Well pressed Cuban and Lechon sandwiches. The Lechon really embraced the fattiness of the roast pork but I preferred the Cuban because it also had pickles to cut the fat and balance the sandwich. It’s a fair lunch spot with a spacious interior.

You have no idea how delicious this Cuban restaurant is!!! I highly recommend the classic Cuban sandwich and try any kind of smoothies!It’s very very good!!! Excellent service, you won’t be disappointed!!! They do everything to make sure you leave satisfied. I will definitely take my family back to experience the many kinds of food they have to offer.

Great little spot - enjoyed sandwiches and beans&rice during a busy lunch. Felt the food came out in a reasonable time and everything was great. If you're a fan of the traditional Cuban this is a great stop to make, but don't be afraid to ask for a bit more mustard!

We were looking forward to trying Bodega after reading good reviews but we were really disappointed. We sat outside and tables looked like they haven't been cleaned whole day or more. You order at the window and they bring you your food. After a long wait, we got our Cuban and another chicken sandwich. While Cuban was very mediocre compared to other places in the area, the chicken sandwich tasted suspiciously like peppers only. I opened it up to find barely any chicken on it. We left pretty unsatisfied and had to eat elsewhere after. I do not recommend them.

I don't recall them having soup. Mostly pressed sandwiches, plantains, rice and beans.

I don't work there but I doubt they take reservations, it's counter service for the most part.

Is there indoor seating?

No indoor seating. Sidewalk, some outdoor seating behind the restaurant and you can bring the food into the bar/coffeehouse next door. Don't let any of what I've said stop you from going. Best Cuban around.
