Not a place I would ever recommend, but it’s great food for drunk college kids. Great drink prices for drunk college kids, too.

I go to the Backstage on Tuesday nights, and stop in at the bar, to say hello. It's an ever welcoming atmosphere with great music and sound!

I got sick 30 minutes after eating here, ended up puking as I tried to drive away. Think I made it to 6th before I started projectile vomiting 7 times.

We ended up here by accident for my brother’s birthday and glad we did. The food and margaritas were so good! Chad our waiter was great and we will definitely be back! Everyone was greeting us and asking about our visit. We couldn’t believe how courteous everyone was and it was a great experience.

The Backstage at El Mercado features Ernie Durawa and other fabulous musicians. Durawa Tuesdays is where it's at.

The place has a good vibe, but we couldn't shake the feeling that we were being overcharged for drinks. When we brought up the discrepancies on our bill, the waiter was evasive and interrupted us when we tried to address the issue with the manager. We never got a clear explanation about what was happening. As longtime regulars, it's disappointing to say we won't be coming back due to these tactics. The waiter's behavior completely spoiled our experience.
