    Food was amazing as it always is. This is our go to when we are in Louisville. Have been several times. Was difficult to enjoy our food as our table may as well been in the freezer. We were seated upstairs, which usually heat rises but it was at least ten degrees warmer down stairs. Asked multiple times about the air and the temperature. Waiter even commented that others had asked and they were working on it. Never got any better.

    La Bodequita is fantastic! The food is the best in the city. Ask for Yaima’s section because she was a phenomenal waitress too!
