Taqueria in Coconut Grove with a Hidden Bar: Bodega

Have you been to @bodegataqueria in Coconut Grove? They serve authentic Mexican street food in the front and have a “secret” late-night speakeasy in the back. I just attended a preview of Bodega’s Holiday Bar and a tasting of Patron’s limited-edition El Alto Tequila at Bodega Coconut Grove and it’s definitely worth celebrating the holidays there. The Smoky & Nice cocktail is served in a glass shaped like an ornament that you can take with you and hang on your tree. It has smoky notes of mezcal that complement the Patron Blanco. If you prefer sweet cocktails order the Un Poquito de Repoquito. It has Patron reposado, coconut cream, pineapple & lemon – reminiscent of a piña colada. When it comes to their tacos, you can’t go wrong with the classics: al pastor, carnitas, and chicken tacos.

Founded in South Beach in 2014 by Menin Hospitality’s Keith Menin and Jared Galbut, Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is South Florida’s iconic brand offering an array of Mexican street food along with a unique night-life experience serving up award-winning tequila and cocktails.

About Author

Paola Mendez is a hypnotherapist, published author, and the curious soul behind Coral Gables Love and The Blogger Union. Her journey didn't start in a clinician's office — it started at age 15, battling a mind that used food to quiet a constant internal critic. After two decades at war with her own subconscious, searching for peace as a self-described "introvert in a loud world," Paola found her way out through hypnotherapy. That same journey pushed her out into the city she loves, discovering the gems hiding in plain sight all around Coral Gables. Today, she channels both passions into everything she does: helping people quiet their inner critic through her hypnotherapy practice Pao Hypnosis, sharing those subconscious healing tools through her app Mochi Zen, and showcasing the people, places, and flavors that make South Florida worth savoring — one matcha latte at a time. She is also the author of A Taste of Coral Gables, a cookbook featuring recipes from the city's top chefs. Say hello at info@coralgableslove.com
