La Bodega - BRONX

Hey sexy taco!!! Stumbled across this place looking through yelp for some Mexican food. Omg!!! What a great spot! One guy was working in there, bartendering, serving, bussing... all of that with a great attitude and fast service! Just wow I am one of those picky people who ain't happy with many things. This little restaurant hit the spot! Great job Antonio!!!

Okay so this place is very interesting I'm not going to give this a crazy detailed review and just going to do the pros and cons: Pros: if you want a funky place to eat this is definitely a great place to be there's all types of s on the walls the bathroom is amazingly decorated with cereal boxes it's just a really funky get up They have a good bar selection and bar seating The food portions are amazing especially by the appetizers they not really appetizers. We had the nachos and the spinach artichoke dip those are both really good and they were the only thing that we had and we were full and there were three of us. The music they played was amazing you will always be bumping to something they just have a great playlist. They have outdoor seating which was amazing specially on nice days or we just need some air with your food Cons: I hate their drink menu. I personally feel like they drink menu is just too much and honestly I don't like the flavors but they do have a bar a big one so you can always just ask for whatever drink that you like to drink which is what I would recommend. The pricing for food is a little outrageous there should be no reason why an appetizer cost just as much as a main dish but given the portions that they give you I do slightly understand that The couches in the booth section are destroyed and it's just kind of nasty to be sitting on a couch with holes and veins showing that they're tearing apart I feel like that needs to be fixed. This service wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. We didn't just have one waiter which is not necessarily a bad thing but when none of them are on the same page it just makes things look worse. Overall our servers were very nice and very attentative to us even if they didn't know what was happening

After walking around Harlem for a while looking for a place that had space at the bar I ran across this place.......was somewhat hesitant.....let 's be honest just the name of the place sounds cornballish.....but after looking over the outside menus and place seem to have a nice crowd and still room for one more I went in....... I seated myself at the bar and I was attended to right away......I ordered a Victoria Secret ........it was really nice to see the bartender take his time to make the perfect drink. The drink itself was nice light and refreshing........I ordered the Guac and Chips........nothing over the top.....but was a very large portion and you could tell it was made fresh....I ran into a friend while there and he ordered the mac and cheese.....and a order of tacos the sexy cow .......so when the food arrived we both took a fork ......so while he love the mac and cheese it is a no for me......it tasted like boxed mac and cheese......but then again I grew up in the south and have high expectations for mac and cheese........the tacos are hard shell and were ok.....nothing more nothing less.....and the more you drink they hit the spot...... So all in all.....Yes I will go back......drinks are good and they have a full bar......the wait staff is awesome......and it is a nice vibe.......now the food I had was nothing special but I have NO complaints about it.....I would go back for the chill atmosphere and once again the good drinks........this is a great after work spot .

I think this will be my spot!!!! I was drawn to this place for my need to have a few beverages of the Mexican sort, so this will be more of a drinking review rather than a food review. Upon entering the restaurant, I thought this place would be great or a hot a mess. I am so glad that it was the former rather than the later. The bar seems like a cool place to hang out with some friends or to make some new ones (I am new to the area). The people with whom I spoke to were very nice (perhaps, a couple were a little too nice). Athena, the bartender, was really great/energetic and you can tell that she knows how to get the party started. She always made sure that I had a full beverage, and she even got me a welcome to the 'hood shot. I had a minor issue with the chips and pico salsa that I ordered. I found the salsa was a little bland. Like I said, this was a minor issue and definitely will not deter me from returning. Hell, I may go there tonight for a few drinks. This definitely is a place where you will go for one or two drinks but end up staying for a few hours.

This was one of our stops in our night of debauchery with classmates. We were all pretty hungry after the previous stop, and one person in our group suggested this place. I was not going to say no to tacos, so here we came. It was a few blocks of walking from where we were, which served well in sobering up a bit. When we got here, I noticed it was busy, and I was not sure they could accommodate us as were were a party of 10+. But alas, they worked their magic, and we were seated in short order. I ordered some chicken and beef tacos. My classmates ordered a variety of plates, some of which can be seen in my photos. The wait for the food was long, but was expected as we did come in a large group spur of the moment. Once we got our food, we were delighted at how good it was. My tacos were delicious, and much needed after having the two potent drinks from the prior establishment. My classmates were happy with their plates, and I had the pleasure of trying some of them out. Once we were done, we got the check and coordinated the payment (thank goodness for Venmo). We liked this place, and we're appreciative that they accommodated us where other establishments wouldn't have. Thanks for the great service!
