Backstreet Grill was created with the intention of bringing affordable, innovative Southwestern cuisine to the Old Town area of Albuquerque. We started as a small location nestled in Plaza Hacienda, and began building a reputation for having quality food and amazing customer service. In the two years since our opening, we have expanded to a full scale, full service, 160 seat restaurant. We feature foods made with locally sourced ingredients, as well as beers and wines crafted right here in New Mexico. We also have a very large and beautiful patio, perfect for enjoying a nice sunny day here in Old Town! Here at Backstreet Grill we use locally produced ingredients to create innovative, southwestern style meals for an affordable price. Some of our customer favorites include our famous fresh table-side made guacamole, baja sandwiches and duck tacos. Our from scratch recipes bring together a perfect blend of flavors from traditional Mexican street food to American classics.

    I have to admit that the setting of a back porch overlooking the parking lot sort of set me off here, but the food was reasonable and the service was attentive. We had calamari and tacos that were fresh and well prepared.

    I have been here many many times and it is always excellent. Can be noisy at times and the scraping of the outdoor chairs on the pavement can be painful

    Backstreet Grill was recommended to me by a number of people, but I found it disppointing. We sat outside because it was a hot day and with no air conditioning, the temperature inside was insufferable. Of course, it was hot outside, too, even in the shade. The tables on the outdoor patio are awkward with large, heavy and uncomfortable chairs. The staff were friendly enough, but seemd to have too much going on and often seemed unavailable when we needed them. The menu claims to be based on "Baja Cuisine" but seemed to have nothing to do with any authentic Mexican cuisine and instead to be based on the philosophy of taking creativity to the point of being weird and avoiding anything that is really fresh or healthy.

    Never got seated. Had made a reservation online but got put on a waiting list on arrival. There was plenty of seating so we don't know why. We left after waiting about 15 minutes...very disappointed
