Salsa bar is a really nice accompaniment to the fine cuisine in the backyard taco shoppe.Spacious outdoor seating with fans when it is hot and heaters for the cooler weather.Large menu with something for all tastes.The smell of the grilling steaks is aromatic upon entering the establishment. Friendly efficient staffing makes this a special dining experience.

Hi Roberto, thank you for visiting us, your awesome comments and for the 5 Star Review. We truly appreciate your business!! Please tell a friend.
The takeout service was terrible.They expected a large tip and if you didn't tip at least 20%, they would "forget" everything.We had to drive through the drive-thru 4 times to get our complete order, and at the end, the staff told us they had no salt or lime.However, when we went inside, we saw that they actually had everything.It seemed like tipping them well was necessary to ensure they would deliver the order correctly.My recommendation is to go to the Mesa location instead!

Hi RP, We deeply apologize for your drive thru experience - we will share this with the team in the efforts to improve.Thanks for letting us know because if we do not know we can never improve.
So I checked in to Backyard taco in the drive-they and Yelp gave my partner and I a coupon for a free medium drink! This helped a ton because the date between my man and I was rather expensive, so this was a nice free bee! The restaurant was well kept, even the drive thru! The service was phenomenal, especially the way the lady handled our coupon! It was a very nice ambiance and of course the food is amazing! Will definitely return to this backyard taco off of Higley.Thank you so much Backyard Taco team!
