Delicious and traditional. I feel like I was back in Mexico. Expertly cooked and not Americanized in the least. SOMOS CHIDOS!!!! FINALLY A MEXICAN RESTAURANT. From the Coast of the Acapulco special to the variety of Cumichangas available like the delicious beef tongue, you will not be disappointed. La selección de tequila es bien también. Mucho gusto amigos y regresó pronto.

Great Mexican food, very delicious and the food is well prepared plus you get your money's worth, the shrimp tacos are one of my favorite, the menu have a wide variety of breakfast, lunch, appetizers and deserts the drinks and margaritas are a plus

Birria tacos are amazing! Cant wait till I have to do a shopping at the near by Costcos again. It will be a tradition to eat there first. Im sold!

Absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant ever!!! The food, the drinks, & just the ambience is fantastic! I really miss this place now that I've moved away. 😢

Its 1:30 a.m and came here as a last resort for food and drinks. Let me say God did us great. The tacos were HUGE (not your normal small tacos), the nacho plate was HUGE and FULLY loaded with meat, and cheese. We also ordered drinks and were a bit spectacle about the price but once I saw how big the glasses were I was extremely happy and so was my girlfriend. Price matched the food, unlike any other place (the food was great too, so were the drinks). Definitely coming back.

The food was delicious and our waitress was really friendly. We found the place because it was open so late, but I had a great time and would gladly go back any time.

I love love this place! The alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks were large and delicious. The waitress was very kind and patient. The food came sizzling hot from the oven and it was so tasty! I'm definitely bringing my family back here again. The menu pricing was a tad high, but worth every penny! The seatings were spacious and not crowded.

I Have Been Going Here, For Tacos For 10 Years, Since 2015. They Are Open Late, Until 3:00 Or 4:00am. Perfect For After Work Snack, After An Evening Shift. Nice Family-Style Mexicanote Restaurant. I Always Get The Chorizo Tacos. They Are Delicious, & Cooked Just Right....! Plus, They Renovated, I Think. And, There Is A Club, Upstairs. If You Are Looking For A Great Mexican Restaurant, This Is Easily, One Of The Best In Brooklyn....!!!!

Authenticity is what this place is all about. The young waitress was spot on with the service from the minute I walked in. While this is a local place and there's no fancy bells and whistles, the authentic food and prompt service will top any fancy decor of a place that lacks. This will be my go-to for a delicious meal when in town.

Beautiful chicken burrito. Lots of food and reallyyyy good quality. Lots of rice, beans, and grilled chicken, all in great ratio and a tasty tortilla. Saw a few comments about them sneaking in a gratuity but that didn’t happen. Would come again, will come again, will recommend to friends in the neighborhood

MÉXICO 🇲🇽 Eat the World NYC review: Sunset Park is not really the type of place that people go out drinking at bars, as most of its residents are families and from places where drinking culture requires meals to be involved as well. One place that is an exception to this rule and has a real bar is Los Tres Potrillos on the north side of the neighborhood. With a couple TVs usually showing football, I have been using it every once in a while to have a few beers during a Liga MX match or just when mood required getting out of the house. Besides the bar and nice staff, one of the things that keeps me returning is their amazing plate of house nachos. Sometimes you just need nachos, and the nachos los tres potrillos is possibly as good as it gets. There are a few meat options, but the al pastor is the best with these and also adds pineapple to the rest of the numerous ingredients.

Food is great, but the margaritas needs to improvement.

A
Alex Petry

No frills unheated space with authentic and very good food. The burritos are excellent, as well as their tostadas and dinner plates. Despite having the word mezcal in its name, they do not serve alcohol. Good for a quick bite before or after melody lanes.

Expensive but the atmosphere made up for it!

Andrew Prelusky

Lots of food for decent prices. Around 13 dollars will net you a giant platter of chicken, guac, beans and rice. Play your cards right, and you'll also be leaving with a healthy amount of leftovers.

Great food. No parking , so definitely leave the car home , nice atmosphere for a good family nite. If your in the area it's a must , get the steak !

It was fast, huge portions, and delicious! I was sad there was no music and couldn’t sit outside but the vibe was still good!!

B
Bernard Brathwaite

The atmosphere was clean and the staff were friendly and courteous. I came at a non peak hour. I enjoyed a chicken burrito. It wasn't the best burrito I had, but it was delicious even though they skimped on the chicken. I will definitely give them another try. I did take pictures of the menu so anyone can look at what they serve.

K
Kuixi He (motoengineer)

It's far more expensive than your typical place. What is normally a $9 plate is about $20. But it is open 24 hours. The food is also typical in terms of quality. Nothing special, but it is very good tasting and portion sizes are on the larger side of things. I've been here more than once and will keep coming here because it's litterally one of the few things open and serving fresh food, it just comes at a price.

R
Ray Vega

Excellent Tex-Mex cuisine and service. It's worth giving it a try if you're in the area. The waitresses tend to be a little slow when it's time to pay the bill, however, they are very nice to everyone.

Good family environment, nice music, food was good and the margaritas looked delicious. A little piece of Mexico.

Roman Sannikov

The service could have been a little friendlier, and they forgot our guacamole, even though the waitress asked if I wanted spicy or regular (it wasn't on the bill, so not a big deal). But the food was quite good. I really enjoyed my broiled mixed seafood. The menu had mostly meat and a decent amount of seafood, but not a lot of vegetarian options. The atmosphere was pleasant but definitely not fancy.

I ordered el birria quesadilla taco umm so good, if you thinking to dine in i recommend you to wear some warm clothing cuz is so freezing 🥶 in there. I noticed they hired some new servers so the service is getting better. 👍

Perfect vibrant Mexican restaurant to check out for a casual dinner with family or friends. Played great music adding more to the vibe. In regards to the food, it was great food! The meat was cooked well and tasted fresh! The Beef Quesidilla was not bad but had a little bit of an aftertaste. Not sure how to explain. The aftertaste is not unbearable but definitely noticeable. I’d still come back for more!!

I love their Arrachera Steak platter it’s to die for. Food is pretty decent and wait time is not that bad if you’re dining in. Only downside is the waitresses, have been coming here for years and it is always the same the waitresses do not acknowledge your needs. They put the food on the table and completely forget about you, you have to constantly either get up and get them to come to you or try your luck and flag them down. Perfect for families and perfect for a romantic date. It’s still slamming but very expensive!!!

They over charged me for a watered down lemonade made with limes that's not even on their drink menu... I had to ask for sugar... the tacos and tostados was ok 👌

They didn't let me in, saying they full, and seat me outside. The entirior lights hurting my eyes. Soup was average, tacos was not bad, but i had better. Very expensive alcohol!!

Love the food here!!!!!...great sangria and margaritas🍹🍹🍹 and chimichanga was excellent.....downside the sangria pitcher had a giant crack in it and was leaking all over the table, waitress forgot to put our order in and we had to wait for almost am extra 30 minutes and salad could've had more going on. Other than that I'll be back

Comfort food. Good quality ingredients. Service is slow, too slow, they did not bring water to the table. Food needs work on the presentation department, a lot i may add

Service is slow. Margaritas are great. The servers don't bring you water and take their time. Food is comfort food. Pretty good. Could improve presentation. All in all, I will be back. I do hope they improve service. Food quality is good.

Honestly the food in my experience is good, it doesn't take long to arrive, they have nice big portions. I just don't understand why when you ask for the bill, they only give you a piece of paper with the final number, including tax and tip or why the last 3 times I went I paid more than what it says on the menu. But well, in my experience.

For a meal of 5 people seems overpriced, you can get the same thing for cheaper in somewhere else. The waitress is attentive. The atmosphere is ok.

The tacos look fantastic but their Al pastor taco didn’t have pineapple and was mediocre at best. Nice atmosphere. The Broco truck by the 9th ave station is cheaper and much tastier. The guacamole was top notch. They had a guy come table side to make it. Very delicious.

2 starts for the food. The service was poor and they charge you for it.It was very expensive at least they need to be honest and let you know before you order. They will charge you the tip plus service provided. The food you can get it in any other mexican restaurant

My family and I were the only people here and it still took forever to get our food. My sister ordered a burger and the buns were so hard she couldn’t eat it, and lastly a piece of plastic was found in a torta when bitten.

BAD EXPERIENCE, nice place, keep it open until night, this was my second time, and it was bad experience we sat again the wall at night try to have some good time with my wife n minutes later of being waiting for food she felt like something crawling in the leg, she shake it and tought was nothing but whenever she got home we saw she was bitten by something got like 5 bites on the leg , disgusting

I went to Los Tres Potrillos and was hoping to get vegan Tacos. They didn’t have vegan and the waitress wasn’t helpful with vegan options, though she was nice. She said that if I can say how they could make it, they will do it. I asked if they can add beans and nopales. No Nopales. Lettuce and tomatoes and beans she said. Okay. Please add some onions I said. Great. My husband asked that we add tostones. We got our food. I was really hungry. I bit into my tacos and tasted lots of lettuce and onions. A bit of tomatoes. No beans. I kept thinking it would be in the middle. Eventually I tasted some watery bean liquid. Never found the beans. Not whole. Not mashed. The tostones were dark and hard. I took a bite and could barely bite into it. They were also tasteless. It was as if they were refried after sitting there for a while. That doesn’t work for tostones. My husband’s shrimp tacos were okay. This was our first time. Not going back.

A
Antonio Ramirez

Wouldn't come back. Took 30 minutes to get 2 chicken tostadas to go. No utensils were provided. Had to eat the messy topping like guac with my hand. Chicken was on the dry and rubbery side. It also didn't taste like it had seasoning.

p
percsncaicos

On the walk in , the place is pretty dark and unwelcoming. If you’re looking for the famous birria tacos here, you can find them. You can’t just buy one though, you have to buy three and it comes with the birria soup. Which is 12 dollars. I got the birria tacos and chicken tacos, they were both very dry even with the sauce. It had a good flavor, but the tacos itself just had meat and cilantro, no cheese , no sauce. Overall I wouldn’t go back there.

Franklin OG

Went here two weeks ago the food was bland the staff in restaurant section took awhile to serve food the staff girls were mocking my outfit the mojitos are the most relaxing drink despite all that I don't like it

E
Eric Clegg

The food was good, but the service was really slow at the end and was near impossible to get the check to leave. When we got the check, the addition was wrong with an extra $14 added without explanation. I was probably too anxious to finally be able to leave that I missed this error. It sucks that the experience was tainted, because the burrito was good. I may try it again based on the food alone, but I wouldn’t go out of my way and would probably order it to go so I don’t feel trapped there again.

I ordered a steak burrito , but it was mostly a Rice Burrito! Barely any meat mostly rice and that was it! No beans, no pico de gallo , no cheese , nothing ! I was there with my parents , what they ordered was way better much pricer, but for almost $20 burrito do better!! Or advertise it on your menu as a RICE burrito only !

Ashley Martinez

So I came here with my family to eat and we’re a family of 9 the moment we came the waitresses glared at us. There was one waitresses in general that was being rude, she got mad that we sat on the wrong table when she told us too. She started giving attitude to us telling us we sat in the wrong spot, later we move and we call the waitress to take our order just for her to ignore us, I honestly hated how they treated us. That’s why I’m giving this review.

Nerlin Castro

I came to this place today 09/20/20 and ordered 3 Steak Burritos $36.00 , 1 Large horchata$8.00, 1 large tamarind $8.00, 1 small guava drink $3.50 and 1 bottle of water $2.00. I paid a total of 82.00 cash and left $15.00 tip. As I’m asking the lady’s there why is it my bill high because the number on the menu didn’t add up to the total I did in my head, one of the lady’s said to me very rude that they’re changing me the rest in tip and I replied back and said I left you $15.00 in tips already on the table she said oh well!! I walked away and thought that this is NOT a place that I want to recommend or bring my family back to eat and that’s the reason why I give this place a 0. No good customer service and the worse that they NEVER NOTIFY US THAT TIP WAS INCLUDED IN OUR BILL UNTIL I WENT BACK TO THE RESTAURANT AND ASKED. IM SORRY FOR THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE.

C
Cristian Onofre

I came here for years just to be charged a service fee on top of my bill , it’s outrageous, I will never eat here again! Plus charging me an extra 5$ for paying with card , overpriced food and drinks , I was shocked by my bill .

I am giving Los 3 Potrillos a 1 Star rating because of their blatant racism. I never liked to call a place races or utilized the race card but when it is needed I will use it. Before I can say it was racism let me tell you what happened and you can decide for yourself I stepped into the restaurant to get some food at 11:30 a.m. when I walked inside there was a Spanish customer sitting at the bar and was waiting for his food. I sat right next to him The workers didn't even acknowledge me I took a menu looked at it and waited to order,15 minutes went past and still not one of the four workers acknowledge me being there at 11:50 a family of four came inside the restaurant they were seated was given water a menu and then the waitress went to them and proceeded to take their order, meanwhile I am still sitting at the bar waiting for someone to take my order. As a 50 year old African American man I found that to be a slap in my face especially since the family of four was of Latin descent and they clearly came to the restaurant after me. Clearly the workers need to understand that you don't treat customers like that. I was appalled and disgusted with their actions there is never and I mean never any reason to treat anyone like this I'm sure with my whole heart if I was Spanish or Latin descent I would have been served and I think the worst part that this is I'm married to a Spanish woman so I know how to speak the language very well and I know when I'm being ignored. I hope that Los Tres Potrillos look at this review and understand that they lost a very good customer and a lot of business because I will make sure that I spread this word about how I was treated.

Romain Ruth

Horrible. I came in and was the only customer and sat at the bar. It took over 15 minutes for anyone to ask me for my order even though I made eye contact with no less than 3 servers. I’m a Vegan, so I understood my options would be extremely limited. So I order their basic nacho dish without cream, and without cheese. They then proceeded to serve me nachos with cheese not once, but twice. 40 minutes after I walked in, I was finally served a plate of cold, bland nachos with canned pickled jalapeños. I ate the jalapeños as they were they only flavor in the entire dish and left the rest for the bin. Worst $10 I’ve ever spent and I once drunk downloaded a Ke$ha album.

No AC or coolers so customers can eat comfortable. Then before would serve chips and salsa complimentary of the house and Now they charge you if you want to have them before your meal after 8pm. And the mens bathroom smells like urine and the toilets are not flushable caise no running water in the toilet. This place is not the same when we came when it first opened

D
Delia Marmara

Check your bill before you pay. They save some sneaky tactics and are banking that you drank too much to catch them. And a 4.5% surcharge for using a credit card is ILLEGAL, the max is 4%. I had to go through hell to get my transaction voided, still waiting for it to hit my bank.

Deborah A.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of this establishment. My coworker and I ordered passion fruit margaritas. They were huge, but overly sweet. Do not expect freshly made margaritas. Service is pretty much non-existent along with our drinks we ordered an appetizer, which never came, but instead of reminding the waiter we just let him continue playing with his phone. After sitting for a while you'll notice there is a strange smell, that is not pleasant at all. We visited around 4:30 in the afternoon Maybe two tables were occupied. Definitely have no intention of returning the service, the drinks, and the atmosphere is completely lackluster.

If i could give this place a zero star i would !!! This place gave me the worst experience of my life !! i was half way through my plate , while i was chewing i notice a huge piece of nail in my plate i was disgusted . once i told the waitress about the huge piece of nail she didn't believe me she had the audacity to asked if that was really on the plate like if i was lying , the manager never came to apologize for such a thing he never showed his face , i had to ask for him twice and the answer they were giving me is that he was busy and that i had to wait , in situation like this I believe the customer is first and anything else can wait specially when i had found a huge nail on my plate. Please do yourself a favor and do not go there . Service horrible.

Candice Savage

Horrible customer service! I ordered food for delivery (visiting from out of town) and never received it. They claim they called me and I didn’t answer the phone. No one ever called my phone! I called back and asked if they were coming. The young lady said let me check and hung up. After waiting an additional 20 minutes (I had already been waiting 45), I called back. She then proceeded to tell me that they had been calling and I didn’t answer. I’ve been sitting in this hotel room for over an hour and my phone hasn’t rung and neither has my room phone! She said she would have him bring the food after he did another delivery. Ma’am!!! I’ve already been waiting over an hour, do you think I want that cold food?!?!? Ugh! I tried to give them the benefit of doubt but this is now day 2 and they just can’t get it right! Yesterday our tacos were wet and mushy. Won’t be trying them EVER AGAIN!

Gaurav K

Ordered drinks - good. Ordered appetizers - fine. Ordered entrées...waiting. And waiting. And...nothing. Over an hour and fifteen minutes later, after politely asking several times when we would get our food, we told them we just wanted the check. Got rudely lectured by the waitress (did I mention this was Father's Day dinner?), nothing comped, no apology. Terrible service, mediocre appetizers, and the main course - who knows?

E
Elizabeth Vivar

I went there with my family; not only did the food take one hour, but the service was terrible. The waitress has no good customer service at all! I had to get up to ask her that we needed more drinks because she not once stopped to ask if we needed something else. Their service is horrible and their food was not good either. Never going there again! I highly discourage this place as your option, not worth it.

One of the worst experience I’ve ever had. I ordered for a deliver since 8pm. Called back at 9pm. Told them it’s been an hour and then they told me it’s on its way. Called back at 10pm saying I’ve waited for 2 hours, and then they started scrambling, asking if I asked for a pick up and not a delivery. I said, no, you gals clearly asked for my address and number. I repeated that I wanted a delivery multiple times. Then they come up with the excuse that I ordered with another set of workers that had left. Then where’s the ticket? They couldn’t find it. Then why lie at 9pm saying that the delivery was on its way? Eventually trying to put the blame on me but I said, cancel my order. Don’t want it. Never ordering again from this terrible spot, can’t do anything properly. Warning to anyone who wishes to order or eat here, don’t.

The food was horrible, the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life. Do not go here. The chicken nuggets and fries tasted like hard rubber it looked like it was just dumped in the bowl like it was somebody's left overs mixed with salad..why the hell would you mix fries and nuggets with salad... their burritos are disgusting my mouth throat and tounge are on fire...they just serve you whatever the hell they feel like...I didn't even ask for spicy food!!!!

Very bad service, the food isn’t all that good either! And the waitress also charged a $30 service fee; which is ridiculous that is pretty much her tip! I definitely give them zero stars!!

Food was great but the waitresses at the night shift charge you more for their own tips on top of their tips, write down your orders & add them up & you would see the bill being 5-15$ more.

Ended up paying 34 dollars for 6 birria tacos(two orders of (3) since you can only order in 3s I was up charged for a tip which I didn’t realize till after leaving.. I’m all about tipping but it wasn’t even suggested and a 10 dollar tip for take out is crazy… especially when it wasn’t even a busy night, food was good but the service and integrity is the worse I’ve ever experienced will never go back won’t recommend

The food wasn’t tasty at all. The service was good but the amount they charge for extra. 20$ just to use a credit card.

We went to dinner but they gave us the table near the music, so we asked a waitress to move us to a recently vacated table, but when we sat down another waitress came to us with a bad attitude saying that we couldn't sit there, but we stayed there. Almost 40 minutes!! passed since we had ordered and no one came to our table. They gave us our order until I ask for it. Don’t forget that no one came to ask if we need something, and when we finished, no one came to give us our check until again I ask for it. Terrible customer service and overprice. BE CAREFUL giving tip because 15% is forcibly included in the check.

It was Fathers Day and my friends and I decided to eat at this nice place. However, our experience there was an absolute 1/10. This man kept singing for more than an hour and I could not even hear my friends talking across from me on the table. Our food took almost an hour to arrive and when the check was brought up to us, everything was rounded to the next nearest whole number and their service fee was already applied. I had asked this lady to tell the man if he could lower the music—nothing happened. She instead came back to tell me that he doesn’t want to. The food was overpriced and the customer service was the worst I’ve ever seen. I am never ever going back there again. The was was pretty good but in the end it was NOT worth the check that my friends and I payed!

Decent food but OVERPRICED! They're at least 6 to 10 dollars more per dish than the other, similar restaurants in the neighborhood. They're also a little sneaky with how they bill people. They have a "Non-Cash Charge". Never seen this before. Also, prices on the menu are different than what they actually charge you when they bring the check. I asked our waitress, she said the menus was old 🤣

They want to confuse you when your bill comes and try to overcharge you for food. Not to mention if you add up all your food- there is still an extra charge for $11-$13- a 15% charge which is gratuity and when your receipt comes they still want you to tip on top of that? Ridiculous. I’ve had food on food trucks for cheaper and tastier. The singer was great but besides that all was mediocre.

I am going to write my bad experience in Spanish as well below. También, voy a escribir en español mi mal experiencia aqui abajo. I went to this place as a recommendation from my friend because she wanted to check it out. They offered outdoor seating now due to corona. Overall when we first arrived we just wanted drinks but after awhile of enjoying the music and atmosphere, we decided to order food, at this point we are there for a good while. I ordered the food in spanish with the woman with glasses at the bar instead of the waitress. Big mistake. I told her what me and my friend wanted. That is when the misunderstanding started, I asked for shrimp tacos and carne asada tacos for me. But the woman at the bar noted it as a platter which I was not aware of. Then back with the waitress, my friend decides she wants rice and refried beans also with her tacos, so she orders it. Food arrives, I don't see my carne asada tacos, I mentioned it and instead of realizing the error, the woman with glasses from the bar says I do not get my refund for the food because the platter comes with rice and refried beans and my friend was eating it. I told her my friend ordered herself rice and refried beans, we only received one order of it. The waitress confirms she took an order from my friend. The woman with the glasses begins looking around for a second tray of rice and refried beans, like we hid it. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ My friend paid for her food and they charged for her order of rice and refried beans. So there should have been two, this is not my fault. She was incredibly rude to me, even after I explain to her, she did not care what I had to say. There was sno manager to speak to either to clear it up. It ruined our mood and night. The waitress, she was done for the night but stayed and was just so sweet with us, she even offered to pay for my tacos when she did not have to. You should expect that from the person that took my order wrong. I will not be returning there and neither is my friend, if that is how they treat customers, be prepared to blamed and treated with carelessness. No wonder they have a low reviews with people like that woman running the bar. Be wary of her. ---- Fui a este lugar por recomendación de mi amiga porque quería verlo. Ofrecían asientos al aire libre ahora debido a la corona. En general, cuando llegamos, solo queríamos bebidas, pero después de un tiempo de disfrutar de la música y el ambiente, decidimos pedir comida, en este punto estamos allí por un buen rato. Pedí la comida en español con la mujer con gafas en el bar en lugar de la camarera. Gran error. Le dije lo que mi amiga y yo queríamos. Fue entonces cuando comenzó el malentendido, pedí tacos de camarones y tacos de carne asada para mí. Pero la mujer en el bar lo notó como un plato. Luego, de regreso con la camarera, mi amiga decide que quiere arroz y frijoles refritos también con sus tacos, por lo que lo ordena. Llega la comida, no veo mis tacos de carne asada, lo mencioné y, en lugar de darme cuenta del error, la mujer con gafas del bar dice que no recibo mi reembolso por la comida porque el plato viene con arroz y frijoles refritos y mi amiga se lo estaba comiendo. Le dije que mi amiga se había pedido arroz y frijoles refritos, solo recibimos una orden. La camarera confirma que tomó una orden de mi amiga. La mujer de las gafas comienza a buscar una segunda bandeja de arroz y frijoles refritos, como si lo hubiéramos escondido. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Mi amiga pagó por su comida y le cobraron por su pedido de arroz y frijoles refritos. Entonces debería haber habido dos, esto no es mi culpa. Ella fue increíblemente grosera conmigo, incluso después de explicárselo, no le importó lo que tenía que decir. No había un gerente sino alguien con quien hablar. Arruinó nuestro estado de ánimo y nuestra noche. La camarera, había terminado por la noche, pero se quedó y fue tan dulce con nosotros que incluso se ofreció a pagar mis tacos cuando no tenía que hacerlo. Deberías esperar eso de la persona que tomó mi orden equivocada. No volveré allí.
