“Greetings y'all. This is a cool place. I was greeted by Casey Jo and I was served by Savanna. The entire staff is cool, attentive, and professional. Cool decor on the wall helps set the vibe. Several big screen televisions and a well stocked bar. It has a cool atmosphere. In the upstairs there is another bar and it's a place you can get a little more comfortable with a friend 🤗. The food is good. I had a Sausage with Fennel on Flatbread and I added mushrooms. I enjoyed it, quite tasty. Overall a good time. Recommend this restaurant bar.“

“Although they sometimes have snacks, this bar doesn't serve food, but does allow outside food, just not outside drinks. The price per person depends on what each individual is drinking. They do have sodas for the designated driver.
There is Karaoke every Friday and Saturday.“

“On Wednesday night I participated in my first porn shoot. Food porn that is. 😂. Evaga Desert Kitchen (agave backwards) which is located behind The Elmont and adjacent to the water park in The Montecillo hosted a food tasting which turned out to be the biggest orgy of flavors in my 48yrs of life. To start off I had the Compressed Watermelon topped with goat cheese and almonds. They take a large chunk of watermelon and compress it so as the remove the air and allow for a flesh that is both savory, and tremendously juicy. The goat cheese added a nice zesty and sour contrast to the sweetness of the watermelon. I didn’t know goats made cheese but they’ve replaced the memonitas as my favorite cheese makers. Next up was the crab cakes. A mixture of potato and crab sautéed with arugula and topped with a delicious chipotle aioli. The cake was crunchy on the outside and tender, meaty and delicious on the inside. Definitely the kinda crabs you would be grateful to receive ❤️❤️❤️ And then came the entreès. First up the Arrachera served with broccolini, potato’s and carrots. If not prepared correctly skirt steak can be tough and chewy due to all the connective tissue. Well this particular steak was nothing of the sort. The Arrachera was soft and tender, taking only about two or three chews with eat chew bursting with flavor. Basically it’s a party in your mouth and nobody’s calling the cops this time. The veggies were good. But they’re sidekicks, they’re Robin to the Arracheras Batman. Enough said. Next up was my absolute favorite. The Margarita Pizza. Yes the pizza was my favorite, and no I’m not a 12yr old child. I honestly do not eat a lot of pizza. If you look on my page you might only see one pizza review, EVER! . Pizza is just not my thing. But the Margarita was my favorite because of the incredibly fresh ingredients and how refreshing each bite was. The pizza consists of fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, basil and a drizzled with a nice balsamic vinaigrette. Fresh ingredients are heavenly, and that’s truly what this pizza was. The fresh mozz was a perfect combination of saltiness, chewiness and flavor. The pizza was basically a caprese on a delicious thin crust. And I love caprese to by the way. The simplicity, freshness, and out of this world flavor are what made this pizza my absolute favorite dish of the night. The Creation of Adam, The Mona Lisa, and Starry Night are all considered masterpieces by the artistic world. Well on Wednesday night Chef Freedom painted several masterpieces worthy of The Louvre. His energy and talent breathe a fresh air of excitement to El Paso’s foodie scene. Be sure to take advantage of his talents while he’s still here. It’s just a matter of time til the big cities come beckoning. And as always remember to always support local over national #supportlocal“

“I love incredibles! Great staff and great patrons. My favorite neighborhood dive bar. My only complaint is the air conditioning. I come here very often during the fall/winter since the temperature feels great but, reduce the amount of times I come in during the summer due to the air conditioner issue. I also really like the new POS system that they have. Thanks for the great service and fun times! Karaoke night on Friday nights are always super fun!“

“As a bartender from Dallas, TX, I was seriously impressed. I went bar hopping on Airways this past Thursday and stopped in here. It was some what busy, and I almost left when I saw only one bartender behind the bar. Glad I didn’t.

A tall, beautiful bartender (I believe her name was sherika or shakira ) greeted me right away, introduced herself, laid down a napkin, and took my drink order—along with the rest of the bar. She knocked out all of our drinks in one round and served them on a tray with speed and professionalism.

As someone in the industry, I know how tough that kind of rush can be. She handled it like a pro. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in El Paso“

“Very friendly and inviting. Bartender was fabulous!! Very personable & attentive. Great Cabernet Sauvignon and perfect espresso martini 🤤 great place to chill and enjoy the vibe“

“Excelente food, presentation and service.“

“Muy delicioso! Y el ambiente estaba muy bien. Servicio espectacular!“

“So if you don't know.. this place and all the places around this area are lgbtq. I'm not from here so I didn't know.
. Had one drink before I realized and had to bounce. Just want to make sure everyone else knows what kind of bar they are going to. Nothing wrong with the service though although the drink are on the weaker side. Good luck out there.“

“The bartenders made great drinks and conversation both. great place to swing by.“

“The bar has a nice mixture of old world bar with chic flair. Such a wonderful place to have wonderful conversations or just chill with family and have board games. The bartender/mixologist handcrafts each drink and each one hits it's mark. Truly each drink is a work of art. If you love a quality cocktail with a wonderful ambiance this is a must.“

“We love Little Shack! We come at least 3 times a month and always ask for Jasmine at the Montwood location. She has been the best waitress we’ve ever had. She’s sweet, attentive, and always provides amazing service. Definitely recommend eating at Little Shack and make sure to ask for Jasmine!“

“Wonderful experience. We had been to the sister restaurant, Manhattan Tavern and Gri, in Five Points. The similarities were evident, the menus similar, and the dining experience equally spectacular. We went on a Wednesday, which features prime rib night. I highly recommend their prime rib. Mine was done exactly as requested. All of the sides were generously apportioned and delicious.“

“Definitely a great menu and the tap beer is the coolest I’ve ever had.“

“Cait was so sweet and had great customer service, I am definitely coming back!“
