Great food, great music
Posted by Vicki from Tierra Verde, FL on September 3, 2008
We had a great time at the bodeguito medio. the restaurant is in a great location, right on the malecon (boardwalk) and the food was fantastic. while we were drinking our mojitos and margaritas, there was awesome music playing...remixes of coldplay and even sarah mclaughlin with cuban undertones. you'll have a great time if you go here!
Best cuban resturant in town!
