   Our Drinks were served to us 10 mins after we finished all our food. We ordered 2 horchatas, which we were told was being made. When it finally came, the drink was disappointing. It was super watered down and felt like we were just drinking water and sugar. I’ve had horchata before and I know that the consistency should be milkier. It would be nice if you could improve the horchata considering its price point and size. Thankfully, the food made up for our entire experience.

   I have been coming to bodega for a few years and this is the first time I was disappointed in the food. The lamb ribs were extremely dry and the food was mostly cold as it all came out at once so by the time we were ready to eat a few dishes they were cold.

   Food was good, but the seats were very uncomfortable and the tables were very small and not enough space for multiple plates. We got the last table in the space and felt like we were jammed in a corner.

   LOVE this place, authentic food, fast, friendly, funny service, drinks are great. FOOD again, Elote and Birra tacos with a Tommy’s Marg is an absolute game changer. I trek it to the city for this place as often as I can and it’s always top of my suggestion list when friends ask where to eat! Thank you :)

   I wanted to try this place as has a good reputation but I think it is overrated. First off my mocktail - guava and soda was $10 and probably about 120ml so quite expensive. We ordered fried potatoes with chipotle sauce and spring onions. What we received was loaded fries so that was the end for me - what a misrepresentation. Our next dish was the pork tacos which were tasteless. The only good dish was the avocado and pea guacamole but it was very small for $15. We were considering the fish tacos until we found out the fish was Basa - imported from south east Asia. What is wrong with the delicious fish in Australia. Overall was a disappointment.

    Make sure to book since they’re always so busy. We got the birria and carnitas tacos + the elote and chilaquiles on the side. Definitely recommend the corn it was a solid 15/10!

    The food was average. The birria the only reason i went there but it was way too salty. The fish tacos were okay but too much avocado. The tastiest thing was the chargrilled Corn and patatas with chorizo. The place is too crowded and hot not enough oxygen flow, so I wouldn't recommend it to someone with claustrophobia.

    We did the Bottomless Mexi Brunch. Love the consistency of this place, it was just a good as the last time we did it. Cocktails are really nice, food was great. The staff are very efficient and really work hard. The Brunch has a really good fun vibe. I think it is great value.

    I think the Feed Me menu is fantastic - great value and amazing food! The service left a little to be desired - drinks that took over 15 minutes to get to the table twice, plus flagging someone down to get the bill involved almost doing a song and dance! However overall, the food would bring me back again, I'd just know what to expect service wise.

    First time here and it is definitely a place I’d come back to. Little bit of a smaller venue so felt like we could hear everyone’s conversations but my god the food was good. The lamb ribs fell off the bone, the sweet potato tacos were big on flavour and the birria tacos were just indescribable. Would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to come hear. Service was good. Food came fast. And the cocktails were delicious

    Sensational food in a unique underground venue close to all the theatres. The pre-theatre menu is tasty and will leave you full!! Staff friendly and know how to treat their customers well. Will definitely be back.

    Chose this restaurant because it looked like it had good vegetarian options, however my veggo friends got partially cooked veggies (eg: beans partly raw / partly cooked, zucchini partly raw / partly cooked sort of thing). Got charged a $20 service fee for bringing in a birthday cake which was fine, but I would have expected the fee to include plating and cutting which didn’t happen. I had to plate and cut this myself, and they didn’t think about giving us cutlery to eat the cake until we asked them. The clearing of plates was slow as well - we were advised that we were going to have to leave the table soon, but the wait staff didn’t actively clear our dinner plates in preparation for us to have dessert. We had to start clearing the plates ourselves. Overall, it was disappointing and I wouldn’t be going back.

    I’m very disappointed with my time at bodega. I booked a table of two for my anniversary and expected to eat at a table like a normal restaurant, however upon arrival to my shock we were made to sit and eat up at the bar!! This is appalling behaviour from a restaurant that doesn’t even say eating at the bar is an option when booking online! We asked to be moved many times even willing to wait for a free table but we’re denied. I’m also quite short, I could barley eat my food as the bar was so high up and narrow you could barley fit more than 3 plates infront of us. I’m extremely disappointed with the service and the lack of accommodation.

    We made a reservation weeks in advanced. Arrived and were told they needed to move people as they were given our seats. We then found out our seats were at the bar which was not specified when booking ( I would have always gone for a table due to back issues) we politely asked if there was a chance we could move to a table and were told ‘sorry they are booked and there is nothing we can do’. We chose not to stay. Overall quite disappointing.
