Loved the rib eye with truffle butter, calamaris were also delicious

We spent Valentine’s Day at Bodega 8 in Mexicali. We arrived a bit ahead of our reservation time, but they seated us right away. We went with our usual favorites the octopus and the ribeye steak. The drinks were on point, and the dessert was incredible. We definitely recommend this place! The ambiance is charming and perfect for a romantic evening.

Mr. Tempo is a beautiful, festive and large restaurant perfect for hosting celebrations and parties of all sorts. They have a variety of seating formats for parties of all sizes. Definitely try their loco fries during Happy Hour which is all day except the hours between 6pm to 9pm. I tried their beef birria taco set and was impressed by the fried tortillas. The beef was a bit bland, but the fried outer shell makes up for it! I would return to try their other options.

They took over 20min to sit us while we had a reservation. I guess it’s pretty busy this time of the year?

Great food and ambience. Staff was super helpful and nice
