 Our culinary journey began in 1997 when our founder started working hard in kitchens after arriving from Mexico. In 2006, he opened the first El Potrillo in Moyock, followed by another in Grandy in 2012. Focused on comfort and quality he made El Potrillo Mexican Grill into a tribute to authentic flavors rooted in a rich culinary heritage. From sizzling fajitas to mouthwatering tacos, our dishes showcase the vibrant and diverse tastes of Mexico. Come now and enjoy the result of our high standards and strong work ethic here at El Potrillo Mexican Grill!!!
