Bodega Canal

"If you’re headed to the Garden and want to grab a drink and a bite before the game, but you don’t want to be in a place that has more Celtics posters on the walls than your childhood bedroom, Bodega Canal isn’t a bad option. The menu of Mexican food and cocktails gets the job done and the space looks the way you’d imagine a refurbished hotel in the Sonoran desert might." - Dan Secatore

"While many restaurants opt to go for the alliterative “Taco Tuesday,” Bodega Canal in the West End serves all-you-can-eat tacos on Monday nights from 4:30 to 10 p.m. For $9, diners choose from beef or chicken hard shell tacos with accompanying pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese. (Bodega Canal also has a different taco special on Tuesdays.)" - Dana Hatic

"After a ramp-up in restaurants that started in 2013 with the opening of Ward 8 and continued with both North Square Oyster and Bodega Canal in 2017, Frattaroli caps off 2018 with a nod to the neighborhood’s roots." - Dana Hatic
