Went here with family to celebrate a bday. The bouncer at the front made it very difficult for us to get in and at some point said it was too packed to let anyone in but he continued to let his friends in with no reservations. I was trying to meet up with the rest of my crew who were getting bottle service and the staff inside said we would be allowed to come in... it just never happened for like 30 minutes. The bouncer was sly about it by trying to cover up stamping people and make it seem like they were already allowed in and other excuses. Just really an unprofessional location. If you're a women that this bouncer finds attractive and of a certain race... you'll be able to get in.

Stopped in here for weekday lunch and to sneak a beer. Very good tacos and kind staff. Love how small it is - well worth your lunch money.

The bouncer at the door was actively trying to convince people in the line to leave. He was incredibly rude and disgusted our group and several others to the point of leaving. As someone who has worked in the service industry I am bewildered someone with such a complex is still employed - incredibly bad for business.Never leave reviews but the service was so horrible, everybody should know to avoid this place.

Wait time was exuberant and was told by staff we would be waiting outside all night (while letting walk-ups in the whole time). Was told in passing this place was a good spot, proven otherwise before even entering!

the “bouncers” choose to abuse their power and act like this is some exclusive five-star place. i don’t know what’s wrong with this man who’s pictured, but he acts like he works for the CIA instead of Bodega Taqueria y Tequila. someone needs to humble him, but in the meantime ill go somewhere else.

Ordered catering for a birthday party 1 week in advance. Location of delivery less than 3 miles away. Food was an hour late. Cold. Delivered by an Uber driver, not even Uber Eats, a regular Uber driver, and I was promised a refund of my $310 3/6 and it’s 4/2 and still no refund. Do not give this restaurant your money.

I seldom write reviews, but I was so appalled at the blatant racism from the bouncers. We waited over 40 minutes in line, and in the meantime, they had let in over a dozen white folks who had no reservations (literally heard them admit to not having a reservation) while telling BIPOC to wait “a few more minutes”. By the time we were in front of the line and had asked to get in, they again said to wait “a few more minutes” then proceeded to let another group of white folks in without reservations. We ended up leaving after that. I don’t take using the term lightly, but racist is the best way to describe it since they let only while people cut the line. A disturbing and offensive experience.

I’ve been to bodega in Miami and now in Chicago. The biggest issue with this place is how horrible the staff runs the line. They clearly don’t manage the lines or entrance to the club with any fairness. Mostly racism and arrogance from the bouncers. This Chicago location is run much more poorly compared to any Miami locations, which makes Bodegas chain look bad. The food at this location is also not as good as the Miami chains.

Nastiest tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Impossible chorizo and crispy fish were dry and disgusting. Guac side was a tiny little sauce container. Not to mention we waited in line for an hour and a half for them??? Then couldn’t even get into the actual bar after that long. Nasty establishment please skip.

This Spot was great for nightlife, nice security, great music and great crowd! Although this place served me the Worst Tacos I've ever tasted. The tacos were Ribeye and they somehow managed miss that up. They charged me about $14 bucks and could even snap a quick photo
