Los Potrillos

Los Potrillos brings the spirit of a Mexican country hacienda to the heart of Normal, Illinois. The brick‑filled dining room is painted in warm terracotta tones, with colorful papel‑picado banners hanging above wooden tables, creating a festive atmosphere perfect for families and groups. Signature dishes include massive Mission‑style burritos that can be customized with grilled chicken, seasoned ground beef, chorizo, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, and a choice of salsa verde or roja. Their tacos arrive soft or crunchy, filled with options such as carne asada, al pastor, or shrimp, each topped with diced onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Nachos are piled high with melted cheese, jalapeños, black beans, and a drizzle of guacamole. Daily specials rotate throughout the week: Monday’s chicken fajitas for $9.49, Tuesday’s Plato Carlos, Wednesday’s Enchiladas Suizas, Thursday’s chicken chimichanga, Friday’s Burrito Popeye, and a Sunday dinner of chicken fajitas at $12.45. Margarita lovers enjoy any size or flavor for $4.85, and on Thursdays every margarita is half‑price. The restaurant also offers a unique “aircraft” party package where guests can reserve a full or half‑plane themed area and pair it with premium tequila selections for birthdays or anniversaries. Open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, with special holiday hours on Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, Los Potrillos accepts orders through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, and provides online ordering on its website. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch or a lively dinner celebration, Los Potrillos delivers authentic Mexican flavors with generous portions and a welcoming vibe.
