I dined at La Bodega shortly after they opened and was put off enough to never go back. I found it not very authentic (Italian meat balls in spaghetti sauce), over priced and with just plain bad food.

When my friend from Madrid (who owns a very popular tasca off the Puerta del Sol) was in Minneapolis, I would not take him there.

Bill's Imported Foods has more than a few Spanish items at very good prices, including the occasional Serrano ham.
