Valentines Dinner was chaotic and we’re packed in like sardines barely being able to squeeze between tables to exit without putting our butts into someone else’s table. I don’t think the potatoes bravas are fried at all, I would say boiled and roasted maybe… bread was stale. Our other dishes were okay, but no interest in coming back. When you walk into this place you are hit with paella aroma, but unpleasant paella aroma…

My friends and I went for dinner on Friday. The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately the food and service were very disappointing. The portions were small, the food tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly made.
The waitress didn’t seem familiar with the menu and couldn’t answer our questions or help us with recommendations.
When the main dishes arrived, the portions were still very small, and the taste was not good. Because of the overall experience, we ended up leaving in less than 30 minutes. Sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant.

We had the meat balls and a chorizo dish. Both were delicious!! But the portions were pretty small for the price. Drinks were great and the service was lightning fast. Im in the area pretty often so ill have to check it out again as this was a quick stop, so maybe didnt get the full feel of it.

Firstly rude male host announces we have ‘to get out’ in 90 minutes, tasteless small portions and seasonless paella-had to ask for salt pepper and hot sauce. Rooms are dingy and bland. Hard pass on this one.

Food was so delicious, I love the atmosphere. Decoration was really good, I kept check around me.
Paella was so good. Loved the sea food.
Only thing I got the white wine. I don’t like to put ice on it. So it was very warm for me. I recommend that keep the bottles more colder fridge. I didn't enjoy that at all which the taste was good but I prefer cold.
Overall it was good experience.

The food is bland overpriced and they give you the same potatoes with everything. I’m not one to complain but the food was god awful. Our table was hungry and nobody wanted to finish the food but if you want to see for yourself by all means go for it, you’ve been warned.

Went to Bodega on Main for my birthday and it was incredible. We tried so many dishes, pan con tomate, El Caesar, patatas bravas, champiñones, berenjenas con miel, montaditos de lomo, pincho moruno, and chuletillas de cordero, and every single one was packed with flavour. The sangria and Lamento cocktails were unreal and paired perfectly with the food.
The atmosphere was warm and lively, the service was amazing, and the whole night felt so special. Easily one of the best tapas spots in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

Everything we ordered was delicious! Seating was comfortable. Music was low enough that we could talk.

Been to Bodega on Main for a few visits. Tried their happy hour (3pm-6pm daily, 10pm to late Sunday-Thursday). Happy hour consists of 9 items and a couple of drinks. Service was okay but had to ask for water multiple times.
- La hora del vermut ($10.00 HH) - doesn’t beat any house vermouths in Spain
- Ensalada mixta ($12.00 HH) - plain
- Patatas bravas ($8.00 HH) - standard
- Arroz espanol ($14.00 HH) - seafood rice pilaf (mini paella) was bland
- Jamon serrano ($14.00 HH) - paper thin slices
- Calamares fritos ($15.00 HH) - serviceable
- Montaditos de lomo ($13.00 HH) - two pieces of pork on bread. Not what we were expecting
- Pollo frito ($12.00 HH) - overcooked wings (3)
- Churros ($11.00 HH) - lacked a satisfying bite. Chocolate sauce had an odd after taste
Excellent happy hour, tried 2 kinds of paella 😋
