Hi/Fi Tex-Mex BBQ

Super cute outdoor space, great cocktails.I had a great lunch here with super friendly service that let us move tables when the sun became too much. I recommend the frozen cocktail and a few tacos while sitting in the shade.

Really solid neighborhood taco and bbq place! We came on a very cold and rainy night and they sat us inside at evening star and still served the hi fi menu. Really enjoyed the brisket platter and a sampling of their different tacos. Will be back to try them again when we it is warm enough to sit outside!

Unless you know you are looking for this place it's kind of hard to find. We were craving grilled meats close to home, Yelped options and this place came out so we decided to give it a try. The entrance is not the most popular so arrived at the address given but ended up entering through the dumpsters (back) not a great sight. Anyhow, I looked lost as there was no sign or direction and when I approached the servers they looked, yet did not welcome me to the place, I had to ask if I was in the right place. Fast forward, asked to be seated for dinner in that outside patio but was told a thunderstorm would come through and it was best I sit upstairs. Followed the attendant inside to go upstairs and I asked if the same bbq food would be served inside to which he stated it was a different restaurant. We requested to sit back outside as we wanted bbq/grilled meats. Sat and ordered beers outside. Once again we were told that soon a thunderstorm would be coming through and it was best to be inside. It seemed like the servers weren't looking for business and I told him exactly that, for which he replied that he would be able to take my order and bring it upstairs. We then went back inside/upstairs to what I will call from now on the "dark room". A few minutes later our food came through.Very delicious and moist meats. I ordered the 3 meats platter- brisket, pulled pork, ribs. The only down side, the brisket was extremely salty to the point that the only way to eat them was inside the tortilla with the white sauce provided. The rib meat fell off the bone and the pork was very tasty. The jalapeño Mac and cheese was dry and cold. Very disappointing. The portion was great though, lots of meat for the price. The environment in the dark room was not all that. Place gave me speakeasy vibes but the server there was too distracted so we had to wave him down a few times to get his attention. All in all, seems like a nice place upstairs for drinks late at night on a date. Other than that, not sure that downstairs/outside area is the place to be (for me).

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and dog last Saturday night. I've had the food from HiFi a few times at the Lounge space but was excited to sit outside! It's much larger than you realize with many seats and they also have a few bar seats as well.It was busy but they had a table or cabana option. We chose cabana but next time I would take a table. It was a little awkward to eat with the low table. I'd take a cabana in the future for drinks and some snacks, but not dinner. Our waitress came out quickly and we got some drinks and chose the quesadilla (had before and love it) and decided on the smoked turkey platter. It was good but I don't think I'd get the turkey again just because the other meats are so good. The side options are tasty. We also got the loaded tots - yum!However the rest of the time we were ignored by our server so I removed a star. We were going to get more drinks but our server had disappeared. I eventually had to go find her and ask for our check. Definitely check out this place!!

My friend loves this place so decided to go give it a try. It is tucked away kind of a open backyard area, so not the biggest. Since it is outside that does leave you open to the bugs flying around which was not the best. I decided to go with the two meat platter. The ribs were good and the brisket was amazing. The sides were nothing special. They had good drink options too; the bourbon slush was not bad. The queso was good but the chips that came along with them were not great. The service was also exceptional. Highlight of this place is the brisket so I would love to get more.

This place was a little confusing to find bc it's in the back of a diner that goes by a different name. We thought we were in the wrong place, so we walked in to ask where Hi/Fi was and the server let us know that it was operating in the back and upstairs that evening. We started with frozen rum cocktails that were on special for only $5- a steal. As for food, I ordered the "pig wings": smoked ribs finished in the fryer and glazed with gochujang. These were AMAZINGGGGGG. My husband ordered a brisket platter, and the brisket was delicious and moist. One of the sides offered is pozole which he got and it was very tasty. Will be back!

Really good food and drinks coupled with a great outdoor vibe. You can choose to sit at the outdoor bar, tables, or spacious cabanas! Since they changed over to a bbq restaurant, it has been significantly better. Tried a few of the tacos, chopped pork platter, and a few of the frozen cocktails and all were excellent. Highly recommend this place for good food and good outdoor vibes!

The BBQ brisket eaten with tortillas, the mix of pickled items, and the variety of bbq sauces and salsas wowed me today. I enjoyed it much more than Valentina's Tex-Mex BBQ in Austin - and I'm from Austin. I can't believe this gem is in my neighborhood. In frickin' Alexandria. The portions of meat on the platters is pretty substantial. I can eat a lot, but couldn't even eat half of a 3-meat platter. The sides of red pozole and chile verde (on the tart tomatillo side) were also filled with shredded beef/pork. Also really liked the smoked wings with pickled chiles and onions, and the queso with green chile was reminiscent of home. Everything was nicely seasoned and perfectly smoky, when a common pitfall these days at BBQ joints is overly smoking and/or overly salting the meats. Anyway, no longer need to make the drive to 2Fifty when I can just walk to Hi/Fi!

I never knew how good bbq tasted in tortillas. Great folks, fun casual outdoor lounging, and quality tortillas.

One of the best Hidey Holes in Alexandria. Saturday Brunch at 1200 is amazing. Good place to kill off a few hours if you are waiting on car service. :)Staff is fantastic too!
