This restaurant is located in Kensington, one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods I have ever been in. Crowds. Music. Hustle and Bustle. The ebb and flow of the city. Yet so safe. It was a warm September night when we stopped here for a great birthday dinner before ice cream cake at the house. It's a small restaurant with a small but varied menu. There were eight of us in the party and we tried just about everything. Well prepared food that was very tasty. A great selection of beer and Mexican soda too. Our waiter was exceptional. He was the only one working the front end of the restaurant and he was a pro. I highly recommend this restaurant. Price per person: $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Burrito Bañado Smothered, Guacamole, Enchiladas Verdes, Tortillas

The décor is nothing to write home about, but the food merits volumes! Very tasty, quick, and a great option for Mexican/Caribbean flavours. Their fresh guac and chips starts off, and then the enchiladas were tangy and flavourful. Such a great meal!

Liquor license would be nice to add to the enjoyment of the tasty meals.

Today, my colleague and I decided to try out Bodega for lunch on a whim. We picked this new restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant offers authentic Mexican cuisine in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Emily, was friendly and knew a lot about the menu. I highly recommend this charming local establishment and will definitely return in the future.
