Taqueria El Potrero, Hilton Head Island
Hours
Taqueria El Potrero is a casual Mexican restaurant at 1 Mathews Court on Hilton Head Island, also known as El Potrero Restaurant. The menu leans on the cooking you find at a taqueria: tacos, plates of grilled meat with rice and beans, fajitas and big bowls of soup.
What to Order at El Potrero
Reviewers recommend the al pastor, and also mention the pollo a la plancha, shrimp fajitas and the soups: the seafood soup and the shrimp soup are large enough that a server will split one between two bowls for you. Chips come with a spicy salsa, tortillas arrive hot, and the agua fresca, watermelon in one review, tastes fresh. They also sell soft drinks and beer, and there are options for kids.
