    Tampiqueño plate with mole enchiladas instead of Verde.
    Gary M.

    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!

    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!!!

    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?

    Is it terrific marketing or terrible planning to put MAD Greens in the same building as CAVA? I…read morefeel like the kind of people who are interested in a healthy bowl of nourishing food would be split not quite down the middle between both of these restaurants. Are they hoping the better-known Mediterranean bowl place will be so full they can catch their overflow? People in a rush might skip the line and try this less-known healthy bowl food restaurant instead? But I digress... I had tried CAVA four times or so and every time I saw MAD Greens and thought, Someday I'm going to try that place. Well, last Sunday was the day. I got to eat what I wanted because I was eating solo. I'm going all in on this trial run, I thought to myself, so I bought one salad for that day and ordered another to be my lunch the following day. I walked in and was the only customer in the restaurant. I was greeted warmly by the young man behind the counter, who called me queen and had no complaint about my asking for no tomatoes and the dressings on the side. I tried the Greek one and the sesame sriracha one. The place was clean enough and the employees seemed to be enjoying themselves, chatting and goofing off a reasonable amount. The bowls were great. I chose the Greek one first when I realized it had pita chips inside. It came with two dressings, the creamier of which was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Confession--I am a recovering picky eater and I hate cucumbers, but I love sneaking them into my body underneath delicious dressings and salty kalamatas. The second day I ate the sesame sriracha situation. It had tofu, which tbh I have never successfully eaten, and it was really good. It reminded me of the paneer in Indian food. That salad had edamame too, so I was definitely satiated and I'm guessing I got plenty of protein. Overall, I will definitely go back. CAVA has had some consistency problems for me, as well as some of my favorite offerings being limited-time or seasonal (isn't it the worst when restaurants lure you in with seasonal offerings you can't count on?!), so I'm glad to have had such a positive experience here and I'm hoping they will be consistently good.

    I'm gonna be honest... I'm not much of a salad person cause I love to leave it to the rabbits and I…read morecall salads "Rabbit food" lol. However, I must say that MAD Greens makes some MAD GOOD salads. My go to is the spicy bacon bowl with boil eggs. I feel better about my life when I order this because I'm getting my greens in, getting my protein with the chicken, and I'm actually enjoying my rabbit food (aka salad). This is a must have for me. Coming from a non salad person ( I know... it's okay to judge me) I really enjoy their salads and their spicy bacon bowl makes me happy. Another food item that I love is their Mac and cheese. It's so tasty. I love it here and love their salads because the greens taste fresh. #madgoodness

Sat inside. Has a very modern, clean, well laid out, upscale diner feel, with comfortable booth seating (and an outdoor area too that was spacious, but not appealing to me on a reasonably warm, somewhat humid day). Let me get right to it. Everything I ate was A++. The five of us shared a pancake, which was extremely fluffy and tasty, with melted butter. I did not have the French toast, which looked inviting, but a sugar overload. I also did not try the homemade pop tart that everyone said was very good. My latte with whole milk, served hot, was delicious. I went simple -- had two eggs, with bacon, potatoes, and toast. This was a memorable breakfast with ordinary ingredients that was prepared in an exceptional manner and perfectly seasoned. There's not much more that I can say, other than when you can make the ordinary taste special you're doing something extremely right! Our primary server, see photo, was delightful and efficient.

That's when they shared with me that their internet went down and they were finally getting all the tickets. They were all standing behind the bar, observing that nobody was getting food or drink and not working on making anything. At some point you'd think that they would've made an announcement or asked us if we ordered something.
