    The masas de puerco and mojitos far exceeded my expectations! Here for work and hoping we get to come back before it’s time to leave!

    This place was so noisy that we couldn’t hear each other without yelling. Music was as loud as some of the rock concerts I have attended. And service - we sat for 20 minutes and noone asked if we wanted drinks or food. We got up and left.

    Great food as usual. Service with a smile every time our waitress was wonderful. I’ve never been here and not liked what we have gotten.

    The 100% original Cuban flavor in Kentucky. I've been visiting this wonderful place for 5 years, and I don't think I'll ever stop.

    The food was delicious. The service was amazing. We had a hearing impaired individual and they went above and beyond to help us find a seat that was better so our friend could hear the conversation. Highly recommended

    We dined here last summer while on vacation and vowed to return.I bought my wife a gift card at Christmas with the intention of requiring us to return ; ) Oh my, this was even better! The food, the ambience, and our server were absolutely the best. I guess we have to return AGAIN - sooner than later!

    My husband and I got the Churrasco and the Picanha dishes—both steak. They were phenomenal! We also got Camarones al Ajillo (shrimp appetizer) and the tropical salad (online it is listed and “Crunchy Mexican”). The salad was amazing! It was really refreshing and citrusy. The shrimp appetizer wasn’t worth the money to us, as it was only 5 shrimp for a high price. We would highly recommend La Bodeguita to anyone, especially for a special date night.
