Bodega Taqueria y Tequila, a South Florida fast-casual taco joint by day and speakeasy-style lounge by night concepts, announces a national brand expansion plan with its efforts focused on two locations in Chicago, Illinois. The team will open their first Chicago outpost on Randolph Street in the Fulton Market District neighborhood slated to open in Spring 2023 at 912 W Randolph St. Following shortly after will be a second Chicago location in the River North District at the end of Summer 2023 at 407 N Clark Street.
“We are thrilled that our first Bodega Taqueria y Tequila outside of our home state of Florida will be in Chicago’s high energy and food driven Fulton Market District,”said Jared Galbut, CEO and Co-Founder. “Our menu will mirror that of all of our locations, though we will add seasonal options inspired by Chicago’s food and craft cocktail scene.
Guests of the new Chicago locations will order from the brand’s retro fitted airstream trailer-turned-taco-truck. Menu options include the Birria Taco & Quesadilla (Guajillo braised short rib, oaxaca cheese, red onion, cilantro, avocado salsa, and Guajilo beef broth), along with healthier alternatives such as gluten-free tortillas, kale bowls, and cauliflower rice. Beyond the taqueria, a porta potty door leads guests to Bodega's speakeasy – a spot for happy hour and late-night drinks - featuring a tequila and mezcal-based cocktail menu, as well as live music by local bands and DJs. Signature cocktails include the Pico Picante (Tequila, Mezcal, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, lime, orange bitters) and El Jefe (Tequila, Owen’s Nitro Espresso).
