"This storied Eat Street bar was resurrected in 2022 by a new team of owners. It’s a great spot for a date night or happy hour with friends. A disco ball shimmers in the corner and vinyl spins behind the bar, creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. Little T’s classic hits play to fruity and smoky flavors — the Hongo Old Fashioned pairs mezcal and earthy nopal with mushroom bitters, and the piña colada slushy machine churns all through the night. The food portions are excellent for the price, and the eclectic flavors are well-executed. Few places would pair palak paneer dip, mapo rigatoni, scallion pancakes, and a chopped cheese on the menu, but Little T’s does it flawlessly." - Natalia Mendez
"Little Tijuana’s (Little T’s for those in the know) piña colada slushy machine never quits kicking — nor does the record player, where vinyls are kept on rotation. Chef Dan Manosack’s menu of snacky cauliflower bites, papri chaat, near-flawless waffle fries, and fried chicken sandwiches (among the best in the city) is served until midnight; drinks until 1 a.m." - Eli Radtke
"As another Eat Street favorite, Little T’s is one of the places I return to and enjoy exploring when I'm in the area." - Eater Staff
"Recently revived by a team of Petite León alums, Little Tijuana is the funkiest bar on Eat Street. The cocktails are heavy hitters, leaning into mezcal and bitters, and the menu features snacky cauliflower bites and papri chaat, near-flawless waffle fries, and a fried chicken sandwich that’s among the best in the city. The pina colada slushy machine never quits kicking, nor does the record player, where vinyls are kept on rotation." - Eater Staff
