Why Concert-goers love it

Guests appreciate the quick and attentive service, especially when they’re on a tight schedule. The atmosphere hits the sweet spot: lively enough to get you in the concert mood, but not so loud that you can’t enjoy a conversation. There’s also a spacious outdoor patio—perfect for soaking up that desert evening air before heading to a show.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends sharing plates and pre-gaming with cocktails
• Solo travelers grabbing a relaxed bite at the bar

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the high-quality comfort food, with standout mentions for the gourmet burgers, flatbreads, and the Fix Burger in particular. Diners frequently highlight the friendly service and welcoming vibe. Many note that it's a great place to dine before catching a show or exploring the El Paseo nightlife. The cocktail menu—especially the margaritas—earns high marks as well.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that seating can be limited during peak hours, especially on weekends, so a reservation or early arrival is a good idea. While the bistro's casual vibe is a plus for most, those looking for fine-dining might find it a little more laid-back than expected.

The Fix On El Paseo is a crowd-pleasing, convenient choice for concert-goers who want great food, fast service, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere before the music starts.
