First time here and it was a good experience. I'm from Los Angeles so I love Latin cuisines and…read morethis spot did a great job on all levels. Food: The food was good and had flavor, the presentation and portions were not bad. The starters were small so be sure to order multiples for larger groups. The fresh oysters were really good, the paella was really good and large in portion size great table shareable or as a entree. The cheese board had a really good variety of cheeses and crackers with some fruit. That was a nice little gem on the menu. They do serve alcohol but could be a little more consistency on the pours. Two of the same drinks tasted completely different and they do have a wine section. Service: The staff was nice and quickly provided seating for our large group of 10 people. Our waiter was great! He took orders checked on us and provided some really good feedback on menu items when asked. Thank you, Atmosphere: I love the decor! It was rustic with hand pai ted murals and gave a artistic vibe to our experience. However, I was not a fan of the metal tables, it felt to industrial and the tables were off balance as well. The size of the table were also interacting as they seemed really skinny and most likely ment for smaller groups like 2 people. The ceiling at La Bodega was the best part of the decor. It was such a great twist on smearing colors together. Price: Coming from Los Anegeles I thought the prices were right on targetand fit with the portion sizes. Location: It's located in Kansas City Mousori. Parking: We ubered to the restaurant but parking did look to be tight on the street side not sure if they have another lot in the back.

The flavor of the chicken was good and the dipping sauce also had an amazing flavor. I wish i could've given them a better review and I hope they do better.

The food was outstanding -- full of authentic flavor and cooked perfectly. The waitress was excellent; she knew the menu very well and made great recommendations. The restaurant was very clean, the prices were fair, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. As a chef, it's hard for me to visit a place and not find something wrong, but this is one restaurant that truly checked every box. It was a great experience from start to finish -- highly recommended!

Saw lots of couples - maybe this a the local date night spot?? Popped in on a Saturday evening. No reservation needed. Started with the garlic bread and chicken samosas. Both were delish. The samosas were stuffed full of chicken. The green sauce was tasty too. Lots of seafood, chicken, beef and pork entrees. I was not familiar with some of the fish entrees. It's a big menu and almost all of it is in Spanish. So I went with what Genevieve our server recommended. The chicken breast with onions and peppers. It's sounds plain but it was full of flavor and served with black beans and rice. I substituted plantains for tostones. The tostones were meh. My dinner companion ordered the chimichurri steak. It also came with black beans, white rice and plantains. She said it was delicious. They also serve paella - which I really wanted to try but they entree is for 2 or more. Some of the fish items are kinda spendy. But the other meat items are in the $20 or less range. In addition to soda and lemonade, they serve margaritas and beer. I ordered a skinny margarita and it tasted watered down. So next time I'll ask for no ice. For dessert we tried the churros. Not bad. The service was great. I'll definitely come back to try some of the seafood entrees.

You get the best of both worlds here. The place has so much seating!!! Lots of tvs and a pool table in the back area. Our food was really good - so flavorful! Hubby and I easily shared one dinner and had more than enough. It will be fun to go back and continue to try more items on their menu.

Hubs ordered the Rum punch and I had the Hibiscus Mojito. The drinks were very good. For starters, we had the crab cakes and the shrimp. Both were delicious. For our meals, we both ordered the Lamb Tibs. I'm not a fan of injera personally, but that didn't take away from the meal. It was so good and full of flavor. If I had to critique anything it was cabbage was a little mushy. I gather the potatoes made it that way since they basically disintegrated in my mouth. Not a bad place and I'm sure we will be back!

4 minutes ago New Was…read moreexcited to try this restaurant as it has many great reviews but was very disappointed. We ordered our food and about 15 min later they came back and said they were out of oxtails. 2 people in our party had to order something else. Another 10-15min pass and they bring out only one order from our party of four and said everything else will be out soon. At this point more time has passed and they come back out saying they are out of ribs. Which again 2 people had ordered that in our party. I decided not to choose anything else to eat because they were probably going to be out of that also and we've already been waiting a long time. So I'm confused about what they were doing in the back that whole time for 20 plus min before saying something. They open at 5pm and our reservation was at 6:30 and it was not busy so no reason they should be out of a lot of things and not know that ahead of time before letting people order. For the two people in our party who did get to eat the portions are not worth the price.
