This is such a charming original location for Backyard Taco! The staff was exceptional and their customer service and the birria tacos on corn tortillas with guacamole, the red sauce and the pickled onions were absolutely mouthwatering!

We enjoyed VEGAN tacos here! Beans and rice and then they have an amazing fresh salsa bar with delicious onions, cucumbers, radishes and pico de gallo!! Amazing options to add to those vegan tacos!! Highly recommend!! Very fair prices, too!!
