La Bodeguita Restaurant Review
La Bodeguita De Pico is an exciting Cuban Restaurant that brings
you the flavor, culture, and fun of Cuba to Los Angeles!
Cuba; known as a jewel in the Caribbean for its pristine beaches,
mountains, and plains, this tropical paradise is a melting
pot of ethnic mixes from every corner of the world.
Throughout the years, Cuba has quietly maintained a faithful commitment to a
history of colorful traditions, and friendly ambience. Our goal is to create the
same warm and relaxed space here at La Bodeguita De Pico in Los Angeles.
Whether you are looking for the very best Cuban food and Happy Hour, an exciting full bar featuring tropical drinks, live music and salsa dancing, outdoor dining for a sumptuous Sunday brunch, or a tranquil outdoor patio to enjoy a Mojito and
relax with your favorite cigar. La Bodeguita De Pico has it all.
The owners look forward to bringing that same commitment to quality food,
abundant dining, and lively atmosphere to you here in Los Angeles.
We went there on a Saturday night, and the place was already packed, with a live Cuban music, the singers were really great, you could feel the energy in the air!
What can go wrong when you have great music, ambience,
fabulous services and wonderful food?
