    Half chicken with fries
    Kate M.

    Very friendly staff. There is NO chicken 3-5pm!! We didn't know but luckily it we got there 4:50pm so only had to wait a short while. Chicken was tender, pretty moist. The skin was delicious - crispy, plenty of salt/spices. I can see why you'd want to add this to any entree. If health wasn't of concern, I would opt for just the skin. The meat is for the gains (haha) Fries were pretty good but I prefer the extra crispy kind. This was crispy, and a bit soggy from soaking up the chicken juices (yummy) but not my favorite type of fries. Personal preference. Chicken panzanella salad is good for two or three meals. PLENTY of ciabatta bits in the salad to make it seem like you're eating a literal chopped sandwich. I wish it was toasted and less bread. More greens. The goat cheese is plentiful and adds to the heaviness. Overall not bad. It was a bad combo with the half chicken and fries though. Overall a fun venture outside of downtown to a cute repurposed home. Plenty of street parking available.

    After I fractured my hip and was discharged from rehab, I started physical therapy that lasted four months. That's a long time for a foodie to just window shop restaurants. There was a parking space right in front of La Bodega and although there's steps, cane and all, I managed to make it into the lovely ordering and take out space. Take some time with La Bodega's menu. There's a lot going on. The evening's rotisserie chickens were whirling in the oven and perfuming the air so we were smack in the afternoon window when there are no chickens to order; but still plenty else available. I ordered what turned out to be the tastiest lemony garlicky white bean hummus with veggie and ciabatta dippers. So very good. My husband had the Pulled Chicken Sandwich and side salad with fried chicken skin as a sandwich add on. He said the carmelized onions and the crispy skin really were terrific. It's a great menu which no doubt changes. It's very Mediterranean and everything sounds delicious, even the whole and half chickens! We'll be back!

    Great little place! Gorgeous space with limited outside seating. They specialize in lunch items and use great quality ingredients including their star the organic rotisserie bird/chicken. The also sell products and ingredients from small businesses. All were very cute including the packaging for a women owned sustainable tinned fish business. The menu inside was a bit hard to read with the layout but they have cute business card with a qr for the menu as well. Took me second to figure out what I wanted that didn't have chicken on it. But ended at the fattoush salad. Only took a few minutes to get my small salad and it was great! All the ingredients were obviously fresh and super flavorful. The ciabatta bread was plush and toasty and had an amazing flavor. It was a bit heavy on the vinaigrette but even that was extremely flavorful and made for a nice start to my day. Loved the ladies working there. They were very kind and obviously great at what they're doing in that kitchen.

    The chicken in this place is insane! Such good food I still think about it. I had the salad and it truly was one of the best salads of my life. Very simple but so flavorful I cannot wait to come back and eat it again. Could not recommend this place enough as all of our entrees were delicious. The fries are super good and would highly recommend trying their fry yogurt sauce with them as it's so unique and adds such great flavor! Truly such an incredible restaurant. The only complaint is seating is very limited so if it becomes very packed that might be an issue but the food was so good I would sacrifice and sit on the sidewalk to eat the food. Also, their service was pretty quick for such a small team!

    My new favorite place in the area. I have tried all sorts of things in the past few weeks, including their famous rotisserie chicken (so juicy with a good amount of meat), a few different salads, sandwiches, weekly specials, and froyo. Everything is good--very flavorful and fresh! La Bodega is a neighborhood gem! The parking situation (street parking) can be a little tricky though.

    Sardines & herbs

    I tried this place today. I bought a few items, but this is what I've eaten so far. The chicken had a mild flavor, but delicious and the skin was good and crispy. I'm actually eating the sardines & herbs now. Very refreshing. It reminds me of a Niçoise salad. This is very very good. I wish I would have gotten the large. Very nice and clean place. I'll be back.

    CHICKEN GIARDINIERIA and PULLED CHICKEN
    Morgan P.

    We finally made it over to La Bodega after getting their hours correct! It's a cute little shop that you either take your food to go or sit outside. I had the chicken giardinieria which was pretty good, very saucy. To me the star of the show were the fries! They were perfectly crispy and seasoned. I would come back just for the fries. The staff member taking our order was nice and took time to explain the menu as well as let us know we can customize any of the sandwiches.

    Half chicken with fries is so good! Perfectly seasoned and juicy. Yogurt dill sauce is a nice addition for the fries.

    If you want fresh, Tex Mex food that is good, come here! We were out strolling Bishop Arts district…read moreand came across Tejas. We ordered guacamole, ceviche, and chipotle chicken taco. Everything was so damn good! The guac was guac'ing! Chunks of avocado in the guac (how I like it!). The white fish and shrimp in the ceviche was so fresh and well seasoned. The taco was equally delicious I ordered a skinny cucumber margarita. It was just ok. I like my drinks strong (I like to taste my 'likkuh') and this wasn't strong at all, but it was quite refreshing. The complimentary chips and salsa is bomb!!! "Fresh" is the theme of my review lol. You can tell the salsa is freshly made and not straight out of a can or jar. It had a nice spicy kick.

    Great location. Attentive service. Excellent Tex-Mex…read more Tejas is located near the heart of Bishop Arts, offering outdoor patio seating, bar seating, and a comfortable dining room. There's free parking across the street, but it often fills quickly during busy hours--which in Bishop Arts is most of the time. The décor is a fun mix of "Tex" and "Mex." The menu features tacos, enchiladas, soups, salads, and fajitas. They don't offer combo plates, so I ordered the tacos pastor along with a side of crispy beef tacos. Both were excellent and served promptly. Bonus: the draft beer was ice-cold. The wait staff checked in often, making my Friday late lunch a relaxing break. Definitely worth a visit!

    Excellent turkish restaurant! The food was really good! Service is second to none!…read more I ordered the Grilled Branzino. Please be aware that the Branzino is sea-bass. Sea-bass is served with all of the bones inside the fish. So do not order this for a child! Outside of the bones, the Branzino and salad was delicious. I finished it before I could get a photo. The Oreo cake was pretty delicious too! Decadent chocolate very smooth! I will be going back for the Ali Nazik and Pistachio Cheesecake.

Reminds me of cafes overseas for sure. I always sit outside since I'm a hookah smoker but the inside is beaaaaautiful, you've gotta go in & take a look around. So dreamy and the aesthetic gives old money. The food for me is always solid. Nothing blows me away, but you'll eat good & enjoy your time there for sure. Service is laid back, they're not too overly attentive bc like I said most people are there to vibe and chill a while - so they're not hounding you to pay/leave, which is nice.. you can easily wave them over when you need service, etc. This is a solid date night spot, weekday or weekend conversation spot, have visitors in from out of town (you can see the skyline but also still close to the bar areas).

    Seasonal food, guaranteed delicious…read more Sourdough bread with vinaigrette was not good - it was probably sitting there for awhile. Had a hard time chewing the outer crust. Beetarita was good, lots of vegetable and fruit flavors. Pork belly was solid, very tender and super easy to stretch - how meat should be. The vegetables were a nice add-on. Grilled salmon fattoush was great - yogurt sumac was a solid touch to mix with the sweet peppers/cucumber and gave a great contrast to the savory, crispy salmon. The crispy layer on the salmon was seared so nicely. And the best dish - the peach cobbler (summer season) was super delicious. Loved how well made this was! A special shout-out to the homemade crispy flat bread in the salmon fattoush! And our server was super amicable, the vibes were warm, elegant, farm-to-table.

For food, we tried the grilled shrimp salad and egg sandwich. The sandwich stood out; great flavors, crispy potatoes, tho a tiny bit over salted. Overall an enjoyable experience, great for meeting up with people, we'd recommend!
