    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!!!

    Tampiqueño plate with mole enchiladas instead of Verde.

    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.

    Surprised we just heard about this place, considering they've been in business for over 25+ years! Had an absolutely delicious dinner. They are shortstaffed, so there may be a bit of a wait, but totally worth it. Even though they were busy, the staff was very friendly and served us warm chips and delicious (and spicy!) salsa to start. The frozen margaritas are now one of my favorites in the city. Definitely recommend the Avocado Relleno--it was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was very tender. Can't wait to go back!

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

    First and foremost, I absolutely love CAVA. There are so many great vegetarian options that you…read morereally can't go wrong. I order from here often via Uber Eats and have never been disappointed until today. I ordered a bowl with my usual veggies, falafel, rice, super greens, schug, pita crisps, garlic dressing, hummus and tzatziki. When my order was delivered, I was disappointed to find that the garlic dressing and skhug were already mixed into the bowl instead of being on the side like they usually are. The hummus and tzatziki were also on the bottom of my bowl. I really wish third-party ordering platforms and restaurants gave customers the option to request dressings and sauces on the side. This has never been an issue before, so I was surprised this time around. I was also surprised to find a long piece of hair in my bowl. Don't get me wrong -- the meal was still absolutely delicious. I just would've preferred everything to come on the side like usual. This definitely won't stop me (if I find another piece of hair in my food that will be a different story) from ordering from or dining at CAVA in the future, but I hope there can be a little more attention to these details moving forward.

    The "wrap" was not wrapped. They didn't bother attempting to wrap my wife's it was hilariously…read moresloppy and gnarly. I asked the guy at the register if he could try to wrap mine, it fell apart immediately. The "wrap" was also completely doused in dressing the liquid was soaking through. The whole thing resembled one of those tik tok videos where they just dump stuff on a plate. In addition to training employees better at some point you have to hire people who have a basic sense of how food is prepared and served, anyone who just prepares basic food at home would realize something was very wrong. +1 star because I saw an employee showing a few other employees how to wrap pitas while we walked out.

    So that was D-freaking-licious. What a great place to brunch! This was my first time at Paperboy…read moreSouth, and now it has burned itself into my brain for future visits to Austin. Great vibe, interesting menu, friendly but unobtrusive service... digging it. We started with some ricotta toast, a first for me, but man whenever I find this again... it will be ordered. Wow, what a great flavor with the fluffy ricotta, tangy fruit and glaze. This was a revelation for me. Honestly, right now cannot remember the name of my specific dish, but honestly it was like a brunchy carnitas platter, and I was here for it. Nothing like BYO tacos with a brunch spin. I just remember loving it. Great visit, thanks Paperboy South!

    Finally got to try this place. I've tried the east side location and man, it's hard to get in…read more Came with another friends and we sat on the outside patio. Really enjoy that the patio is fully covered, yes if it were to be a windy, rainy day may not work out but for the most part this was great. They have a take out window for orders as well. Inside looked quaint with bright lighting. I got the pancakes cause it was recommended and they weren't too shabby. Would I say they are the best? No, tasty, yes. Friends got other dishes, of course I don't remember what they were but they did enjoy. Make a reservation and try them out. Parking was also convenient and they validate.
