La Bodeguita del Medio Costa Rica

One of the most renowned and famous establishments is “La Bodeguita del Medio” in Havana, Cuba. And in San José, Costa Rica, there’s a branch that offers great live music and excellent mojitos. This is because this Cuban restaurant is the most famous in the world for being the creator of the authentic Mojito.

“La Bodeguita del Medio” was officially named at the Martínez house on April 26, 1950. It’s worth noting that the original Bodeguita del Medio is located at Empedrado 207, in Old Havana, just 40 meters from the Havana Cathedral.

This restaurant provides excellent quality Cuban food, and there’s never an entrance fee. Opening hours are from 12 noon until midnight, depending on the number of customers at that time. One of the groups that plays at this venue is “Grupo Chocolate los hijos del Son,” who perform live, playing original music and traditional Cuban songs for all audiences daily, from Monday to Saturday, starting at 8 pm. This group has been playing at the Bodeguita since the restaurant opened.

This restaurant is also known as an ideal place to enjoy excellent afternoons and evenings full of flavor, with live music and an unbeatable Cuban atmosphere—in short, a very cheerful atmosphere with a true Latin flavor. Our Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Eduardo Guilarte, visited and enjoyed the quality of both the service and the company.
