Thank you This is Alabama !!

A popular Alabama food truck recently opened its first brick-and-mortar location, and its Tex-Mex-inspired menu has customers, new and old, flocking to it.

Banditos, located at 404 S. 10th Street in downtown Opelika, features a menu filled with made-in-house dishes, from tacos, quesadillas and crunch wraps filled with their smoked on-site meats to chips fried in beef tallow, elote cups and more, all served in a relaxed setting that’s both funky and welcoming.

THANK YALL FOR THE SUPPORT IN OUR VERY FIRST WEEK. THE TURNOUT HAS TRULY BLOWN US AWAY.

To keep quality, consistency, sanity, and service to our standards while continuing to grow our team and refine our smoke schedule/demand, WE GOT SUM ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MAKE.

First, we will temporarily be moving to a Wednesday–Saturday service schedule. Everything we serve is made fresh in-house, and all meat is smoked onsite... which for the majority, has to happen outside of service hours right now.

A few other things to note:
• Lunch will be served daily from 11am–2pm (or sellout).
• From 2pm–5pm, we’ll transition to our “SIESTA MENU”.. a laid-back Banditos Cantina kinda vibe where we’ll be spinning records, pouring drinks, and serving a limited menu of chips n dips while the kitchen resets for dinner.
• Full dinner service resumes daily from 5pm–8pm.
If brisket sells out at lunch, it’ll be back at dinner.
• Smoked wings will now be a weekend-only item. Smoker space is limited, and we gotta prioritize core proteins throughout the week. So clock the weekend for yer salsa macha wings.
• Also gonna have someone gettin yall beer refills without ya having to get back in line. OBVIOUS HIGH PRIORITY!!!

That’s all we’ve got for now ! We seriously love y’all and wouldn’t be here without the support of the community. Thank you for rocking with us while we continue dialing this puppy in. We love this lil space we’ve created and look forward to improving it every single day for yall. ✊

CLOSED TODAY (SATURDAY).
WOW yall done cleared us out again !! Thank yall so much for an absolutely incredible first week! We are blown away by the support of the community. Friday night sold us out of everything despite our best efforts to scale up our smoked meat in preparation for the weekend, so unfortunately we will have to be closed Saturday. We know the unpredictability we’ve had this week can be disappointing, especially when the point of a brick and mortar is to be regularly accessible. But we are a very small team that smokes all of our meat and makes every slaw, sauce, and salsa.. so when we run out, it requires time to re-up. Week one has shown us a lot about the volume yall want us to show up in and we’re here to make it happen. We are out for the weekend but we will be reevaluating our smoke schedule and getting our bearings from this first week to sustainably come back next week.

Also we are hiring kitchen/prep/smoke folks immediately. Shoot us an email at [email protected] to schedule a stage shift. High volume. Great vibes.

Thank yall so much for the support!!!!! We are blown away and so grateful. That being said, we were completely cleaned out, so we’ll be taking the day to re-up on everything and smoke so we’re able to come back strong Thursday-Saturday. See you then! Thank you for your patience as we get into the groove 🙂
