Pretty, pink, modern is the perfect summary of Bodega that is found in the heart of Leith. With arches, trailing plants, pastel colours and copper accents, it creates an interior that is perfect for those Instagram grids. This taqueria is modern and playful with a menu that is designed to be shared between you and your friends. The menu is taco-driven, taking original inspiration from Mexico but it plays around with touches takes from Asia, Europe, North America and Australia - all served up in a street-style corn tortilla.
Kick things off with a Mexican black bean dip and tortilla chips and pair it with a taste of Asia with the Korean chicken wings. Sip on margaritas and chat with friends before launching into the taco selection. The tacos are served as a pair and it is recommended to share two tacos between two people. You might decide on joining a classic beef taco, with a chipotle mayo and pico de gallo; with the more adventuro buffalo sesame chicken taco served with blue cheese and franks hot sauce. If seafood is more your taste, opt for the baja fish taco or the tempura tiger prawn with an asian-style dressing. Vegans are not left out at Bodega with squash and cauliflower taking on new forms and Mexican flavours.
Chilli and chocolate is a playful combination that is used as a dipping sauce for churros. However, if you're not feeling brave enough for a hint of spice in your dessert, there's always the ginger and white chocolate cheesecake with dulce de leche to satisfy that sweet tooth.
With fresh, exciting flavours, house cocktails and a range of margaritas served by the glass (or by pitcher!), Bodega brings the fun and warm atmosphere of Mexica to Leith.
