This Week's Pick: It's Family Fare at La Posada

With so many different options, choosing which restaurant to eat at in town is never easy. Luckily for you, each week, Arlington Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here’s this week’s choice:

– Less than a year old, this has already built up a loyal following for its authentic Mexican dishes at reasonable prices. Owner Magdalena Pizarro and her daughter, Fabiola Castro, run the dining room, while Castro’s husband, German Castro, and his brother, Victor, take control in the kitchen. La Posada has everything you’d expect at a traditional Mexican restaurant – the family hails from Mexico – and a few specialties, including a Mexican meatball soup, cactus salad and Aguacate, a sauce with avocado and jalapenos. The Castros can also accommodate requests such as flour- or gluten-free, and the restaurant is BYOB. 1312 Massachusetts Ave. 781-316-8300. Open daily for lunch and dinner, in addition to weekend brunch. Prices: $.
