Family owned super friendly staff and reasonable prices. It's Tex Mex ( which I love!) we've been going for a few years now and it's gradually getting busier (good for them!) I do wish they'd open other one on William cannon in Eastern park, close to me and I'd put on anther 10 lbs as I'd eat there several times a week! Be prepared to exit around 20 mins on a Friday night at peak time around 7pm. it's well worth the wait. The frozen house Margarita is the best btw. read more

After living in South Austin for over 10 years now La Posada is definitely a go-to spot for Tex Mex eats and drinks. I love their homemade limonada (lemonade) and that they have white cheese as an option to cover your meal in! Breakfast tacos are nice and fat just like you want them and a fairly decent price. When you order tacos to-go the staff is super nice enough to wrap a small white napkin around the foiled taco with the name of what the taco is. This is super helpful especially for me when I order at least half - a dozen tacos each order. My partner really touts La Posada's al pastor tacos here as he really enjoys the nice charred al pastor mixed in with the finely chopped pineapple and onions. Do note that the al pastor tacos are defaulted on flour tortillas and includes cheese so if you are not down with that you will need to let them know you want those on corn tortillas and no cheese. Happy Hour specials during the week are worth visiting La Posada alone as they have some great deals on food AND margs as well. Check the chalkboard above the kitchen window area as they have all specials for happy hour listed including the timeframe (which I believe is 3pm-6pm). You will have to double check that time. Otherwise La Posada is a great Tex Mex staple to have in Austin and offers wonderful options for food and has great service every time we visit. read more

Ordered the migas and the agua de piña. The chips were good. The agua de piña was the best part of the meal. So sweet and refreshing. The migas was good. I have had better migas elsewhere but it was tasty here. The service was great. If in the area, I'd go back and try their lunch or dinner menu too read more

This is the absolute best Mexican restaurant to go to for Enchiladas. I've been coming here for years and years and ever since getting the cheese enchiladas the first visit, I've never ordered anything different. If you're in the Austin area or any surrounding city, this place is TOTALLY worth the drive. I take everyone visiting town to this restaurant. Service is also great and very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. It's not too big or too small and they even have a party room which I've rented out on more than one occasion. If you've never been here, you absolutely need to plan a visit. read more

We went here last night at 8:30 pm, happy to find a place open until 10:00. The waitress seemed to be in a hurry so we ordered the first draft beer she mentioned. That keg turned out to be empty, not a biggie, but maybe a hint to the remainder of the visit. We ordered our food, finished off the chips and a tiny cup of salsa, ordered more of that. Got the salsa, but never any chips. The food came, nothing outstanding but ok. Just a couple of minutes into the meal, someone wheels a mop bucket full of some toxic ammonia based cleaner through the dining area, past our booth, then proceeds to carry it up the stairs behind us and begins mopping. We all got a major dose of fumes, one person had to get up and leave before throwing up. The couple in the booth behind us had the same reaction. A guy at another table said "yeah, they do that every night around this time... it's really annoying." It never did dissipate, so we had to leave. We mentioned it to the server and the girl at the checkout, both couldn't care less. $80 tab. Guessing it's not cost effective to keep staff around and clean after regular business hours, so just be prepared to dine in a janitor's closet if you go here at night. This place is Fabuloso! read more

****Best Frozen House Margarita**** You must read to understand why. First of all I finally found a margarita thats a "10"...Have you ever had a margarita you liked but couldn't enjoy....brain freezes, your chest hurting, headaches, etc...we get a older and we analyze it all...this margarita its perfect!! How its frozen consistency flows and melts without that harsh snap and cold jolt...right amount of alcohol...too much is too much...the mix is just right...no sourness as of fresh lime that burns your throat. A plastic margarita glass...less weight, easier to pick up, less condensation...this margarita has all the benefits from drinking alcohol...no side effects!!! You have to have one here...and as i prefer a margarita with chili powder on rim its not the standard. Please dont show up here i dont want this place to get anymore crowded....only been here twice...friendly staff, amazing enchiladas, and quite possibly the best Mexican restaurant you will find in a random plaza!!!! read more

If you like un- authentic Mexican food with nothing made fresh or from scratch- this is the place for you. Taco Bell is better

I have been coming to this place since I was a kid. It used to be a family owned place (maybe it still is? I'm not sure but I think it changed hands). What I like about it is they really do AUTHENTIC Tex mex and Mexican food. They have a really delicious flauta plate that I like, and this place has delicious complimentary chips and salsa but BEWARE - I do think it's the spiciest complimentary salsa I've ever had in a restaurant. The ambiance is very old school diner-like and that's probably because it's been in the same place for years and they haven't renovated. It's nothing fancy, but makes for a decent brunch/lunch place (although like I said - there are much nicer/fancier places for Mexican food/Tex mex if that's what you're looking for). The last few times I've gone here the servers have been really nice, so pleased from that standpoint. While I wouldn't overall recommend going out of your way to eat here, if you were craving Tex mex and nearby, I definitely think this place is a reliable and tasty option to satisfy the craving. read more

Great pulled chicken enchiladas! Very underrated and afforadably priced; will be back soon

My boyfriend took me here because he liked it. They have some really good salsa that's pretty spicy. We got the fajitas for two for likeeee $30. It came with our own rice and beans and a plate of pico, cheese, sour cream and guac. Everything was seasoned very well even the pico. I hate when food doesn't have enough salt but they did super good. The fajitas were delicious! will be coming back cause i need to try their tortilla soup. read more

This is our first time here. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food was as delicious. I had the Spanish omelette which comes with potatoes and refried beans. It also comes with homemade corn or flour tortillas. We chose the corn. They were sooo good! We will certainly be back because the lunch menu looks really great. The prices here are very reasonable and the food is generous. read more

Came into town and stopped for lunch on a recommendation. The service was very nice, but a few of us ordered the cheese enchilada lunch special and it was made with velveta or some type of processed cheese. Not good. The chicken tacos were average and the margarita was very little for the price. I rarely give low reviews, but considering there are many choices for this type of food I feel like I would like to know. read more

Great spot! Authentic Mexican food with a bit of a twist. We tried all the tacos and loved the steak ! Great ambience and service was decent! Recommend but they are new.... read more

I'm honestly not surprised by how I felt about this place, but I wanted to try it. With other similar priced and style restaurants around, this one is just not the one to pick. Will you get fed? Sure. Does the food work? I guess. But I got a cheese enchilada and it was like a cheddar cheese? And it was not soft like one would expect. Most of the food I got in my combo was on the blander side. The salsa was nice, so it found it's way onto every part of my plate. The booth seats were cracking and had like holes in them and such. Not for me. read more

You might say this place was a wonderful disappointment. The disappointment was that I was hoping to find that they had all day breakfast so I could get some migas and I wasn't looking for a huge meal because I had leftovers I needed to eat at home for dinner. It was already after 3 p.m. It turned out they stop serving breakfast at 1 p.m. although the lady said I could have gotten some eggs on the side of any meal I ordered. I looked and looked and looked until I found a meal that didn't sound too big and wasn't too expensive, around $8-9. While I was deciding, the server brought me some chips and salsa. The chips were perfect, just the way I like them, light and crispy. The salsa was really flavorful too, obviously homemade and not from a bottle, and not too terribly spicy to suit me. Then she brought me some tea and whatever the heck that tea was it was really delicious. She said it was complimentary. I wasn't sure why, whether it's something they always do in the afternoon or maybe because they made too much so they were giving some away. Or maybe they just liked my lavender hair. Whatever it was it really hit the spot on this hot Texas day. When my food came I was flabbergasted. My small manageable meal was a huge platter of food. It was supposed to be one taco with rice and beans but the portions were very generous. It also included a small bowl of queso in the middle and decent size scoop of shredded lettuce with guacamole on top. Plus some tortillas I didn't see till the end so I wrapped them up to bring home and eat with my leftovers. Not bad for the price. Everything was top quality, freshly-made, perfect texture, an excellent meal. The server was extremely nice and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Plus they had the AC kicked up so it was nice and cool inside. If I had been the kind of person to walk out of a restaurant, however nicely, I probably would have done it at the beginning when I found out I couldn't get the migas. But I don't do that sort of thing, especially after they have brought me a menu, chips and salsa, and a drink. I'm glad I stayed or I never would have found out what a great place is this is. I'll have to tell my daughter who lives nearby to come here if she hasn't been already. And I'll have to try and make it back to try their migas before 1 p.m. on another day. read more

What can I say...when I find a spot that I love that treats me well I'm completely loyal. I've been going to this place since I was a broke college student when they'd give me and my friend free chips and salsa to go after our meal! This is a staple for me. This time I tried something new. I ventured away from my usual para las damas plate and tried the carnitas a la mexicana. I wasn't expecting the cubes of meat as when I think of carnitas I think of the shredded pork style. But it was very good! The meat was incredibly tender. The flavor was great because you got a kick of spice whenever you hit one of the fresh jalapenos. This dish is truly tex-mex perfection. I didn't have what is probably the best thing here...DRINKS!!!! Their margaritas are legendary! Strong, tasty and a perfect match to anything on the menu. But dry January has me ruining the beginning of the year for myself because writing this I can't believe I didn't have just one! I might have to go back and make my January a little drizzly :) read more

I live around the corner and can't believe I've never tried this place. I was having a very serious nacho craving. I'm glad I thought of La Posada. I am also always scouring the city for my next michelada fix. I order one anytime I can. I have to say that this miche was very good! The nachos were also really good, too. I ordered chicken fajita nachos and a HUGE plate arrived. I would say it's easily enough for two people. I guess it should be considering I ordered it from the appetizer section, lol. The service was great, the place itself was clean, and costs are low. I would/will come back for sure! read more

La Posada Mexican Restaurant - Chicken stuffed avocado. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

1. I always get the same thing. I think it's the number 2? The one with the taco, and the chalupa, and the ENCHILADAS. 2. Oh my god. The enchiladas. 3. These are the stickiest, creamiest, gooiest, mouth-feeliest, most gorgeous enchiladas I have ever had. 4. This place smells of fabulosa. That purple cleaner? May be a turn-off for some but this restaurant is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. I like smelling "general cleanliness" scent if I'm eating at some eating place, but that's a Me thing. And when I DO clean my house guess what I want to do..... 5. That's right. Go get enchiladas from LaPosada. PS. Apparently, you can get take-away margaritas during COVID. Small comforts in dark times. However, aging makes one remember that ordering a frozen margarita off the cuff hurts in the morning. Proceed with this new privilege with caution while it lasts, Austinites. read more

I got the enchiladas per word of mouth and other reviews and they were not as show stopping as you'd be led to believe. Weird metallic flavor in the verde sauce and the salsas were just lacking any flavor other than salt. You also will probably end up with gross refried beans instead of the beans you ordered (charro, black) so big time disappointment. Bad rice. This was a "belly filler" so it hit the spot sort of but left MUCH to be desired. read more

Food was great and service is excellent Rather inexpensive by today's standards Quite full afterwards is nap time lol Average price is under 20.00 per person Including drink and reasonable tip read more

DPDATE: A bit of an off day, but not enough to drop a star. Today was somewhat bland, but I could have easily asked for some jalapeño to add to the salsa. They were quite busy with the church crowd. Service was quick and efficient. My personal preference is spicier and it usually is. Next visit I sure all will be fine. UPDATE: I continue to like this medium sized place in a small strip mall. I have been taking a few items to go as well eating in the restaurant. This is a fairly blue collar neighborhood place. This is where you can walk in and often see the same people, at the same time, at the same table. They have a separate party area so as not to disturb other customers during special occasions. Prices are not bad but of course higher than a food truck. The waitstaff has always been nice and the place kept clean. The nice thing for me is that the food is a bit spicier and less fru fru than what is becoming more common now in Austin. Plenty of parking. Not fancy, but a good place for a meal. Previously.... I had a very good experience here. I had to be up very late last night, I have to run around until almost midnight last night, I have to start taxes, so Menudo was the best choice. It was excellent! Steaming hot, very spicy and no sediment. House made corn tortillas and fast and friendly service. Wagging my tail! read more

Super standard mexican food, that being said you can't go wrong. I will say their hot sauce was super duper spicy. Like even for me and i like hot sauce, it was a little overwhelming. Super good. This is the first restaurant in Austin I've been to with prices that are pleasantly priced and you get a large amount of food. This plate i got came with like 5 different things all for 11$. I believe they also have lunch specials. Cheap prices and good abundance of food. read more

My daughter and I wanted to try this place since it is next to her barbershop and my husband gave it good reviews. Now the hot sauce is amazing and so flavorful.. but the rest was just A-ok to me (hence the stars). I had the spinach enchiladas with no cheese or sour cream with the rice and beans.. and my daughter had chicken tacos and rice. Now the spinach is cooked nicely and it was that shredded spinach that you can tell was previously frozen.. The beans had no true flavor and the rice didn't either. I would say over all it is bland food. Now add the hot sauce and some onion and it makes it better. The chicken tacos were okay, but mostly dark meat--which my daughter hates. The rice was okay, but again the grain of the rice was a thicker grain and I don't think had enough spices too it. I wouldn't necessarily come back here .. but maybe if I had no other options or maybe just wanted quac and chips. I am not a drinker but I imagine the drinks are good?! Now customer service-- My waitress was very sweet and she did great service. She had a smile on her face the whole time and made me feel at home. So I am not saying this is a bad place, just not as much flavor as some of the other places I eat at. Try it out and see if you like it. Maybe the meat dishes are where it is at and my veggie perspective is just that :). read more

Being from San Antonio and visiting Austin often see my son and his wonderful wife, I am always looking for good Mexican food. This is the restaurant that beats anything I have found an awesome or North San Antonio. The hot sauce is fantastic the service is off the chart wonderful. It is not a fancy restaurant but the food makes up for anything but someone may find against the restaurant. My wife ordered the Mexican plate and loved it. My son ordered the carne guida plate and could not say enough good things about it. I had the Menudo and a crispy beef taco and it was as good as anything I've ever had in San Antonio. We all had a house margarita which was very good and a large size for the price. The chips and hot sauce that they serve you while waiting for your order or some of the best you'll ever have, if you are alittle shy with heat It's good but it's warm. I will definitely be coming here again on my next trip to All Star read more
