    Bodega 8 - Beef shank tacos. Note the presentation of onions and cilantro on top of a big bone - that also had some marrow in it. Stellar

    Restaurant is very nice and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a…read moreparty of 7 and everyone was pleased with their food from the drinks to the tacos to appetizers and entree with the exception of the ribeye. The first piece given was very fatty and barely had any meat to eat. The restaurant did offer to provide a different piece or entree item. The tuna was so tasty. The dessert of the chocolate cake was dry. Other than that, everything was exceptional and pretty much a nice dining experience.

    Cannot give 5 stars. I will settle for 4…read more I ordered a block of beef, medium rare. And that was awesome. Great flavor on every bite, and ideal texture. Would have been nicer if there were some kind of sauce to go with it I thought. Butter, demiglase, chimichurri, something. The arugula salad that came with was too salty and too sour but the tomatoes in the salad was delightful. Is that grilled or put in oven for short time? Light warmness of those tomatoes really brought out the sweetness of the tomatoes itself, I enjoyed that very much. The salsa and beans that came at the beginning of the meal was actually really good. Wife ordered a hamburger, and wow. The meat was so so sooo salty. That's gotta be extra salted by mistake. There is no way that was prepared correctly. Tortilla soup was quite plain. I kinda wished there to have more depth in flavor. We ordered the signature tacos for my kid. I didn't try them but my kid liked it. Price was about $100 for 3 of us. And I feel that's a bit much for this quality of experience on this side of the border. 4 stars, I think is the reasonable decision on my part. Oh, but thank you for having English menu for foreigner like me.

    We ate at the bar because we arrived at 4 and the restaurant is closed 3-5. However, the bar still…read morehas a food menu, and the ambiance was so cool! Staff were very attentive, helpful, and kind. The food was DELICIOUS. We got the lamb meatballs and the burger. We did not have any alcoholic drinks, just water. No complaints about this place and I tend to have complaints about most things. Can't wait to come back!

    Everything was so fresh and delicious! Kitchen was a bit slow and backed up, since the place was…read morevery popular and quite packed. We went at sunset time and there was about 10-15 min wait. There were outside seating which I would have preferred but I think they left those for people with reservations. Inside they put the AC way too high. And the bar was way too dark to have dinner, even though the hostess did say you can order food at the bar. It was just not an ambient to have dinner over. I can imagine it will be great for a date over drinks kinda vibe. Our server was so sweet, and even gave our birthday boy a free dessert: a gluten free banana bread which was divine. I love how there are dairy free and gluten free options here. The ingredients all felt fresh and well seasoned. Flavors were all on point. Except the shrimp dish I wouldn't order again. It lacked oomph, no depth, no texture, it was a boring dish. We got to see some live music next door after dinner under the stars which was so nice! Will be back again, and try other items on the menu.
