Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is a vibrant and innovative dining and nightlife destination that seamlessly blends authentic Mexican street food with a dynamic bar experience. Established in 2014 by Menin Hospitality’s Keith Menin and Jared Galbut, the brand has rapidly expanded, earning national recognition for its unique concept and energetic ambiance.

At the heart of Bodega's concept is its signature airstream trailer-turned-taco-truck, serving a diverse menu of traditional Mexican favorites alongside inventive twists. Guests can indulge in a variety of tacos, burritos, and build-your-own bowls.

Menu highlights include the Birria Taco & Quesadilla featuring Guajillo braised short rib, Oaxaca cheese, red onion, cilantro, avocado salsa, and Guajillo beef broth. Health-conscious diners can opt for gluten-free tortillas, kale bowls, and cauliflower rice.

Complementing the taqueria is Bodega's speakeasy-style bar, accessible through a discreet porta potty door. It offers an extensive selection of tequilas and mezcals. The bar's innovative cocktail menu includes creations like the Pico Picante, with tequila, mezcal, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, lime, and orange bitters, and the El Jefe, featuring tequila and Owen’s Nitro Espresso.

The lively atmosphere is enhanced by live music from local bands and DJs, making it a favored spot for both locals and visitors seeking a memorable night out.

In select locations, Bodega introduces the Mezcaleria, an intimate space dedicated to premium and rare agave spirits. This elevated cocktail experience offers guests the opportunity to explore a curated selection of mezcals and tequilas in a refined setting, perfect for intimate gatherings or special celebrations.
