La Bodega Baja Taco Bar Makes a Return to College Station
Seafood Taco Concept Back in Town
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – After a ten-year hiatus, La Bodega Baja Taco Bar has returned to College Station. The seafood-forward taco bar, which was a much-loved fixture in the local community, plans to honor its heritage by retaining many of its popular menu items.
Owner Costa Dallis stated, “We honored the old menu. There’s probably 80 to 85 percent of the old menu still intact, we just added some more.”
The Unique Look and Feel
Beyond the menu, La Bodega also features some aesthetic elements from the original restaurant. Dallis has incorporated the colors and some of the framed pictures to ensure a sense of nostalgia within its atmosphere.
Dallis describes how the new space shapes the restaurant’s ambiance. “Every space is different. This one you can see all the windows and has a ton of daylight. The other one had really low ceilings. There’s an older, funkier building, so it kind of tailor the look of the restaurant to the space that you’re in.”
Future Plans
Looking forward, La Bodega has exciting plans for their clientele. A drive-thru window and brunch options are among the propositions that would be introduced in the coming weeks.
