Amazing food and great customer service. Good drinks and al pastor and carne Assad's tacos taste amazing.

My pollo asada burrito wasn't much. The meat didn't have tons of flavor but my boyfriend enjoyed his carne asada burrito. The meat was dry as well in his burro. The guac sauce is great. Kinda over priced though. read more

Used to love this place for taco Tuesday and for late night eats but more and more it's becoming disappointing. Prices are going up and portions have decreased by half or more. If it's not a Tuesday it's not worth it. Pastor used to be amazing but today it was dry and tasteless and no piña. read more

Crazy rush here, lots of crowd but we did not seem to like the food much. Not made to our taste. Felt the chicken to be dry, beans had no taste. Quantity poor for the price. More like a take out. Place was not kept clean, spills everywhere. Did not work for us but a huge crowd pleaser it seemed.. read more

Great food! Been here quite a few times. It's good to come here during Taco Tuesday for $1.95. All other menu items are still quite expensive but good. If they offered coupons.... I'd come more often. Js. Btw, I love the smell when you first walk in there. I was happy. read more

Always a great taco and service for the night. Always a crowd. Try everything at least once

Backyard Taco - Order here. - Tacos Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I love this place! There tacos are to die for! And I love their salsa bar! (Who doesn't love salsa) I would have given them 5 stars, but sometimes you have wait a long time. It's worth the wait, though! read more

Stopped by after a Cubs Spring Training game and it hit the spot! All of the meats are cooked perfectly.

Very good food. We went there as a family of 8 and they had a table outside. It would have been bad but they had the misters going and it was nice. I can tell you that they give you quite a bit of food and it's all very good. There was not anything left on out table to eat[ sorry birds] If you have not tried this place, you're missing out. Chicken Burro is Greaaaaat!!! read more

AWESOME!! Everyrhing was so good, you cant go wrong! The wait was lengthy so go with some extra time, well worth the wait. Ive been back x3, will be back again!! I recommend the Carne Asada, but again, you cant go wrong! read more

This is probably one of the WORST places I've ever been to!! I had ate at the location on Stapley and liked it but I was closer to this location and decided to try it. - All of the staff was RUDE!! -All of the meat was way over cooked(charred) and COLD!! The cheese didn't even melt on the beans. -The chips were stail and cold and came out after we already had our food. -The food was waay over priced too!! $30.00 for acouple tacos, beans, 1 drink, piece of cake and chips that we didn't even eat. We just left because they were already argue mental. My order was wrong, so I asked them to correct it and then the girl was like did he do it? (Then she's rolling her eyes and sighing at me) I said yes, then she starts arguing with him and then he starts arguing with me! I'm sorry that he was too busy talking to another girl while trying to take our order and not even paying attention to us but I did not want cabbage on my tacos. He told me that I wanted lettuce, yes lettuce NOT cabbage. I would never suggest this location to anyone because the experience is part of wanting to come back, not to mention the quality of the food being served to you!! The tacos are not good at all. the only thing that we kinda ate was the dessert and that was ok. Spend your money somewhere that's worth eating at. read more

Go to the original location on university between Gilbert and Stapley. They have my favorite street tacos. Make sure you try the homemade salsa. The meat is cooked right in front of you, so you know it's fresh. I would eat here every day if I could. read more

Backyard Taco is one of my go to restaurants! Everyone is always welcoming and the food is fast and fresh

Yum! I so hope this place stays open for good! It's a simple menu and I love that they have Mexican sodas. Their tacos are so good, even the tortillas are grilled. Service is great, I'm pretty sure it was the owner the last couple times we've been there. Friendly man. I'm glad they got rid of those clueless little girls when they first opened. Place is clean and I love how they fixed it up. Con: They're closed Sundays! read more

We love this place! When we first moved from California, we began searching for a good take-out Mexican food place. Surprisingly, we were having a hard time finding one until we found Backyard Taco. We eat here pretty regularly now. We find the tacos to be good, but we like the burritos even more! The restaurant is always clean. Also, they have a good selection of salsa's to choose from. If I knock them for anything, it is the guacamole. It is runny and seems like it came out of a squirt bottle - I'd rather have the real stuff. That aside, I highly recommend Backyard Taco! read more

We've been by this place a number of times since we live right by it and we finally decided to try it. The family was starving and I was in the mood to try something new. I ordered some chicken and beef tacos, chicken and beef tostadas, a cheese quesadilla, some chips/salsa, and flan to go. It didn't take too long for the order. It was probably in the 5-10 minute range. I took it all home and placed it on the table for everyone to dig in. We pulled out the tacos and tostadas. The meat was great! Everyone agreed that the tacos were better than the tostadas. The tostadas seemed to be a little on the crispy side. The kids tore through the quesadilla so I'm assuming it was pretty good. The chips and salsa were very good. They also give you a salsa bar to select different kinds of salsa which is very nice. We sampled the different salsas and found them all to be very tasty. We all finished and it was time for dessert...the flan. Wait, all the bags were open...where was the flan??? Well $&%@!!!! They didn't give us the flan but they were nice enough to charge us for it. I have to admit it was one of the pictures I saw here on yelp and it looked so good. I was really looking forward to trying it. I thought about going back and the kids wanted me to go back but it was late on a Monday night and I just wasn't feeling like going to argue for flan. I've been debating between giving this place a 3 or a 4. I really liked the meat but I'm really pissed about the flan. I finally decided to go ahead and give it a 4. I did like the flavor of the meat and I will probably return for more tacos. If you get takeout I would highly suggest giving your bag a couple of extra checks to make sure you aren't missing any items or you risk getting home and being disappointed. read more

The best taco place in AZ!! Huge fan of the family meal with half beef/half chicken, a side of beans and two cheese quesadillas. They are always busy at nights, which makes the wait a little longer than ideal but shows that I am not the only one that loves their food. read more

Back Yard Taco. Fantastic lunch. This place is close to my place of employment and is fairly priced and the chicken menu is delicious. Lunch time rush is a bit much however, the service is petty quick. Frequent stop for me. Recommend to all. read more

Just finished my first round of street tacos at Backyard. Normal price 1.89 Taco tuesday special 1.49 I must say the fresh made grilled flour tortillas are the bomb with the carne asada !! Wow! The smokey flavored salsa is great as well from the salsa bar. The only problem i see so far is that the cost can add up. I can eat 8 street tacos @1.49 and a small drink.... About 14.50 So it does add up! .....just the smell out in the parking lot will make u nutz!! read more

Another positive taco experience. Love the casual atmosphere almost as much as the food. The local citrus is in full bloom and it smells great for outdoor seating. I have a few days off work and I came here to feel like I'm in CA close to the ocean. Enjoy the weather while you can! read more

Backyard Taco - Patio at night! - Tacos Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The tacos are without a doubt the best. The service isn't as consistent. It just seems that they have a new girl in "training" taking my order every time. This place is a real gem though. It gets packed around lunch so come early. read more

I love tacos! And this meet my wildest dreams! Definitely has my stamp of approval! read more

Backyard Taco - I'm so glad I got lost in this neighborhood and came across this place. - Tacos Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Excellent grilled steak and chicken tacos! The condiment buffet has something to satisfy everyone's palette, too. Next on the list to try is the Potato! read more

Everything is awesome!!!! Try the crazy potato! I honestly don't know which is better, the chicken or steak! Call ahead if you can, the lines are always long!! read more

The food is great! Overall a great atmosphere and full flavor selections. I did have a visit were the meat juice was runny and made the tortillas soggy so I might recommend when ordering to drain the juice. See you there! read more

I came here because people spoke so highly of it in a class I was in. My experience is that the food is good. I've had way better out of food trucks but there was nothing wrong with the food what so ever. I took away a star because the team there has absolutely no personality. They are not mean or rude, they are just blah. I watched everyone as I ate and I saw three people smile once and that was only when they were talking to each other. The older guy with the gray hair which I would consider maybe the manager has a permanent frown. I won't go back but the food is good. Update: I'm in Phoenix for another training class and everybody wanted to try backyard tacos again. I had to update to be fair so here goes. I leave it with 4 stars although the staff was much better, friendly, very observant. I still can't give 5 stars because although the food is good it's just not 5 stars. It's still a great place to eat and the prices are reasonable. read more

The food is amazing and the price is reasonable, I love this place. I eat here at least twice a week

My favorite tacos is town! Of course I haven't had a whole lot of tacos at different places. But I believe it's better than Tia Rosas, better than Rubios, Morenos, and the place at old town Gilbert. The meat is divine!!! I like beef on flour tortilla. read more

Incredible carne asada here. They use a mesquite grill which you can definitely taste and adds so much to the flavor. Many different kinds of meats to choose from as well as a salsa bar with all the toppings you can ask for, like radish, onions, cucumber as well as a few different types of salsa. You obviously can't go wrong with any of the tacos but what really stands out to me is the papa loca. Basically a grilled potato, mashed a bit, and topped with so much deliciousness the head will explode. Service is very quick and the staff is always friendly. Ample seating inside as well as a large patio with misters if it gets too warm out. Overall a great taco spot that I recommend to anyone. read more

Amazing food. You can taste the quality and the prices are more than fair. I totally recommend this secret gem.

I love the food here. But it's always crowded, loud and busy. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Parking is limited.

Wow!! This was a Hallelujah moment when bitting into their barbacoa taco! The mean was juicy and soft with great flavor! My husband got the chicken burrito and his chicken was just awesome! It was slow cooked pulled chicken so it had tons of flavor too! The burrito was a big burrito! So happy my friend recommended we come here for lunch read more

Just tried this for the first time and it is delicious. We got the chicken taco family meal. I love how they dice up the chicken, cabbage, and red onion. The seasoning on the chick is amazing!! read more

Delicious tacos in a relaxed atmosphere. Salsa bar has great options of heat and flavor.

We had an awesome visit here! It was my first place to eat at here in Arizona. I got the carne Asada burrito and it was so so good! The other people in my group got tacos and they loved it. It was incredibly busy but the waitstaff was super friendly and we got our food really fast. The prices are good and I definitely recommend this place!! read more

Love this place. Every time I go to visit my parents in Mesa I always head here for some food. The potatoes, tacos and all are just great!! I'm in love with the el pastor tacos but everything is delicious, even down to the tortillas they use. read more

I do not understand all the great reviews, because we were sorely disappointed! First off $2.25 for a small taco with meat only is obscene. Not worth more than a $1.00. I opted for a tostada with shredded beef. Onion and cilantro on the side. Imagine my amazement when it arrived and all that it was was a crispy tortilla,small, with a blob of tasteless shredded beef on top! No tomato, no lettuce and no cheese! And a little plastic plate with some minced red onion and chopped cilantro! And the side of beans were terrible. They should advertise it as bean soup. Tasteless bean soup! It astounded me that the clientele was predominantly Hispanic too! What am I missing here! Now I don't expect my Mexican food to be hot, I am accustomed to adding my desired degree of heat, but I do expect taste! This place fell so far short of that it is unbelievable! Will never go here again! read more

The food was great! Very authentic! Love seeing how they cook over charcoal for their meats! Will definitely come back here again! read more
