    Terrible everything, food arrived cold and soggy. It was bland and tasteless even after reheating. Was told my food was cold because my driver was unable to use the bathroom unless they bought something and that it was the law how ridiculous. Wasn't worth it even with a deal from UberEats. Might be better when you go into the restaurant, but I wouldn't support someone who takes advice from Amazon on how to treat their drivers. Yes their drivers because they are working for them at no cost to the restaurant.

    We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back

    This restaurant is situated in Somerville and we were fortunate to find it when searching online for a location to try Tequila tasting for my wife’s birthday and so so glad we found this gem. The decor and ambiance is a cool and welcoming spot with a very nice latin vibe. They offer tequila tasting every Thursday and last night was our chance to try it out. We were a little early so enjoyed a cocktail at the bar and enjoyed the music. At 7:00pm we sat and began our tasting of a good number of premium and never tried Tequilas, with appetizers as well throughout. Our host and tequila expert was Johe Posada and was above and beyond in explaining not only each tequila, the process used but also about their food and restaurant goals and plans, he made the night and a reason we stayed for dinner too. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses. I had the hands down best beef chimichanga I’ve had yet and my wife had carnitas enchiladas which was also amazing. We will be back for sure, with over ninety four tequilas and an amazing menu this is a top spot for sure.

    Average at best. Overpriced and the food wasn't that great. The chicken empanadas were mushy inside, and the tequila flights were a 1/4 shot a piece so I ended up paying 32 bucks for a shot. The service wasn't great and she seemed distracted and preoccupied. I won't be returning.

    It’s a cool spot to hang at the bar with great Latino music. Food was average, the birria taco tortilla was a bit dry, and there’s not enough sauce for what is proportional to the tacos. The nacho fries was okay, some parts were hot and cold. The service was slow despite not being too busy. It took a while just get a beer, and water. There’s just a lot of meat but nothing else was seasoned.

    Disappointed to write this review after having a good few experiences here. Tonight was pretty awful. We ordered a $19 and an $18 drink that took over a half hour to receive, were watered down, and didn’t even taste good. The food came a bit faster once we were able to order but communication and checking in on us was greatly lacking. We had to ask multiple times for a second drink and for boxes. The restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time but everything took way longer than it should. They are trying to make this place cool and dim and hip but it isn’t hitting the way it did at first. We spent over $108 and all I’m leaving with is frustration and regret.

    Loved the place. Drinks were amazing, the food tasted great. Such an authentic taste. Loved going to a place that had two pages for vegans & vegetarians. So many options for us veggie lovers it was hard to make a decision. Great great meal. Service is slower so I reccomend if you're starving order all at once. Friendly staff! I'll definitely be back.

    Loved the chimichanga! The Birria ramen and the empanadas were okay. Will return for their tequila tasting and more chimichanga.

    My jalapeño margarita was made well and tasted good! My issue with this place is when you make a specific order they don’t follow directions. I told them exactly what I wanted for my burrito bowl and they added so many extra things that I didn’t want due to my dietary restrictions. When it came with rice they took it back and in 3 minutes they returned it without the rice. But the bottom half was drenched with watery black beans. There was barely any lettuce, guac, pico, or meat. My friends say they have good tacos so I guess go for that here and their drinks. But I would stay away from their burrito bowls if you have dietary restrictions, stick to Chipotle.

    The vegan rice bowl was a delightful lunch option that is healthy and nutritious. Perfect balance of flavors, rice, beans, and veggies with guacamole. The grilled veggies like cauliflower and broccoli were the highlight and tasty even to those who won’t eat them regularly. Chips are good and made fresh. Only thing is they gave salsa verde instead of regular salsa for the chips.

    Really appreciate that they have vegan options. I saw it on Instagram and was happy to try someplace new. Nice to try latin dishes. I got the vegan fiesta platter and the fried plantains were my favorite.

    Very chill atmosphere and authentic, quality cuisine. The music varies but it's all very good imo. The cocktails are well prepared as well. Service is usually quick, but expect a bit of lag after Taco Tuesdays, because of how busy they get.

    Bought 6 pupusas (and 3 empanadas), spent $40 and only got four tiny cups of curtido. Went back and had to pay $8+ for enough curtido. This should already come with the pupusa given they’re eaten together….Am I right or am I right?

    First time dining at La Posada and both my husband and I agreed the food and drink were out of this world. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! We ordered margaritas, shrimp bites, fish tacos, vegan burrito and leche cake for dessert. Service was fantastic and atmosphere is authentic and comfortable. We will be back!

    Tacos were good. Drinks excellent. Service not great. Took 10 minutes for someone to seat me. I had to go back into the restaurant to order another drink. Then the waiter was more attentive.

    After weeks, maybe months, of driving by this restaurant and wanting to try it out - we dined in yesterday for lunch. When we first walked in, I was pleased to see an inviting, clean, organized, stylish restaurant. Our server greeted us warmly upon entry from behind the bar. She gave us the seat near the window - right by the heaters on this cold day - the best seat in the house. Our server throughout the entire experience was polite, punctual and knowledgeable. I was very impressed by the margarita selection - some concoctions I have never seen before including Pumpkin Spice cocktails/margaritas. Didn't want to drink for lunch so I got a Mango Margarita Mocktail with tajin rim - I was in heaven. For lunch I got the Lime Chicken Wings - I couldn't have eaten them faster - they were so fresh, crunchy and delicious. They were out of the elote from the night before, which I really wanted to try, but I took it as a good sign that it must be a favorite - and I can't wait to come back to try it again. I will be taking people from out of town here and telling all of my friends about it! We will return.

    I had a great experience today at la posada restaurant. We were greeted very good from the entrance to the end. Server came to check on us to make sure we were enjoying our drinks and food. The other guy made sure we always had water at our table. It was just a great experience.

    Great spot for authentic Mexican. Visited on the Old Dirty Boston Tapas Tour. So glad I found this place tacos were amazing!

  • 5/5 Ariel C. 1 year ago on Google
    this is a lovely place to spend time. The owner and the waiters treat you as part of their family. They make me feel comfortable and safe to drink alcoholic beverage. Plus, the owner teach me how to drink a good tequila shot! I learn so much from him. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a crazy night out with your girlfriends.

  • 5/5 TiElla G. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a vibe of chill for good company. The food was delicious. Definitely enjoyed the vegetable empanadas. Their veggie and non-vegan options were plenty!

  • 5/5 Arianna D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite places to meet friends. My go-to order is the passion fruit margarita and the crispy shrimp bites. They have an amazing selection of tequila and their Tequila Thursday tastings are great. The owner is super knowledgable about Tequila so it's a fun & educational experience.

  • 5/5 Susan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Super good food. I got the beef empanadas and my dining companion got the beef birra tacos which were phenomenal. I never drink but ordered one of their Halloween margaritas and I was not disappointed. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. At the bar they had a lightning cable charger which was handy.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here with my husband for their meatless Mondays specials. Where the offer 20% off of their vegan and vegetarian options. The food was so good and the drinks were amazing! The waitress was super friendly and we will definitely be going back very soon!

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, phenomenal service! The pork belly tacos were delicious and the owner was our waiter. Treated us great and offered a shot of some amazing exclusive tequila with our dessert which was just the best cherry on top. HIGHLY recommend, we will be returning for sure.

  • 5/5 Gopi D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious! Especially recommend the enchiladas and tacos

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal. All I can say. Every thing we ordered was incredible. Loved the tacos. The empanadas were probably the best I've had anywhere in the world. We were worried at first at the margaritas (served in huge marg glasses) but they were fantastic. Our new favorite spot in the area and maybe in Boston.
