    Love the food at this restaurant, very authentic and good range of dishes. The service was great. The restaurant is beautiful and portrays Cuban culture beautifully, even the staff do. However we were there on a Monday night, albeit day before NYE, and it was very loud. (This is Cuban culture though!) but it was hard to talk to my husband across the table, we kept having to repeat ourselves. So keep that in mind. They gave us a delicious piece of cake on the house for our anniversary. The appetizer was delicious, the empanadas, but it only came with two (for almost $15). The food was delicious.

    Each of us had something different - arroz imperial, churrasco, pollo asado, and camarones al ajillo - and it was all amazing. They have the best black beans. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because service was very slow. This is such a popular restaurant and it’s the holiday season, so I know that can impact the speed of service.

    This was our first time at La Bodeguita De Mima. We were celebrating my wife birthday. We had a fantastic evening. The food was delicious, service was top notch, band was great, and atmosphere was great! Ramone, our server was nothing short of first class. Look forward to coming back.

    I rarely leave a review but our dinner was just amazing. We were there to celebrate my parents’ anniversary. La Bodeguita has great ambiance but the servers worked together as a team though our main server Pedro was just hands down amazing and patient about my inquiry on nuts on meals and desserts.

    Absolutely amazing service and food! Delicious! You may sweat out garlic the next day but completely worth it! We had a traditional chicken entree and a delicious shrimp dish and app! Thinking of getting a Cuban for the ride back to Cinci!🤣
