UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 — You can now get Bodega Underground's gluten-free Mexican snacks, as well as margaritas, bottles of wine and Mexican beers for either pick up or delivery. Just head here to order. 

This CBD taqueria should be on your list for a number of reasons. First, it's affordable, with tacos coming in cheap. Second, it will meet all dietary requirements as the whole menu is gluten-free and there are heaps of vegan options. And third, it's open seven days a week right through until midnight.

The black bean, zucchini and sweet potato tacos all come with vegan cream, while the chorizo, fish and pork options will satiate meat eaters. On top of that, you can opt to add on chilaquiles (chicken or vegan), Mexi chicken wings, lamb ribs or spicy fried potatoes. Each of the drinks on offer have their own Mexican twist. We're talking spicy, beer-infused micheladas, piñata conladas, tequila-based palomas and even something called a Mexican Toreador.

Bodega also dishes up a well-priced bottomless Mexi brunch from midday every Saturday and Sunday. With 90 minutes of unlimited cocktails, you can pretend like you're day-drinking somewhere between Cabo and Cancun as you dig into a hearty, five-course spread of tacos, chilaquiles and ceviche. If you're GF or vegan, the team can accommodate.
