Very friendly staff. Don’t be confused by the exterior, plenty of parking. We had the brisket taco dinner. It was amazing. Don’t be concerned about the bbq on the side, it was great. First time I’ve ever eaten all the rice at a Mexican restaurant. Wife loved the Mexican martini.

Great atmosphere hanging out at the backstage area. Sunday brunch gets busy so go early to get a table and to catch up with friends before the music starts.

Service is great when u get it out table was missed several times we received help from the manager who took our order.

Drinks were great and music was just right. Ordered smoked carnitas tacos with a Tito’s Bloody Mary. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Food and service were just ok. The cocktails were decent. But the atmosphere in the backstage area made up for the deficiencies. Very fun!

I’ve been here several times over the years. My most recent visit, I went with my mom and my dog. The back patio was so nice. The restaurant is very dog-friendly, which is great. They provided my dog, Bogart, a water bowl. The service was great. Our waiter, Trent, was very friendly. The food was delicious – my mom and I shared an order of queso and chicken fajitas. The manager, Casey, checked on us as well and talked to us a bit. All in all, a nice dinner. I will be back again soon.

5 stars experience! The staff are friendly and helpful and the service is top-notch. I had left an item behind for a few weeks, and the manager kindly kept it safe until I could pick it up, truly above and beyond!
The restaurant is cozy, full of character, and instantly makes you feel at home. The back room with live music adds a relaxed and pleasant vibe. Highly recommend! Thank you !

We got here a little before they were scheduled to open and they welcomed us in anyway. We opted to sit outside, since it hadn’t gotten hot yet. The back patio was cute and colorful and most of the tables were in the shade. Our server, Gabriel, was so attentive and friendly! He brought out the breakfast and regular menus, which we ended up ordering from both. Everything came out super fast and tasted GREAT! The kids ordered from the kid’s menu and we ordered from the breakfast and regular menus. We also ordered a few beers.

I highly recommend this place, for breakfast, lunch, dinner or with the kids. We all loved everything we ordered. They also had good music playing too.

Went to Backstage, did not even know it was here. Saw a great band, apparently there’s one every Tuesday. Tortilla soup was better than mine!!
