El Potro Mexican Grill at 170 Everett Avenue in Mystic Mall gives Chelsea residents a convenient place for Mexican and Central American food, whether they are sitting down for dinner, picking up takeout, or meeting friends for drinks.

El Potro’s story is rooted in the Interiano family. Elias and Juana Interiano came to the United States from El Salvador, worked their way through the restaurant business, and opened their first restaurant in Somerville in 2006 before the business grew locally, including the Chelsea location.
The menu centers on familiar favorites like enchiladas, fajitas, steak, burritos, nachos, rice, beans, tortillas, tequilas, and margaritas. Online ordering also shows a wide Chelsea menu with appetizers, burritos, chicken, enchiladas, fajitas, kids meals, seafood, steak, tacos, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks.
For readers deciding whether to try it, the Google review profile is the clearest signal: El Potro Mexican Grill shows a 4.4-star rating with more than 1,000 reviews on Google, giving it one of the stronger public review footprints among Chelsea dining options.
