Places is pretty nice decorated. People were ok she seems like i was annoying her but still was being nice lol. Food was pretty good I had a Tripleta just wished it had lettuce and tomatoes but the flavor was on point…fries too were nice and crispy…sweet plantain was good not dry….The juice was pretty good wish i had asked if they had a bigger size of cup but overall Was pretty good I’ll go back to try something else 😩😮‍💨

If you’re looking for Puerto Rican/Cuban food, HIGHLY recommended La Bodega Original! The mofongo is the best ever!!! They also bake the bread in house! It has a cute patio in the back! The empanadas are sooo good! Everything is delicious! My fav plate is the trifongo with pork!

Food was delicious. The Spicy G sandwich was a smack in the mouth of authentic flavors. I was shocked after my first bite. Ordered a sangria and a sweet tea. Both tasted absolutely homemade and one of a kind. The owner was very friendly and polite giving all details of the menu and what she had to offer. The place is decorated wonderfully with art around every corner. I came in close to closing time and was welcomed with open arms. There is a surprise patio out back where there is more seating and area ro have a nice lunch. Will return and try to eat everything off the menu. Thank you again for that delicious lunch.

La Bodega Original brings the true taste of Cuba to Jacksonville. Their fresh, handmade empanadas are outstanding, and the daily specials are both creative and delicious. If you've had your first cafecito in Miami or Havana, this is the closest you'll get to that experience. Every dish is made with care, and the staff’s passion for Cuban food and culture shines through.
