Good panini style Cuban! For a warm Cuban (especially on a night accompanied by alcohol) this hit the spot. I am a bit unsure of what is added to a Cuban, but this did not have mustard. Great flavor, good bread, served hot. Would go back. Ordered at the window, service was friendly but felt the place itself felt dirty and tables were unclean outside. Got mine with pickles on the side which was nice of them. Friend had her half with pickles
We were looking forward to trying Bodega after reading good reviews but we were really disappointed. We sat outside and tables looked like they haven't been cleaned whole day or more. You order at the window and they bring you your food. After a long wait, we got our Cuban and another chicken sandwich. While Cuban was very mediocre compared to other places in the area, the chicken sandwich tasted suspiciously like peppers only. I opened it up to find barely any chicken on it. We left pretty unsatisfied and had to eat elsewhere after. I do not recommend them.
Everything on the menu is great. Jicama salad amazing! I still think about it.
Food has been hit or miss lately, this was probably the last straw. My Cuban was burnt and pic is of Cuban after me scraping off the bottom burnt pieces. I got plate dish as well but that was just ok. Beans were dry tasting and chicken was a bit rubbery. There’s a lot of other good places to eat on central, I would recommend those. It’s sad to see the quality go down.
The Cubano is a big sandwich. Consider splitting it. Super garlicky
I have come back Bogeda for the 3rd time and am satisfied every time. They make unbeatable, delicous authentic cuban food.I love the original Frita most, the flavor is well-balanced, and the texture is beautiful. DO NOT modify anything or the dish will be messed up.
Quite a jewel of a place for a relaxed bite. The best Cuban sandwich we have had in a long time, and we are cuban. Like Miami in the 70's. Everything was perfect - the bread, the pork, the sweet ham, the swiss cheese, the pickles and the pressing. Worth driving there just for the sandwich. The sides are great, maduros, rice&beans and the sweet&spicy slaw. Can't go wrong with a Cuba Libre (mentirita) with Havana Club, mexican coke and lime.
The Cuban sandwich used to be the best in town, but now it's a soggy, soaking, greasy mess that leaves me and everyone in the household with a belly ache after eating.
Their platos and sandwiches are delicious! The sweet & spicey slaw, fried plantains, rice and their version of the spicy mayo are great. We had to order from the outside and wait for our names to be called when our orders were ready. They have a couple one-stall bathrooms in the back. The vibe is nice and modern. The restaurant is in a great spot on the main street. I'd definitely come here more!
Fellow New Yorker here. Skeptical of the hype at first. Showed up for lunch. BOOM. Flavor punching sandwich. Amazing. Worth the hype. Won’t be disappointed. Outdoor seating was dirty and can be cleaned more frequently.
