La Posada (CLOSED)

I've only every ordered out from this place, but for $20 I basically eat for a day and a half. The Veg. Burrito is tops.

Food here is tasty for authentic Mexican. I had the steak burrito which was good. However, ordering the food was a difficult task. The person over the phone only spoke a little English, and I had to call twice before they got my address right. I think this place would be better for takeout, but I will try someplace else next time for delivery.

First off, I need to say that this isn't a "poverty stricken" neighborhood, That's just ridiculous. It isn't the UES but few places are. As far as the restaurant, it is some of the best hispanic food you will ever have! The food is delicious and cheap. When they say it's a gigantic burrito, they aren't kidding. I haven't been able to finish a whole one in one sitting yet. They generally last me at least two meals. The only bad thing about the place is it's hard to place an order if you don't speak Spanish. They will eventually find someone who speaks English to take your order but be prepared to wait on the phone. Oh, but it's so worth the wait!

Looking at the cheap lighting inside and unassuming presence in this poverty stricken neighborhood, you'd never guess that you could find such authentic and well-prepared Mexican food in New York. Certainly, Well, at least, I never thought that I'd like a chicken taco this much - I wasn't even hungry when I went there last night. And when they brought the taco, all I thought was, hey, where's the cheese, salad, rice, beans, guacamole that usually come in it? But the quality of the ingredients, the preparation, the freshness, the minimalistic, the Zen, ah, I got to go back again today!!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan, amazing Mexican food- really cheap! Even my Mexican friends think it's authentic. Spicy really means spicy here. Pollo en chipotle is great, as are the quesadillas, and the salsa. Go here, and go often! Service can be hit or miss, but the food is always great.
