The Back End 17 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT 06840

"A hip and happening place, refreshing to see in New Canaan. Loved the bouncy Latin grooves, the lights, and outdoor seating. Great craft beers and churros for us, but will come back for the other offerings."

"Fun, energetic bar with great margaritas and modern Mexican cuisine. The menu has traditional flavors but with some fun spins on preparation & presentation. The staff was friendly and attentive. It’s a great upbeat place that will be perfect destination as the weather gets nicer and we can enjoy the outdoor space."

"Delicious food that is beautifully presented, cool vibe, great cocktails, and attentive service. A++ all around. Make it a point to swing The Back End, you won't regret it."

"Great spot for lunch! Great selection of small tacos, if you aren't too hungry. Nice little hideaway -- loved the setup with bar seating outside. If I lived in the area, I'd be here a lot."

"Great atmosphere. Good food. Unfortunately overpriced. Knocking down prices by 30% to bring them on par with normal for this class of Mexican does two things: (1) This review becomes five stars; and (2) I become a regular customer that orders twice a month (instead of a once-ever customer) Hoping to see better prices at some point in the future. Thanks!"
