The Fold

Craft Tacos & Cocktails in a Retro-Chic Garage

Set in a repurposed vintage service station, The Fold blends cool industrial vibes with cozy patio seating, creating a laid-back yet stylish atmosphere. Located just west of downtown Little Rock, it’s a quick drive from the city’s top concert halls and live music venues. The menu leans heavily into Mexican-inspired street food—think fresh tacos, house-made salsas, and an impressive tequila selection. With its creative cocktails and late-night hours, it’s a favorite for locals and travelers alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you’re pre-gaming for a show or winding down afterward, The Fold fits the bill. It's close enough to downtown venues that you won’t have to rush, and the casual vibe makes it easy to pop in without a reservation. Quick service and shareable dishes mean you can fuel up fast before the music starts. The lively but not-too-loud setting also makes it a great spot to chat over drinks without shouting over background noise.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for margaritas and tacos before a night out
• Solo travelers wanting a chill bite before or after a show
• Couples seeking a fun, casual pre-concert dinner
• Fans who love a vibrant, social atmosphere
• Budget-conscious music lovers—the prices are reasonable, and portions are solid

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the creative taco combinations, like duck confit and spicy shrimp, alongside a strong lineup of margaritas and mezcal cocktails. Diners love the retro ambiance, outdoor seating, and friendly staff. Many mention it as a “go-to stop” before catching a show downtown, and several point out how the food is both flavorful and fast.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a bit limited during peak hours, and the space fills up quickly on weekend nights—especially if there’s a big concert in town. The indoor dining area is cozy, which some guests say can feel a little tight when it’s crowded.

The Bottom Line

The Fold is the ideal mix of flavor, fun, and convenience for concert-goers looking to kick off their night with tacos and tequila in a cool, laid-back space.
