Mexican Post Restaurant & Bar

Have a drink and leave. I can't imagine why anyone who has eaten here would ever come for round two. There are so many amazing Mexican restaurants in the Phila area, there is no reason to settle for Mexican Post. The Tortilla soup looked and tasted like someone put tortillas and water in a blender and poured it in a dish. The black bean soup was thick and flavorless. The "snapper" tasted like it was previously frozen and was topped with what tasted like jarred salsa. The Veggie salad tasted pretty good going down, but both my partner and I suffered from stomach aches the rest of the night. If you want GOOD Mexican food, try Las Cazuelas at 4th and Girard or one of the many authentic taquerias near the Italian market. Tamarindos in Blue Bell has FREE awesome margaritas, savory soups, creative entrees, and a whole fresh grilled snapper encrusted in garlic that puts Mexican Post's snapper to shame.

In short, save your money....or go to Taco Bell; there's not really that much difference.…

Extra Charge on Credit Card. Met some friends at Mexican Post. The margaritas were excellent and the nachos were good (although very small) afterwards saw an extra 20$ charged to my credit card. I still had the receipt, and the first charge added up perfectly including tip which I had documented on both receipts, however there was an additional $20 even charge. Very obvious rip off. Called amex and they took it off. Thankyou amex. I don't take offense to bad service or even if a dish is done improper - every restaurant has bad days - but to try BLATENTLY rip me off? Thats where I draw the line. Won't be back there. Sorry.…

Great happy hour!. My friend invited me to the happy hour at Mexican Post and I'm so glad I came! The snacks are small-sized meals that are $1.25 so even if you had to get several of them, you'd still be paying less than $5! Margaritas by the glass or pitcher in varieties of flavors (we got the mango). The bartender was friendly and service was quick and efficient. Happy hour is 4:30-6:30 Monday through Friday so if you get a chance to go, don't miss out!…

Overpriced. I thought this place was very expensive for the quality. The atmosphere was nice but the actual food was lacking. The rice was lacking in flavor. I have had much better authentic Mexican food for about half the price.

Overall: It is OK, but don't expect anything fantastic.…
