    Really enjoyed my visit last night. My friend and I tried their Halloween drinks, tacos, and guacamole. The tacos were respectable size so two is a good serving. Service was friendly and attentive. They did accidentally give us a round of mocktails instead of the requested cocktails but they were so good I am deducting a star.

    Beef Birria Chimichanga

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this little restaurant/bar - perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. We came on a weeknight so it was relatively quiet. We ended up ordering a couple drinks, a lavender margarita and a horchata, which were both tasty. I've definitely had better horchatas before, but the margarita was a unique flavor which I liked. For the table, we ordered chips and salsa verde, a beef birria chimichanga, and two tacos. We were shocked at how tasty the chips and dip were - both tasted extremely fresh and the salsa in particular had a lot of flavor. I also really enjoyed the chimichanga- there was so much birria inside that it definitely was worth the price! The only thing I really didn't like were their tacos... the toppings were a bit strange and didn't really work for me. Skip the tacos and get some of of the other dishes here!

    Stopped in for some late night food. Started off with a classic corona and some chips and salsa verde. The waiter recommended we also try the jalapeño queso--it was good! We then ordered the birria tacos and 3 pupusas. All were good and hit the spot so late at night. Food came out fairly quickly as well The vibes in here were also chill and I liked the lighting especially around the bar. Check this spot out!

    I'm usually disappointed by Mexican food in Boston but everything I tried here blew me away. This is a popular spot so I recommend a reservation otherwise you'll likely wait a while. They have Latin music videos playing which adds some fun ambiance.

    Birria Ramen
    Pete W.

    Birria ramen is quality! It is an interesting idea and the first I've tried. Apparently it's the new avocado toast. Delicious savory broth, hardboiled egg(not soy soaked or runny), birria meat, and thin noodles. The service was fast and friendly. While waiting for our take out they got us waters and kept them filled. The restaurant is a great vibe and I will be coming back. Well done La Posada!

    Truly amazing. I just went for the first time, and did not expect it to be this good. The specialties are Tacos and Margaritas I am blown away by how good the food was as well as the service. Possibly the best customer service I've ever had in a restaurant. They were very attentive, friendly, and all had great attitudes. Going above and beyond!! It's very rare that I go to a restaurant where I tell myself that I want to come back. Cozy atmosphere with happy music. Not too bright and not too dark. Great for bringing friends, family, and co-workers. Adding to list of new favorites. Highly recommend. The Manager Joe is also awesome and an expert of Tequila

    I almost don't want to give away how much of a hidden gem this place is because I don't want to lose it to the masses haha. But I'm obsessed. This is my FAVORITE Mexican place in the Boston-area hands down. I've brought several friends here and they all agree. The Taco Tuesday deal is great - for $20 you get 2 tacos and a marg. The tacos are pretty sizeable. The CHICKEN TACO is unlike anything I've ever tried. Please get it. Whatever sauce they're using is witchcraft. The birria ramen is so good. Their rotating list of margs is fun and creative. Everyone who works here is so chill, and I appreciate their extensive knowledge of tequila and mezcal. Can't wait to sit on the patio when it opens for summer!

    Polla Pollo a la Plancha
    Lydia L.

    Ambiance was nice and I love that the kitchen is open late. So far not huge on the food and we didn't try the drinks. I only LOVED the churros. Food seems hit or miss so things we ordered were: - polla a la plancha: chicken was dry and menu deceiving. Said the chicken was served with rice, beans, corn salad, and plantains. But it turned out that you can only get 2 out of the 4. Menu should definitely change the wording. Chicken was dry. Salad was ok. Plaintains were tasty though! - beef birria ramen - too salty but interesting - beef birria chimichanga - friend said it was really food - steak & shrimp tacos - a little dry Service wise, it was okay. I think it was just a little difficult to communicate sometimes.

    Shrimp Taco DELICIOUS
    Kristin C.

    Ty La Posada for the most amazing shrimp tacos ever!!!!! Excellent service, wonderful ambience, and great prices!

    Read as 3.5 stars. Guacamole was fresh and chips were warm. Guacamole was on the simple side, and only had tomatoes added to it. Ordered shrimp, fish and yuca tacos - the shrimp was defintely the better option of the 3. While all 3 were good - the toppings were the same on all tacos. I think by varying the toppings they can enhance flavors more. Overall food was good but nothing amazing. Service was friendly and attentive. Plenty of metered parking around.

    A serviceable Mexican menu but we were disappointed they were out of many options the Friday night we were there. The music was blaring so loud you couldn't hold a conversation. We'll probably look for another option next time.

    Beef Empanadas (3)
    Hannah G.

    SUCH an underrated spot!! I can't believe La Posada isn't talked about more. Their Birria Tacos are the best I've had in the boston area to date- the margs and apps are great, and they do tequila tastings on Thursdays. I went on a weeknight and it was fairly busy but service was still good. I was obsessed with the birria and the empanadas. You also either need to get a dish that comes with plantains (like the crispy shrimp dish I got) or get a side of them because they were incredible. Will 100% be coming back!

    Finally found my go to Mexican restaurant in Somerville! I've been twice now and both times have been great. They have a large cocktail and drinks menu and have a rotating seasonal drink menu that is fun, so there is always something new to try (I've had two different sangrias and both have been yummy). They have the BEST chips here-- you can tell they fry them and make them fresh in house, I easily devour the whole basket. When I went most recently, I ordered a birria burrito and it was absolutely delicious (and huge portion!) For only $12 I got the massive burrito which also came with it's own side of chips and salsa. Additionally, the service is great and attentive (dropped my napkin and server brought me a new one without even having to ask). It's a cute and cozy space, with a little bit of parking near by which is nice. La Posada is definitely in my regular restaurant rotaation now and will be going back in the near future!

It was hard to choose one, but I got the A Perfect Circle and it was quite tasty. I'm eager to try some of their other drinks, since the cocktails were definitely the highlight of the experience for me. The dim sum portions were larger than I expected, which meant we ordered way too much food. We had the fried chicken, the cucumber salad, the shrimp, the pork wontons, the soy sauce noodles, the daikon/enoki dish (I forget the name) and the charred broccoli. There wasn't anything I didn't like, but I did find that the flavor profile seemed very similar for many of the items--it seemed like most things were topped with a generous portion of chili oil, scallions, and sesame seeds. I found that this contributed to a fairly uniform flavor experience and was getting a little weary of chili oil after several dishes. The food was also spicier than I anticipated (though to be fair, I have a low spice tolerance, so others might disagree.) I would have enjoyed some less spicy options to balance out our meal. Overall, all the food was good, though, but I think if I come back I'd get fewer items (3-4 would have been plenty for 2 people) and that might also help with everything blurring together. The service was great and our waitstaff was helpful and attentive.

    We had reservations for 7:30, and when we got there, the place was decently busy - a few empty…read moretables here and there - so we were seated immediately. We ordered quickly after perusing the (rather short) menu, most of which was either small plates and cocktails . Our first plate was the hainan chicken arancini. I really liked the contrast in textures between the crispy exterior and the tender chicken and rice mix on the inside. Overall flavour was not bad, too, but I'm not sure that it was exactly good enough to merit the price point of $18. Next was the Xi'an street noodles, which was probably my favourite dish of the meal. The noodles were very well cooked - chewy but not too soft - and I loved the sauce, with the gentle peanut aroma on top of the various spices they used. One comment was that the chilli crisp, which was tasty, was very lacking (in amount) and as a consequence the dish was really not spicy at all. Finally we had the chilli crisp buffalo chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was boneless (I was expecting something more like chicken wings), which made for very clean eating :) The buffalo sauce was nice (and perhaps a bit spicier than the aforementioned chilli crisp) and the chicken itself was very rich and juicy. Portion size was quite large too and overall I was very happy with this plate. For drinks we ordered the Jaded, which was a fun matcha-themed cocktail (even the marshmallow was matcha-flavoured) and a (spirit-free) cranberry limeade, which was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. Overall a yummy meal, but definitely very expensive. I would be interested to try some more of their cocktails, which seem very creative, but I'm not sure if I would be keen to come again primarily for the food. (To be fair, though, this is often the modus operandi of these restaurants that specialise in small plates and drinks )
