Backyard Taco

Look, I got recommended here by a local and took my family. Is it particularly bad, no! Is it good, absolutely not. Pretty dang mediocre and for a high price. I saw reviews saying “best on the island” which was super enticing but now I am just sad for your beautiful little island. Tacos were solid but nothing special. The family had chicken and cauliflower and mushroom. Lots of grease on the vegetarian options and the chicken had a cheese that was rlly low quality. Guacamole was 7 which I thought was awesome until it came in a tiny plastic ketchup looking side cup. You had to also pay for chips which to me is a crime against nature. Who orders 7 dollar guac and gets no chips. Most Mexican restaurants if you get guac it comes with chips. So that was severely disappointing. Comes out on plastic plates with plastic silverware which isn’t a problem but again adds to the low quality for high price nature of this place. I’m not sure if the imports are high here causing the 7 dollar meh tacos but bar taco has 4.50 street tacos 100% better anywhere in the south. Tried to do a casual night and still ended up paying for 150 + dollars while sitting at a paint chipped table next to the trash can in the back. Overall disappointing and we left still hungry and I kid you not our family is not one that eats a ton. So therefore sadly I must rate this place a two. Had high hopes but did not leave satisfied.

BEST tacos on island! And the only place that hand makes their tortillas DAILY. They so so fresh and delicious. The tacos are fantastic and everything here is GLUTEN FREE, plus they have vegetarian and vegan options, as well as dairy free. My two favorite tacos are the eggplant and the falafel, SO tasty. This place gets packed in the summer, so make sure to head in early or just be prepared to wait - the tacos are worth the wait! It's a small place too, fun to be in, good music, and they do have some outdoor space in front and in the back!

Ordered beef chicken tacos. The chicken was grey and the beef had literal Kraft Parmesan cheese sprinkled on it… also out of key staples like fish, pico de gallo, and yuca fries. I didn’t even see the grill running so who knows how they were prepared. The interior is pretty grimey which is typically fine, but not when they’re charging $8-9 per taco.

This is a very sad taco place. We tried fish, chicken, steak, and beef tacos. All the tacos were small and completely bland. The cheese they use is the cheapest "mexian-style" cheese you can get at a grocery store. The same for corn chips and yuca fries (you'll get 7 small wedges, btw). We didn't even get offered a tap water. Not worth the price...by far!

Great tacos! Homemade tasty chips and corn tortillas plus that margarita is tasty too!. The chicken had great flavor I felt it had a hint of curry mix but wow, flavorful. No real place to sit but it turns around fast. A must have

Got in late needed a quick bite and drink. Here for a weekend wedding. Got a eggplant taco and falafel taco with a swamp margarita(super spicy). Off da chain. Super friendly staff, I will be back a couple of times before I leave.

A very short walk from our Edgartown hotel. Lots of gluten free options. Tacos were fresh and delicious. Also reasonably priced for MV. I order them with the cilantro and hot sauce. Be careful as the hot sauce is HOT! Liked it so much we returned the next night.

This is by far the best place on the island to buy a taco. Amazing service, food freshly cooked after order, and you get a lot of value for your dollar in this day and age. If you’re in OB or on MV in general, this should be incorporated into your plan
