Bodega Cantina Birmingham

Absolutely amazing attended here with my friend for some drinks only ( would try the food next time but we had eaten) staff were absolutely phenomenal. Ayra ( hope I spelt this right) and also the other girl behind the bar were amazing really friendly bubbly good vibes. Music was good too and represented well the Spanish vibes of the bar. Overall I think these two deserve recognition because they made amazing drinks and recommended good drinks too such as Zombie and Caribbean punch. Due to their service will deffo come back here thoroughly enjoyed the night they went above and beyond

Sara greeted me with a warm smile on her first day, making my experience extra special. Having previously explored Mexico beyond Cancun, I appreciated the authenticity of Tulum’s cuisine, particularly their use of corn tortillas. The food was delicious, and I even got some flavorful green jalapeño sauce upon request. The margaritas were exceptional, and the blue corn sharing tortillas were a delightful treat. To top it off, the churros were a perfect finale, especially with a side of vanilla ice cream.

Found by chance and wasn’t disappointed, we didn’t book but only had to wait a few minutes for a table . Lovely warm and friendly welcome . Lovely inviting looking place . Loads to choice from on the menu food and drinks . Hubby doesn’t drink fizzy drinks and more than happy to make him a coffee. Wow the portions sizes are very generous, we had chicken nachos for starter , followed by the chicken chips and burger and chips and Mexican rice . The coleslaw was amazing . All looked and tasted amazing and all at a great price. Definitely recommend can you come and open one up in the heart of the Cotswolds please 😂🥰

I've been here several times and always enjoyed the food, especially the homemade nachos (proper fried tortillas rather than Doritos-style chips)! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because on my must recent visit I was disappointed to see that cheese sauce is now used on the nachos, rather than melted cheese. Please change it back! Other than that, the food, drinks and service were great.

We went on Sunday for lunch. The food was lovely, unfortunately the staff were not great. It started well, we had made a reservation and after we sat down the waitress took our order promptly. The food came out and then we didn't really see the waitress for ages again, no checking if we were ok. The plates were all finished with, our drinks were empty and we still waited ages and the waitress didn't appear. My sister went to the bar to order more drinks and ask for a dessert menu. The waitress then said she would come over and do the order at the table. Again we had finished desserts and cocktails and waited ages for someone we could ask for the bill. In the end we got our coats and stood by the entrance waiting for someone to come over so we could pay the bill. I could understand a delay in service if the restaurant was busy but unfortunately it was that staff were stood around the other side of the bar talking.

Bodega Cantina beckons with a vibrant atmosphere and welcoming hospitality, offering a culinary journey even for those new to Mexican cuisine. The Vegetarian Burrito Bowl is a standout, featuring hearty mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and vibrant veggies atop fluffy spicy rice—a symphony of flavors and textures. Equally tempting are the Crispy Cauliflower Tacos, where crunchy cauliflower meets tangy slaw and creamy sauce, creating a delightful combination for any palate. Bodega Cantina transcends cultural boundaries with its inviting ambiance and mouthwatering dishes. Whether you're a seasoned vegetarian or simply seeking bold flavors, this restaurant promises a culinary adventure like no other.

Delicious food with a great atmosphere. Drinks were super yummy😍. Had a good Vegetarian selection of food. There was some corn tortillas for the gluten free eaters 🥰. Be sure to book a table in advance as it does full up. Only thing was food took a little long to get to table.....or maybe I was ravenous and impatient?

What a lovely little mid week date night this was, came in after being recommended for a friend for a lil mini-anniversary meal and I’m so glad we did. We shared 4 different dishes and really made the most of the selection. My rare rump steak was actually really well cooked and was far better than anticipated. Our server Charlotte was lovely and friendly, and really helped make the evening for us. The service was a little slow but everything else certainly maid up for it.

We were in a big group of 20 and they were able to accommodate us without issue, taking the downstairs area just for us which was really nice. The staff were also excellent and were very fast with service. Considering there were so many of us, it was great to see that they had prepared well. The food was mostly good, with some of the portion sizes being larger than I could handle. My picks were the cola wings, chicken mole burrito and the mango strawberry dessert. The cola wings and the mango dessert were my favourites of the night. The only slight downside to the experience was that there was a weird smell to the downstairs. You do adjust to it after a short while, but definitely something to be improved on. But overall a good experience.
