The Bodega is a corner store owned by the Fernandez family. The store has merchandise in both English and Spanish (For example: eggs are huevos and oranges are naranjas). Also, the customers can speak in both English and Spanish while shopping there.

The building also has a kitchen and the parent's bedroom. One of the back rooms of the store was originally the Fernandez siblings' bedroom. It had a dividing curtain in the middle for privacy. At the end of the second season, Alex and Eduardo worked together and built Alex his own bedroom in one of the spare storage rooms. In the third season, Gaby now had the old bedroom all to herself.

The bodega is an important location in almost every episode.
