The Backdoor

Cute little place which is literally in the back (with their own entrance) of D'Marco's on Main. They share a kitchen m, but it's a Mexican restaurant. Huge drink menu and small food menu. You can order individual tacos or get a 4 combo with rice and beans. We ordered the dip trip as an app and it was enough for 4 and well made 3 of us ordered tacos...lots of choices and every single one was good. I ordered the burrito bowl and it was well made and tasty. It was my birthday so I ordered the pumpkin cheesecake. Delicious!!! Service was excellent!! I'd definitely go again!!

This place has such potential. The service was excellent and the drinks were very good. The food however needs work. We got the dip trio guacamole (excellent), salsa, queso(hot AF). The carnitas taco was perfect, the chicken ones tasted like a salt lick, the fish one was oddly sweet. We also had the Mexican pizza which was asked about it being hot and the server said no but it came covered in spicy jalapeños. The cheese they use is all spicy. The Mexican pizza was good after we took the slices off. It's a cool downtown location and it's very cozy. They also have a large selection of tequilas and have flights.

Delicious Jalapeño Margaritas! Beef Brisket tacos are our favorite! So delicious. One of our fave spots in Rochester.

The first time I was here, I stopped in with a friend after shopping. The tacos were delicious and the margaritas were great. Came back about 6 months later and we both ordered the same thing. The tacos were soooo salty I couldn't eat them! I had to send them back. My friend tasted hers and felt them same. They tasted like maybe the day cook had salted the and the night cook forgot and heavily salted them. The bartender acted as though I was being unreasonable. I suggested she go back and request a taste. We did not get an apology or even asked if we'd like to order anything else, so we drank our margs and headed down the street for dinner. It's a shame! We thought this place had such potential.

We ate here during happy hour on a Friday night. Backdoor might be the best upscale "drinks and an appetizer" place around. The margaritas are amazing, and the food is really good.All of the seating is very intimate and cozy, the wait staff is attentive and helpful. The seats along side the windows are great for people watching and hanging out. The only challenge is parking is tough (limited street parking) and there will almost certainly be a wait after 5 or 530pm. Love this place and can't wait to eat here again.

This is a cool taco and tequila bar! Located in downtown Rochester behind D'Marcos. It is very small inside and fills up fast. They have a large selection of over 150 tequilas and also serve cocktails and margaritas. We ordered brisket and carnitas tacos prepared street style (topped with onion, cilantro and lime) and made it a combo, where it comes with rice & beans. I would say the tacos were a little dry and skimped a little on the onion & cilantro. We would try this place again, we liked the atmosphere.

Love this little speak easy taqueria behind D'Marcos on Main Street! It's an intimate setting, great for a small party of friends. The staff is very friendly and will help you pick out the best flights with a delicious cocktail/margarita to pair with your meal. I recommend the chips and dips as an appetizer. The dips are Guac, (spicy) salsa, and queso. The mezcal flight was my favorite. The shots get smokier from left to right and tastier. The white peach sangria is good if you like a sweeter cocktail vs the blackberry beret margarita which is a stronger drink. Overall, a great place to eat tacos and drink tequila! When the red light is on the tequila is flowing!

The best little cozy restaurant. Great vibes but also GREAT FOOD!! Service is also very quick.

The place is very small yet we only had to wait 10 min for two seats at the bar to open up. The Mexican pizza was good!

Great service, great food, happy hour prices are super, good atmosphere. We had three waiter/waitresses check in on us at various times . All very genuinely pleasant and nice. Definitely will return and recommend to friends
