OK, so yes these are decent tacos... Would I call them 100% authentic... Absolutely not. They are pretty good but i'm not raving and making the drive every weekend. If you've only had taco bell and Filibertos and are comparing them to those then yes you'll fall in love with backyard. If your a Taco connoisseur (hahaha) like me and your looking for bomb street tacos, this will hold you over till you start the search again. I've only found 1 place in mesa that makes tacos to die for, and this isn't it. The restaurant was small and cramped. The salsa bar was messy as hell. I Literally ordered one of pretty much everything because I heard this was "THE SPOT FOR TACOS" and wasn't impressed. The only thing I enjoyed was the bite of my daughters chicken burrito, the chicken had good flavor. The only thing authentic was a couple of the Mexicans in the back...
