Bryan & College Station, Texas

First of all, this place gets packed quickly, so either go to La Bodega Baja Taco Bar expecting a wait or go early.

I’ve only tasted a few fish tacos in my day, but these were some of the very best.

Right around the corner from the campus, just a block away in fact. When we left, parking was a problem. Anywhere around the campus is like that, really, but we got there early. And for being a hot spot for students, the actually had the two high chairs we needed for out 2 year old twins. Nice.

By the way, I did feel like my kids were a little out of place there, not sure why, but there it is. (actually, I don’t think they even have a kids menu)

We took all 4 kids and my parents who were visiting for the weekend. I ordered the Habanero Crispy Shrimp tacos, my wife and dad ordered the Crispy Tilapia Tacos, and my mom ordered the Crispy Shrimp Tacos. (We ordered a few cheese quesadillas for the kids)

Those Habanero Tacos were incredible. Wow. Yes, they were spicy, but so worth it.

The Tilapia tacos were the best I’ve tasted.

All the dishes, it seems, come with very tasty rice and black beans. The sauces either had pineapple or mango and were just the right amount of hot. And the Margaritas there are very tasty, although I have no idea what makes a good Margarita, honestly, if it’s sweet and doesn’t make me cough out a lung because it’s so strong, it’s good. We all shared a couple of strawberry ones.

The fish (or shrimp) was rolled in a white corn tortilla, stuffed with shredded cabbage/lettuce with a mango sauce and were so yummy. The rest of the menu looked great too, but at around $10 per plate (includes two tacos, rice and beans), we will probably not be going back often. We’d sure love to, but we’ll have to wait until our parents come and treat us or something. I’d like to take this opportunity to thanks both sets of parents for their generosity and kindness toward us all these years…we love you and love when you visit…not just because you take us out to eat.

It’s a fairly small place, but there’s a covered patio and looks like they have live bands there often.

This College Station restaurant has incredible food, and I definitely recommend eating here…even if you have to park a few blocks away and have to wait 45 minutes.Jorge
