    beef tacos and yuca fries

    Wow. Delicious! this was really a great experience and the food was amazing. everyone was super nice and the food tasted warm and fresh and home cooked. I ordered a beef taco and yuca fries and it was definitely top ten tacos i've had. The yuca fries could have used some more sauce. The only thing i would change is that they only have six tables plus about four counter seats so it was difficult to find a place to sit. overall 9.5/10 food, 7/10 experience because of the lack of seating options

    Menu. Back Yard Taco.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Edgartown. Very casual. Personable owners everything is made fresh for each order. Small with few seats but worth the wait. Another location opening in Oak Bluffs this summer. Enjoy

    One of those gem hole-in-the-wall eateries, where the tortillas are handmade in-house, and the flavors are amazing. The fish taco was great, but the clear winner was the falafel taco. Since it was vacation, I tried a spicy margarita with my late lunch, and it was just the right combo of tequila, sweet, and spicy. This place is going in my list of favorites!!

    Small place. Great tacos. A long wait time though. Grab a table or sit outside and eat. Very reasonable. Margarita s weren't great.

    Pico was mush, nothing was fresh, and it's overpriced for the product you are getting. I would NOT recommend eating here. It's just bad.

    Tacos are delicious and people are nice but food takes a long time but maybe that's because they have so many customers .

    Casa Vallarta - Chicken Fajitas

    Casa Vallarta

    (258 reviews)

    $$

    Casa Vallarta in Falmouth is a fun, lively spot that feels perfect for families, groups, or anyone…read morewho wants to have a drink or two and forget about inflation for an hour. The energy is upbeat without being chaotic, and it feels like a place where people are actually enjoying themselves. The food is good and tastes authentically Mexican, which makes sense considering much of the staff is as authentic as it gets. That always matters. Portions are generous, which helps balance out some of the pricing and keeps you from leaving hungry or annoyed. If I had one knock, it would be that prices are a bit higher than they used to be, but honestly that is everywhere and everyone is just trying to survive. Service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. You can see why this place is a local staple and also a magnet for tourists. It knows exactly what it is and leans into it. And the drinks deserve a special mention. They are stiff in the best way and absolutely appreciated. Overall a solid choice when you want good food, strong drinks, and a night that feels like a small vacation.

    Be aware when paying cash here!!! They will rip your receipt away and give you back what they want…read more When brought to their attention, you're told you can come back for your money, but they completely miss the point that they have thieves working for them!! What's worse is we aren't some tourists visiting, we live here!! They just lost a very loyal customer.

    This is a 10-minute Uber ride from the main drag of Nantucket…read more For ambiance, this is as bare bones as you can get, with no effort made to give it a lively, fun, colorful vibe. Incredibly bland or no decor. Storefront is as plain as the food. The service was okay to subpar. They were out of tamarindo agua fresca. They have nearly no vegetarian items. I asked for a simple burrito with only the base ingredients listed, and they still gave me a burrito with all kinds of vegetables including zucchini, onion, squash, and other random things not listed in the menu description. A lot of hassle to get the correct one made and that one wasn't very good either. The manager didn't care enough to come out to acknowledge, and the food took 30+ minutes to be served. They were busy but you can always send the server to give updates on food status. $3 for a tiny spoon of sour cream, which doesn't accompany the main entree we ordered (beef tacos). The men's restroom was atrociously filthy. Trash everywhere, piss on the seats and floor. Sticky floors. I don't recommend this spot. $62 with tax and tip. Take your money elsewhere.

    I was a bit leery of going to a restaurant that has only been open for 8 days. I've gotten burned…read moreeither by poor food or bad service. Luckily, the food and the service were both very good and shows that they definitely want to put their best foot forward. You can tell that they've just opened in the sense that they were still working on the soda dispenser behind the bar and everybody was working on their communication skills between the front of the house and the kitchen. I had the guacamole and chips to start. It was mild and while not bland, usually I like it with a little more of a kick. But both the chips and the guacamole were fresh. I next had the steak fajitas for dinner. It was served with rice, refried beans and soft tortillas. One thing that I would hope that they would do is that almost every Mexican restaurant that serves fajitas has accompaniments such as shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and some kind of hot sauce to put on the fajitas as you wish. Having said that, the steak was extremely well seasoned and had plenty of peppers and onions as well. This is minor complaint in that, like I said, they have only been open 8 days and still have some kinks to work out until they get their bearings about them. I didn't get the bartender's name ( Cicillia? ), but you could definitely tell that this isn't her first restaurant job and was on the ball with making sure that I was well taken care of. I would definitely go back, especially once they get the hang of things. Their future looks bright as when I left, there wasn't a parking spot to be found and all of the tables were full with other customers. One thing that I would suggest is to bring some patience as it isn't for a lack of effort. Being Nantucket, is isn't as if the island has much for ethnic restaurants and it might take a while to get in the swing of things, but either way, I would not hesitate to come back.
