La Bodega Express — Restaurant in Pecos

We spent one night in Pecos as we traveled home to Tucson. Once we arrived in town, as we started searching for local restaurant options & their ratings, we lowered our expectations for dinner. Then we stumbled on La Bodega, which had the best ratings of any other local restaurant we checked, and decided to give it a try. WOW! The salsa that came with the chips was awesome, with just the right amount of spice. I got a lemonade drink and discovered it was home made & not too sweet, which I like. We each ended up with taco plates (one carne asada, one adobada), and we both loved our food. The borracho beans and spanish rice that came with the taco plates were also delicious. We saw a steady stream of locals going in and out of the restaurant as we dined, which is further testimony that this is a good restaurant. The service was wonderful. We highly recommend La Bodega, and would absolutely...

We tried to stop a few other quick places first (donut shop, and a food truck) that said they were open and weren't, and ended up finding the closest place that was open, here... and boy am I glad those other places were closed! The service was amazing. The food was fantastic. I left completely STUFFFED with lots still left on my plate (and without a stomach ache, which is a rare thing when I eat mexican food). I even took an agua fresca to go - and was handed the biggest cup I've ever seen in my life lol.

Only downfall was that it was set up with cheaper cafeteria style tables/chairs for larger parties and it's a very tiny tiny dining room... so we felt a little awkward having a massive table for 2 people when there was no where for anyone else who walked in to sit. Worth it...

I got taco de pastor to go, called in the order and it was ready in ten minutes when I got there. I used the restroom when I arrived and the restroom was super clean, looked clean and smelled super clean. The dinning room was the same, very clean and only 3 tables were being used when I arrived. Food was delicious, tacos de pastor were awesome, the rice was also very good and the beans were awesome too, I wish I could have gotten more beans it was a small portion in my to go box, probably to keep it from spilling out. Recommend this mexican restaurant...
