“ Great service and delicious food! Will definitely be back to try other menu choices!!! (Dined approx 630 on Tuesday night) no wait to be seated, and food was served quickly and fresh! ”
“ La Potosina is a great option for Mexican food in the area. Though a little more expensive than some other Mexican restaurants, they do not skimp on the portions they give you. My favorite item is the fajita bowl. The meat and the shrimp taste fresh! Service is great, and food comes out quick and hot! Consistent quality as well. ”
“ Food was excellent! Could have more help as the waiter didn't return about our meal until we were done. Would have liked my vegetables cup up smaller (kind of a turn off when that's ALL you see on the platter.) Was actually expecting peppers & onions possibly. Servers masked; we were one of few of public coming in wearing them. If it's mandated by Gov. someone needs to see it happens! ”
“ Great place to eat took my niece and granddaughter cost me 45 for the 3 of us and none of us could finish our lunch had to get the rest to go ”
“ I grew up in Chicago and spent most of my adult life going to restaurants up there. Been in the area for few years and this is definitely my Mexican food go to. It reminds me of being back in Chicago. This is authentic Mexican and it's delicious. ”
“ Great food and service. Outstanding waitress. ”
“ I love La Potosina! It’s my new favorite restaurant in Watseka and Iroquois County! The food is excellent, and although the service is sometimes slow, everyone is super friendly. The only thing that I think would make the restaurant better is if they had live music on a regular basis. It’s still the best salsa anywhere in town and I will probably continue to eat there at least twice a month. ”
“ Came during lunch and it was amazing food was hot and fresh and so filling. My plate in the photo was there enchilada Supreme with rice. It was so good with the chicken beef and cheese. We got seated very quickly and with the three of us (my partner and his child) the server was very kind and got us set with chips salsa and our drinks. The witing time was about 10-15 mins with hot food! The kiddo had the kids plate #1 the beef enchilada and her only complaint was that it was spicy but it was so good and ate the whole thing. ”
