Prices:
$7 - $15 will get you fed nicely.

Veggie-friendly?
Somewhat. They mark 3 dishes on the menu as being vegetarian (portobello burrito, portobello taco, and a salad), and have the kindness to warn you that the black beans are *not* vegetarian, which is far more than the usual BCS restaurant does.

Notes
La Bodega is owned by the same person who owns Cafe Eccell across the street. This is more nouveau Mexican than true Tex-Mex. The menu includes shrimp and fish tacos, several varieties of burrito, quesadillas and 'Mexican martinis' (margaritas shaken and strained into a martini glass). Warning: if you don't like cilantro, choose carefully - most of their dishes and sauces contain it. I happen to consider the presence of cilantro a feature instead of a bug, but cilantro-haters might want to steer clear. I went with a group of people, and most people either had the burritos or the quesadillas, and everyone liked their choices. La Bodega also features several flavored margaritas, if you're into floofy drinks. I had the Pulled Pork Burrito with a side order of the cilantro-lime sauce, which was wonderful.
