There is a magical Disney princess waitress KP who makes you feel so welcome and appreciated, she remembers my order and my take out for hubby (better than I do) she is an excellent bartender too. The food here is always delicious. The catches are: no other waitstaff go above and beyond like KP does, in fact when she is not my server, my husband gets massively different take out meal every time. He orders a burrito with two customizations and last time he got a taco salad. Also other bartenders make drinks too strong and the flavor is not the same. There is one hostess on Friday nights who is very crabby when you request your favorite waitress even when arriving more than an hour before dinner rush.

Tapas small plates are a preference for me - I enjoy many things so being able to have multiple small shareable plates is ideal.

My experience was with a group of adventurous world travelers with catholic tastes in food. We all…read morelooked forward to a great dinner at the Twin Cities' first tapas restaurant. It was not great. The problem? I think it was because owner/chef Rene Ruiz Olivar was acting as waiter, not chef. We gave Sr. Ruiz the freedom to choose our tapas, with one exception, the black ink pasta with scallops and shrimp (Tinta Negra) that reviewers have raved about. He said, no problema--he would serve it. Then he must have forgotten because we never got it. The first tapa served, almond-crusted manchego (Almendrado), was plated prettily and was delicious but oh-so-sweet. It was an odd choice for a starter, would have been better as the finale in case nobody ordered dessert. Soon came a lamb tapa (Cordero). The lamb chops' quality was uncertain as the meat was severely overcooked. El Bodegon's langoustines (Gambas al Ajillo) had given every bit of their sea flavor to the sauce, which was magnificent, we all agreed. But where were the dish's promised mussels, the rice? One shared plate, a beef tenderloin tapa (Carne Brava), had apparently lingered too long in the kitchen--the meat was nearly cold. I adore papas bravas (Patatas Bravas). I must have had the dish a dozen times or more during my last trip to Spain, in 2017, when I visited friends who live in Ronda. During my six-week stay, we toured Andalucia, staying at hotels in large cities and visiting small towns. I also spent time sola in Madrid and Barcelona. Unlike in Spain, El Bodegon's potatoes were diced to death. Never in Spain have I ever had patatas bravas that were not substantial in size. All in all, I found the vegetables accompanying the tapas unrecognizable except for the tiny Brussels sprouts. The rest seemed chopped up or stirred to pieces in the pan. Some of my friends had churros for their dessert. They deemed them appropriately hot and tasty. My dessert was cheesecake torte, decked out with a candle as it was my 90th birthday. The torte was a gold-star winner. It was absolutely delicious, its plating the most successful of the evening. It was so perfect it almost made up for the sub-par tapas that preceded it. One of us had a view of the kitchen from his seat at the table. He saw a man other than the chef/owner doing the cooking. Was he a trainee? Did Sr. Ruiz help with the plating? God knows he didn't have a lot patrons to contend with in his role as waiter. It was a slow weeknight, and there were never more than four tables occupied. I sincerely regret that our time at El Bodegon differs from so many reviewers. Like them, I want to see Sr. Ruiz's little restaurant succeed. He has a hard row to hoe, and I hope a disappointing dinner like ours does not befall anyone else going forward.

The authenticity of the food here is a real treat. Today I ordered the Chicken Flautas, four crispy…read moretubes of deliciously seasoned chicken, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Three sauces accompany the flautas: a mild red, creamy spicy green, and a hot sauce that is no joke. All the veggies give a crisp, fresh burst of flavor with the crunchy chicken roll. It was accompanied by refried beans and yellow rice. I ordered the kid's nachos with a side of beans. They were what you'd expect for kids; thin, crisp tortilla chips covered in melted shredded cheese. As it cools, however, it congeals into a sheet that slides right off the chips. Not a problem for cheese loving kiddos as they just ripped off chunks of cheese to devour with the chips. Yum!

This place is fairly new, I believe a Chinese restaurant used to be here... They had a buffet on offer, but most of the options were entrees not of my personal liking, so I decided to order off the menu. I was very pleased with my meal. You do get a basket of chips (plenty for one) and a salsa that wasn't too thin, nor was it too thick. The food was plated nicely and the portions were very generous. The enchiladas rojas had a ton of chicken and was nicely seasoned. Lots of sour cream and cilantro to help balance out the flavors. Actual pinto beans were served too. Definitely worth getting off 169 if you're driving between the cities and Mankato.
