Bodillaz

Bodillaz may be a VCU student hot spot, but it is certainly worth well more than calling it a campus-restaurants. Bodillaz offers hands down the single best quesadillas I have had anywhere in Richmond. Even now, living thirty minutes away, I will STILL drive into the city for that perfectly spicy, juicy, thick buffalo chicken quesadilla. They have also semi-recently added more items to their menu such as taco salad for those who aren’t in a quesadilla mood or simply can’t do spice at the moment (shoutout to my friends with tummy problems!) All in all, Bodillaz is a classic Richmond hot spot that deserves to be frequented by all.

Flashback to a decade ago, a freshman at VCU, my tastebuds were first introduced to this gastronomic heaven. Oh, how time flies! Picture this: devouring the sweet, sticky elixir of their honey BBQ and feasting on the Forté quesadilla that truly lived up to its name - a symphony of flavors that played the most delightful tune on my palate. Their quesadillas? A powerhouse performance that makes you exclaim, "That's what I call Forté!" And let's not forget about the wings - the juiciest, plumpest, most deliciously sauced wings this side of Richmond, and all for a bargain of just $12! Whether you're a tourist ticking off the Richmond must-dos, or a local in the know, this spot transcends a late-night bite; it's truly a rite of passage. And the guy who calls out your order when it's ready? The Maestro of the Meal, the Conductor of Cuisine? He ensures you're not just served, but serenaded with satisfaction that leaves you feeling.. like you've just won the food lottery and your tastebuds are cashing in the jackpot!

Went to VCU to visit my son and stopped here for dinner...hands down, the best quesadillas I've had in a long time! The portions are well worth the price. I ordered the Southwest and it came to the table overloaded with chicken, peppers, cheese and chipotle sauce. It was enough for me and my 10-year old to share and still had left overs! The family owned business made it even nicer to support. The owner was kind, stopped by to see if we enjoyed everything and talked a bit. I plan to make it our "must have" anytime we are in the area! There's not a lot of seating space, but worth the stop in and take out if needed. Great place!!!
