Episode 017 — Tres Potrillos, Copley, Ohio
Nobody walks into a Mexican restaurant expecting the wings to be the move. That's exactly what makes this stop worth talking about.
Tres Potrillos in the Montrose area of Copley is a legitimate Mexican restaurant with a cool bar, a well-decorated patio that earns its reputation in the warmer months, and a happy hour that pairs bar wings with a cold Mexican lager in a way that makes complete sense once you're sitting there with both in front of you. The hot buffalo sauce is the one to order. It hits the way a good buffalo sauce should — no identity crisis about being in a Mexican restaurant, just a solid wing sauce doing its job.
This is the kind of stop that doesn't show up on anyone's wing radar until someone who's already been there tells you about it. The quest exists precisely for moments like this one. A place that isn't trying to be a wing destination quietly turns out wings worth coming back for, tucked inside a menu full of other things worth ordering.
Order the wings at happy hour. Get the Mexican lager to go with them. Thank yourself later.
