  The food seemed bland. The one waiter was nice but part of my meal, the refried beans were missing and they did not taste that good to me compared to other places I have eaten with same menu. I was the only customer there for about thirty minutes and only two other folks came in after I was served. The price was not bad but I think I will not return. Plenty of parking. No television. Seemed clean but I did not check out the rest room.

  El Potro is Troy's newest Mexican restaurant.  The place seems brighter inside than other Mexican restaurants in the area.  The service was excellent as the wait staff were very friendly and attentive.  The food was just ok.  It was a little too bland for me.  It was nothing to write home about.  I hope they can improve their flavors and flourish in Troy.

  I believe the name means "The Colt," though the staff had better keep the place clean, or the name will quickly morph into something less flattering simply by changing a letter or two.
  
  I'm going easy on them for several reasons:
  5.) It's relatively new, having opened in April,
  4.) The construction traffic at the nearby I-55 interchange must be negatively impacting their accessibility and visibility,
  3.) Today's dishes, shrimp enchiladas and chicken nachos, were presented well and tasted good,
  2.) The server was more respectful and friendly than almost anyone else I met on this hottest day of the year, and
  1.) The guacamole was fresh, chunky, and full of cilantro.
