lettuce just seem to work in a burrito.

    The price was high and you had to buy the chip and dips separately. We won't be returning.

    Our family went on Friday night and it was delicious! I had a steak chiminchanga (which was big enough to share with my 5 year old), husband had an enchilada and older daughter had a taco. Every plate was wonderful! Chips and salsa and the little concoction that they make with cabbage, jalapenos and tomatoes were YUMMY! Plan to go back again and again! Great addition to Palm Coast!

    This place was terrible. Thought I'd run in quickly and get a couple taco's to go, cheap. Nope, took about 20 minutes (there were only about 6 people in the "restaurant") Thought it was also very expensive for 3 of the worst taco's I've ever eaten!

    I just Loved the shredded Beef Tacos, fried fresh and authentic. I would love to see this place expand to a full size restaurant. It amazes me at the folks who want another Taco Bell Americanized Tex-Mex blahhh!

    This place was out of this world!! Never had any thing better Mexican food. The owner Gloria is a little unpleasant... but the food, WOW! Your taste buds will be dancing!! I had chicken fajita...all I can say is DELICIOUS! The fajita is a huge huge.. the chicken is amazing... and it comes with pepper and onions that are seasoned just right. The restaurant was very very clean which is important to me. You can also see the whole kitchen and see that it is very clean as well. Very impressed on my first visit and will be back again. Also the meat on the hard tacos tastes like it is pulled chicken very very tender and tasty! Will be back soon!

    The food was terrible. The restaurant wasn't very clean and the service was horrible. I would not recommend it at all. It's not worth the money.

    The food was great! My daughter and I stopped in for lunch, had the Beef Enchiladas, rice and beans with salsa on top, the owner Gloria was on the shy side but very pleasant. The restaurant was very clean which is high on my check list, have been back four times already.

    This is the worst Mexican restaurant we have ever eaten in our entire life. The food was cold and tasted terrible. I wish they would close down.

    I don't know what restaurant some of these folks were visiting, but green enchiladas aren't even on this menu. This food a TERRIBLE. It's bland, flavorless, uninspired, no salsa.... yuck. They take a raw wrap and throw some rice in it...no seasonings- flavorless. The people are NOT friendly. No one said so much as hello, goodbye or thank you to us- COLD people, COLD atmosphere and COLD burritos. Total disappointment. Anyone who thinks this place is 'the best' has serious palate issues.

    Best Mexican restaurant in North Florida... If you like real Mexican food this is the place for you. Their tacos and burritos are the best! Prices are excellent.

    First a disclaimer, I am not affiliated in any way with any restaurant in Flagler county. This place is awful! The food is bland, lukewarm, and totally uninspired. The cheese is like shredded stryrofoam. My wife and I have enjoyed Mexican cuisine from coast to coast and in Mexico proper. We've had great and sometimes unusual experiences - but this place makes Taco Bell seem like gourmet! Never have we tasted anything this poor. The rice was old and had shriveled peas and carrots in it! My wife's plate was garnished with martini olives! ???? The vegetarian burrito had rice, beans and lettuce in it - that's all! The spices were non-existent. The beans tasted like they just came out of a can - in fact I think I would have rather had Bush's Chili Beans out of a can rather then the dry, flavorless ones they served! I really can't imagine what these owners are thinking! The service was basically adequate, but cold. I am not a negative person, and I was really hoping for a convenient Mexican restaurant here in PC, but do not patronize here! Seriously, go to Taco Bell - at least the food is warm and the cheese melts! Interestingly enough, the word Potosi has no translation into English - perfect name for this restaurant!

    I recently picked up a lunch order for my office and everyone was very pleased with their order. The food was delicious and very fresh. The employees were very friendly. I've lived in Texas for 10 years and this was the best Mexican food I've had in Central Florida. They were very generous with the sour cream but need to add salsa or pico de gallo with the meals. I'll definitely be back!

    We ate here several weeks ago. You order at the front, then they call when your food is ready. It is very, very casual. Food preparation took about 10 minutes. The food was great for both my husband and i; no complaints there. Although this is a little more casual than we usually like to do, we might be back for take-out.

    Me and my sister went here to eat some good Mexican food! It was a HUGE disappointment! The restaurant was cold the cashier was blab and had no personality like a walking zombie! and she couldn't speak very much English! I had the chicken burrito and it was ok it didn't have much flavor, the only thing I would recommend nachos and refried beans!

    The people were nice and the place was clean. The prices are good. The food was horrible. I ordered the enchiladas verde (green enchiladas), which I have had several places, the enchilada sauce was like a greasy lumpy gravy. I will not go back. You would be better off going to Taco Bell.

    I think this place is great! The owners are friendly and although there is a little bit of a language barrier, I could carry on a conversation with them. I had the chimichanga for lunch and it was delicious, very filling and only $4! It came with chips on the side and little "salad" of lettuce, tomato wedge, onion, olives and a pickle - interesting. I will be going back to try the tacos and the nachos and I'm bringing some friends who are looking for good Mexican food in Palm Coast.

    (My rating = average for around here, below average for areas that have real Mexican restaurants.) After living in California and Colorado, we are completely spoiled because there were so many great Mexican restaurants and taquerias in both states. We have long been in search of comparable food in this area with very little success. Maybe what we have here is Cuban restaurants masquerading as Mexican cafes. They certainly don't have the recipes or the know-how to produce authentic, tasty Mexican dishes. (I don't understand why it's so difficult!) El Potosi has some potential, but it appears they haven't been in the restaurant business before and are missing some of the important clues. So far, the only thing that has been reasonably good and fairly priced was the chimichanga. Their menu is very limited and most of the items served are miniature versions of what you would expect, with little or no sauce, lettuce, cheese, or taste. They don't even have any green Chile or pico de gallo in the place. What part of Mexico are they from? Hopefully, they will get some help from someone who actually knows how to prepare and present REAL Mexican food and they will save the business from the fate of the dreadful and now defunct La Hacienda. I've thought of taking my own salsa to Taco Bell and pretending I'm in Old Town San Diego. Oh, I can taste the green Chile and fresh tortillas already!

    We are Mexican food fans, have eaten it in Colorado, Arizona, Georgia and Florida; were anxious to get a Mexican restaurant in Palm Coast. My husband and daughter were not impressed at all; however, the chimichanga was very different and tasty and I actually snuck back the next day to get another one. Very limited menu, small portions, but I believe very authentic - no toppings and sauces like American Mex food, but very tasty, and the people even though don't speak English are very nice. I will try it again but still looking for Mexican food in Palm Coast.
