| - La Bodega is one of those places that I always meant to visit. Now that I've done it, I feel dumb I haven't been eating here sooner. Tucked on the corner of Jefferson Avenue are some of the tastiest, most affordable sandwiches in the area. I was just telling a friend recently that I spend a lot of time in Tremont, but I'm not always up for the expensive fine dining. Enter: La Bodega. My new favorite.
Yes, as others stated, this is a small sandwich shop. But really, does one need a Marie Antoinette style seating arrangement for sandwiches? No. Just grab a seat in the cozy back area adorned with local art or settle outside on one of the small bistro tables. La Bodega has a huge menu (see my photos!) with plenty of options for all dietary restrictions and taste buds. But not to mention, their menu is just crave-worthy! I'm not one of those people who ever *craves* a sandwich, but La Bodega changed my mind. I had the #30 Chicken Salad wrap with Lemon-Almond, Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion. It was huge and delicious. This chicken salad felt healthy, had a great lemon/almond flavor, and had me full for hours. I forget the number (#46?), but my friend loved his pizza style sub.
Oh, and on the way out, the owner (I think), said, "Have a great day, thanks for coming in, Lauren." Now, 9/10, I usually introduce myself when I visit a new business. But on this day, it was a million degrees, I probably looked crazy and was slightly grumpy, so i'm not even sure if I introduced myself. It caught me off guard in the best way possible. What nice people! I'll be back very soon!
