Tucked in the tiny nook that used to be Tiny Kitchen, La Bodeguita has always been under my watchful eye ever since I saw it replaced one of my most favorite restaurants when it moved to a more spacious location. I have always wondered how different the dining experience would be. Except for the familiar cramp space, it did not look anything like Tiny Kitchen. Which is good, it means they have an identity of their own.
La Bodeguita's Spaghetti Fino con Chorizo |
When it's my first time in a restaurant, I usually order pasta. I love pasta and frankly a respectable restaurant wouldn't really mess up something simple like pasta. So I ordered the most interesting pasta dish I saw, Spaghetti Fino con Chorizo, which is Angel Hair pasta topped with Chorizo and all that oily goodness which oozed from the Chorizo which was probably sautéed in olive oil. The dish was really good and the star was the chorizo. I was informed that they make the chorizo themselves and I must say they were able to balanced the flavor of the chorizo very well. I was so inspired by this dish that I bought some chorizo and made my own version. (La Bodeguita is also a deli). If I may nitpick and suggest a way to make this dish better, probably a little more salt. Just a little and it would be perfect. But over all, this was a good and satisfying dish.
