  • This is going to be legnthy but I wanted to write this review after seeing some of the negative ones. I was a huge fan of Yaya's food truck for the last 2+ years. Every time I ate off their food truck I would wait in line anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. Thats how popular and good they are! So when I heard they were opening a restuarant in Surprise I was thrilled!!!! We have so many crappy chains that it was nice to get a locally owned restaurant that makes amazing food and uses quality ingredients. My family and I were at their grand opening and it was obvious they were having some growing pains going from a food truck to a large resturant. Service was very slow and food was good but not amazing like I got off their food truck. The restaurant was jam packed so it wasn't that big of a deal. Since then I've been back 3 more times and I want to point out some inaccuracies in some of the reviews. 1) Yaya's DOES offer gluten items. This is NOT a strictly gluten free restaurant. I do appreciate that they not only offer gluten free options like corn tortillas but they offer GRAIN FREE options like cassava taco shells. I don't know why they don't advertise their cassava taco shells but they should. They are amazing!!! My daughter cannot eat gluten or corn so their grain free option is what first attracted us to Yaya's . See the photo of their menu along with my father in-laws flour tortilla that clearly shows they offer gluten items. 2) Their food is the farthest thing from greasy. I really feel like someone has it out for this restaurant and is having people post inaccurate and mean reviews. I have brought quite a few people here to eat and no one has ever complained of the food being greasy. See my attached photos of the amazing meals we had tonight. Not a drop of grease on those plates!!! 3) Their chips always come out warm with the chips and salsa. Every time I eat there. The chips are homemade and cooked in coconut oil which I really appreciate for the health factor and taste. There is no coconut or sweet taste. You just taste fresh chips. The salsa is also very good. 3) Their flavored margaritas are awesome! My husband and I each had a strawberry, banana margarita and it was perfect. 4) This is a new restaurant so can we please cut them some slack?! I can tell that they are reading the negative reviews and they have made changes. Our service tonight was lightening fast! We ordered our kids' meals the moment we sat down and by the time the rest of us placed our order their food had arrived. They all cleaned their plates! Our server was really nice because my 5 year old was freaking out that salsa was on her rice. The server offered to bring a seperate bowl of rice for her and it arrived with-in minutes. My daughter was very pleased and then she did end up trying the rice with salsa. She said it was a little spicy but she liked it! Once the rest of our table ordered our food it arrived with-in 15 minutes. My in-laws were skeptical about coming with my husband and I tonight after reading the negative reviews. They LOVED their fajitas. Portions were large and they said they have enough to take home for two more meals. They also ordered flour tortillas so again the people making stuff up in their review stating only GF foods are offered need to stop. My husband and I both ordered three tacos on Cassava shells. We got the carne asada and shredded pork along with the cauliflower lime rice. Our tacos were incredibly flavorful and we loved the cauliflower rice. This was the food that kept us waiting in line for an hour in their food truck!!! The cauliflower rice was not the stuff you buy at Trader Joes. It had a really great flavor. Our tacos were tastier than the last 3 times we have been here. Like I said these new owners are just getting into their groove being restaurant owners. If you have been here before give them another shot. If you have not been here yet you will not be disappointed! This is the type of restaurant you would normally find in Central Phoenix or Chandler (where all the good, non-chain restaurants seem to be). Lets show some love to this new, locally owned restaurant and not encourage another boring chain to take its place!
