La Bodega Tapas - Pismo Beach

Extremely overpriced and definitely has nothing to do with Tapas or Spanish food!

I parked here while the restaurant was closed for July 4th. The parking lot was clean. There are about 10 spaces, one is designated for handicapped parking.

If you’re looking for an authentic European style tapas experience with welcoming staff this is not your spot.

Excellent food and drinks! Great service!

We came for brunch on a Sunday. We had not been before but reviews said it was a good choice. We were very very disappointed. We ordered the bacon flight which came out both burned and soggy? We didn’t taste any flavors and it even tasted bland. I ordered the carnitas hangover. The guacamole on top was brown and my hash brown potatoes in the dish were not crunchy and tasted like day old hash browns I took out of my fridge. We will not be back and would not recommend dining here, at least for brunch.

My wife and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary and made a very spontaneous deciaion to renew our vows in Pismo. Despite being VERY busy (8k ppl visiting for an awesome car show) the staff squeezed us in as a walk in party. Our server, Bradford, was simply delightful. His recommendations were perfectly spot on. And the menu, my goodness, the amount of thought the chef puts into her menu is simply astounding. We haven't had a better fine dining experience in California. We will certainly be back!

There could have been an uncomfortable incident with another bar patron, but it was handled exquisitely. We thought thank you, and continued with our meal. The owner covered our meal when we tried to pay, it was pure kindness and we appreciated it. We will be back, by the way order whatever the staff recommends.

This is a regular stop when visiting my son at Cal Poly. The food is some of the best we have tasted. The owners (husband and wife) clearly enjoy this place and seem to love their jobs. Food is fresh and usually taken from the farm that morning.

I am a young woman who was parked here yesterday April 12, 2024, for roughly 40 seconds alongside my best friend who I had not seen in weeks, taking one last look at the company website to get an idea of what specifically to order, since i was hoping to be able to take a drink and/or appetizer to go due to a tight schedule and said surprise visit, but i was not sure they offered a togo service. Before i was even able to turn off my car an older gentleman with glasses approached my vehicle, KNOCKED on my window even though i have no tint so he could’ve just spoken to me, and told me to leave from the parking lot immediately as it was “for customers only”. 40 seconds! My engine was still running even! Now when i told him i was simply confirming the menu via online he THEN proceeded to ask me with a falsified attitude if i would like him to bring me a menu from inside, instead of starting our interaction with an attempt to confirm why i had came all the way down there in the first place! I told him absolutely not, i will not be coming back here for service as horrible as such! I feel the vehicle i was in, being an older 1993 cutlass, which was a prime in its original form but had obvious wear and tear at this day and age, as well as my alternative style of dressing led to this man stereotyping and the proceeding to discriminate against me today. I am very hurt to know people are still so rude nowadays and also hindered at the fact i can no longer enjoy a meal/drink here, as they do not decline me or my buddies service when i am more properly dressed up, or when i arrive alongside my partner in his more pristine vehicle. I will not be returning here as i do not know this man’s position within the company, and refuse to be treated as less than a person by a respectfully grown man. Very dissatisfied with the second hand embarrassment of having to justify ourselves to him, how he spoke to me, and especially for us being two Mexican American women who were refused service before even entering a building. I hope you take up these issues with your staff to avoid making more customers uncomfortable in the future, possibly such as implementing an anti discrimination policy or something of the sort. or at least hiring/training tolerable staff members. Thank you!
