The molcajete con camarones.

Great food, great service. We had the chicharrón de res and it was good. Based on other reviews I thought it would be better. The octopus was amazing and quite a bit of food for one person, and I'm a big eater, a great plate to share with someone. The drinks were rop notch. Ambiance was awesome, music a little loud, but maybe I'm just getting old...‍ I'd definitely go back. Great place to take someone for a nice evening out.

The octopus was the best I've had, tasty and tender. It came with rice and potatoes which were forgettable. My partner got the rib eye and was cooked perfectly but some parts were chewy. Service was top notch and great ambiance. P.S. The free chips are hard and tasteless...avoid!

Chicharonnes De Ribeye  @phidingthefam

When you combine good food and good service, you have a great place. Bodega 8 may have been my favorite restaurant thus far on my Mexicali tour. The atmosphere here was very family friendly, while offering a good area of business meetings as well. The restaurant sat us quickly and got straight to the drinks, delicious! So there was 3 of us and we ordered the tortilla soup, the ribeye chicharron, pulpo tacos, kalifornia II taco & cachanilla taco! So when I say everything was good, it was. Each item came out as if they were celebrities and they tasted as if they were competing for best taste! Check out the photos below or on Instagram @phidingthefam

Don't hesitate - just go to Bodega 8! It has a lovely interior with attentive and professional staff, delightful cocktails, and delectable food. We'll eat here whenever we're in Mexicali.

Grilled octopus was divine!

What an amazing find in Mexicali! We were staying overnight in Mexicali as a midpoint between Puerto Peñasco and Los Angeles. After arriving, hungry and tired, we looked for a place to have a good meal. While there are many restaurants in that area, Bodega 8 caught my eye because of their eclectic food. And, let me tell you, they did not disappoint! We had the grilled octopus which was divinely tender, the rib eye perfectly cooked, grilled chicken, artichokes and a beautiful salad. All of the food was exceptional but even more so was the incredible service we received from Victor. I told my husband I will forever drive through Mexicali to get to Puerto Peñasco, even though there are other routes, just so I can dine at Bodega 8 again! If you find yourself in Mexicali, you must check it out!

Ambiance and servuce was really good. Ordered salmon well done, good taste and roasted veggies are good.

Ribeye (600 gramos) con papas y frijoles
Analilian F.

La comida es muy buena al igual que la atención de parte de todo el personal. Desde que llegamos, todas las personas muy atentas en todo momento. Nos recomendaron la bebida del día que estuvo excelente. La comida estuvo fenomenal. Excelente sabor en su comida y lo que más me sorprendió fue la coliflor. Definitivamente volveré a este lugar en mi próxima visita a mexicali.

chips n salsa

Bodega 8 has great attentive staff. The ambient is well suited for a fun dinner with friends of a semi formal dinner with that special someone. The food is delicious. Recommend the artichoke/alcachofa appetizer. They start you out with totopos and salsa. The salsa was good but lacked spiciness or flavor for my liking. Dinner for three, three drinks, 1 app and 1 dessert we spent approximately $95. Pricey for mex but it was good.

Wow, this restaurant is one of the few higher end ones in this plaza with the Fairfield Inn and Holiday Express. I heard about the deconstructed Cobb salad from a colleague but didn't get a chance to order that because I had my eyes on the Sinaloa style Aguachile and the Banados Tacos (barbacoa). Both were delicious!!! I got them as take out and was super happy with my decision. The Aguachile was loaded with fresh raw shrimp and the tacos were so flavorful. Together, I spent just about $20USD - which is pretty cheap compared to the same items ordered in the US. The front hostess was very kind and got me an English menu after she saw me looking at a Spanish one that I grabbed myself. Will definitely be back to try other dishes :D

filet mignon  - medium well ...
Ruby G.

I loved it and I ate it with A1 sauce . They offer all kinds of hot sauce . You can't suggest music just FYI .. The tostadas "free " are nasty . I've tasted better . Basically if you want to get drunk fast the drinks are strong here .

Margarita de tamarindo!!

See all
