But the Darien one is completely different. We sat at the bar and ordered our drinks which were good. But when it came to food I told bartender we were ready to order and he walked over to the computer 4 feet away and made me shout my order to him while he put it in. It was loud and I wasn't sure if he got my order correct, which it wasn't. I ordered guac with extra jalapeños and it came out with no jalapeño (it even said on our receipt, no jalapeños).The guac was also bland, very flavorless. I also ordered the tuna tostada for an app. We put in our whole order at once but stated we wanted to start with guac and the tuna. Everything came out at the same time. My shrimp burrito was luke warm and my boyfriend's carne asada was cold. We had to flag down the bartender for silverware. Overall bad experience, would not recommend Bodega in Darien, go to the Fairfield one.

I loved the numerous taco options, and I tried 3 different ones: the Americano, Baja, and Chicken Tinga. They were each delicious, and I loved that they have outdoor dining options. We’ll definitely be eating there again!

This restaurant without our knowledge or disclosure anywhere decides to charge its customers a ?Cocina fee? of 2.50%. Cocina is Spanish for Kitchen and they go on to describe at the bottomof the bill was this fee is for. Saying that it will be distributed to the kitchen staff, with a goal to end the wage imbalanceIn the food service industry. I found it shocking and strange that they would say this as it basically says they are alsocontributing to the imbalance and asking the customers to contribute to the kitchen staff pay. I can think of many ways theycan help their kitchen staff, including just giving them a raise to a competitive salary! What are your thoughts? I?m honestlyshocked at this restaurant and the action they have taken.
