Bodega Taqueria y Tequila - West Loop

West Loop · Mexican/Tequila Bar Community-sourced, unverified

📍 912 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila runs the classic switcheroo: a fast-casual taco counter by day that reveals, once you push through a door disguised as a porta-potty, a full speakeasy lounge by night.

The speakeasy entrance disguised as a porta-potty door, plus the Pico Picante cocktail (tequila, mezcal, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, lime, orange bitters) that The Infatuation's own review says is worth the visit more than the tacos are.

The Florida-born chain's first Chicago outpost landed in the West Loop on Cinco de Mayo, and the format hasn't changed from its South Beach roots — counter-service tacos with a Cuban streak (potato sticks stuffed into tacos, charred pineapple) up front, then a high-energy tequila lounge in back with live music or a DJ once the sun goes down. The honest read, per The Infatuation's 4.8-rated review: skip the tacos. The food isn't the draw here, and the review says as much directly — go straight for the drinks, particularly the Pico Picante (tequila, mezcal, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, lime, orange bitters), which is the kind of cocktail actually built to justify the energy of the room behind the fake bathroom door.

Chicago on the Cheap's reporting on the brand's separate River North location (407 N. Clark) describes a real recurring pattern — Taco Tuesday at $11 for three tacos, $5 frozen Margaritas on Mondays, and a daily 4-7pm happy hour with $4 tacos, $10 specialty cocktails, and $7 Patron shots — but none of that is independently confirmed at this West Loop address specifically, so it's noted here as a brand pattern rather than applied as a guaranteed deal at this location. This is a national chain (South Beach, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach locations all exist), not a Chicago original.
