Bodega Esquina Gastronómica — Restaurant in Caguas

Visited yesterday with my family. At first the ambience was very good and employees more than willing to give you a great experience.

Unfortunately the value of the money is less than ideal. Ordered the grilled octopus and a daily special tartare. The octopus was very savory but for $22.00. We got like 6 pieces of octopus and 10 pieces of breakfast potatoes. The Tartare ($26) flavor was very bland and did not included any type of toasts or crackers . I have had much better at local food trucks.

For main course Ordered the braised lamb ($30)and short ribs ($40). Half of the lamb was fridge cold which made us think this was re-heated food and the short ribs was nothing special for $40 which included some sort of mash with with no flavor.

When the server asked how was the food we gave them feedback and asked for the bill. No apologies and not even the restaurant manager came by to inquire more about the dissatisfaction.

Bill even included a 4.00 tap water service really ???

We are local customers and always sponsor local restaurants and hearing this one was a new venture for a chef that used to have a local food truck we were looking for a top notch experience.

I wouldn’t return to this restaurant nor recommend. You can get much better quality food elsewhere at...

A Memorable Anniversary Celebration at Bodega

Our visit to Bodega for our 6th wedding anniversary surpassed all expectations, thanks to Bodega’s exceptional culinary creations and the outstanding service provided by our food-connoisseur waitress, Julie. Her deep knowledge of the menu and each dish's intricate elements added an unexpected dimension to our dining experience.

Beginning with the Fried Rabbit, Bodega showcased a mastery of flavors and textures that immediately set a high standard. The Grilled Octopus followed suit, perfectly cooked to a tender perfection with a delightful smoky essence.

The Deer Steak was a true highlight, expertly prepared to highlight the natural richness of the meat, complemented by thoughtful seasoning. Each dish was a testament to Bodega’s dedication to both innovation and tradition in the culinary arts.

As a sweet conclusion, the Foie Gras Doughnuts with Chocolate Ganache provided a decadent and memorable dessert. The delicate balance of flavors and textures was a fitting end to a spectacular meal.

Overall, our anniversary celebration at Bodega was elevated by Chef Luis Díaz culinary expertise and Julie's attentive service. The combination of exquisite dishes and impeccable hospitality made this evening truly...

I decided to visit this restaurant while on vacation, and I’m so glad I did! I absolutely loved the service, the atmosphere, and the great location. I ordered the short ribs not my usual pick but I wanted to try something new.

The ribs were cooked to perfection, but they weren’t exactly finger-licking good. The seasoning was a bit heavy on the salt, which overpowered some of the other flavors. It reminded me of a high-end version of A1 sauce bold, but missing a touch of balance. I would have preferred a bit more of a sweet and savory harmony to elevate the dish.

On the other hand, the croquetas were exquisite perfectly crisp and flavorful. Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back for the wonderful service, warm atmosphere, and...
