    Service was quick and friendly, we started with chips and salsa (decent) and our entrees came out quite quickly. PIPING hot! Both got chicken enchiladas with cheese sauce, with rice and beans. In a Friday night the place was pretty poppin. Last time we came on a week night and it was fairly quiet. Only complaint is that I got soda and both visits it was totally flat. Just get water instead

    Chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce and the mole enchiladas

    We tried La Posada for the first time and it was delicious! We are so happy to have discovered such a yummy spot close to home, we will be back!!!

    One of my favorite Tex Mex places, ever! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it's all great! Incredible service and the food is always fresh and piping hot! Today I ordered the Tampiqueño plate, one of my favorites. I asked for chicken mole enchiladas instead of the chicken enchiladas in tomatillo sauce. I'm so full!

    L ordered mole Enchiladas and I had pork tamales with a puff beef taco. The rice was excellent and the beans good. Our entrees were outstanding! We started with Margaritas that were well made. Our server was attended and friendly. The interior was nicely appointed. We will return.

    First time here decided to have Mexican food for lunch and decided in this cute place. Busy restaurant which means great food and it was just that Husband got the shrimp enchiladas w/tomatillo and he was amazed how tasty it was had the right blend of salt and tart from the tomatillos, shrimp was cooked perfectly- it was so good he brought it up 4 hrs later I got the carnitas plate the rice and beans so tasty I was disappointed with the carnitas it was so dry I think it was the way it was cut into cubes- will not be ordering carnitas again The standout was the chips and tortilla's it was the best

    Nice place with lots of friendly servers, we were driving around when my wife was asking me for a coffee since Starbucks is in the same shopping center, I told her what about to go into this place? And she was sure let's try it. The place is nice and clean and the atmosphere is great, the servers Melanie and Isabel were the best with suggestions. Great food and drinks. No need to drive to San Antonio anymore for food like this. I can't wait to go back to this place.

    La Posada is a hidden Tex mex gem in the south Austin community. The menu is vast as is their drink selection and the portions are incredibly huge! I especially looove their chips and house salsa. Their salsa has a little bit of heat to it which is nice. The food is really good, but with their combination plates everything seems to taste all the same. Unless you get green chicken enchiladas, mole, or tamales. The drinks are crazy good for the price, I have to be careful! Service can be slow when they're super busy. I don't think they're short staffed per say, more it just depends on who your server is. However they're all super nice and sweet. This is a pretty affordable bang for your buck kind of Tex mex restaurant.

    What kind of cheese do they use for their cheese enchiladas? Is it that processed American crap?

    it looks and tastes so good for it to be processed american crap

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

We started with their famous house Margaritas with Tajín, and they were absolutely delicious--and definitely strong in the best way. My boyfriend and I shared the Ceviche Las Brisas, which was incredibly fresh with generous, perfectly cut pieces of fresh white fish from the Gulf of Mexico. For our main dish, we split the vegetable Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, served with rice and black refried beans. I wish the enchiladas had more vegetables. Everything on the plate was outstanding, and I truly think they have the best mole in town--rich, complex, and unforgettable. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday, and the staff made it extra special by surprising her with a complimentary Tres Leches cake, which was just as amazing as everything else we had. Great food, lively atmosphere, and wonderful service--Fonda San Miguel continues to be one of our favorite spots. We can't wait to go back!
