    First time having Backyard Taco and I wouldn't go back. The absolute worst tacos I had since living in Arizona. Why is it hard to find good Mexican food here

    Ok so I've actually been twice to check this place out. First time I went I tried carne asada tacos and a Gordita. Stay away from the carne asada , just trust me. Now for the al pastor which I've tried in their Papa Loco bowl and as a Gordita , AMAZING! The birria is also delicious. I would definitely go back but there are some items on the menu that have been a miss!

    I absolutely love their Al Pastor tacos and their Jamaica. I'm so happy that there is one closer to me!

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

Blink and you might miss it!! but trust me, you don't want to. We pulled up on a Thursday night for the $2.50 taco special, and let me tell you... it did not disappoint. The music was on point, the Tio Rancheros were flowing, and if it wasn't a weekday I probably would've ordered another bucket. We grabbed a bucket of ice-cold Estrella Jalisco beers, which paired perfectly with the food. The staff was super friendly when we ordered, and our tacos came out fast, always a plus. I ordered the carnitas and carne asada tacos, while my girlfriend went with the al pastor. These are street-style tacos, so they're on the smaller side, but for that price on this side of town? You really can't beat it. The carnitas were a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but the carne asada was juicy and full of flavor. The al pastor tacos were really good too!especially with the pineapple. Big bonus points for the sautéed serrano on the side. I love to enchilarme! , so that was a major win for me. They also serve grilled onions and both red and green salsas (both on the milder side). The vibes were super welcoming, and all the art around the space really sets it apart. Huge shoutout to Michael Lambard ! the talented Phoenix artist behind the massive mural inside. That artwork was actually one of the reasons I wanted to check this place out in the first place. Glad I did. Great music, solid tacos, cold beer, welcoming energy. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try.

All their drinks were fantastic (well-balanced, and flavorful), tried them all hahaha from their margaritas, to the Paloma's but our favorite was the 'Picosa Rosa' - Delicious!!! The atmosphere alone makes this place worth the visit. They also have a DJ playing after 8pm with great music! The food absolutely delivered too. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell this is a spot that knows what it's doing-from the menu to the setup to the overall energy. Awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome place. Can't wait to come back!

I usually get the barbacoa tacos and horchata. The meats are cooked to perfection and I have to fight the temptation of taking more tacos home with me to go because they are so good. Pro tip, bring cash. They charge a small fee if you pay with card. When you come to the lot you will see two trucks named La Frontera. Go to the one closer to the jack in the box next door. Parking is available in the lot. There is a good amount of tables and chairs.

I think the only difference between #1 and #2 is #2 has a food truck for mariscos and tierra; #1 only has tierra. My go to has always been a cabeza burrito and horchata. I never get any salsa because the burrito itself is pure amazingness- lots of flavor, lots of meat and toppings. The horchata is a massive jug. Not the best for someone with "the beetus" but it's a solid drink. This La Frontera has a more difficult parking situation - maybe 10 spots total right off 35th Ave (not Lincoln). If none of those are available you could probably street park along Lincoln. It's definitely a busy lunchtime spot during the week- so timing your arrival is key for parking. Have never been steered wrong here and the staff are always pleasant and smiles.
