Looking to chow down on some Latin American fare? A new spot has you covered. Called La Bodega Original, the new arrival is located at 4541-1 Shirley Ave., Unit #1, in Westside.
This spot serves up handmade empanadas that are made fresh on a daily basis. Look for the Cuban sandwich and veggie black bean burger on the lunch menu. In the mood for a different side? The Rated R Fries come with Sriracha ketchup, two over-easy eggs, queso fresco cheese and cilantro.
With a 4.5-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp so far, La Bodega Original seems to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Leah A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 6, wrote, "Come here for the quesito! A quesito is a cheese-filled pastry twist from Puerto Rico. I absolutely loved the flakiness of the cooked pastry dough coupled with the sweet cheese filling on the inside."
Yelper Nelma P. added, “I chose The Tipsy Goat, which is a Cuban-like sandwich with ham, pesto and goat cheese. I was not disappointed. The pork was cooked just right and it was so flavorful.”
Interested? Stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood. La Bodega Original is open from 7 a.m.–6 p.m. on weekdays. (It's closed on weekends.)
