Our Restaurant

Welcome to La Bo...

A little Cuba. A lot of Palo Alto. Since 1997.

For nearly 30 years, La Bodeguita del Medio® has been a neighborhood gathering place for Cuban-inspired food, great cocktails and good company.

Whether you're joining us for lunch, meeting friends at our award-winning bar, enjoying dinner in our atmospheric dining room or relaxing outdoors on California Avenue, there's always a place for you at La Bo.

We're proud of our many local "Best Of" awards — from Best Bar and Best Ambience to Best Latin Dining and Best Solo Dining. But what means the most to us are the familiar faces who keep coming back, and the new ones we get to welcome.

Nearly 30 years in, there's still room for someone new.

Lunch, Afternoon or Evening — We're Here!

Open straight through, Tuesday through Saturday, from noon until approximately 9 PM. No afternoon closing, no need to wait for dinner service.

Drop in for a late lunch, an afternoon cocktail, an early dinner or simply a chance to unwind.

Cuban Social Hours: Noon–5 PM, Tuesday–Saturday.

Tell a Friend, Meet a Friend.

Friends,

Thank you! A reminder, we appreciate your continued, loyal, support!

All of us at La Bodeguita del Medio are grateful for your continued patronage over the last 28 years! We are so fortunate to be a part of this incredible community.

Please remember that each time you order, you are not only helping a business survive, but you are keeping great people employed and supporting an extensive ecosystem of vendors and food suppliers, delivery drivers, farmers, fisher-peeps, vintners, distillers, and others. At the same time, you are generating sales taxes that support our schools, first responders, and other services essential which are essential to our community. #takeouttohelpout

So, on behalf of the staff at La Bodeguita, #LaBoToGo, & our 'eco-system'... thank you.

We appreciate, respect, and value you always.
