Potrero Information and Highlights

Here's a quick rundown of our list:

Potrero Information and Highlights

Potrero is a border town, that for lack of a better phrase is “Muy Caliente”, both in climate as well as disposition. It is just a skip over the border from Mexico. As you can imagine given the constant political and social atmosphere surrounding the frontier mire, Potrero is the sort of place that can put hair on any teenager’s chest.

It truly is one of the last frontier towns of America. A place where laws, attitudes and morals are elastic at best. Potrero is the closest neighborhood to Tecate in Mexico.

A town held strong by INS and NSA politics and personal. A rural pastoral town, where everyday is an adventure and your next door neighbors will rapidly become your allies and trusted confidants.

Potrero, covers an area of 3,1 square miles. Open fields brimming with terra-cotta vistas and sporadic puffs of emerald green. Cacti of all types, desert sage, marigolds, tumbleweeds and the occasional coyote or two.

Potrero is the true grit wild west, without the fancy Disneyland getup and touristy fanfare. This “pastural land” (what Potrero means in Spanish), is the real west. Cowboys riding into the sunset, good times and camaraderie in every corners, plus the occasional desperado waltzing through town.

Weather

The area in Potrero is mostly is dry with an annual average rainfall of 11.8 inches (300 mm). A desert terrain where the temperature oscillates between the extremes. Middays blast the zone with a heat wave that will have every person in search of a cool Air Conditioner, while come dusk, the desert will swirl into the area a breath of fresh air that will temper the soul and chill the spirit.

Recreation

Potrero’s main source of activities and fun is highly connected to its desert landscape. Off the road excursion that edge their way into the almost mystical beauty of a tanned and sandy mural of majestic proportions. ATV adventures, horseback riding, hiking and cross-country running. Biking over traitorous terrain, defying the laws of gravity and allowing your adrenaline to pump your heart into a rhythmic clamor.

Shopping

Potrero’s shopping district is refined to just a series of stores that hold the bare essentials for living out in the desert. Shelves, cupboards and counters brimming with the right tools and nutrients you’ll require out here so close to the border. Don’t come to Portero in search of an Apple Store or a Macy’s.

Restaurants

Potrero’s restaurants and bistros are mundane in their fare. They are mom and pop affaires that have been transferred like sacred family heirlooms from one generation to the next. Recipes tested and perfected with the passage of time. Each one sporting a menu that would make Uncle Sam proud.

Landmarks

Conclusion

John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, back in their golden years, would have saddled into Potrero and easily declared: “I’m home.” This is a town that still manages to keep the cowboy fantasy alive. A modern take on the age-old, try-grit outlaw, riding high and showing everyone who’s boss. Potrero’s otherworldly appeal lies in that fantasy, in that ideal some of us still manage to clink to in the autumn of our lives. The dream of being a cowboy.
