Finally found a late night spot with fresh smoothies! First we tried the Peach Cobbler and Tropical Smoothies - both were so YUM. I'm super particular about empanadas. Hate when they are too doughy and with just a little filling. Living up to thier name, this bodega's empanadas absolutely DELIGHTFUL. Light crispy shell hugging generous portion of chicken and cheese inside.....and then the chimi sauce. Absolute banger! They are gonna know me by name.... read more

So I'm pretty excited to finally find a good Dominican spot in LA! Y'all gotta try this joint, it's a ghost kitchen. The Bodega Delights staff was so amazing and warm, really made me feel like I was back east. I purchased beef cheese empanada, beef chimi, mangu con los tres golpes, morir soñando, green açaí bowl. When I say everything was good, I mean just that!! That empanada reminded me of something my abuela would make and that mangu just tasted like HOME. Wow, I'm so grateful for supporting this team and simply being able to have good Dominican food nearby. Oh and the chimi was legit! Come on by and support, I can tell you it's worth it. read more

Was so excited when I saw this near my adventure yesterday. Plenty of street parking but make sure you don't block anyone's gate! Upon walking up I realized it's a ghost kitchen/multi-kitchen situation so you actually order online. The service was quick and the people working were very kind and sweet. There's a little table so we sat out front to eat. Very cute hanging lights, but the storm messed up the lil patio covering. We ordered the: Chicken and cheese empanada: okay, crispy wrapper that's reminiscent of a wonton wrapper. the best part was oddly the mozzerella, great cheese pull, but seemed to be concentrated in one corner Chimi sauce: okay Chop Cheese: was okay, ingredients were fresh, was looking for a bit more flavor Overall it was only okay, but I would like to try a couple more things for another review read more

Amazing food! I've tried a few things off the menu and I haven't been disappointed. You can tell they cook with their heart. Super friendly and fast. Also flan empanada!? Amazing! read more

Bodega Delights - Flan empanada - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - North Hollywood, California

The late night munchies?!?! This is the place to grab you a few things. Located in a shared kitchen with multiple businesses in North Hollywood. Ordered three things from their menu to try out: 1. Dragonfruit Smoothie, made with almond milk, banana, strawberries, and agave. I love the stunning purple/reddish color it gives. It was literally so refreshing to have after a dance class. 2. 3 empanada special (2x chicken & cheese, 1x cheese), honestly I love how crispy and crunchy the texture of it, never really had crispy ones like these. The chicken & cheese had flavor and a perfect combo of protein with some creaminess and the cheese one by itself tastes yummy. These pair perfectly with the chimi sauce to give it the ooomph!!! 3. Chicken Yaroa Fries, I'm so big on potato's are those extra carbs hahah. Presentation wise and how it looks, it doesn't look appetizing because each element contains a similar color palette but it was tasty and has a burst of flavors. the chicken was cook nicely and was tender with each bite. So creamy from the cheese and the chimi sauce. Definitely, a good option to try and is a comfort food. I just felt really good eating it. Only come here if you want to eat delicious food that's comforting and full of flavor! Definitely recommend!!! P.S. You order with their QR Code/ on their app and pick it up when it's ready! read more

This food is fantastic, and I can't wait to come back. I'll admit I didn't get to try food from the Dominican bodegas when I visited New York, so I felt like I finally got the chance coming here. What an awesome addition to my neighborhood! This is a little ghost kitchen style spot in a relatively empty building (there are a couple other restaurants here too, each with their own little space). You basically either order online or walk up and order at the door. I got to talk to the owner and he was super friendly and helpful while we figured out what to try. I wanted to get a bit of all of the best stuff while we were there, and I was not disappointed...we tried the mangu con Los tres gulpes, the classic chop cheese sandwich, and three empanadas. Everything was phenomenal, and the empanadas in particular were standouts for us - I'm still dreaming about the beef and cheese. One of my favorite recent finds and can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

Ive gone twice and really enjoyed the food I have tried. Sandwiches are on point. Cant get a chopped cheese no where. So they really come through with that Dominican flavor and NY style food. But the Flan empanada is a banger must try if they got it. read more

Bodega Delights - Flan empanada - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Crispy empanada! The fillings are pretty solid and would say they really make it affordable. $5 an empanada seems like a bit to most but it is packed, but I do wish they were smaller & priced less so that you can pick from the different options. Eating a whole empanada of chicken is good but you get fomo . For someone who gets full quickly, the commitment is hard . I tried the cheese, chicken, and beef and sauce went well. read more

The place is great! We had the beef empanada and cheese and beef empanadas! Delicious. The beef was amazingly seasoned and the cheese was nicely melted! We also ordered a chopped cheese and chimi burger! We were not disappointed! Definitely place everyone must try and keep coming! Everything we had was chef's kiss! To top this delightful cuisine, we had kimalito de coco. The most delicious coconut creamy icy. The owners are super friendly and provided such excellent customer service! We will be coming back soon! read more

Do not sleep on this spot!! The menu offers a diverse and unique selection, especially for the area it's located in. The online ordering platform was super easy to use, highly recommend going straight through their website to avoid any extra rideshare/delivery app fees. I popped over as soon as I got confirmation that my order was ready, and Justin - with the most attentive attitude and kind personality - welcomed me to the spot and was equally excited for me to try the food as I was. From what I understand, it is pickup/delivery only, but that doesn't stand to take away from the awesome atmosphere radiating from the kitchen. Plus, there's temporary parking available out front I will absolutely be going back! There are so many dope menu offerings to try - I got the Chopped Cheese - the sandwich was incredible, and was as long as my entire forearm 10/10 read more

I pulled up to get something else and saw this on the way...I completely changed my dinner plans lol. This was Soo fire and I had it two nights in a row. Juicy burger full of flavor...best empanadas I've ever had. The flavor and crisp...Flan panadas...bro...big brain moment. Love the flavor of flan but never like the texture...flanpanada saves the day. Owner is super friendly and down to earth hard working brotha. Give it a try. Lots of options, smithies too. read more

I went to an event that was catered by this place. And I must say, it was quite tasty. Their sandwiches were outstanding. The meat drenched with flavors did not disappoint. Regardless on if you're a vegetarian or love meat. They had it all. Also the empanadas, can we say yum. Everything was full of flavors and was a big hit. And the lemonade, perfect combo for everything. Now that I know about this place, it's time for a proper visit.... read more

Absolute amazing find - once you find it. Don't let the industrial warehouse exterior scare you off, because the newly renovated inside contains some of the best empanadas and chop chee in the west! And don't pass up the coconut ice for dessert. Big thumbs up to proprietor Justin and his team. read more

Bodega delights is located inside a ghost kitchen building/hall, and you place your order ahead online. The service is pretty quick and efficient with the quoted time as well. I ordered the 3 empanadas combo: 2 beef with cheese and 1 chicken with cheese, a side of chimi sauce and the chocolate peanut butter smoothie. It was my first time trying the chicken empanada and let me tell you, I really enjoyed it, the flavors of the chicken along with the cheese and sauce were soo good! I also enjoyed my beef empanadas but I indulged more in the chicken flavored one. The smoothie is always top notch, it's satisfying and my fav flavors combined make it my ultimate favorite smoothie! There is plenty of parking along the business area and inside parking lot as well. They also offer to bring your food to your car if you choose this option. I always like to walk in and grab my food, the owner is so nice and very welcoming as well. read more

Best Dominican food outside NYC. Owners are great peoples and it comes through on the food. Highly recommended, the Chimi was just like the best in NYC, the chicken and empanadas are also award winning! Will be coming back often. Finally a good option on the west coast! read more

I adore this place! I order regularly even though it's far af and delivery often takes 1hr. So thankful to have a taste of home out here! The empanadas are fire (chicken and cheese in particular), the tres golpes is amazing! My only ask is that they add Turkey or Chicken salami because LA has a lot of ethnicities that don't consume pork, but would love everything else about this place. Add some white rice (hecho bien!!) red beans (not slimed from a can like other Dominican spots) and Dominican cake and they can have my entire paycheck! read more

We had tickets to the Lonny Chapman theater this afternoon and were seeking a meal with three main requirements: close to the theater, quick turnaround, and delicious flavors. Winner, winner, empanada dinner!! Around the corner from the venue, fast and friendly service, and amazing food. We ordered the 6 empanada deal (4 chicken and cheese, 1 beef and cheese, 1 chicken for us) and were so happy with our choices. The fillings are succulent and savory and the dough is thin and crispy. We also tried the smoothies. The green one did not taste green. It was divine and super healthy. My choice was the mango and it was a thick rich milk shake like experience which pleased me greatly. It is a ghost kitchen situation located in a very clean building with other food purveyors. There are 3 covered outdoor tables in the parking lot, which we used, but it's not a picturesque setting. However, that was not on my list of mandates. This is about fresh amazing food earning five stars. I know we'll go back and I look forward to trying other bodega delights from the menu. read more

First time here. One building with multiple kitchen locations. Parking is a small inside, outside the gate, and several parking spaces. I ordered the empanadas. I had a beef and chicken. I preferred the beef since I thought it was full of flavor and tightly packed. I also had a tropical smoothie, which was done as I waited for my food to finish cooking. The smoothie was just right, drinkable, smooth, not watery but thick. The overall experience and being able to talk to Justin were amazing. He explained a little bit of New York. He also mentioned that he does local deliveries when ordering directly through bodegadelights.com. I will be returning. read more

Bodega Delights is an absolute gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and genuinely authentic. The menu has so much variety that it's hard to pick just one favorite. We ordered the empanadas, and los Tres Golpes bowl in the photo perfectly crispy fried cheese, ripe avocado, and eggs cooked just right. Every bite hit the spot. The morir soñando drinks were refreshing too, especially paired with the meal on a sunny day outdoors. Justin made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, kind, and clearly takes pride in the food. His cooking skills are superb the kind of quality that keeps you coming back. read more

This place is a ghost kitchen so bear in mind it's essentially a to-go option. You can play your order directly from their website from a choice of sandwiches, empanadas and various drinks - including smoothies. I had the beef empanada, chicken empanada and mango smoothie. Wife has the beef empanada and fries. We enjoyed all but the beef empanadas was the clear winner. I appreciate the ratio of dough to meat. Was really more won ton wrapper than the usual thick dough. We placed our order online, got a text when it was ready, parked outside the ghost kitchen and the directions were clear in where to go inside the building. Arrived at door K11 and the owner was there to provide us our order. He was very kind and grateful for our patronage. In addition to our food, he provided us a Thank you card with a promo code for a future order and a free coconut bite - which was delicious. All in all, a lovely place for some good food, good service and easy process. read more

Discovered this place through a Yelp Elite event and have been meaning to come back. The empanadas were delicious but decided to try the sandwiches this time. You have to place your orders online via the site or Yelp, cheaper through the site! I was buying groceries at Amazon Fresh and placed my order when I got there. Got the two chicken sandwiches - the chicken chimi and the chicken chop cheese and french fries. Both sandwiches were really good but I think I prefer my sandwich without cheese. Hopefully they can move out of this area - just a walk up to pick up your food - and into a full on restaurant soon! Will come back for more yummy food! read more

Bodega Delights is so refreshing and comforting. We had a dragonfruit smoothie which was such a refreshing taste. It was not over powering in sweetness and had just the right amount of all its ingredients. The empanadas (beef and chicken/cheese) were remarkably light and savory. This take on the Dominican cuisine was so great. The bread had a great crispy and flake as well as the meat was seasoned to perfection. I will be returning for more orders. The Mangu and Iced café Con Leche look like number one sellers!! Thank you so much for the amazing food & I will see you soon! read more

Hands down the best!!! If you haven't tried it, you need too, you won't be disappointed at all! It's sad that right when I'm about to move back home to NY, I would've been a regular customer! The beef empanada was cooked to perfection. The ground beef was seasoned so damn well!!! All I had to do was wait 4-5 minutes to get it done because I ordered it right when I got there to pick up my Tres Golpes! I was speaking with the owner and it was good to speak to someone who's from my same country and hometown. It felt "home"! Really nice and humble man and I wish him and his wife the best of luck in their future endeavors! I'll probably be passing by again before I go back to NY! read more

Getting this little slice of the East Coast has been amazing. The food here definitely makes me want to go visit NYC ASAP. Everything I had here I have loved. I've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes all in the same day! I think my favorite things at the moment are the beef and cheese empanadas and the chimi. The staff here is incredible as well. They are always friendly and always happy to have a chat. I just wish this was an actual sit down restaurant! Hopefully it will be soon! read more

When you drive up, you might be confused because they're located in an industrial part of NOHO, but the food makes it worth it to drive that way everytime. I got their chopped cheese sandwich with chicken and it was just like the ones I had in NY. The best part though is their drink: Morir Sonando. This drink has the perfect blend of citrus and cream--definitely a must try if you go. read more

This "Kitchen" is located on Satsuma Avenue which turned out to be down an "alley" where several businesses/eateries are located, I.e., restaurants, furniture remodeling, etc. We found Bodega Delights based on a card we received from Dominican Hair Salon (another excellent business), also in North Hollywood. We met Evelyn and her son, Justin, Jr. As a Dominican, if I go to a Dominican restaurant, I order the most basic of items such as mangu (if you cannot handle the basics, you have no business venturing into something more diverse) which is boiled/crushed green plantains with sautéed red onions, and 2 fried sunny-side up eggs, and avocado (w/o the fried cheese and sausage aka Los Tres Golpes) because I do not want my cholesterol to rise), and our National drink Morir Soñando made w/orange juice, condensed milk, lemon, etc and a lot of ice. OMG!! Everything was wonderful!! Evelyn, generously, gave us her family recipe flan. It was made with the right amount of sugar. We also ordered a chicken and a beef pastelito (empanadas to non-Dominicans). Delicious!! Evelyn and family are the owners of this business. They were very friendly, warm and generous (typical for us Dominicans). In the near future, they will have a formal restaurant, and I am so looking forward to this. I HIGHLY recommend this eaterie! read more

Late night empanadas, freshly made to order! The owner was friendly and came out to greet us. The best savory and crunchy empanadas I've had! Don't be off-put by the location: It's in a warehouse area with a gate outside inside of a collective building. read more

Visiting from out of town. Got the chop cheese and the burger sandwich. Soooo good! Huge sandwiches, great price. Interesting way to pick up because it is a commissary kitchen but we talked to the chef and he was super nice. My boyfriend is staying in the area and will definitely be back! read more

We ordered two chopped cheeses and two empanadas. Wow! This food took me back home. As a transplant from NY, this was as authentic as you can get out here but also cleaner? The empanadas were packed with flavor but not greasy. The chopped cheeses were amazing and also didn't feel gross with a ton of oil. We also ordered two Morir Sonando's and WOW. (Might have given my Dominican wife a run for her money with that one) The service was even better. Justin was really polite and patient. He was attentive and just an all around pleasant person. We will definitely be back! read more

The food is delicious. I got a Groupon that I had to use in one go, but I was not prepared for that. The guy that helped me was super patient. He helped to fill the rest of my order to total $100. The food was great, fresh, and hot. I ordered a drink as well, and it was fire. I will be back for sure. read more

Bodega Delights - Chicken & Tostones Bowl (Fried Green Plantains w/ Boneless Fried Chicken) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - North Hollywood, California

got the chopped cheese today and loved every bite. definitely getting another one soon!

Ordered through uber eats and I will be back in person to try more! I ordered their Chicken Yaroa fries. They were very filling and cooked to perfection. I will say the chicken was almost a tad bit too salty but only because it coupled with the already salty cheese. Overall though, I liked them 4/5. Next was the Peach Cobbler Smoothie, it was a 5/5. The little extras that they add to the smoothie such as the cinnamon really make it a standout smoothie out of the million shops in LA. Last but definitely not least, the Kimalito de Coco was FANTASTIC 5/5. It's not overly sweet and all the ingredients blend perfectly well into this creamy coconut dream. A huge plus because I saw the owner uses his grandfathers recipe. Shoutout to gramps because he really did his big one with that one. 10/10 I'd definitely return and try the more traditional food items for my next cheat day! read more
