Absolutely can't wait Til Tuesday comes around. I love the papa loco , beans , tacos and salsa bar is super!!

The best tacos that I've tried in the Phoenix area. Living in Mesa it's tough to find great quality food but backyard taco is seriously delicious! My favorite is the Carne Asada tacos and the crazy potato. I wish they would add street corn since that's one of my faves! Also don't forget to get their salsas at the bar, they're made fresh and add the perfect flavor to the tacos. read more

Really liked this place. They have the best Carne Asada in Mesa. Very tender and not dry and tough like most taco shops. 1.70 per taco or you can get a full family meal for $16. I wish they could make a half meal for 2 people. Other than that if you like street tacos this place is really good. read more

We've been here several times since their recent opening. We were hooked right away by the great food, reasonable prices, and atmosphere. We only have ordered tacos, don't know about their other items. The carne asada is wonderful, and the tortillas are fresh and authentic. My one complaint comes from my visit last night. We were there right at five, before the dinner rush. Though it wasn't busy, every single table was dirty. It wouldn't have taken more than 5 minutes for someone to have done a good clean up before the dinner rush hit, but no one did, and didn't the entire time we were there even as tables filled up. Patrons just did it themselves. I hope this gem of a restaurant doesn't get lax in their cleanliness or it will be the reason we stop coming. read more

The best street tacos in town!! Get them loaded steak or chicken I like them both. $1.25 on Tuesdays. Enjoy!!!

The carne asada was pretty good, but we thought the chicken was mediocre. Nice homemade tortillas.

I've considered making a Yelp account for some time now so make note: Backyard Taco was the winning meal that sealed the deal. 1. The best carne asada I've had in AZ 2. Tortillas are soft and fresh. It tasted like they might have been lightly buttered which is as delicious as it sounds. 3. Fresh salsa bar with sides of cucumbers , radishes, and onions (try the onions). 4. Friendly service 5. Clean I ordered to-go and I wish I had ordered more. Definitely returning soon! read more

Don't let the name fool you. There is indoor seating. The chips and salsa are perfect companions to each other and to any meal. The best chips and salsa that I have had in years! The vegetarian crazy potatoes are my new comfort food. read more

My family and friends went to back yard taco. Wow! The food is awesome. I ordered chicken tacos and chicken burritos. It is very delighted. My family and I will come back to this awesome place. Joyride taco need to learn from this place, all of you non authentic need to eat here so you'll know what a real Mexican taco, is. At least this place won't take you for a ride. The food here at back yard taco is very reasonable.. read more

The carne asada is awesome! On Tuesday it is $1.25 taco night... Place is always fairly busy for a good reason - the food is good!

Love, love it. We have been back so many times. My husband loves this place and even dreams about it. Carne asada tacos are so good. I love the cucumbers and the guacamole. Have not tried the burritos yet. You know the food is awesome if you see a diversity of people there. There can be a bit of wait but it's worth it. read more

Food here is delicious, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The carne has a really good flavor cooked fresh off the grill. The owner is really nice and even gave me a free backyard taco t-shirt! Love this place for lunch or dinner, Yumm! read more

Awesome food!!! My fiancé and I went here for dinner for the first time tonight, she got tacos and i got quesadillas, The Carne asada was amazing some of the best i have had, the chicken was very good as well. We will be going back. We have found a new favorite place. Prices are very reasonable we ate and where both full for less than $15 cant beat that. read more

I like it. Meat was a little grisly but other than that, I was impressed. Good job on this one guys.

Delicious tacos! The carne asada was delicious and cooked perfect. Nice and friendly staff.

Delicious Mexican food in my neighborhood!! I had the chicken burrito which was huge and full of deliciousness. The restaurant has an outdoor patio and some nice seating inside. Very clean and the staff was friendly. Love!! read more

Blah, no flavor at all. Hot sauce was either hot and no flavor or no heat and no flavor. Guac tasted very "watered down" I think they just increased the sour cream to make the dip last longer. Staff wasn't very friendly. The place doesn't look clean, but 2 stars because we didn't get sick. read more

Great tacos, burritos. Luckily I live close by because my wife I go there all the time.

Very good place, they opened not too long ago and been growing ever since. Its a bit crowded. I think thry need a new location

One of the best Mexican food places in mesa. You walk in and smell the mesquite wood that they use to cook with. I always call ahead and the food is ready within 5 minutes. The salsa bar is always stocked with fresh sides. Go try it...you'll be hooked. read more

Food is great however I am disappointed with the restaurants customer service. They advertise catering services on their Facebook page so I called and asked about catering an event that I was having. Gave all the information they needed and they said they will call me back with a week for price estimates. I was thrilled that I was going to have their great tacos at my event yet they never called me back. Thanks a lot. read more

Carne asada was good. Good flavor. not cheap. the layout is good when its slow, but its a little bit jacked up when there are more people in there. You sort of get lost going from ordering to salsa bar when its busy. It took me a solid 10 minutes to get salsa, my bad? read more

Amazing menu and super tacos! One of our family favorites. We have been multiple times and great experience every time.

AmAzInG... ummmm well worth the crowd, my husband had the tacos I had a bean burrito WOW it was filling :)

Best restaurant ever!! Steak quesadilla is really good! it is also very well priced! The chicken taco is also really good

This is the real deal. My search is over! No longer need to go Mexico for the original street tacos. We can get them here. The carne asada tacos are my favorite. I had 6 loaded and are a bargain at $1.89 each. Washed them down with a Mexican Coke.. Ahh so good. The birria tacos and papa loca tacos are my next fav. Todo aqui esta muy bueno. Come early as it gets busy quick. Im glad to see they are doing really well. Hopefully they will open a second place soon. read more

I tried one of each Taco (chicken, birria, and carne asada). The chicken & carne tacos were awesome, however I wasn't the biggest fan of the Birria taco. Use the check in offer and get free chips & salsa, definitely a plus! Finally, don't forget to get a Mexican coke, they're the best of you like Coca-Cola! read more

Nom, nom, nom - can't talk - eating. I'll sum it up: fantastic little taco joint, FRESH food & salsas, clean establishment. Got the Agua de Jamaica & Papa Loco spiced up at the salsa bar; it was so delicious that I hurt myself! Seriously, I ate so much that I actually hurt myself. Somebody help me - I can't wait to go back and do it again! read more

showed up around closing the manager said to come in he will take are order and serve us after closing time. We were hungry and he helped us with are order and let us dine in on the patio. The food was awesome and we did not feel rushed thumbs up Backyard Taco read more

First time eating at Backyard Taco and left happy! We tried the Crazy Potato w/Carne Asada and a Carne Asada taco. The crazy potato is essentially a baked potato loaded with all the fixings plus your choice of meat (carne asada, pollo, or birria) inside a tinfoil bag. All in all the crazy potato was a hit. Would recommend. The carne asada taco was pretty good too. I tried mine with the tomatillo salsa to add a nice level of spiciness. Tacos are about $2 each and about the size of a standard street taco. Service was great, food was excellent and will be coming back for more. read more

Great authentic tacos. The birria pork is divine. The restaurant is always crowded and it is easy to see why. You should probably try it, though based on the number of reviews it has you probably already have. read more

Best tacos ever! I love this place. It's always busy but it's worth it. Price is right too. I try to always eat here at least once a week.

This place is the best holy crap!!!@-@ kindve packed though. But who cares!!! Greatest tacos. I have ever tasted and so juicy. The steak is my all time favorite here. You won't be disappointed at all. New spot for taco Tuesday. :3 read more

Great tacos!! The chicken is amazing!! My fil request to eat here every time he visits.

Loved the place. Froze my ass off dining outside as the indoor seating is limited. Although the Carne Asada street tacos were great, too much onion was a little over bearing so I will leave them off next time. We will be going back in the future. read more

Absolutely the best place ever for Mexican food! We live in Avondale, and every time we are in Mesa, we love to eat here. The prices are very reasonable, and the service and food are awesome! We wish they would expand, and build one in the West Valley! Everything on the menu is amazing, you can't go wrong, great atmosphere, too! read more

I have been here 3 or 4 times and love their chicken everything. I have yet to try their burritos. The environment is chill and always busy but the service is good. They need an expansion because they are so worth it. read more

So apparently they can't take an order. I ordered a carne asada burrito and they gave me a bean burrito. When my wife went to exchange it for me the older lady behind the counter that originally took our order said thats what we ordered. Thanks for basically calling us liars backyard taco! read more

We used to look forward to our annual trip to Mexico for the food. It used to be you couldn't beat the street tacos there. Now we frequent Backyard Taco once a week, and the last time we went to Mexico wasn't quite as exciting because we've been eating great tacos all year long. I do hope they get a bigger place and a bigger salsa bar eventually, but it's still worth the wait as the guy in front of you fills 20 little cups of salsa and guacamole. read more

Delicious food and fast service considering the wait times! They know how to keep the menu simple and delicious! I'm not usually in Mesa, but when I am this place makes a great eat! read more
