Bodega

The food was delicious!!! The Host and wait staff could have been more attentive when eating a party of six and there were only plates and place settings for four. We waited for additional place settings about 10 minutes after they served the food Ava the place wasn’t packed we were there at 10:30. There atmosphere was beautiful. The paintings and music was very nice and fitting. Other than waiting for a couple of place settings. We enjoyed the food and ambiance.

Pretty good but very loud. They had a major sports game when we went playing in the big screen. The drinks were amazing!! Super cute glasses. The Skittles drink tastes exactly like Skittles.

I’ll let the picture speak for itself. I veered off my typical order of the delicious ube pancakes, and my friend got huevos rancheros! They were so good! (Pictured) I love that they bring things out with sparklers. It’s so fun. I wish they told people or put a star on the menu if an item does come out with sparklers, so that people can record it. The Ube pancakes are super yummy, and my typical go to! Being honest and fair in the review, I must say to stay away from the fries and the matcha parfait. I am a matcha lover, and it just wasn’t for me. However, people have different pallets and you might like it. The fries to me were dry and hard to put down. It’s a great place for brunch. I know it might not be best for business, but I wish they did brunch everyday. They only do brunch on weekends. I have not gone yet, but they do have salsa and bachata lessons. It’s in a great location. I will keep coming back for the Ube pancakes, and continue to veer off of my typical order. They made a really really good mocktail mojito. Mocktails are really hit or miss and they really did an amazing job that blew me out of the water. I wish they were on food delivery apps. Additionally, it is hard to read/find the brunch menu online. I have attached a picture of the brunch menu. The service was good.

Excellent birria tacos! I love the creative cocktails. We got great pricing on the tacos with $7 Mojitos which they offer all Tuesday. I really like the paintings as well. I was surprised they weren’t busy.

Came here for a late dinner and Bodega did not disappoint. Service was top notch! It also happened to be Salsa night, so this place hot packed and was a great place to be. Saving the best for last... I had the Empanadas and a Cuban sandwich. Both were fantastic and I was impressed with how they tasted! This place is a MUST!!!!

I only had dessert and drinks. The pineapple creme brulee is usually really good, but it wasn't the best this night. It may be because the kitchen for the menu items was about to close. My drinks were really good.

I liked what I ordered and the food was a good portioned size. (I got the chilaquiles with meat). The mimosas we ordered were 5 bucks each and the service was good. The reason for the 3 stars instead of the 5 is because of how hot it was inside the restaurant. I get the Miami theme but that didn’t have to include the weather as well. They had fans all over the restaurant to keep cool in the middle of June in Arizona. We were also super excited to try the viral purse drink. When we saw it on the menu we realized that it was 55 dollars. And you didn’t get to keep the purse which was the reason why we didn’t even end up ordering that and just stuck to the 5 dollar mimosas. If we got to keep the purse then we would’ve bought the drink. Other than that our server was good and was nice.

This is such a cute brunch spot! They had a live dj, food and drinks were delicious. We had a reservation and the host accommodated us right away she was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and gave good recommendations. We came here from Tempe definitely worth the drive.

We had a nice experience at Bodega before the NCAA men's semifinal games for the Final Four. All the restaurants were packed, but we managed to snag a high-top table in the bar area. Our server was sweet & helpful and managed to keep us consistently filled with our mimosas. Every possible flavor of mimosa was available, and we tried several! For food, my daughter chose a waffle and bacon, while I had the empanada appetizer. Everything was good!

The service and food is alright, but the ambiance and unique cocktails make me give a recommendation! We came in the middle of the day, the place was dead and the servers didn't seem to care to be there. No worries there, it doesn't really bother me...but don't come for the service or exquisite food. This is a picturesque location with neon signs, fun wallpaper, lights, and tons of cool cocktails for those of you who love social media!

I came here for Sunday brunch around 1230p and there was no wait. This place was awesome. Our waitress was super nice and just the right amount of attentive. The decor was so fun, the music wasn't too loud and everyone looked like they were having a good time! I ordered their version of avocado toast and the ube pancakes to share. The pancakes were incredible and came out with a sparkler on top (so fun). The avocado toast was good, but I think I would try something else next time. I also tried their white peach mimosa and prickly pear mimosa. Both were great and super cute with the flamingo decor. I can't wait to come back here soon!

So worth the wait to grab these awesome cocktails. Lavender lemon drop martini chefs KISS, was awesome! Great recommendations. Very neat place for groups before a concert at West Gate. ****We enjoyed our evening so much we came back for Brunch. Service with a smile. We had the Ube pancake (Purple Yam). Since my girlfriend and I are from Hawaii this was a taste of home. We had the CHORIZO EMPANADA $16, really good with an after burn. CARNE ASADA & EGGS HASH $22 this was my favorite with the roasted tri potato blend and tomatoes, spinach. Topped with 2 eggs and Grilled Carne Asada.

The inside is so cute, such a vibe. The service is immaculate, the general manager came over to personally introduce himself and ask us if we're okay. The food however was decent, nothing super special. I feel like there was a missing wow factor.

Say hello to my little Empanada friend (Tony Montana Voice) I was looking to grab a bite to at and just happened to walk by this place. The Tuesday deal got me curious and asked two people leaving if they liked it, they did of course. I got the Empanadas (the servers recommendation). Glad I got them! The jalapeño and curtido with the sauce have it all the flavor to hit the spot. Good music playing in the background. They even had a DJ booth, no DJ performing when I was eating though. Cool area to walk around with fountains right outside, but this guy has to get to bed early for work.

I visited this place with some friends. It was OK but not great. The service was spotty. The food looked great if you were an Omni but the vegan options were slim to none. Ambiance was cute but the music was so loud we couldn't even hear each other talk. Yes I am old but it was loud. Won't be back. Definitely for a younger Omni crowd.

I love bodega i normally come every Tuesday as a girl night out with friend for happy hour on $7 mojitos today i was super upset since they have the sign of 1/2 app and $7 mojitos and went we get our tickets they charge everything regular price and i ask nicely since is not the fist time they try to charge me Regular price they said the only mojitos on sale are the classic mojitos mind you i always go every Tuesday and get them for $7 and in the sign don't said ONLY CLASS MOJITOS but since it was 14 mojitos they charge all regular price has some one has any like this happen before

I came here with my girls to celebrate my sister birthday.The food was great it's pretty safe to say that what ever you get here will be good. I can say that for sure because I tried a lot. I was please with all of it. I got a mango margarita,French toast, chicken chilaquiles, empanadas, chicken ,açaí bowl, strawberries parfait.I tried everything and it was delicious . The food was fresh, well seasoned and perfectly made. Definitely 100% a popping spot. The service was great. People came by often to make sure we were pleased with our food and drinks. This is definitely a girls brunch type of vibes They have outside seating on the patio and lost of space at the bar. Our waitress was Angelina. Please note everything here will be delicious but very expensive.

Food was great. Service was great Recomend this resturant if you are at Westgate and love cuben food. Empanadas with sooo good

My family & I was enjoying a nice warm evening at the Westgate entertainment district. We noticed a new restaurant to our knowledge may not be new in the area. We saw the signature outside stating $5 mojitos & other drinks all day on Mondays. We were excited for their specials & no wait. We all sat at the bar & the young lady w/ the beautiful Afro made our drinks & showed us where to locate the specials. The decor, lighting was very nice for pictures & more. They have tv located around the bar & the food others were ordering looked amazing. Since we had dinner already; we did not try any food only the drinks & decor. The vibe in the restaurant was so nice & we will definitely be back again soon.

This Miami themed Bodega will have you dancing in your seat the entire time. While Westgate is still striving to become a recognized brunch spot this Bodega provides you a live DJ. The DJ provided some of my favorite hits, you know the ones from the 90's to early 2000's that make your heart smile and your shoulders move to the beat. We didn't get any food here although from what I could see being brought out from the kitchen it looks pretty yummy We ordered several rounds of drinks For some reason the ones with the glitter kept calling our name I highly suggest the Desert Rose something about the sweet flavors and balance of the alcohol created one of the best cocktails of the day Cool Light and refreshing

Such a cool spot. Definitely has a Miami feel to it. They have happy hour m-f till 6pm. We started with nachos. They were okay. We also got empanadas they were good. Also we got the blackberry pizza. It was so good. It tasted like a dessert.

environment is great, great vibes, service is great, wait time is great, food is great, drinks are great, waitresses are all amazing with great personalities and my tab looked great when it was time to pay. definitely going here again and telling everyone I know about this place. ask for Justin, he will make sure your experience is amazing.

My husband and I have been here for just drinks and another time for brunch. They have great food options and the portions are large and delicious. I like that they have a DJ during brunch. Their drinks are so cute and fun. The service has been great both times we've gone so we will definitely continue to go.

My second time visiting Bodega and I enjoyed this experience way more! The first time it took a good thirty minutes for a server to come over and this was only because we asked the host for waters and let her know that no one had came over yet. Granted, this time was on a Wednesday afternoon and it was basically empty so we got serviced very well. I ordered the Cuban Pork bowl and it was really good! The plantains were amazing! I wish they had an appetizer of just plantains because I would definitely order just that by itself. The plate does have a lot of meat and it was a little dry, I feel like it needs something else but otherwise it was good. My friends ordered the cuban sandwich which they both enjoyed and we shared a nacho appetizer. The nachos needed a little bit more cheese and I personally would have preferred pickled jalapenos versus the fresh. I did not get a cocktail this time but they have a lot with fun presentations.

I've been here multiple times on a Friday, Saturday , and Sunday night and each time has been amazing! Bottle service was on point, they bring the bottle out with a lot of attention and the bottle girls are beautiful! The girls make as many drinks you ask for to leave on the table so when they come back you're ready for a new one . The food is great , and the music is perfect with the vibe! Would recommend for parties , pre gaming , or even just to go on a date night.

Amazing drinks, food is alright, but not the best customer service. The place has great potential.

They don't understand their market. Full of Colombians after a Colombia-Costa Rica game and they play the same reggaeton song for 30 min straight. The good songs, they play x1.5 with weird mixes. Cool spot. DJ, completely terrible. Recommend going across the street. This place is terrible.

asty lavender lemon drop, delicious nachos, and great service! We love the vibe and all the options.

We checked out bodega on a sunny Sunday this past weekend. When we arrived we were seated immediately. The place was not busy at all. First issue, the chairs are unnatural short. LOL the table is a lot higher than the tables. I felt like a child sitting in an adult chair. The table was literally up to my chest (I'm 5'3) it was a weird feeling for sure and made eating a little uncomfortable. I felt like my chin was resting on the table. The ambiance is super cool! It gives Miami vibes for sure. It was bright and colorful and the neon sign in the back was really cool. The service was a little slow, for the place to not be packed at all, it took a really long time to place our orders. We both order drinks, I got the disco bird and my partner got the paradise. The drinks were good but extremely sweet. I could only have one and I usually try at least two cocktails at dinner. The drink was cute but for the price it could've been bigger. Also drinking out of the bird with the large swizzle straw was awkward, it kept dripping everywhere and coupled with the high table I had to bring the drink down to my lap to take a sip! We ordered the black bean taquitos, the pesto sandwich with no chicken (my partner is vegetarian) and I got the chicken tinga bowl. The taquitos were flavorless, lacked salt and flavor. My partner enjoyed the pesto sandwich but said the fries were giving "school lunch" they also lacked salt and flavor. The chicken tinga was good but nothing to write home about. The plantains were good and so was the chicken but overall the food was BLAH. They also had little to no vegetarian or vegan options. I would come back here for drinks and sit at the bar. Hopefully the other cocktails aren't as sweet!

Bodega's website description: Step into an electric oasis as you enter the pink doors of Bodega, a Cuban-inspired restaurant with specialty cocktails & dishes sure to bring excitement to your palette. From brunch to nightlife, you can escape at Bodega anytime of the day. My husband is Cuban and from Miami. Was thrilled to find Bodega to surprise him with since the number of Cuban restaurants are slim here in the Phoenix area. The food here is mediocre and overpriced. The pork which is a Cuban staple was bland and tasted days old - best part of their Cuban bowl was the plantains. Cuban sandwich decent. Kiddo had a grilled cheese which got a two thumbs up. After paying my husband pulled the manager aside to share that the restaurant doesn't feel authentic and was told this is Hispanic restaurant vs a Cuban restaurant... really? Has he read their website? Manager seemed defensive when my husband was only trying to be helpful as a Cuban from Miami. My husband is offended and said they're not properly representing Cuban food. "Cuban" items on Bodega's menu: Cuban Beef Cigars Cuban Nachos Cuban Mojo Pork Cubano Roasted Turkey Cubano Cuban Pork bowl Cuban Pasta Salad Coconut Rice & Cuban Black Beans The music is way too loud (630P on a Sunday night), couldn't hear my group, unauthentic food, slow service. Won't be back. If you're looking for good and actual Cuban food check out Coabana in downtown Phoenix. This place is great for drinks and loud music and that's about it.

This location has been open just short of one month. They got a lot of things right and a few things very wrong. The decor, menu and atmosphere are all on point! The menu is fun and impressive and the food noteworthy. So how does a seemingly great restaurant rate a mediocre review?? We were drawn to the entrance of Bodega at West Gate by the Floridian Cubano smells and upbeat music emanating from inside. I swear I smelled sunshine and coconut sunscreen. They clearly put a lot of thought into the decor. From the neon lit signs on the wall to the wrap around booth seating covered in alligator faux leather you get all of the Key West vibes. Service was friendly and apprised. So what went wrong? The grossly sticky floors while a forgivable offense carried into the unkept bathroom. Is it just me or does anyone else expect the loo to be clean & functioning properly at the establishments they eat at? The major downer was when we received the bill. We were prepared to splurge, it was our 20th Anniversary mind you but every. single. Item. was up charged by $1-$5 which added up quickly and felt a bit sneaky. Knowing the establishment was newly opened we gently brought it to our servers attention. She sputtered an indiscernible excuse and "took our bill to management". When she brought it back to our table she had a different reason for the "mix up" saying it was "a system error". Unfortunately, our bill was still incorrect. BUZZ KILL!!! We paid and left. Hopefully they figure this system error/menu misprint/whatever out quickly. It sure did feel like they were trying to pull a fast one. Uncool. Bottom line? Definite 5+ star potential but you have to earn it first.

Well, we went back!! We started with the Empanadas, again. They were just as good as last time, but this time, there was a little more filling...thank you!! For my entree, I decided to try the Balsamic Blueberry Grilled Cheese Sandwich...I just HAD to!! It was actually quite good! It was perfectly grilled on sourdough bread with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, whole blueberries and a balsamic drizzle over the top of the bread. They also include spinach, but I nixed that...not a spinach fan. The sandwich was very tasty...the balsamic had a sweet, acidic taste and the whole blueberries added a fun texture, as well as a little pop of sweetness and freshness. Honestly, I barely tasted the prosciutto and wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't there. Hubby got the Crispy Skin Salmon dish with a potato medley. He really liked the salmon a lot, but unfortunately, they put a sauce over the top of it, so the crispy skin became quite soggy. Other than that, he really enjoyed it and liked the cook on the potatoes, as well. We had another good experience here and there's some other items on their menu we'd really like to try. Looking forward to heading back for some more interesting food...and those empanadas!!!!

On A busy Friday night at Westgate during the Final 4 in Glendale Bodega was very inviting and not over crowded. I understand the concept of a Bodega. Seated at the bar, we quickly ordered waters to combat the thirst and checked out the menu. I wanted a wine and theoretically that's the purpose of the bodega. None to be had at this bodega. The bartender sheepishly acknowledged that there was no wine to be had. This bodega concept in Westgate imitating a Miami beach bodega is out of place and out of luck.

Really nice vibey place. Food came out quick. Outside they had a sign for Happy Hour (which really attracted us to come on in) only to find out once we were seated that they would not be honoring the happy hour sign due to an event that was taking place later on that evening. I found that sign to be very misleading. The manager however was gracious enough to give our party a discount on our bill so that was much appreciated. The inside of this place is decked out in Cuban inspired decor, drinks are so creative and tasty. Our waitress was very courteous and attentive. Check this place out.

Horrible place to go and have some fun, super expensive bottles for waitress to take so long to serve you each drink for a party of 14 people. The lock the bottles that you bought, and server has to come every time to unlock for you to drink some. Fridays said Latin music but was not Latin music at all. Not going back to this club, customer service was also not the greatest.

Found this place on tiktok and I'm so glad I stopped by! Theres is seating on the patio with large tvs if you want to dine outside when the weather is nice. When we were seated at out table, our waitress was quick to take our orders. The food came out very fast and it didn't disappoint!! I loved the empanadas so much that I ordered them to go. The drinks were not only big, but delicious. The service was great, the bathrooms were clean, and they offer happy hour!!

Bodega is spacious, a great spot to watch football, and service was great. These are the pros. The cons - the food was over priced, and based on what we had, wasn't very good. The mimosas were a disappointment as well. It's served with glitter and there's a thick consistency to it. Doubt I ever visit again.

0/10 the service was TERRIBLE and our server was so rude...on top of that a vodka soda was $22.00. The server was extremely untimely, and quite frankly rude. She cleaned off a table, used the restroom, and didn't wash her hands afterwards.

The vibe of this place is super cute and fun for a girls night out. We went during a Wednesday evening and it was practically empty which made the service great. I ordered the cubano and didn't expect much since it was something simple but was pleasantly surprised. We also ordered the nachos and it was a huge portion. Would definitely go back and order the same thing.

The cali sushi stack is GOLD! Bodega was an unexpected vibe. We had a Top Golf reservation at 5pm & wanted to kill some time, so we came to Bodega. The colors & lighting were giving Miami Ocean Drive. The entire restaurant is extremely aesthetic with photo ops everywhere. They have an extensive drink menu which includes an entire cocktail in a miniature tub. I would love to come back & try some more food options. The manager was super friendly & told us they turn into a club on the weekends. Definitely a great place to check out if you are in the West Valley!

I loveeeeeeee their drinks here. So cute and delicious. The nachos are also amazing. They're huge and so good! I've had some bowls as an entree and they aren't that great to me. But this place is good for drinks and apps. Service was good!

Everything from the ambiance, aesthetic, food and cocktails was great! Highly recommend coming here

With so many other food choices. Go elsewhere!!! Unfortunately this is another restaurant in Westgate that won't last. Extremely expensive for what you get - we got the Cuban cigars - you get 4 small pieces of ground beef fried in a won ton wrapper ... I also got the breakfast burrito. Nothing special there except the pork was flavored well. I had asked for salsa on the side since the burrito came out somewhat dry. They charged me $3 for a small cup of salsa. The waitress even changed my bill to add the extra $6 for the 2 salsa in 1 ounce containers. Salsa were nothing special.. it was $111 for 2 adults and 1 child for brunch. I got a beer and my wife got a $5 mimosa

If your looking for a good place with craft cocktails this is your place to try. The drinks are amazing, prices are reasonable and a great selection of music. A good place to grab drinks with your girls or brunch. Highly recommend

Very cute place.. the decor is def a vibe.. the chairs are a little hard that metal is not comfortable y'all might want to invest in some cushions.. and why are the chairs so low to the ground.. if you have bad knees it's either seats super low to the ground or one's super high where your feet hang. Not a lot of comfort, unless you select a booth. I wish I could do like two and a half stars. My bestie and I were so excited to go we discovered this place on IG and wanted to try a new place and based on this video we saw.. we liked the vibes! So we finally make it there after like a month of talking about it. We're seated and that was it we literally sat there for a good 40 mins without being asked if we even wanted water, we almost walked out until a waitress came over and apologized said there had been some confusion between waiters and they were going to take care of our first drink for the inconvenience. OK cool so I go to order the drink I've been looking forward to getting and they don't have that drink.. apparently it's not available. Such a bummer. Not only this but some of the waitresses behavior was unprofessional.. grabbing asses and not washing hands lady with the blue hair! Just nasty. Too much socializing between staff and not enough working. The food and the drinks I did get were very good which is why I gave them some stars! I don't think I'll be back again.. like I said the food was good! Just don't expect stellar service!

Food and service were very good. The cocktail menu is interesting and creative. My empanada was perfect. Music was too loud for lunch time.

Decided to stop at this location for a quick drink prior to going to the hotel after graduation, what a waste of time. Not even busy and it took FOREVER to get a beverage. Club vibe scene, good music.

Atmosphere was good. We sat outside. If I was in the area I'd eat there again, but it's not a place id crave and commute to.

Ordered a gin dirty martini. Server said they don't have olive juice. Okay no problem. Ordered a Cadillac margarita. Drink show up but wait no Grand Marnier floater. Asked the not very nice bartender if they can please add the Grand Marnier floater to make it an actual Cadillac. She said it is a Cadillac but "we" used Cointreau because we don't have Grand Marnier. And they are the same thing. Ah wait a minute I have been drinking longer than you have been alive. Cointreau and Grand Marnier are totally different. Cointreau is the result of sugar beet alcohol while Grand Marnier relies on cognac and bitter oranges. Sorry as a bartender you need to know your craft better. At the end she was rude and didn't give two shits. I guarantee this establishment won't be around for next years game.

Terrible food, terrible service, and just absolute trash. The prices are outrageous for the quality of food. We were the only ones in the restaurant and it took over 20 mins to get a waitress over to us.

We came to west gate to restaurant hop for a date night. We started off at Bodega to grab drinks and apps. We ended up only grabbing a drink and it took 20+ minutes. The drinks were decent and one cane in a bathtub with Lil ducks which was very fun. My main issue was with the food. I am gluten intolerant and items that were marked as gluten free or not on the menu seemed opposite from what it should be. The nachos and guacamole were not gluten free but the pasta and garlic bread were? It led me to not trust the menu because I was afraid of getting sick so we went elsewhere for an appetizer. Also just about everything is about $18-25 just a heads up both drinks and food.

Extremely disappointed given the fact that this was my third time coming here just never for the food. For what the ' brunch ' menu is overpriced food. Chilaquiles - came out extremely soggy. We had ordered something else off the menu it never arrived so we just decided to cancel it instead. The services was awful : our server was chatting around at a table with other servers AND in the back. Failed to follow up with the the food , nor what was missing still. Or simply checking in. Truly disappointed in the fact that we weren't even acknowledged given the fact that it wasn't even packed It was around 11:00 am. No excuse why we shouldn't be asked how we are doing. The drink menu has always been a creative menu that's what really has brought us to Bodega in the first place but after this experience pretty disappointed in the service and quality and price of food.

The food is amazing. The service was amazing. The ceaser salad and nachos were way more than we can eat! Carne asada tacos were very tasty. The drinks are so yummy also! We would definitely come back here!!!

Cane here for brunch for the 1st time. It was ok, mimosas and the espresso martini was food. The avocado toast plate was very bland, do not recommend at all. I had the Turkey Cabano sandwich and it was good. Service was good, restaurant is clean. Too many better options available in the area, so I doubt I will go back. Nothing really made me want to come back. Cubano

Loved the Cuban flair on the food choices! Definitely loved the Guacamole Trio! Also the cocktail list is so fun & creative. a must end dessert would be the Pineapple Creme Brulee. Great patio and loved watching the fountains. Inside decor is great and a little less loud. Restrooms are super cute and clean. Our server was very attentive and did a great job making our visit one that will have us returning soon.

Group of us went and enjoyed happy hour and an early dinner. The decor was fun and upbeat. Our waitress was wonderful, patient and very helpful with this group of 15. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and their sandwiches or meals were very good. The Cubano sandwich. I can't wait to go back and get another one. If you order the nachos, make sure it's to share. It is such a huge plate with so much food. There was a very interesting sushi item that two of our group ordered and they both loved it. We will be going back soon.

Food an drinks were great. Music playing brings me back to the Caribbean. At night is turns into a night club. If you are interested in that sort of thing.

The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 is because I was lied to on the price off the champagne bottle I asked the waitress twice how much was it,once while I waited for my party and twice when my party got there, both times she said it was $35 and even recommended it would be better since it was only 2 of us,when the bill came it was $45 for each bottle which is fine but when I told the waitress that she told me different she denied it and said she told me she never told me that which is not true. I don't care if the bottle was 35,45 or $1000. What I care about is the principal, don't lie about your prices as a waitress you should know what everything costs when a client asks you, that's all overall the food was good. Don't lie it makes you look bad ..
