They have a chips and salsa bar so you can try out a bunch of different sauces/salsas. Enjoyed the chance to try out the different sauces, they were great! We finished with the churro bites. They come with a caramel dipping sauce. They were warm and delicious! Highly recommend ordering those to wrap your meal.

The avocado salsa and the red chili de arbol were my favorites. Order: taco Tuesday special. 3 street tacos for $7. Carne asada taco was seasoned perfectly. Good char with nice texture. Good bite on its own but with the two salsas it was amazing! Definitely order it. Al pastor. Marinade was good not great. Little cubes of pineapple added nice sweetness. The meat texture was a little chewy that even the salsas could not save. I would pass. Lengua. Good taste. Good texture. Great with the salsas. I would order again. Overall: Great place for your taco fix. The complimentary chips and salsa bar are the perfect cherry on top.

The authenticity of the food here is a real treat.

Three sauces accompany the flautas: a mild red, creamy spicy green, and a hot sauce that is no joke. All the veggies give a crisp, fresh burst of flavor with the crunchy chicken roll. It was accompanied by refried beans and yellow rice. I ordered the kid's nachos with a side of beans. They were what you'd expect for kids; thin, crisp tortilla chips covered in melted shredded cheese. As it cools, however, it congeals into a sheet that slides right off the chips. Not a problem for cheese loving kiddos as they just ripped off chunks of cheese to devour with the chips. Yum!

The Street Tacos looked good, but the meat was dry and flavorless. I like juicy, flavorful street tacos where you don't need any salsa. The one (of three) that I ate wasn't improved by their red salsa. The small bag of chips came with a few salsa options but none were particularly good; the red one was ok, the white one tasted like mayonnaise, and the green creamy avocado one was super sweet. No bueno. The chips were stale and unsalted. Finally the Nachos Super were pretty good. The meat was seasoned, plenty of cheese, and a huge portion. I managed about half of it, but added my own taco sauce. I started with this dish and forgot to take a photo.

My second favorite was the chicken with some amazing reduction of some sort, love! The olives were just becuase I was hungry and I knew they would come out fast.

The bathroom was cute. The service was fast, olives minutes after we ordered, my favorite two dishes 12 minutes after ordering and paella, 12 minutes after that. The owner Rene was the server and he was very efficient for 6 pm on the Friday before the 4th of July with him the only one waiting on tables in the smallish (10 tables?) restaurant.

It was not great. The problem? I think it was because owner/chef Rene Ruiz Olivar was acting as waiter, not chef. We gave Sr. Ruiz the freedom to choose our tapas, with one exception, the black ink pasta with scallops and shrimp (Tinta Negra) that reviewers have raved about. He said, no problema--he would serve it. Then he must have forgotten because we never got it. The first tapa served, almond-crusted manchego (Almendrado), was plated prettily and was delicious but oh-so-sweet. It was an odd choice for a starter, would have been better as the finale in case nobody ordered dessert. Soon came a lamb tapa (Cordero). The lamb chops' quality was uncertain as the meat was severely overcooked. El Bodegon's langoustines (Gambas al Ajillo) had given every bit of their sea flavor to the sauce, which was magnificent, we all agreed. But where were the dish's promised mussels, the rice? One shared plate, a beef tenderloin tapa (Carne Brava), had apparently lingered too long in the kitchen--the meat was nearly cold. I adore papas bravas (Patatas Bravas). I must have had the dish a dozen times or more during my last trip to Spain, in 2017, when I visited friends who live in Ronda. During my six-week stay, we toured Andalucia, staying at hotels in large cities and visiting small towns. I also spent time sola in Madrid and Barcelona. Unlike in Spain, El Bodegon's potatoes were diced to death. Never in Spain have I ever had patatas bravas that were not substantial in size. All in all, I found the vegetables accompanying the tapas unrecognizable except for the tiny Brussels sprouts. The rest seemed chopped up or stirred to pieces in the pan. Some of my friends had churros for their dessert. They deemed them appropriately hot and tasty. My dessert was cheesecake torte, decked out with a candle as it was my 90th birthday. The torte was a gold-star winner. It was absolutely delicious, its plating the most successful of the evening. It was so perfect it almost made up for the sub-par tapas that preceded it. One of us had a view of the kitchen from his seat at the table. He saw a man other than the chef/owner doing the cooking. Was he a trainee? Did Sr. Ruiz help with the plating? God knows he didn't have a lot patrons to contend with in his role as waiter. It was a slow weeknight, and there were never more than four tables occupied. I sincerely regret that our time at El Bodegon differs from so many reviewers. Like them, I want to see Sr. Ruiz's little restaurant succeed. He has a hard row to hoe, and I hope a disappointing dinner like ours does not befall anyone else going forward.
