The music they were playing was hip-hop and old school soul. Music that feels good to listen to Ok, now the food. These tacos were bomb - creamy guacamole, well seasoned steak, some kind of cheese at the bottom of the tortilla, and crunchy (but not greasy) chips. Even served with a lime wedge and three types of sauce (some mild, some spicy). I'm glad I made the trip out here and recommend you do too if you can.

The portion size is very generous and easily large enough to share with another person. The service has been fast and friendly every time I've visited. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with bright colors and artwork that reflect the restaurant's cultural heritage. Even the television programming helps create an authentic atmosphere and gives visitors a glimpse into Oaxacan culture. I love that they offer such unique and authentic Oaxacan cuisine right here in Carrick. The tortilla is homemade and perfectly crispy, topped with high quality steak and delicious Oaxacan cheese. My favorite parts are the green salsa, avocado, and grilled green onions. I absolutely love them. If I could change one thing, I would ask for a little more avocado and grilled green onion. I also think some grilled corn, onions, and peppers would complement the dish nicely. The radishes were not my favorite addition because they did not seem to blend with the other flavors as well. The lettuce and beans added a nice touch, and overall the dish was flavorful, satisfying, and memorable. It is wonderful to have such authentic cuisine within walking distance of home. I am already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. The chicken enchiladas with either mole sauce or green salsa also caught my eye.

This is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I lived in New York for about a decade and I loved…read moreordering from a restaurant there that was also based on Oaxacan dishes. They make their chips in-House and I absolutely love them. The queso is a varying level of spice based on the day that you order - that's not something I really care about. Nine times out of 10 it's good. I like their enchiladas, their burritos, their tacos, their quesadillas. The only time I ever got something that I didn't like was only because it was too spicy. I will say, they are not consistent with the level of spice. The Horchata's are amazing.

The food here is just more flavorful, they pack it with care, and the portions for the burrito were ginormous on their burrito deal day (Wednesday). Well worth the bag for your buck.

Came for the first time on a Tuesday. It was the wrong night to come. Their AC was out, it was…read moreclose to 90 that day. Their bar was closed (not sure why). We probably should have left but I really wanted to try their food. I am not "docking" my rating for the environment; this review is purely about the food. Let me start with the negative. The chicken taco was awful. Not sure what they did to the chicken but it tasted like salmon to us. Something about the texture and flavor, honestly, had a "fishy" flavor. Go to the best, the birria taco was excellent. What I missed was a dipping sauce/consume but the melted cheese was excellent. The other taco was a chorizo taco and it was good but not great. Based on the food, alone, it was just 3 stars, nothing wowed me and nothing made me want to return. The service was fine, they brought our food to us, but it was served in styrofoam boxes, as if we were going to take it out, even though we were staying to eat. It was a bit of a nightmare inside. Not only was it hot but there were flies buzzing around and no air was moving. If they had some fans blowing it might have helped. We finished our meal, got outside where it was cooler, and we both said we should have gone to QDOBA.

La Bodega not only had tasty food, but it felt like being back in SoCal for a brief moment. The restaurant itself is not fancy. A few tables, an open grill, a cooler with sodas in glass bottles. As anyone from Southern California will tell you, that's exactly the vibe that announces that there's good authentic food around. I saw other reviews recommending their birria, and I'm joining them. It's fantastic. I ordered the quesobirria pizza. It's pretty big, definitely for sharing or saving for leftovers. Essentially it's a giant quesadilla filled with the birria fixings: barbacoa beef, onions, cheese, and consume for dipping. It's delicious. It's not super spicy, so throw in some Cholula if you want to kick it up. Pair it with a Mexican Coke or Jarrisco, and you will roll out very very happy.

The chips and queso were delicious- we really enjoyed that and felt it was a good price. We then split 4 different tacos to sample many of their options. The beef shoulder and pork butt were good but could use more flavor. The chicken thigh was a bit clunky feeling and dry, in my opinion. Our favorite taco was the chorizo taco. It was very flavorful! I must say, I appreciate how full the tacos are and the corn tortillas were surprisingly tasty! I would come again but only for the chips and queso, maybe a chorizo taco, and am very curious about their burritos- specifically the brunch themed ones. The setting is very laid back which is nice and easy. You order at the counter and have a seat in their back room where they bring the food to you. The stand for getting hot sauce and free water was convenient. Everything came out very quickly which is another bonus! Overall not a bad experience, I would try again but some different menu items.

The ambiance isn't anything too crazy, but they kinda expanded the area a bit I think. I got to try their mushroom quesadilla and chicken burrito as well as horchata. The quesadilla was probably my favorite meal. Huge portion for the price, lots of tasty and seasoned mushrooms, not too oily, loads of cheese, and an awesome creamy sauce on the side. So good. The burrito was also great. And, also huge. Great deals at this place. Tons of rice and a good amount of beans and other fixings. The meat was a little chewy, but not bad. The horchata was a bit disappointing. Had a sort of strange aftertaste. They also had a hibiscus drink that my buddy let me try, and it was pretty refreshing but also has that weird aftertaste. All in all, a very good place! I'd come here for takeout again for sure. Looking forward to it!
