“ Stopped by Bodega for some Spanish tapas and left with mixed feelings. The place itself is really cool--lots of character, with a strong Spanish vibe that makes it feel like a little escape from DC. Definitely a fun spot to grab a drink and share some small plates. Tried a few dishes: potatoes, lamb chops, chicken skewers, and roasted peppers. The lamb chops were super flavorful and cooked just right. The roasted peppers were surprisingly good, a bit unexpected but tasty. The potatoes were well-seasoned but nothing great. The chicken skewers, were a letdown--they had a lot of potential but ended up being a bit too tough and lacked flavors even with the sauce. Service was quick and friendly, which is always a plus and ended up staying for 3 hours. ”

“ I am sitting at the bar right now. The Caipirinhas were very well made. I started with dátiles con tocino and sepia a la plancha which were exquisite. Eager to try another tapa, I had the lamb chops. Wow. If you are passing by, you won't go wrong stopping here! ”

“ INCREDIBLE experience!! Came with four people, one of whom has a severe dairy intolerance. The staff was so great about knowing which tapas on the table were some she could eat or at least enough to know she should avoid. Everyone we met was kind, friendly and so knowledgeable! We all had more than enough to eat. Favorite dishes at the table; steak tapas, mussels in wine, jamón Serrano bread, pulpa and rissoto. But honestly, not a bad plate. Although a big restaurant, its narrow and maintains a careful intimacy, my chair was close. To the table beside us but never heard them. We couldn't decide on what we all wanted and I'm so glad we picked Bodega and tapas. Incredible! ”

“ I've been to Bodega several times and it doesn't disappoint! Our most recent meal hit the spot when we were craving tapas. Their Rosada sangria is to die for. I couldn't help but slurp down 2 of them during dinner. The sangria has just the right amount of sweetness and lovely bubbles. The strawberries soaked in booze are the cherry on top. We ordered a ton of tapas - Croquetas de Pollo, Patatas Bravas, Tortilla Española, Albóndigas Estofadas, Gambas al Ajillo and the Paella de Pollo con Gambón. (Don't judge we were hungry!) All were delicious but the shrimp fell a little short. And the paella didn't have that amazing crust you expect with a paella. But, overall we really enjoyed our meal. I'll be back for another couple more Rosadas. ”

“ A night out with the girls after going ring shopping for one of them led us to make reservations here. We ordered an array of tapas (which. We filled two tables) because everyone wanted to try different things. What better way to see what you like? So we ordered and I ate the following: Tabla de Quesos Españoles con 19 Acompañamientos, Ensaladilla Remolacha con Queso de Cabra y Nueces, Pimientos del Piquillo a la Plancha, Patatas Bravas, Calamares Fritos con Ali-Oli, Camarones a la Plancha, Espinacas a la Catalana, Albóndigas Estofadas, Chuletillas de Cordero con Vino Tinto, Chorizo de la Casa a la Parilla, and Mejillones al Vapor. Yes, everything was delicious, along with the many drinks we had. ”

“ A nice spot for tapa's brunch. Foods were delicious, sangria comes in pitcher. You can do all you can eat or order individually. Dark, rustic interior. Fairly comfortable seating. However, service can use a bit improvement. During our visit, the waiters gathered around one side of the bar chitchatting, without keep an eye on the customers. My guess is the manager probably not there that day. Do recommend improvement on services. ”
