    Everything about our first experience was amazing. It started with our check in. The hostess was very pleasant and showed us all of the amenities the restaurant had while she walked us to our table. Our waitress Abby was the best. I’ve never had a server come to the table and check on us as many times as she did. She was very detail oriented and explained everything to us with a smile since this was our first visit. On to the food we started with the empanadas that came with one chicken and one beef. They both were good but I preferred the chicken. My daughter who is a picky eater order the polo al mojo and loved that they let her sub her beans for French fries. The chicken was so juicy and seasoned well. My friend had the churrasco and he said it was really good. I had the salmon veradero (guava marinated salmon) it was to die for oh and I forgot to mention the bread with guava butter and garlic butter was a surprisingly tasty addition to our meal. We sat on the patio and it was warm, bright and decorated with a christmas tree and so many places for photo ops. We had to leave to get to our concert but they were setting up for live music on a Tuesday. I would definitely recommend La Bodeguita de mima to anyone 10/10!

    The food was delicious! Service was excellent while being unobtrusive. The server was not knowledgeable about the wines which was a little surprising. Noise level was a bit high but we were able to carry on a conversation. Overall, a great experience.

    We love everything about this fabulous spot, every single time we come. My husband and I always come in large groups of at least 6 or more and we are always so happy with our choices of apps, entree, drinks and desserts to the point that we just want to share everything with each other. We have tried so many items on the menu. This time I fell in love with the Tostones topped with chicken and the Tres Leches topped with Bananas Foster. My Cuban Moscow Mule is THE best Moscow Mule I have ever had and I even make them in my kitchen for guests.
