Amazing menu and food. The Ropa Vieja was the best I’ve tasted. Keep up the amazing job.
I am a native New Yorker, reminds me of home!!
As many times as I have been to NY, this place soothes my taste for bodega food! Healthy portions, great cocktails and the service is awesome. (She knew I couldn’t finish that chopped cheese and brought me a togo box straight up!)
To the family that sat down after us, I was dead serious about the chopped cheese and Cuban sandwiches!

The portions are generous, and diners often share dishes. The food is praised for its authenticity, with highlights including the Cubano sandwich, which is described as delicious from the first bite to the end. The Yucas and Parcha (passion fruit) juice also stand out. Customers appreciate the authentic Colombian, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican flavors, with maduros (sweet plantains), bacalao fritters, and pollo guisado receiving particular praise. The restaurant is extremely affordable, with the Chuleta can can and Bandeja paisa plates being standout menu items. Visitors mention the real mix of Latin cuisines, satisfying every craving. The big Cubano is noted for its size and flavor, and the pernil is cooked perfectly, making it a great option for chilly days. The food is flavorful, hot, and filling, often too much to finish. Customers enjoy the large drinks and friendly staff, although the space can get crowded during peak hours. Overall, La Bodega is a recommended destination for those seeking authentic and affordable Latin cuisine in a lively, cozy setting.
