CLOSED Revisit: El Bodegon

Spanish Bocata
During the week after Christmas, I went back to El Bodegon to give it another shot. I arrived at 11:40 AM and there was not a single customer in the store. With their menu lending to lunch, this was not a good sign. Previously I commented on how impressive their deli case of imported meats and cheeses was in relation to what you can find in the Indianapolis area, but today, they were completely empty. Is this place going out of business?
What I Got: Spanish Bocata $5.98
This sandwich is made with a crusty bread, olive oil, Serrano ham and Manchego cheese. The ham had a nice smoky flavor and had a texture similar to prosciutto while the cheese was thick with a smooth, creamy taste. The bread was fresh and there was a small amount of a orange colored Spanish relish topping on the bread that had a sweet taste that set apart the smoky ham.
Would I Buy It Again? Yes, but only if I could have 2-3 times as much of the relish sauce on the sandwich.
Overall, my feelings on El Bodegon are mixed having some good and some very bad food. Based on my two visits, I do not see how this store will survive long-term unless it makes some improvements and gains some needed visibility. Give it a try yourself and let us at WIBIA know what you think.

You should do a review on Abuelo’s in Carmel. My favorite Mexican restaurant!
I have been there many times and although their platters give you a lot of food for the money, I was not crazy about anything I have had there. Do you have some suggestions on what I should try?
looks like this place did indeed go out of business.
