I had 3 tacos, beef, chicken and AL pastor. The pastor was delish but chicken and beef were kinda dry. Probably won't go again unless it is someone else's idea. Wasn't horrible but wasn't great. read more

Staff is always friendly and food is delicious. Frequent this location and they are pretty consistent. I usually switch between the carne asada or birria burrito. The drive thru is pretty convenient too. read more

My friend was going on and on about this place. We were not all that impressed. Again, I will try eating there before I cement my opinion. Some foods do not Uber well. read more

Food was delicious as always! The cashier guy was super friendly too! (I'm sorry I missed your name) It's very clean and orderly and I love their salsa bar. People need to come here often it's a nice spot. Their steak is superior so I always get their carne asada tacos with both regular corn soft tortillas and on a tostada! Horchata was really good (not grainy)! read more

Not the first time this happens. First time writing a review. But I went in tonight again to give it another try. I got the tostada and it was burned, a burned tortilla doesn't taste good. It did not have any topping but lots of cheese which I requested less of. I forget that this place you have to ask for toppings. But shouldn't it come with it already? Like pickled onions or radish on the side or anything a taco or tostada should come with. And Why ask for a tip through drive through if you're not going to do a good job. Tip stand is "to insure proper service." It's annoying, when there is no service. Another time I asked for toppings and the girl said she'd have to go around the restaurant because she didn't have those topping on hand. They don't want to be bothered. But as a restaurant you should provide the toppings of a taco. I shouldn't have to go in and grab it. What's the point of the tip if you're getting burned food. I'm not going back. read more

$7.31 out the door for a bean and cheese burrito and the cheese was non existent. There are 4 other Mexican restaurants on Gilbert Fast casual SB $5.60 LF $4.80 Fast food DT $1.70 TB $1.69 7.31 for beans cheese and tortilla is absurd and this location has had notorious problems with drive through quality and getting everything you ask for. I've never loved a place so much and been so constantly disappointed. read more

Came here for taco Tuesdays and they did not disappoint. They have $2.25 carne asada tacos which I have been wanting to try for sometime. Tacos were good and have cabbage and onions on top. They also have a red sauce which to me is pretty close to a salsa that they add as well. The meat was good, had more flavorful other places, but the portion size made up for that. Tacos are amazing with the amount of meat you get thus the five stars. Definitely will be back. They also have a drive through which is a plus. read more

Backyard Taco - Carne Asada Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Not super impressed but will give this place another try. Went on opening weekend and the girl at the drive-thru wasn't friendly and hardly acted like she wanted to help me order. Quesadilla was good and the burritos were very large, however the chicken seemed dry. The Asada Burritos was very scrumptious and I loved the hot sauce options. I wanted to love this place but I think I need to try again in case I had a bad experience towards opening. read more

First-Time Customers Due to Covid my family and I decided to go through the drive thru. Ordered 1 Chicken Taco Family meal ( Half corn tortillas and Half flour) and 3 Beef Tacos flour tortillas. We was given enough condiments for our meal (Red & Green Salsa & Guac? Idk we didn't eat that one because it was runny & suspicious) The meat though!!!! Very flavorful and tortillas well made not too doughy or hard. The only SUGGESTION I would provide would be to invest in the separation of your ground shredded lettuce, sauteed onions, roasted whole peppers, and grilled onions!!! Having all provided on ONE styrofoam plate covered with foil doesn't make good, (maybe small separated styrofoam CUPS WITH LIDS), especially when you don't ask patrons if they even would like any of it, or just a couple sides. Our mouth's were on fire!!! read more

This place is just 4 miles from the house and I've seen it under construction waiting for a good opportunity to try. Service was quick and friendly. One of the managers (brand ambassador) was making sure everything was good. Nice clean airy atmosphere. The Al Pastor tacos are delicious. The carne asada and pollo tacos are quite good too, they do need the sauce on them otherwise a little dry. Simple menu done well. read more

I was hesitant when I saw the popular Crazy Potato on the menu. How could an authentic taco restaurant have something as silly as a Crazy Potato? I tried it and I absolutely love the flavors together. The toppings are all full of authentic flavor ! I went for carne asada meat and was very pleased with the tenderness , quality and flavor. It's the carne asada this area has been missing. I've been back about three times with my family and we have tried several items. My favorites are the birria or carne asada Gordita , birria tacos, any of the crazy potatos - so delicious. The kids like the chicken bueno bowl and chicken crazy potato. Salsas ! Many to choose from and all are wonderful. The birria sauce was good but too hot for me. So I stuck with the pico and guacamole salsa. You can never have too much pico and cilantro . Now if they would just add a machaca and egg burrito for the weekend crowd that would be amazing. read more

Very Convenient and good food. I celebrated my son's birthday with him (we both work from home) and had this delivered. It was absolutely perfect. Knowing I could count on their quality and speedy service, I brought my mom for lunch a week later. As usual, great service and great flavors. Thank you so much. read more

Just went through the drive through and had a simple order messed up !!! Check your order when you go there. Clearly ordered 2 tacos 2 tostadas and one chip and salsa. Got 2 tacos 1 tostada and 2 chips and salsa. But the "we care less part about what we are doing" Is the 12 sides of limes to go with the 2 little tacos . . . read more

My dog and I went through the drive thru tonight and had a great experience! The food was delicious as always, the staff was extremely friendly, and they even threw in a little treat for my pup :) made my night to see that and my dogs at home were especially happy! read more

Not bad. But the chicken and steak tasted a bit weird. They had a strong stove after taste . Maybe they don't clean the stoves frequently throughout the day and it leaves an aftertaste of other foods that have been grilled on it. It wasn't too pleasant to be honest . However , the orchata tasted great and kudos for keeping this place clean. read more

I love their carne asada!!! The Birria is pretty good too. Be sure to try the jalapeño salsa.

What kind of kitchen doesn't put cheese on a quesadilla? This is chopped, grilled chicken and a tortilla... Actually ridiculous considering the overpriced portions. Can guarantee I will not be returning. If you don't want to be disappointed with the food you're paying money for, DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Backyard Taco - "Stuffed Chicken Quesadilla" - Tacos Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

It is great to now have a Backyard Taco in Gilbert. The restaurant is 'huge' inside its plenty of open seating. The outside patio is also very large. The staff is all 'masked and gloved up' for Covid requirements that are strictly enforced. The wonderful aroma of the charcoal grill cooking some very amazing steak, chicken and pork smells amazing. The quality is top shelf and the quantity of meat in the tortillas is crazy. We have now been to this location twice in the past week and both times it was very enjoyable. I highly recommend supporting our new friends at BYT ...Enjoy! read more

The tacos are good. They've got flavor. I'm from California so Paying more than $1.50 for street tacos to me is absurd but their price was about the average for the area. I'm keto so it was nice to get some keto options. I got a custom ketodilla (trademark pending). I asked for a chicken melted between cheese. They put it in a bowl so close enough lol it was good. Then I got a Birria Bueno bowl with no beans, added cheese and sour cream but they forgot to add it so it was just meat. The birria was good tho. My bd enjoyed his tacos and quesadilla Overall I'd eat there again. read more

Tried this for the first time. I thought the food was good the tacos were excellent, they are street taco size. The Al Pastor taco was especially good, good flavor. The salsa bar had lots of choices, the red creamy sauce is super hot I could just use a little. The Tostada was a little disappointing it was just a tortilla, beans and cheese, that's it, tasted good but I would probably not get it again. The chips and salsa was average the chips were ok but the salsa was good, also it was a serving for 1 maybe 2 people. This place is not for everyone, obviously if you read other reviews, but it's good to me and I will be back. read more

This was one of the worst meals I've ever paid for. The meat was so dry that it reminded me of dog kibble, you can't just use hot holding for meat all day long. It was so dry and flavorless that I almost spit it out. It was pricey too, $20 for three tiny tacos with beans and rice, so I wasn't even full either. Pretty much a complete waste of money. read more

Cinco E Mayo and what no Margaritas. It wasn't completely full so I got the Message. I really wanted a drink but decided to stay anyway. My taco was not bad but the burrito was way too big for my belly. Next time I would just have 2 tacos. I thought the food was tasty and I would return. read more

Regretfully tonight was the last time I will be going to this location. While the food is great, the only thing consistent about the service is something will be left out of your order. Too many nights someone in my family had to dig in the fridge for leftovers because we discovered their dinner was missing once we got home. If you choose to brave this place be sure you check your order before you drive away. A note to the manager - refunding me for the item YOU missed in my order after arguing with me is not called customer service, it's called not stealing my money. Customer service (if you really cared about it) would look more like offering a coupon for our next visit for the trouble. A strategy like that might actually encourage me to give you a fourth try after screwing up 3 orders instead of getting on yelp to share your shortfalls. read more

My family and I ordered from this location last minute from a third party app, quite satisfied. The food came fresh and fast. We had the family pack (1 pound of a Birria along with 16 tortillas and salsa) quite tasty along with beef gorditas. The gorditas alone were full of meat and cheese and satisfying. The to-go bags were full of napkins, assorted salsa's, and of course the food. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Food was amazing, but the side sauce..not so much. Unless we just got a bad batch. But regardless, I'd come back. They're good portions and affordable. I'll probs just bring my own hot sauce next time. read more

I had this before at the mesa location. I absolutely love there tacos . And that crazy potato is pretty good as well. Reminds me of street food in LA . Well closest to it at less. LA is forever my home and always has fire ass food. Anyways... service is always great and this location in chandler the restaurant is super huge and very clean read more

The food is great, but the staff not so much. There is always the same girl at the window whose rude, doesn't say a word to you, and shuts the window super fast before you can even ask for anything. When you ask for salsa she gives you attitude. I ordered a Birria burrito and asked for no cilantro, drove all the way home to see it LOADED with cilantro. She obviously didn't listen. Came back to get my burrito fixed and the cook was rude handing it to me.. if I were the owners of this location I'd find new staff immediately I won't be coming back to this location. read more

I love this place but this time I was disappointed. Went last night and ordered thru drive thru. I got a birria quesadilla and when i got home and took a bite there was something hard in my quesadilla so i looked into the meat and found a round metal piece mixed with the meat. Im not really too sure how they can missed it when it was pretty big. It was round metal with little holes on it and 2 big metal pcs sticking out. I was so disappointed and did not eat my food. read more

Some great authentic tacos. We do have to modify some of our order because of all the onions for the kids but for the most part we don't have any problems with that request I love their salsas and chips and desserts! read more

I ordered the Birria tacos and there was nothing birria about them. they were dry, had no cheese, didn't come with any consommé for dipping.. there was no sauce on them at all. i got a side of refried beans & they were cold. read more

Went here last night...Absolutely disgusting. The gal who took my order was unhelpful and super impatient. I had never been here so I didn't know the ins and outs of the menu. I watched them make the burritos, the 2 kitchen cooks kept looking at me suspiciously. Which made me suspicious and was afraid they would do something to my food. Next to the food an employee was cleaning the grill and spraying degreaser which I'm sure was getting sprinkled all over the food. Yuck. We got home and our burritos had been soaked in grease. They purposely dipped the tortillas in grease. Spent over $40 and we could not eat our food. The manager needs to contact me after reading this. read more

This place gets all the stars. I ordered dinner from here tonight and I'm so glad I did! I ordered via doordash, so the delivery was contactless and that could not have gone smoother. Now on to the food. I ordered two tacos: one chicken, one al pastor, (both on flour tortillas) chips and beans, and flan. This was not only my first time trying backyard taco, it was my first time trying an al pastor taco. The chicken taco blew my mind it was so good. I honestly wish I'd have gotten 2. The al pastor was alright - I don't have anything to compare it to, but I can say that, in my opinion, it was not as good as the chicken. The chips and beans were also really good. The chips had a delightful crunch and were nice and thin. The only disappointing part of the meal was the flan; It was surprisingly dense and bitter. I was looking for something sweeter and lighter, so I was a bit disappointed there. Overall, my experience was worth what I paid and I would totally come here again. read more

Maybe the best tacos ever. Hard to beat for the price. Usually street tacos have almost no meat but that was not the case here. I will be back for sure. read more

Well, this place wasn't as I expected. Especially for the price. They offer no rice and burritos taste very bland.

Always fresh and the quantity of food is always consistent. Love their salsa bar. It's always fresh and available

Tried Backyard Taco for the first time today on Taco Tuesday. Went thru the drive thru and got Al Pastor, Birria, 2 Carne Asada tacos and beans. I asked to try all the salsas and they were happy to oblige. It was delicious and now I know which salsa I like. So glad to have this new location close by. read more

In the Drive thru The first time I went to the Chandler location I signed up for the app and was not able to use the free taco. The person at the window said the system was down so they gave me a coupon for a free taco. My next two visits have not gone so well using the coupon, At the drive thru my paper receipt and what I was charged on my credit card have been different. The first time I caught it at the reader. Then the person at the window complained that the wifi was not good and things don't always work. Blaming the wifi for the register and cc reader not sinking. today I asked if the app was working an was told by the same person that the wifi was bad at this store and to take a screen shot. She read the bar code on my phone and it took off 1 taco. looked at my paper receipt it showed 2 tacos and one was subtracted. GREAT the app is working. then about 10 minuets later the text from my bank showed the original total. Then I realized I had to make them change the total on the card reader. So I have decided to not go to this location any more. But seeing as the other locations are nowhere on my daily paths I probably just wont go to any locations. To bad I really liked the food and my wife who doesn't like Mexican food actually liked yours. read more

I just want to say -- my pals and I were helped by Lydia and she absolutely passed the vibe check. She was *so* patient as we made four separate orders with four separate forms of payment. Then she offered a whole bag of salsa without even having to ask!! Like, what? Can you remember the last time you had a truly over the top amazing experience with a server? This girl needs a raise. I'm serious. If her manager is reading this, our girl needs some serious recognition. We will be back again and again in hopes she is there, or someone else who can meet the example of quality she set. Amazing energy. Oh, and the food was really good too. read more

sorry but I'm going to be "that guy". I've been to other BYT and the tacos were yum. This time I ordered an al pastor burrito, at this new location. It hit my no-bueno-button: grissel and fat, albiet not a lot. Gotta get that meat clean folks. Staff was friendly (... and learning). Also, it was supa-cold up in there, brrrr-ito. Shivering as we ate. I'll come back another time and dine on street tacos, and I'll update my review, but for now, clean that meat my friends. read more
