    Great Cuban sandwich, great service, but it took a long time preparing our food. We were the only customers in the place it should not have taken 20 minutes to make a sandwich. BUT the sandwich was excellent when it arrived so I forgave them. Marshall was on the ball behind the counter.

    Lechon sandwich + rice & beans

    Good spot to grab Cuban food in St Petersburg! We got the lechon sandwich & rice + beans to split between me & my husband for lunch. Plenty of food and served very quickly! Lots of seating inside and some outside.

    Cuban Sandwich
    Ian S.

    Best Cuban sandwich I've had in a while. So flavorful and was reasonably priced ($13). The Lechón Plato was aight, but the pork wasn't as flavorful as the sandwich. The indoor mural was really nice and the dinning room was nice and spacious. The servers were nice and helpful. The only downside I'd say was the portion of black beans we got for the side of beans we ordered. We ordered a side of beans and a side of rice. The portion of beans just seemed small in comparison for the portion of rice we got.

    Delicious authentic Cuban food! Had the Cuban sandwich with a side of rice and beans. Delicious. Order and the counter and it's delivered to the table. Super casual and quick. It's nice for a convenient and easy lunch if you're in downtown St Pete. They had a fresh made hibiscus soda too, super yummy!

    Pollo sandwich
    Kristen H.

    Been eating too much but I won't be back soon so. I got the sandwich versus the plate. Rice beans and plantains is good except not enough to pay for and I guess Cuban sandwiches specifically are a thing so. They have them at Porto's near me. Got pollo asado cuz it said coconut and spicy mango I think or something. Its for sure different I'll say that. I've had spicy mango before but it's taking a while for me to process this combo. Its not bad just interesting. Chill vibe and cool interior. A bit empty on a weekday yet very popular online clearly. Good service good area. Affordable. It's chill.

    First Bite of the Frita

    As a Cuban, I always arrive with certain expectations, my husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was not too. Busy and we found plenty of seating. We ordered the Lechón Platter, Frita and I got a Hibiscus Soda Fresca ( Agua de Jamaica with bubbles lol) The Lechón left something to be desired but the beans were on point. The Lechón felt dry, and that it was relying on the Mojo for flavor. Ultimately a solid size portion. The Frita, I have mixed reviews on, the flavor profile was right, the size of the patty and the moisture was off. A Frita is the equivalent of a Cuban Smash Burger and the patty here was too dense , and a little dry. I think two smash patties with more "sauce" with the flavor they've already accomplished? It would have been a smash.... Pun intended. Overall good experience and would try again.

    To say this place is highly rated doesn't do justice to their sandwiches! Service is nice. Real food takes time, so don't expect fast food here. The bread is out of this world. Pork was super tender and flavorful. Bring your appetite or share! Oh yeah, the swanky speakeasy in the back opens after 7pm!

    Oh the things I could do with this restaurant, coming from a Cuban woman. First of all ambiance is super cute, but....at night the lights need to be dim and add better seating. The back bar area is stellar, cozy and great vibe.. As far as the food...add olive oil to the black beans, don't give someone a chicken breast for pollo asado, period. Sauces are on point. Rice and beans are so cheap to make, elevate it. No excuse for that breast. Lechon was on the dry side. Staff lacked personality. They were not rude in any way just didn't make you feel that they were happy to be there. Why order at a counter just to be brought the food to your table? That person should take order and serve. They would make extra money for themselves. And nobody is inconvenienced..

    Stopped by to grab a quick bite for lunch and we shared the Cuban Sandwich. We ordered at the window and ate outside at one of the few tables. There's also a large inside seating area which was very clean. I made a mistake of already having some food prior, however even being not entirely hungry, the Cuban sandwich was damn good. The roast pork was so juicy and tender! The juices helps moisten the whole sandwich. I would love to come back to try everything else on the menu!

    Delicious Cuban comfort food! We loved the maduros, pollo asado, and the lechón sandwich, everything came out fresh, flavorful, and in huge portions. Service was friendly and fast, and it was easy to find street parking within a short walk. A great casual spot on Central for a satisfying meal.

    Cuban sandwich they split for us . Was very good !

    Another great stop at Bodega. Absolutely great Cuban sandwich. Fast , Friendly service , great St Pete vibe .... Will keep coming back

    Great options & yummy sandwiches. The chicken sandwich was perfectly pressed and the sauce was delicious. Service was a bit chaotic but it was fairly busy at the time. Plenty of seating available inside.

    Pina Feliz
    Kandis J.

    I was initially captivated by the name, and just the exterior of the building. Plus my friend assured me that we must go here to grab a drink! we both had been walking around and in typically Florida fashion, it was hot. During these times, you need reinforcement because water sometimes not enough. So we entered into the lovely bodega and it was such a beautiful open space. Also apparently they have a speakeasy in the back, but it was daytime so nothing to see! When we go to order, the staff were just so nice and sweet. We talked about wanting a juice, and one of the workers whispers, "Piña Feliz," and so of course we took him up on that option! I must return to try some of that yummy Cuban food.

    Lechón--that's my half. Good portion

We ordered two smoothies-- Pure Berry and Tropical Breeze and unfortunately there was nothing special about the berry one. Especially not for $11. The tropical breeze, however, was refreshing and much more flavorful. I still can't wrap my head around an almost $12 smoothie. Seems steep for what it is.

I didn't notice and pate though and addressed it with the waiter. He took the dish back and brought it back explaining that then pate had melted onto the skillet. Sensing my disappointment, he brought a little extra scoop of pate on the side for me! Perfect! The dining room was very room, and they turned on the air at our request, which made the experience much better. Definitely a nice stop.
