We generally go for a quick team lunch about once every 4 weeks and there is some weird…read morelong-standing tradition of going for 'Fish Friday' in the Wetherspoons on Bennetts Hill, which I am not the greatest fan of! Thankfully this Friday we decided to change things up a bit and went to Bodega over the road instead. I've eaten at Bodega many times and it rarely disappoints so I was keen to see what the team thought of it. I booked a table for 8 easily online and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our waitress was friendly and took our drinks order quickly. The lads were all pleased to see that they had Estrella on tap, while I opted for a Passion Fruit Twist. We ordered two portions of nachos between us as starters. They arrived and, as usual, each dish was an absolute mountain of food. Even with 8 of us all diving in, we still had plenty to eat each and everyone thought was really tasty. For mains we all went for either quesadillas or burritos with three portions of sweet potato fries to share. Again these all went down really well, my chicken quesadillas and the fries were extremely tasty, despite me overdoing it a bit with the Pip's Hot Sauce! I was really pleased that everyone enjoyed their meals and I hope we get to have many more team lunches at Bodega as the food, service and ambiance is far superior to the 'spoons!

Menu is a mix of latin dishes, Spanish style rice with prawns, corn and beans was flavorful. The nachos were different than expected with thick tortillas topped with salsa, guacamole and pulled pork. A nice kick with jalapeños as well. The fish tacos were dry. No salsa just a square breaded chunk of fish atop cabbage. Average. The Michelada was ok. You can choose your beer and then a little tomato juice, lots of chili salt and lime juice is added. I think the food and drinks here are hit or miss. Would ask for extra hot sauce or salsa on the side to spice up the dishes.

Strangely, it was served in martini glasses? But I digress... Our party was 3 adults and 1 child. We ordered the chili con carne nachos to share as a starter. This was an excellent dish to share and would be fine as an entree for one. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl as my main. This dish was just okay. Chicken wasn't really seasoned but with some S&P and hot sauce, it was acceptable. Other dishes ordered were the chicken enchilada, 1/2 chicken peri peri style, and the kids' chicken crispers w/ curly fries. Everything was okay. Some dishes a little better than others. But otherwise a very pleasant dining experience. Ruth was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend the nachos and cocktails!

The service is friendly, and feels genuine, and the ambiance is almost as if you were in Colombia! There's usually some Spanish football on the TV which adds to the authenticity of the restaurant. It's always full of Colombians, and other spanish speakers, which could be a little daunting for some, but it's evidence that they do a good job with the food! The empanadas taste great, and of course come with the great spicy salsa verde, super tasty. I ALWAYS go for the Bandeja Paisa, and I'm satisfied every time! The meat is good, although it can be a little over cooked at times, but not often. The rice, arepa, egg, beans and plantain are always cooked perfectly (I think they've had a lot of practice)!! The drinks choices are great, you can even order a Refajo (recommended) which is kinda like beer with Irn-Bru. Tastes great with all the meat on a Bandeja Paisa! They also have some great juices which you can have with milk or water. I usually get the Maracuja with water... refreshing! To say the prices for food are reasonable is a real understatement. £12 for Bandeja Paisa of this quality is awesome! If you're ever in Shepherds Bush, check this place out. Be warned, they close unusually early on Sundays, around 7pm.

I won't lie, I was initially turned off by the outside look and we were first in the restaurant (empty restaurants are never a good sign); however, my original trepidation was immediately laid to rest when our waitress came. She was friendly and walked us through all our menu questions and provided some helpful suggestions and very quickly the restaurant filled up. The arepas were fantastic, cheese on top was melted perfection, and the tamales were bursting with flavor and the was moist and delicious. I would highly recommend a stop here, just make sure to bring cash.

I especially love the Brazillian cheese dough balls, they are addictive and you won't want to share! Have to say they have the best margaritas around! Service is a bit hit or miss depending when you go. It is definitely not a place to go if you are in a hurry, which my husband and I know this and enjoy not being rushed. The atmosphere can change on the time of day or day of the week. It can be super busy with long wait times, a loud, fun and party atmosphere in the evenings and weekends, or you can have a very quiet Sunday afternoon looking out over the lake. The restaurant is not very wheelchair friendly. If you are in a wheelchair, choose to go for lunch, or on a quiet Sunday, as the tables are too close. Getting the wheelchair through the restaurant was a hard task, but it's doable. I just felt awkward having other diners interrupted from their meals to stand up and out of the way for me, so that I could be placed in the back of the building. Which made me feel even more awful when I had to use the toilet and annoy the other diners further. Having to apologise over and over on a night out made me feel terrible and I actually thought I would never go back. We made sure on other occasions to ask for a table close to the front, past the bar. But then you are near the bar atmosphere and it can be noisy and loud.The tables at the front of the restaurant are pub/bar style high tables with bar stools, and aren't wheelchair accessible, as you are too far down to reach the table. I recommend if you are a wheelchair user and are craving delicious South American food, go on a slower day. We were able to get my wheelchair into the restaurant without disrupting many diners (the waiter did have to move chairs out of the way and make a path) to the table which was an appropriate height and had a lovely view over the lake. It was quiet and away from the bar area. My husband and I do enjoy the food and drinks greatly, so with good timing, we have an enjoyable meal.

On my first visit to Milton Keynes, I was happy to discover a whole bunch of restaurants right…read morebehind my hotel. There were at least a dozen decent looking places. We looked at a few menus and settled on Las Iguanas with their Latin American offerings. The interior was nicely decorated with lots of bright colours and hanging strings of lights to give it a kinda outdoorsy patio look. They do have a very nice patio also but it was too cool to sit out there. I ordered half a rack of Havana Club & Jerk BBQ Glazed Pork Ribs (Fall off the bone individual pork ribs covered in a sticky rum glaze, topped with crispy onion & chilli) from their lunch menu, served with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. It was very good, just the right tenderness to release off the bone easily. Tasty. My three companions opted for a variety of appetizers, including chicken wings, quesadillas, and nachos. It was like tapas style. It was all very good. Their drink menu features Two-for-One cocktails all day so I tried the Rum Runner (Havana Club 3 Yr Rum, blackberry, banana, lime, pineapple, grenadine). It was good! Nobody else wanted a drink so I had them both. No problem! For dessert, we had the Creamy Caramel Cake, Coconut Ice Cream, and the Banana Empanada. Again, these did not disappoint. They were all very good. Good food and good service - that's what makes you come back. So we did. A week later, we made an unplanned trip to Milton Keynes, directly from Paris, to spend a few hours with a dear friend. We all agreed that we had to come back here for lunch. Again, we were not disappointed. This time, a friend and I ordered the Dominican Goat Curry (A spicy Dominican-style goat & scotch bonnet chilli curry with spring onion rice, fried plantain & pink pickled onions). It was very good but I have to say, it was one of the spiciest dishes I've ever had from a restaurant! HOT!!! Another friend had the ribs that I ordered the last time and our fourth diner went the appetizer/tapas route with wings and quesadillas. Despite all the choices within a few steps away, it was an easy decision to come back here. Again, tasty food and good service wins!
