    I’ve been to La Bodeguita three times now, and each time my expectations are exceeded! The vibes are unlike any other other restaurant I’ve ever been to. It’s lively but not too loud to have a conversation, the staff is super friendly (shoutout our waiter Olaff), and the food is to die for. I’ve ordered the Cuban sandwich and Churrasco every time because they’re too good to pass up! The Veggie empanadas are so delicious that I have to get two orders of them. If you’re looking for a fun restaurant in Louisville, this is the place to go! P.S. Please open a second location in Texas!!

    Had a nice experience. Food and drinks were great overall but the steak was very underwhelming and not what I expected, so I learned my lesson there. The mahi was amazing though as well has our brisket appetizer and margaritas. This experience a little less enjoyable than our last one because we were sat in the front room which was not well insulated and uncomfortably cold when the door was opened. Overall, we still love this place and highly recommend it! The serving staff is great!

    Service was outstanding. Joshua was our server and he spoke a little about the history of the restaurant. It was very I interesting knowing the story and background of it.
