Great service! Extraordinary food!
We visited La Bodega right after it opened last spring. It was so close to their recent opening that Apple Maps directed us to Church Street (original location decades ago). At the time, we ordered at the counter and were served at our table. Back in town this weekend, we made La Bodega our last stop before returning home. Now full table service, and the food is as delicious as we remembered, from both our recent visit and my numerous visits to other Cafe Eccell concepts over the decades.
We started with the OG Queso, thicker than most quesos these days. It’s definitely the OG, but my tastes have evolved and I prefer thinner white queso now, which they also have, so I will order it next time. The salsa was served warm and had a pleasant smoked flavor. Delicioso!
Our party of four ordered the breakfast taco plate with smashed black beans and papas (thinly sliced perfectly fried potato wedges), a breakfast quesadilla, a Greco taco on corn tortilla, and a breakfast taco. The two of us who ordered a full meal needed a to go box.
We rounded out our meal with my favorite dessert in the history of the world, a strawberry tart for there and one to go (praying it makes it home safely). They are as good now as they were in 1990 at Cafe Eccell, when you had to order one as you sat down in fear of them being out at the end of your meal.
We wished we weren’t driving home because the Bloody Mary and Mimosa bars looked incredible. So many possibilities, so little time. Next time, La Bodega!

We tried the bodega burritos surf and turf, steak and chicken. Topped with the poblano or white cheese sauce. They were very delicious excellent flavors. The burritos were so big no one finished theirs.

This place is amazing!!! I missed burger mojo’s strawberry tart which this place serves! Im not sure how this place and burger mojo are connected but its so nice to finally have it since they stopped serving it. Food here is incredible the blackberry margaritas, tacos, and nachos are amazing.

The service and food was excellent! The chips and cheese was ok, not the best and could have used a little more flavor. However, the reason my husband and I went was for the shrimp and fish tacos. They were delicious and didn’t disappoint. Same goes for the drinks and our awesome bartender that was very attentive.
We ate at the original location that was on Northgate the night we were married and was sad it shut down! So happy to have this place back!

The fried fish and shrimp tacos are decent though they’re on the pricey side. The frozen margarita is a good deal if you like the tequila they use; I personally wasn’t a fan but that’s personal preference. The chicken tacos were just okay, I wouldn’t get them again. I liked the red cabbage slaw on the fish taco, it wouldn’t taste right without it!

I came in tonight for dinner and had a fabulous experience! Our server Grace was a ray of sunshine, we recommend having her if you can, as well as the ambiance outside was great and the food was fantastic! I had the fried fish taco and it was a huge portion and delicious. We also really enjoyed the half-priced shakers special, overall 5/5!! We will definitely be back.

Great place if you are not looking for an ordinary taco. Good atmosphere, and good service.Fir appetizer we had chips and queso. The queso was delish! Fir my entree, I had the El Greco. Loved it! The cilantro lime sauce is fantastic. I also tried the pigz in zen. It was good but I prefer the El Greco. My partner had a bodega burrito. It was also good. The prices and portions are good. I could have ordered just one taco and would have been satisfied. We will be back.

Wow I am very disappointed in the decline this restaurant has seen. Last visited this restaurant when it had first opened and it seemed like it was going to do well, the food was good the service was good and fast and everyone seemed well trained. THIS DOES NOT DESCRIBE MY RECENT VISIT AT ALL!! The service was terrible everyone seemed overwhelmed and busy even though half the restaurant looked empty. The food was okish the soup was served cold there was practically no cheese on our nachos and the tacos were there ONLY redeeming quality. The service was very sad and so was the ambience. I thought about ordering dessert but I couldn’t be in this sad excuse for a restaurant any longer! I was very disappointed and ultimately felt like I should have just eaten pizza next door. The only time this place is enjoyable is after finishing two of their Bodega Shakers. Please eat elsewhere and save your money

La Bodega Baja Taco Bar is an absolute gem in South College Station! The tacos are bursting with flavor and fresh ingredients, with a perfect balance of spice and creativity. The Baja-style fish taco is a must-try, and the queso is to die for! The laid-back atmosphere, friendly staff, and speedy service make it a great spot for a casual lunch or a relaxed evening with friends. Whether you’re a taco lover or just looking for something delicious, this place will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!
