Joe Peña's in Backnang

The food is simply delicious and the staff are really friendly and attentive. I can highly recommend it.

Es war wie immer richtig lecker. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Etwas enttäuscht waren wir vom Nachtisch. Die Schokoladensoße war nicht warm und die Churros etwas hart. Schade! Aber ansonsten hat alles gestimmt.

Great service and the food was very tasty, see you soon

Was very nice. The food was very tasty and the service was top notch. Very very nice and friendly

Very nice and highly recommended Top service 👍🏼

Cozy restaurant, staff very friendly and attentive. Food very tasty, portions filling.

Always a great taste experience. Great service even when it's busy, super friendly and accommodating. You are also welcome to add a vegan dessert to the menu. We'd love to come back.

Super nice service, very tasty food and nice atmosphere.

Everything was great the whole evening.

Always quite busy, so reservations should be made The food was always great on various visits.

Very tasty food, friendly and fast service, delicious cocktails and happy hour until 8 p.m

Delicious steaks, friendly service

We had a wonderful evening :)) The staff was very friendly and helpful. The vegetarian selection on the menu could be a little broader, but we were all very happy with the food. And I have to say again: The staff was really really sweet :)) Both waiters were really friendly. You really don't have something like that very often :))

Food and drink was okay, service was definitely above average!

Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Waiting time is okay as are the prices. - Separate children's menu with smaller dishes available.

Everything was great, from the super nice service, the food and the ambience. Always happy to come back

The food was very tasty and we enjoyed it. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the visit even more pleasant. We'd love to come back! A small suggestion for improvement: It would be nice if there were more kid-friendly options on the menu.

I have to say in advance that we had booked a table for the street festival. We didn't realize that the guest room was later converted into a dance floor. Maybe you should have said this beforehand! These "conversion measures" (during our meal) made us feel like we were in the train station hall. Employees kept walking past us with tables and chairs and even got stuck on my chair twice. The food was very good, but not cheap either. 100 euros for two (including drinks) is no problem... If we had known all this beforehand, we would have chosen a different date. Update December 31, 2024 This time everything worked out. The table was great, the service was very friendly and the food was very good. The cocktails are also recommended. I recommend reserving a table in advance!

Super delicious food and nice staff

Very friendly service, super delicious food. Acoustics could be better. You could achieve a lot with a few acoustic elements on the ceiling and walls

Really so great every time! The food is gigantic, the service is great and very friendly and the ambience is great too. Always happy ☺️

The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and attentive, the atmosphere... let's just say I felt like I had suddenly landed in Mexico. I can only recommend it.

As always, super tasty and very friendly.

Fantastic food, delicious cocktails and fantastic service: super friendly and very eager to please our guests!

It was extremely loud and at times no conversation was possible

Nice atmosphere, lively inside, a bit noisy for people who are hard of hearing, be sure to reserve a table in a corner. The wish will also be fulfilled. Very tasty cocktails and food! The tables could be bigger and sturdier, with food and cocktails a bit cramped. Attentive, friendly and fast service, it couldn't be better! Unfortunately, the new menu is very confusing as the dishes are described in text form with background information. This can be better laid out, such as just listing ingredients and using different fonts or bold, etc. But since it always tastes delicious, we will definitely come back!

Meine Kinder waren heute das erste Mal mexikanisch essen. Danke an das Team vom Joe‘s, dass es den Mädels so beeindruckend und positiv in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Alle waren total nett, fix im Service und das Essen hat uns alles richtig lecker geschmeckt.

I went to Joe Pena's for the first time with a friend. Since it was only my second time eating Mexican food, I wasn't very familiar with the food. The waiter therefore had to instruct us something about the food. His explanations were very good, so we knew exactly what we were going to eat. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation. I would also like to come back.

Good food and nice service. Would love to come back.

Super super Service, freundlich und jederzeit zur Stelle 👍 Extrem leckeres Essen, wir sind seit vielen Jahren Jo Peñas Fans👍 Aber, der letzte Tisch vor den Toiletten ist nicht schön, sorry, geht gar nicht. Ich würde dort eine Garderobe stellen und optisch zum Raum abtrennen.

All in all, another successful evening at Joe Peña’s, everything was perfect again, can only be recommended, thank you for that.

Es war rundherum ein abermals gelungener Abend im Joe Peña’s Backnang, es passte erneut alles, nur zu empfehlen, danke dafür.

One of our favorite places for years. The service staff are always friendly and accommodating. The food is super tasty and always of excellent quality. The rooms are cozy, with dim lighting and candles on the tables. Everyone will find their favorite food here. It's best to reserve!

Sehr leckeres mexikanisches Essen. Auf der Speisekarte ist für jeden was dabei, auch vegetarisch oder vegan. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Gerne wieder.

Super delicious food (vegan a lot 😋), very nice service. The only thing we didn't like was the volume and the fact that it was relatively dark where we were sitting. I would eat there again at any time!

Good, finely prepared Mexican cuisine and nice, service-oriented staff. The cocktails are also beautifully mixed and delicious. Gladly again!

We had a very nice celebration. All wishes were perfectly fulfilled. The food, the staff and the location were highly praised by all guests. It was perfect. Thank you!

Simply great! Very nice staff and very tasty food! We'll be back

Super delicious food and cocktails! Very friendly service!

It has definitely become our favorite. Large portions and very tasty prepared. There are also different promotions on different days. Tuesday is "Taco Tuesday" and I have to say, it's worth it. I actually hate avocado but I ate the guacamole there. And the staff is amazing!!!!! Super nice and always ask questions. The atmosphere there is great. Very relaxed. And the food isn't just greasy but really well balanced. Update: 10/15/24 PURE MADNESS!! The food is just super delicious. And the service always looked after us.

We celebrated my birthday here, the food was delicious, the waiters were all super nice and attentive. Gladly again at any time

Very nice service staff, super delicious food and delicious cocktails. We'll definitely come back

Great food, there are also vegan options. Always very large portions so be careful here. :) Unfortunately a bit loud, but if you don't mind that it's really nice!

Very good food, great service, attractive atmosphere - clear recommendation. We'll be back!

How can you charge €3 for an extra portion of cheddar dip upon request if the mini portion of the taquitos is not enough? Should have been on the menu or simply taken for granted like in other restaurants... But that's not understandable. Too bad. One guest less.

As usual, very tasty food. The service was incredibly attentive and on point. Cocktails are really great! (You can just notice the freshness and ingredients) The menu is nicely written, with stories about each dish, where it comes from, etc. It can be really tiring if you're hungry and want to order quickly but have to read forever until you know what the dish is. (a paragraph between info about the area and the composition part would be helpful). All in all, a great restaurant for fans of Mexican food.

It was a great evening, the food was great. And the service can't be better.

Food, service all very good. Unfortunately the restaurant is in the front area If it's crowded, it's difficult to have a conversation. The background noise is too great.

Seating without cushions cold and hard Especially loudly from the ice mill counter.

We like to come here often, the food, the cocktails, everything is delicious 😊 The service staff is very friendly and really on the ball. You never sit on the dry side for long. Very small points deduction, we sat outside and the chair would certainly have been a little more comfortable with a cushion 😅 Maybe there were also cushions, but we didn't ask, so it's our own fault 😊 Otherwise we'll be happy to come back again and again and again anyway 🥰 Best regards 😊

Wir saßen im Freien unter toller Kastanie. Nettes Ambiente. Am Besuchsabend war sehr viel los, daher war die Servicegeschwindigkeit etwas langsam. Wir hatten lediglich Snacks bestellt. Diese waren sehr gut und Preis/Leistungsverhältnis hat auch gepasst. Zu den Hauptgerichten kann ich daher keine Bewertung abgeben. Was ich auf den Tellern der anderen Gäste gesehen habe sah echt "Mouth-Watering" aus! Die Belegschaft ist freundlich, zuvorkommend und positiv auf Gäste orientiert.

Wir gingen gerne zu diesem Restaurant und fühlten uns immer wilkommen, da das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend war. Am heutigen Abend war dem nicht so. Wir bestellten, wie gewohnt das Essen, jedoch war die Wartezeit mit über einer Stunde nicht hinnehmbar. Als das Essen endlich kam, fragte ich nach dem Grund. Der Kellner flüchtete sich in Ausreden ( zu wenig Küchenpersonal, sie haben nicht Reseviert da kann das passieren !), während an anderen Tischen Gäste, die mit uns dort ankamen , trotz nicht Reservierung, berets gegessen hatten. Statt sich für die lange Wartezeit zu entschuldigen, meinte der Kellner nur, warum er das tun sollte und wir müssen das ja nicht essen. Wir habe das Essen sofort zurückgehen lassen und verließen diese Gastwirtschaft. Wir werden diese auch nicht mehr aufsuchen. Die lange Wartezeit und das Verhalten des Kellners sind für ein Restaurant in dieser Preisklasse nicht hinnehmbar.

Super nice service, very attentive. But on the one hand, I got my mojito with black mint leaves that I had to take out. I noted this too. The next mojito was exactly the same. That was a bit disgusting. The food is good, but not THE portions that you would expect from a Mexican restaurant, so I didn't think the price was that good. But it tasted great. That has to be said. There is actually one star deducted because the thing about the mint leaves really bothered me, even though it was mentioned.

A good steak. Bad service (you will have to wait a long time, even a very long time).

Mega friendly staff. Delicious as always! Highly recommended.

The food actually tastes good, unfortunately I think the portions are a bit too small for the prices. Service staff are very friendly, but what bothered me was that the lady was with us every few minutes and "added her two cents" - that was for me personally just too much. It's okay to come here two or three times, but that also has its limits. The ambience is really beautiful, you really can't fault it at all.

Were there for the first time, we really liked it!

Very nice evening spent dining next to the river. The Especial Steaks that colleagues had looked amazing and I'll have to return to try. The Steak bowl I had was amazing too.

Everything just fits. Keep it up. We'd love to come back

Super nette Lokation mit einer ganz tollen Gelegenheit draußen zu sitzen. Die Lichterkette schafft eine romantische Atmosphäre. Der Service und das Essen war wie immer super ☺️

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary here. And everything was perfect and super tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for that!!! We will be back definitely.

Service GREAT 👍🏻 Food GREAT and plenty 👍🏻 sitting comfortably in the beer garden GREAT 👍🏻 Price/performance ratio fits today 👍🏻 so, nothing to complain about 😃 Thank you 👍🏻

Yesterday (Monday) was happy hour, all cocktails cost €7.5. The reservation online was very quick. We arrived a little early and were immediately seated on the terrace. Service and food were great. We ordered Cesar salad and pulled pork bbq burrito. The cocktails (Joe Margarita and Swimming Pool) were not that sweet and not that strong (low alcohol) :) When the weather is good, the ambience on the terrace is excellent. Highly recommended!

Everything is very tasty. Attentive staff. The price is not cheap.

It was a very beautiful evening. The food was super delicious. There is a star deduction for the service because we don't think it's great when someone puts the last bite in their mouth and the plate is already cleared away, it feels like you should hurry up. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty Mexican food. Priced OK. Actually nice ambience, it was just very loud (busy)...

Nach langer Zeit sind wir mal wieder im Joe Penhas gelandet. Service sehr nett und aufmerksam ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Essen war lecker und gut gewürzt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Always a pleasure to eat there. Nice and very attentive staff, a menu that offers more than “classic Mexican”, delicious and well-mixed cocktails. I'm very satisfied.

Everything was great, but I found the prices for the food to be very high compared to other Mexican restaurants.

Always delicious food, great cocktails and very friendly service.

How to know and love it. A nice welcome when you arrive, great atmosphere and music. You can immediately feel the great service. Great drinks, great food. We had a great evening and enjoyed it to the fullest. Thank you !

We spontaneously got a place for two people. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Would love to come here again.

Great service, delicious food, beautiful outdoor area! What more do you want.

Die Cocktails sind sehr lecker. Leider finden wir es etwas schade, dass die Alkoholfreien Cocktails in der Happy Hour nicht auch reduziert sind. (Sie sind sowieso 10ct günstiger wie der Happy Hour Preis). Das essen war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Freundliches Personal. Die Karte wurde vom Aussehen her neu aufgesetzt - gefällt uns persönlich überhaupt nicht. Sehr unübersichtlich. Den Nachtisch können wir leider nicht empfehlen - uns hat es nicht geschmeckt. Das ist ja aber oft Geschmacksache.

Great restaurant, nice service, good food and cocktail happy hour. 👍

Absolutely great. Except for the new menu. What did you come up with? The waitress is the most personable person I have ever met in the restaurant. It simply makes every visit even more beautiful. I can only rave about your food. Please change the card again, then it will be 6 out of 5 stars

Very tasty food, generous portions and nice atmosphere. The staff was also super friendly and accommodating. Very good value for money. We were very satisfied and can only warmly recommend Joe Peña's. 👍

Not the first time I dined here. However, every time it is very convincing. Whether cocktails or taste, ambience or service, you can really have a great time here. Only the portion size could be a little larger. But that is in the eye of the beholder and can never be big enough for me. Especially with the fajitas. The service was great, extremely friendly and even when the restaurant was full, every table was attentive to whether drinks were empty and dishes could be cleared away. Unfortunately, this is rare these days. The menu is stylish, without question. But something else is clear. Since I have been to Mexico many times and also love Mexican food, it is no longer relevant for me to read the descriptions of the dishes. However, if this is new territory for you, you will have problems. Especially with the additional, well-intentioned historical information shown, there is no clarity. We noticed this at our table and also with other guests that evening. Offering all cocktails for 7.50 euros on Mondays is also a great promotion. The nachos and chips to start are a must. Although the salsa could have a little more steam here. It's a salsa! Clear recommendation!

Wir sind mittlerweile seit 2019 Stammgäste. Tolles, freundliches, sympathisches Team. Die Gerichte sind herzlich angerichtet. Für jede Essensrichtung etwas zu finden. Cocktails sind lecker.

Good food with a very good menu. Highly recommended 👍

Very nice service, super tasty food.

Very nice, hard-working staff. The food was very tasty and there is a good selection. One star deduction for the ambience, as the noise level feels very high when the restaurant fills up.

As always, the food was delicious and we will definitely see each other again

The store was packed and therefore it was a bit louder in the room. The staff was incredibly friendly despite the high workload.

Highly recommended, very pleasant restaurant,

Great place, friendly staff, and excellent cuisine. Moreover, there are Russian-speaking staff, which was a great help, because... My German leaves much to be desired. And the bartender allowed me to take a memorable photo that carries the flavor of this establishment.

Be sure to study the menu at home. Although it is beautifully written, it is not very clear and it therefore takes a long time to decide. The seating in the back room is very tight. For me, two tables are needed so that I can sit more comfortably. It was annoying that Steve Wonder's "Happy Birthday" blared three times from the speakers above us that evening, even though it wasn't anyone's birthday in our dining room. Despite everything, this location is on my list of possible restaurants in Backnang

Tolle Atmosphäre, leckeres Essen und anschließend tolle Cocktails. Vorab Reservierung ist notwendig da die Gaststätte gut besucht ist.

I'm a big fan of Joe Peña's in Backnang. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating, I really like the food but the highlights are the drinks! I can only warmly recommend the Banana Daiquiri. A small negative thing, but it is due to the popularity, is the volume. It's very loud there, but you shouldn't let it bother you too much :) The price-performance ratio is OK, if you want to eat and drink cheaply, this is the wrong place. For example, for two of us we had 6 drinks (3 per person), 2 main courses (1st per person), 2 desserts (1 per person) and a digestive per person. around €85 spent. For a more frugal evening I recommend the chips & dips or taquitos and drinks.

Absolutely satisfied. Nothing to complain about from A-Z. A 20 out of 10 Recommended! Good selection of vegetarian variants and possibly vegan options.

Very tasty food, the service was very attentive and we had a great evening! 🫶🏼 A small drawback is the noise in the restaurant, but in summer you can avoid it by sitting outside 😊

Service was great, small complaints were responded to immediately and courteously. Food was good. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy and the tables were very close together. Still a very nice evening.

Tolle, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Location. Sehr freundliches, gut gelauntes und aufmerksames Team. Cocktails & essen prima. Immer wieder gerne!

We were there spontaneously on a Sunday evening, got a table with 11 people and ate very well.

Very nice staff, great ambience and super delicious food :)

The service was quick and friendly. The food was very tasty. The ambience was ok.

Very nice restaurant in the heart of Backnang, beautifully located. The food and service were of the finest quality. I can recommend Joe Penas Backnang to anyone who likes Mexican cuisine. Changing offers throughout the week round things off

México in Backnang ... we felt very comfortable! The waiter was great and simply takes care of the well-being of the guests, for that 6 stars... we ate and enjoyed a mix starter for the starter and two main courses (entradas mixtas & fajitas). The menu is also cool, with its background information on the South American continent! See you soon, unfortunately no one took photos 😔

Lots of selection of great cocktails and great food, as well as a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Food very good, service attentive and friendly, gladly again.
