Bodega 88 - New York

The atmosphere in this neighborhood is relaxed and inviting. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried from the menu, but my absolute favorite is the Camarones De Ajillo. They also offer a fantastic happy hour, featuring empanadas for just $2.50. I’ve also sampled the nachos, shrimp tacos, and fries, all of which were excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is enhanced by great music and plenty of TVs for sports fans.

Bodega 88 is consistently impressive. With its Latin-inspired cuisine and delightful beverages—especially the sangria—you’ll always leave feeling satisfied, happy, and a bit tipsy! I’m a huge fan of their nachos as well. One of the most distinctive features of Bodega 88 is their booth seating options, which each come with a small TV. If you manage to get one of these booths, you can enjoy whatever sporting event you want. If you can make it during happy hour, that’s ideal, as the drink prices are a bit higher than most would like.

Exceptional service, delicious food, and drinks at Bodega 88. A big shoutout to Jose and the team for an unforgettable experience!

What truly earned this place a five-star rating was how they handled a mix-up with my order; I didn't receive my chicken sandwich because it was given to someone else. When I mentioned this, a man—who may have been the owner—overheard the situation and generously offered me another round of drinks, a shot, and my chicken sandwich, all on the house. I greatly appreciated his kindness; he certainly didn't have to do that. I’d definitely return to try the wings, as they smelled amazing!

Bruh! This place has the best chicken Sandwhich and honey glazed calamari you’ll ever have in this lifetime! Wow.. (it pushed me to write this review) Great atmosphere, Great outdoor seating and an always great music.
