This review is based on the pork rinds you can find here. These are the best you will find in SoFlo! You have to go into La Bodega and walk towards the back on the left hand side to get your hands on these chicharrones! The location has been open for as far back as I remember and the chicharrones always slap (as the kids say now). I'm not even big on pork rinds and will eat these. I recommend trying to come earlier in the morning as it's less busy during this time. I've come here at different times throughout the years and have waited in line sometimes but never when it's early morning. Just to let you guys know how good they are, I have family from Central America that specifically request these chicharrones as it's also the best they have had. It's worth the drive if you like pork rinds! read more

La Bodega Bestway Supermarket - the outside of the store - Grocery Near Me - Miami, Florida

great place to buy prepapred food for your party . Lechon , arroz congri , yuca or chicharron are very good !

Don't get me wrong; the food and products are great, the best "chicharrón" in Miami. I've been visiting the place for years, but lately I don't know if the original owner sold the business; the personnel working there now is SO RUDE!!!! I live in Hollywood, and work at PortMiami; when I get off early I used to go west to get there from the port, (some 20 miles) and then back home north east (some 25 more miles) just to get the chicharrones, but should I do that and spend my money where people treat you like S#*.t? No thanks. read more

Great place! Long standing family business. Organized and clean! Super fresh fruits and vegetables with a huge variety. The best Cuban food in the area. There was a a line of people waiting to order delicious Cuban food, but the line moved fast and the staff was helpful and accommodating. The blonde lady at the lottery register is the best! She is always super sweet. You have to go to this place if you are looking for authentic Cuban food with great service! read more

The best Barrigada (roast pork) in Miami as well as Paletas (Holiday Roast pork). Flavor is unbelievable and the crispy pork rinds (chicharrones) from the above are unforgettable! read more

This is the third time I have used La Bodega for our catering needs. Lazaro,and his staff prepared food for 150:people each time with three different menus. Each time his food was delicious ,plentiful prepared on time and the price was extremely reasonable. I will continue to use La Bodega for my catering needs and would highly recommend them for all your catering needs read more

Delicious chicharrones. Order them at the meat counter in the back. I got some pieces that got cold and they were a bit dry but the pieces that were hot were amazing. I ate 1/2 lb by myself and then I went back and got some more. Each lb is only 6.99. I did get teased by the checkout lady for ordering a second time but I got no shame. You are what you eat, right? This is a full on supermarket so they got all kinds of goodies. I got some spices for cheap! The service was friendly and they'll speak English to you if they see you struggling like I did. read more

La Bodega Bestway Supermarket - Delicious, even better when it's hot with some lime and hot sauce - Grocery Near Me - Miami, Florida

I read the review that said that the place had changed its owner and other words that described this site. I ignored it and went to see the site because they recommended it to me. What delicious food and what an excellent atmosphere. I asked one of the cashiers if they had changed owners and she said no. They are still the same Cubans who founded it, by the way the cashier is Venezuelan and she took care of me super nice that she even went to look for a product that I couldn't find, the other workers seemed very polite too. I recommend it 100% and its prices are the same as other places. read more

I like going here for the pork rind! Even though I don't go that often, they always provide a good services.

Their food by the pound is delicious. They have fresh avocados from the owners farm. They were ripe and ready to eat. The chicharrones and fried Yuka chips amazing. We went two days in a row to get food because it was that good. They also make a great barigada, which is pork. read more

I was yesterday and the two cashiers asked me to put the basket back.i can't believe it.i am the customer...is not the customer duty to do that.the venezuelan cashier don't greet customers...i don't know her name.but she is very rude. read more

Best Place Ever!!!! It's very Organized and Clean. And great Food, especially the chicharonnes.

This bodega has been in the same location for about 30 years...but the owners are now Venezuelans. I know the place very well. It has changed dramatically for the worst!!! The place was owned by Cubans for many years and it was very popular in the early 90's, the 2000's and until about a couple of years ago. The place was known and continues to be known for their fried pork bellys which was the former Cuban owner specialty. The Venezuelans that took over the place treat people like shit. The cashiers have no manners whatsoever and are very rude. This was a very popular and nice little bodega. It has completely changed for the worst under the new Venezuelan ownership. Oh!!! By the way be careful if you drop something by mistake even a bag of chips in an aisle the cashiers will come at you and tell you to put it back in place and basically bite u if they could. Furthermore, their prices have risen dramatically. Any bag of cheap chips is 7 bucks. Everything is super expensive. I know that prices have risen everywhere but what goes on there is pure robbery. Don't get me wrong, I am not Cuban. I am Nicaraguan as a matter of fact. But the Venezuelans that took over this business know nothing but nothing about this community. This is for the most part a hard working community of Cubans and Nicaraguans. The prices are for people that live in Coral Gables. Please bring back the former Cuban owner or at least someone familiar with the community!!!! read more

First things first...best chicharrones ever! This place is not pretty, it is your typical tiny neighborhood store. But if you squeeze through the isles you will find amazing home cooked food in the back for a ridiculous price. For about $8-10 you will get a meat and two sides. I can usually eat from the same meat twice and be full. I work close by and I am making it a point to try it all. So far I have been happily satisfied with the congri, fried rice, fried fish, ox tail, garbanzo beans, beef soup, ajiaco, vaca frita (shredded meat, no sauce), fufu/mofongo (mashed plantain), and the cod fritters. All absolutely delicious. The corn fritters were not impressive. But other than that if you want legit cuban food for two at the price of one this is your place! The staff is also very friendly :) read more

There's only been two times in my life I've cried real, Gods-honest tears in my life: when I smashed my front teeth on a McDonald's sidewalk when I was 5, and Thanksgiving '15 weekend when I heard this place had caught fire and had to close down. Luckily for all life on Earth the closure was only temporary. The meat counter at La Bodega Bestway Supermarket is a fat Cuban's dream. The self-styled La Casa Del Chicharron De Puerco is known for having the best chicharrones in Miami (thus the universe), and it's a much deserved reputation. While you can find "good enough" chicharrones at other places what makes La Bodega Bestway Supermarket the best is consistent excellence. Other places can be hit or miss depending on the day but in all the years I've been coming here I can't recall ever having been handed a bad batch of chicharrones. Every chicharron comes with an almost perfect ratio of meat to glorious fat with just enough grease to coat my taste buds without drenching my beard; and the skin toasted to crunchy perfection. But that's not the only thing they have going on. The mariquitas are so fire that they very well could have been the cause of the Thanksgiving 2015 shutdown. One bite of these mariquitas and you will immediately drive to Publix to fight the stock boy putting those pre-packaged National Foods-brand "mariquitas" on the chip-aisle shelf (which you shouldn't because it's not his fault...he just works there...politely ask for the manager and fight him/her instead). There's also a huge assortment of other foods at the counter including masitas de puerco seemingly made from God's own stock of porkers, and fufú that will make you swear off mashed potatoes forever. TL;DR: The meat counter at this place is a dream. Get a pound of everything and clear your calendar for a week. read more
