Why Travelers Love Bodega Underground
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Fantastic experience with the food being delicious and the wait staff being super friend and accomodating. The “feed me” menu is defiantly worth the experience, gives a taste of a few different dishes while the cost being pretty low for the amount you get to try. Great value for money and a great experience. The good thing here is that the kitchen closes very late. The atmosphere in the place is really a vibe. The tacos de pescado were a 10/10 with the right balance of flavours. Totopos with guacamole were very refreshing. Elote were ok. The churros however were so dry and old it wasn’t even funny. Felt like I was going to break a tooth. Second time here, travel from SA and come here every time we’re in Melbourne. Definitely do the feed me menu the first time to find what you like- we had the vegan feed me the first trip and this time settled with our faves of the vegan options; elote, papas, black bean tacos and broccolini. Exceptional, delicious and well priced meal. Huge drinks menu too. Nice little restaurant space, very intimate great atmosphere. Staff always welcoming and quick.

Good for a date night not so much for a large group. Food is delicious the standout was the corn. We had the feed me menu. The churros was not good, it was a little bit to hard for me, not as a churros should be texture wise. Overall good experience.

We ordered the “feed me” menu and that is absolutely what happened. We got fed. In fact we got fed so well we didn’t think we would be able to eat again. A fun and casual dining experience. The food was delicious and hearty and very very well portioned. Be sure to bring your feed bag if you order the “feed me” menu. The churros and dulce de Leche were amazing. I may or may not have drank a bit of the dulce de Leche just on its own. Their Riesling and Pinot Grigio are both delicious. Service was also fantastic. Just loads of fun and a great experience.
