    La Bodeguita is one of our favorite spots in all of Louisville! The food is amazing, the drinks are perfect and service is always wonderful. Louisville is such a foodie town that we try to try new places as much as possible but we always find ourselves back at La Bodeguita at least every couple of months. Can’t rave about this place enough. Highly recommend! This is a must stop eatery for anyone living in or visiting Louisville.

    The food was excellent. They were able to make a small substitution with a sauce because I don't like truffles.
