Visiting from Hawaii, we were lucky to have Bodega right across of our hotel at walking distance. We kept coming back for dinner because the food and margaritas are top notch! Gaby welcomed us each time with the most hospitality. When I asked which margarita was the best, she recommended the “Bodega”, and it did not disappoint! They do a table side guacamole which was like a dinner and a show. So fresh and yummy. We didn’t wait for a table or for food. Their service is so friendly, fast and consistent. This spot is so clean, and is just an overall vibe. They have the cutest neon light signs all over. “Save water, drink tequila”! Must haves (just for starters): Chicharones - melt in your mouth! Mango Shrimp Ceviche - huge serving Street Corn - creamy and buttery Salsa & Totopos - 4 amazing dips to try Table Side Guacamole - freshhhhh Bodega Margarita - smooth and addictive Can’t wait to visit again to try more of their amazing menu!

✨ Taco dreams came true that night 🌮💫 Stopped by for my first visit and ordered 3 carnitas tacos—chef’s kiss. I asked if they could throw a little mango on top for a sweet twist, and boom 💥 they nailed it. Flavor explosion. Shoutout to Gabrielle, my server, who was an absolute gem 💎 Attentive, kind, and totally cool with my custom request. She made me feel so welcome, like I’d been coming there for years. Already planning my next visit. If you haven’t been yet… what are you waiting for?

Only complaint that I have is that I was visiting and don’t live in Colorado. The service is fast, the atmosphere is authentic yet elevated, and the food (especially the fish tacos) are to die for. If you’re looking for something you won’t find at home as a visitor or a new spot as a local, this is it.

We decided to stop in for lunch and honestly, we were headed to the spot next door, but since tacos are our favorite, we gave this place a try. Starting with the positives: the staff was friendly and attentive, and the mocktails (Virgin Margarita and Chica Lavender) were delicious. Unfortunately, the tacos just weren’t for us. They came loaded with overcomplicated toppings, most of which had a heavy mayo taste that made the flavors confusing. After eating, we felt heavy and sluggish instead of satisfied. The women’s bathroom also didn’t have a working lock, which wasn’t great. When the bill came, we noticed some unexpected charges — an 8% beverage/liquor tax and a 2% Public Improvement Fee (PIF). It felt odd being taxed like that on mocktails, so just a heads-up for future guests. Overall, this place wasn’t for us. Despite the friendly service and tasty drinks, we left disappointed and don’t plan on returning.
