If you’ve never tried a gordita, you are seriously missing out. 😍

That thick, handmade masa is soft, a little chewy, and so good on its own.

This one is topped with melty cheese and birria, then finished with cilantro and red onion. So simple, so good.

Who else is on team gordita? 🌮

10/14/2026

FAQ: Why do we grill over mesquite? 🔥

Because mesquite gives our meats that smoky, slightly charred flavor you just can’t fake.

It’s a big part of what makes Tacos al Carbon taste like Tacos al Carbon, and it’s been part of the Backyard Taco flavor from the beginning.

Fresh ingredients + mesquite fire = Mexcellence.

10/13/2026

Edwin shows us why Backyard Taco has some of the best tacos in Arizona. 🌮🔥

A little cocina magic in every bite. 😎

10/07/2026

FAQ: Why is our original University location the only Backyard Taco without a drive-thru?

Simple answer: there just isn’t enough room for one at that location.

University is where Backyard Taco started, and the site wasn’t built with drive-thru space in mind. As we opened newer locations, drive-thru convenience became part of the plan.

So while University may be the OG without a drive-thru, you can still order ahead for pickup and get the same fresh, mesquite-grilled Mexcellence. 🌮🔥

10/06/2026

Forget the flowers. Buy her tacos. 🌮🌸
