    Brussels sprouts, steak, and egg
    Kevin T.

    Simply delicious and packed with TONS of flavor. My favorite dish now @ front yard tacos. These folks are always extremely nice and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and check them out. By the way they are cranking out some amazing coffee also.

    B M P and Tiki Tacos
    Ryan M.

    I recently had the pleasure of having an early lunch at Front Yard Tacos after my father saw it featured on 'Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives' and insisted I go check the place out. Situated right in downtown and across from a park, the taco truck- yes, it's a fabulous walk-up taco truck housing two chefs!- sits in front of Nova Coffee, surrounded by picturesque oak trees and historic townhomes. It wasn't too busy yet so I parked on the street and made my way to the window. There are menus on display boards but I asked the friendly young woman with the red hair to choose for me. While I waited, I meandered into Nova Coffee, a clean cut, modern looking shop and picked out an iced coffee with an ample side of friendly tips and advice from the owner for exploring Mobile. I found a table outside and was enjoying the sunshine- it was a beautiful, breezy day- when my order was brought over to the table. The chefs had chosen the 'B N' P Taco' which consisted of sweet potato, chipotle maple black beans, holy trinity, eggs, pickled onion, 'not ranch" sauce and the 'Tiki Taco' which had a tamari glaze, then flash flash fried brussels topped with pineapple ginger slaw, smothered mushrooms, onions, pickled jalapeño, miso aioli, and crema. They were both so delicious that I could have been completely satisfied with just one taco, but then completely dissatisfied if I hadn't devoured the other- so, long story short, I left my delicious lunch with nothing but the wrapping and tray they were delivered on! If you are out and about in downtown Mobile, I highly recommend lunch at Front Yard Tacos- you might leave fat, but at least you'll be happy . Cheers.

    Front Yard Spread with Steak & Chorizo
    Marcia S.

    I left a negative review before, but the way FRONT YARD TACOS came back with this chorizo FRONT YARD spread I had to come and double down with the five stars. This is one of my favorite spots in downtown MOBILE and I eat it every time I'm in town and they just don't Miss. I just feel like that one time was a fluke and I'm here to say it because the food is always phenomenal the jalapeño sauce the pickled onions. Everything on this meal is delicious so if you're ever down here, please stop by and it's well under 20 bucks Like you can't beat it! Thank you Claire for making this right. You have a lifelong customer!

    Taco truck to the left of Nova Coffee (yum!) and shared outdoor seating
    Elena P.

    Shares a yard with Nova Coffee (yum!) Good amount of free street parking spots. Quick and friendly service. My steak tacos were tasty with big chunks of steak, plentiful thick-sliced avocado, and good flavor from the sauce. You pick corn or flour tortillas (I went with corn.) The tots were hot and freshly fried, a little too much seasoning salt but still good. I skipped the ranch due to dairy sensitivity but the spicy mayo type option did the trick.

    This is a food truck in front of a coffee house. Hours: Taco Tuesday 8 till 7. Wednesday-Sunday 8 till 2. I ordered the backyard burrito, but substituted the ground beef for steak, and added avocado. Unfortunately I got charged extra for the avocado but it was not in the burrito. I am still giving it 5 stars because of HOW GOOD IT IS!! Steak, tots, cheese topped with queso, crema, sun dried tomatoes, 'not ranch' tomato, green onion. Every bite was extremely delicious and it had plenty of steak! They didn't skimp out. Extremely satisfied! I will be coming back. If you haven't tried this place out I highly recommend it! They have plenty of seating outside and it is somewhat shaded.

    Guy was right!! This place is amazing. The food is familiar yet different. Such a cute outdoor eating space. First visit but will not be my last!!

    Wow! Quite literally stumbled on this place while we were driving from Destin to New Orleans. What a hidden gem. Such passion into each serving. The flavor was off the charts. I went inside to tell the manager we were so pleased. I looked up and noticed Guy Fieri just taped a show about a week earlier. Do yourself a solid and stop by now before this place gets crazy.

    Buffalo chicken and Carne asada tacos
    Kelsey C.

    We were looking for a quick bite to eat and we're pleasantly surprised to find a market happening behind the location as well. The menu is simple and everything is made to order. The Buffalo chicken had the right amount of kick to make it perfect and the carne asada was very juicy. You can tell all of the ingredients are extremely fresh. We will revisit next time we are in town to try more things.

    Mountain water
    Tina S.

    I was pleasantly surprised. They have a queso dip that was the best I've had in a long time, certainly the best in Mobile. I ate the steak taco which was very tender with scrambled eggs and I wish I had a salsa to put on it because all their sauces were from bottle like crystal, Tabasco, which I don't like on my tacos. Chips came with the queso and they were awesome!. The mountain water was good but it was in a can and I didn't like that, it was my fault because I know they have cups I just didn't ask. I loved it and will be back. The people that were working it were very nice and accommodating which I love!

    Lived up to the hype! Go now!
    Kelly J.

    Great food great vibes! Steak and egg taco was amazing! Queso and the "not ranch" is a must!

    Burrito and huevos rancheros (both vegetarian w/o bacon)
    Lauren C.

    Delicious as always! This time we tried the huevos rancheros and burrito which can both be made vegetarian without the bacon. Quick and friendly service. Nice assortment of hot sauces. Lovely day to enjoy the patio.

    Egg and steak breakfast taco
    Erica S.

    So delicious. Missed having retried beans and salsa, but overall super yum. Total hipster joint in a beautiful part of town not far from the interstate. Worth the detour. Super nice

    See all

    For as long as I lived in Mobile, Carnicería y Taqueria San Jose has eluded me. I've seen the name…read moreof this restaurant when searching Mexican food but never realized where it was. It's been hiding in plain sight to me. Anyway I wanted to try some Mexican food but the real kind and not the fake. I at first thought I wanted some tacos but I ultimately settled on quesadillas. The reason I picked quesadillas over tacos was mainly because quesadillas came with rice and beans. It was that simple. I ordered my meal online and decided to head over to the restaurant. I got there earlier than what the estimated time in my email said my food would be ready. The place was pretty close to packed. I realized the store was more than a restaurant because it displayed cuts of meat in the glass counter. I saw a family with children with popsicles that the parents had purchased along with the meal. When I moved further in the store I was approached by a employee and I told them I made an online order. She went back in the kitchen and came back with my food after a short wait. When I got back home, I couldn't wait to eat. There was a plate for salad and a plate for the quesadilla with the rice and beans. I mixed up the salad with the rice and beans. I don't eat Mexican food a lot so I'm not sure if that's how it's done but that's how I did it. I enjoyed it. Next I tried the carne asada quesadilla. This was like no quesadilla I had before. I say this knowing all quesadillas basically consist of the same thing: dough, meat, and cheese. This quesadilla was on another level because each of those ingredients were much better than what I've experienced before. The cheese was really the star of the quesadilla. It was so rich. I really loved this quesadilla. It was the best one I've ever had in life. Before I forget I want to mention I bought a Mexican Coca Cola with my meal. I could taste the difference from regular Coke but I can't exactly describe it. I loved it though. I really want to come back here and try more items on the menu.

I know ala Cocina has a pretty good reputation. I scanned the online menu and it didn't take me long to find the birria tacos. It came with two sides. I decided to try the charro beans and Spanish rice. The email I received said my wait would be about 20 minutes. I drove to the restaurant and waited in my car for a bit. When I walked in the restaurant there was someone attending to some tables. The was a sign to ring the bell to get some service but the waitress saw me. I told her that I had an online order and within a few minutes my food was ready. When I got home I noticed there was chips and salsa in my bag as well as the other items I ordered. I didn't realize my meal came with chips and salsa. I guess that's not out of the ordinary but it was a pleasant surprise. Anyway I started with the rice and then with the beans. There was nothing really special with the rice but I don't think I've had charro beans. They seem to be beans with what seemed like vienna sausage. It didn't taste bad. I really didn't know what to expect. On the to birria tacos. The definite star of the show. Being that my food was take out there was some sogginess to the taco shell but the tacos held up pretty good. I dipped the first taco in the consommé (yes, I googled it). It was very savory and the meat was tender. I don't eat a lot of authentic Mexican food but I know what good food tastes like. I definitely would recommend the birria tacos from La Cocina.
