La Posada is a flavorful gem with incredible service! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and their food is even better! The Tajin Elote is a total flavor bomb; it was so delicious that we had to order an extra one to take home! The true highlight of the evening was the Enchiladas with Salsa Verde and Mole. I opted for the Soy Tinga option, and the combination of flavors and textures was amazing! I really appreciate that the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options are not an afterthought for them. They taste just as authentic and high quality as the traditional dishes. The bar is extensive, and they offer many high end tequilas/mezcal, and craft cocktails. My Mezcal Paradise cocktail was perfectly balanced. The 4 Leches Cake was rich and creamy; it melts in your mouth! The restaurant has a vibrant and cozy atmosphere, with bright colors to match the lively Latin American theme. They are open late, making it a popular late-night spot. I highly recommend Meatless Mondays, and I can't wait to come back and try more of their vegetarian soy options! read more

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. read more

They sat us down. We waited over 20 minutes, nobody ever came to take our order so we got up and left. Place is also extremely cramped.

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Yum! I went on Taco Tuesday and what a great deal for delicious food and drinks. For $20 you get two tacos of your choice and a margarita. The food is fresh and plentiful. The yucca taco was stuffed and so tasty. I loved the chicken mole taco too. We split the tajin corn ribs appetizer and cleaned the plate. They have a big variety of margaritas and they are carefully made, generous, and so yummy. It's got a casual and lively vibe inside. The staff was friendly. Parking can be a little difficult, but there are meters. read more

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! read more

Ordered takeout but the food was still delicious! They offer many unique vegetarian/vegan dishes that I've never tried before so I had the beefless asada quesadillas and my partner ordered the empanadas, pupusas, and Cuban plate. All orders came with sides, sauces, and all the fix ins. Great food and will definitely return to dine in soon. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

La Posada Restaurant & Tequila Bar - Shrimp Taco DELICIOUS - Salvadoran Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

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. read more

I had meant to write this review a few months ago, but was distracted at the time. However now I have the time and wanted to share that I had an awful experience. The food was mediocre at best, but the service is what truly upset me. They hardly came around to check on us, and when I finally went to the person myself who was also on their phone, (this was early in the morning as well, and only one waiter was there at the moment we could see) they immediately put their hand in my face, and said "no." then walked straight out of the place. She eventually came back, took her a while, was very confused and we left asap after paying. Disrespectful experience, will not be going back. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Delicious pupusas (birria, bean and cheese). Loved the sauce. The birria taco was good but consome not as flavorful. The horchata was delicious! read more

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! read more

In love with their carne asada bowl! At first I thought I was going to be disappointed because of the portion size but it ended up being just the right about and made up for it in flavor. The beans were cooked perfect and didn't make the rice soggy. The cheese was melted over everything and the carne asada was cooked perfectly and seasoned great. I'm used to have meat chunks that are chewy, fatty, or pale looking but these were perfect! I wish there was more sour cream but that's just me being a sour cream fanatic. The guac tasted super fresh. The chips tasted homemade and were salted with the right about. The green salsa was mildly spicy. The flan was a bit too eggy for me; I'm more of a fan of the creamy kind. The tilapia fillets were excellent. The egg was cooked perfectly, the avocado was ripe, and the fish was well seasoned, and the breading was flaky and crunchy. The rice was good and the plantain was sweet and ripe. Easily two meals in one because of how big of a portion it is. read more

Finally found a good place in the area for Latin American food! We had a large group and was able to make a reservation. Really enjoyed the birria tacos - they were SO crispy and the pork was tender! The margaritas were great too! Very fun and festive restaurant! The restaurant was very packed with people and sometimes it was hard to get the servers' attention. Bathrooms are available and clean! read more

Probably the best Mexican food I've ever had. It has sufficiently amount of meat in the tacos and empanadas. The serving size is more than enough and the flavours are authentic.

I loved eating there since it was pretty cute but the food is better than the service and they give a pretty great portion for their prices

Wonderful food. Amazing service! The Mezcal, Myself and I is delicious and is made with slow cooked, caramelized pineapple! The owner shared his homemade Tequila describing how it was made and was awesome. We highly recommend La Posada!!!! read more

The burritos are pretty good but we really need an option for extra meat. It sometimes feels like eating a mouthful of rice

Got takeout on a Friday night from La Posada - so good. Got a chicken burrito with chipotle sauce on the side, and while the burrito was delicious on its own, the chipotle sauce brought it to a whole new level. I loved that the burritos came with their own side of chips. Service at pick-up was friendly and seamless. I'll be back! read more

Had such a great time at La Posada! The service was great, ambiance was SO fun, and the food all came out steaming and delicious. We loved their margs, as well!! Would recommend to anyone in the area - it was a great dinner and I bet it would be equally as great for lunch or on a chill weekend day :) Top 3 orders: 1. Mango margarita - sweet but not too sweet and the rim was delicious!! Had to get another round, I really enjoyed this as a start to the meal and the flavor went perfectly with all our food. I also love mango, so this didn't disappoint. As an added bonus, the margarita glasses are so cute!! 2. Tequenos - I've never tried these before but will be keeping a close eye out for them on any menus in the future!! SO delicious. Kind of a thicker and crunchier puff pastry wrapped around a generous bite of chewy cheese. So so good - and the dipping sauce was perfection! 3. 4 leches cake - not sure what the fourth leche was given I feel like it's usually a 3 leches cake, but this was SO good. Extremely decadent from start to finish, but literally the perfect end to our meal. The frosting was delicious and I love the denseness at the bottom!! This place is a winner - I can't wait to come back for more :) read more

Very nice vibe we went for cinco. It was busy and our server was busy so not sure it was reflective of their real service in a normal night. The food was tasty but there were mix ups with the orders and what was actually on our bill so that was the biggest issue. read more

We ordered nacho fries with carne, carnitas enchiladas, beef birria chimichanga, and mango mojito. The nacho fries were really good and came with loads of toppings. I love how crispy the fries were and the portion was decent-sized to share with 2 people. My boyfriend said his enchiladas were alright, but he did not seem like a big fan of the sauce. I got the beef birria chimichanga, which was absolutely amazing in both taste and presentation. This thing was HUGE and I had to end up bringing it back home to finish. It was flavorful and stuffed with beef, which was great! The mango mojito was alright; I've had better, but it wasn't the worst. The service and vibe were pretty nice, with music playing in the background. They also have outdoor seating, but we opted to sit inside. Overall, I had a pretty good experience and would come back to try other things on their menu! read more

It used to be one of our favourite places. We ordered delivery with Uber Eats as usual - fries, chicken quesadillas and beef tacos. We didn't get quesadillas at all, but what we've got is a GIANT STAPLER BRACKET inside the taco. I can't even think of the reasons why would you have a stapler in the kitchen. Yes, maybe for packing orders, but how could it fall inside a closed plastic container (and inside the closed taco, it was not on top)? Did they put the bracket there on purpose? This is unacceptable and scary, please beware and think twice if you want to order something from this place! read more
