    Taco Tuesday! Shrimp taco and mushroom taco
    Jenifer M.

    We have been here several times and it does not disappoint! The bands are always a pleaser...I just wish they would expand the dancing area...push those tables back a row! I believe we have eating there 2 times. Taco Tuesday was Tasty! We also had some apps. (nothing yet to write home about) If you ever get a chance the music is always loud. The crowd is always happy! (except that girl fight one night after No Filter) And the Drinks are always tasty! (even though they charged to chill a shot of tequila! Insert eyeroll) Staff is always friendly and for the most part (outdoor bar mostly) its always clean! Thanks again and see you soon!

    We wanted to try something new while avoiding the new round about on Alt 19. Our curiosity led us to Bogota Kitchen & bar. It looked inviting with wide open porches, large fans and an indoor "air-conditioned" bar. It is, but you're fighting the window open to the outside. We sat at the bar, with a couple of regulars while we ordered our drinks and food. Service wasn't the fastest, but we weren't in any hurry and the folks are all busy doing a lot of different things. We were ok. We ordered a sweet and Unsweetened, a vodka double cra, top shelf, Tito's. We got grouper nuggets, I got the house special, which is half a Cuban and half an Ybor city salad. My guy ordered the brisket tacos. The food? It's really good. The grouper nuggets had some kind of sauce which was good, not too hot, and complimented the pineapple dipping sauce. The salad was a damn fine rendition of that other place's signature salad for less! That's awesome and the Cuban was legitimately delicious. My guy had 2 flour tacos stuffed with juicy brisket that he did not want to put down. He said it was delicious. Will we come back? Yes! Yes indeed we will

    It was more like cream of wheat and shrimp not grits and shrimp
    Suzanne C.

    Our server , Alexi was great! I ordered shrimp and grits .... being a Southern girl I know my grits ... they did not use grits - they tasted like cream of wheat.... exactly like cream of wheat. I asked my server if she could find out.... she never did tell me.... No answer is the answer, isn't it? The potatoes were the best thing - they were crunchy on the outside and soft inside with a pesto sauce it was great. The Bloody Mary's and Bellinis were BOGO but... both came out at the same time ... so ice was melted in 2nd one. I would come back on a Sunday for the GREAT jazz band , potatoes and alcohol.... just because the band was so good. But with the BOGO drink specials be sure to ask them to hold the 2nd one until your ready. I really was truly hoping the food would have been better!

    One chicken, one shrimp

    I needed to grab a quick lunch before my book club and it was Tuesday soo.... why not check out taco Tuesday? Taco Tuesday is a big draw here but I was able to snag a seat at the outside bar. I had two tacos, one shrimp and one chicken. They were ok. Just ok. Nothing wrong with them but not real flavorful. I also had a $6 margarita. Again, ok. Overall, a nice cheap snack but I want to go on another night to see how regular service is and how a drink is when it is not premade for mass service. Bartender was slammed fulfilling orders for serves but still attentive to customers at the bar so that was the best thing. Definitely hard working folks!

    Shrimp and grits and a Santa fee burrito.
    Ken L.

    Interesting twist on the shrimp and grits, chorizo is added to give it just a bit of a kick ... it was good. Which made up for the Sante Fe burrito ... what was served didn't match the menu description ... some ingredients were missing and others added that weren't on the menu ... not bad but not as favorable as I expected. Anyway I came for the live music, smooth jazz! The music as on point but a bit soft so try to sit close to the musicians. Definitely a nice neighborhood type of spot with plenty of covered outdoor seating. Will definitely come back, especially for the music

    Tampa Cuban with chips and sauce.
    Jerry G.

    I've been wanting to visit Bogota for close to a month. My Bride and myself were able to have a nice leisurely lunch here on a Wednesday afternoon. We both decided on the Cuban sandwich, I had the full sandwich, and my Bride the half sandwich with a summer salad. It's an unusual day when my Bride finishes a meal, well today was that day she enjoyed the salad very much and the Tampa style Cuban she said was delicious although she did have to modify the sandwich by putting pieces of lettuce into her sandwich, what can I say that's how she likes things. BTW, The summer salad reminded me very much of the Columbian restaurants 1905 salad. My Cuban sandwich was well constructed with all the correct fillings. Came with some tortilla chips and dipping sauce, which had a bit of a kick to it. It also came with a pickle. I had a side of black beans and rice which was absolutely delicious. I couldn't finish it all. I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying their Cuban sandwich. I know I will.

    It's called Bogota, but it's not a Latin restaurant I think. Most of the food that they have is American food. The drinks was OK. Nothing special good selection of beer. I only give this place four stars because of the music. I've been here twice, and the music was fantastic. Live music.

    We went to the Bogata kitchen and bar last night to see a particular band that we like (Julie Black). The ambience is interesting with mostly outdoor seating. However, the service was abominable. Although we got drinks pretty quickly, we sat for another half hour before the waitress actually took our order after having stopped at the table several times and telling us she'd be right back. The table next to me didn't get served for 40 minutes. The food was mediocre at best. Also, the website shows an extensive menu of specials, which was pretty interesting but when we asked about them, we were told they haven't had those in years. So the website needs to be updated. Would not return except to see the entertainment. Maybe go later for drinks. The place has a lot of potential. Must've been cute at one time, but needs to be cleaned up.

    Webpage had $1 tacos. Went up to $2. No worries!

    We are definitely going back on Taco Tuesday! For $2, we got fresh beef and chicken tacos on soft flour tortillas that were delicious. The $5 margarita was small and potent. Our wait staff was good and friendly. It was a little breezy outside - only seating inside was at the bar. We wore hoodies, and we sat farther back in the patio area, so that helped. Parking can be difficult, especially on a "specials" night, but we got there at 5 and had no problem. By 6:30, folks were waiting for tables - and parking spots. Wednesday special is $5 burgers and $1 beers. We'll probably try them next Wednesday, when it's not Ash Wednesday (no meat for this one). It will definitely be warmer, too!

    Shrimp and Grits
    Nick L.

    I love this place, especially for brunch. My only complaint however, is that the mimosas are unbelievably small. They come in an 8oz cup that are half full. They're buy one get one, but it's still a little disappointing. The staff is always super friendly, and they often have a jazz band on the weekends for some extra brunch ambiance. It's a really cool spot, and definitely worth checking out!

    Coconut Cooler = yum & refreshing
