First time there. Food and drinks were great. Sat at the bar and our server was fantastic! She overheard some of our conversation and helped us celebrate the events we were discussing. Thank you!

I visited with a party of 3 and we sat at the bar around 7:00 on a friday night. We were initially served drinks quickly but after that it was almost impossible to flag down any bartender to put in our appetizer/food orders. We got the chips and salsa to start, which was good, but we were all needing water and unable to get some from any of the bartenders that quickly passed by. Dinner eventually came and one of us was missing the side of rice we ordered- it was never received. The food runner was more attentive than the bartender! As we ate, we quickly noticed that other customers around us were sitting with empty drinks and their credit cards out waiting for the bills. The couple sitting next to us waited over 25 minutes to be cashed out. We all wanted a second round of drinks but couldn’t get any because we couldn’t get any of the bartenders attentions- on top of our 3 empty drinks piled together. One of the bartenders exclusively tended to her friends next to us and continued to get them multiple rounds of drinks and shots while we were waiting with a card ready and asking for water for over 20 minutes. Some of the worst service I’ve experienced in Rochester so I can’t recommend this place.

I called in advance to ask if they could handle nut allergies and was told they could but when we got there almost everything on the menu had been in contact with nuts in someway! I wish the person I spoke to on the phone mentioned this to me so I could have picked a different place. The food was good but when we got the check we realized they didn't removed the food we couldn't get.
They need to be more organized on handling people and they should double check the checks before sending it to tables.

The Backdoor is the best! The vibes are great. The trio dip is a must and it just gets better with the tacos! Definitely a go to spot!

The atmosphere is great and the tequila menu is huge. If you're a fan of tequila they have pretty much anything you could want. The tacos aren't bad, but they're not the best tacos I've ever had either. Happy hour from 5-6:30 has $2 off tacos, as well.

Mexican recipes coming out of an Italian kitchen equal, confused palate.
Drinks are excellent. But they need Angostura bitters for the Oxacan old fashioned which is yummy.
Bartender very friendly and knowledgeable.
