La Posada Restaurant and Tequila Bar

La Posada on Medford Street in Magoun Square serves Mexican and Latin American food with a tequila and mezcal bar. Tacos, birria, and fajitas share the menu with Salvadoran pupusas, empanadas, and ceviche. You can keep dinner to a couple of dishes or order a parrillada of grilled meats and shrimp to share.

Margaritas are a mainstay of the drinks menu, and the patio adds outdoor seating in warmer weather. Reservations are available for dinner, with online ordering if you’d rather take food home. Look beyond the tacos when choosing: shrimp tostones and Salvadoran bread pudding offer a different start and finish. The restaurant also advertises tastings and special events, so check its schedule for the night you’re considering.
