So yummy! This was our last and final dinner while visiting in New Orleans. We didn't know what to expect but they blew our minds with their delicious, juicy, flavorful tacos. The Nachos were also so so good. We loved the backyard courtyard, the picnic tables are perfect, with the string lights and music, it was just a super chill environment. The service was great, tacos amazing and drinks were also super splendid!

Very good, simple Tex Mex but a nod to authentic Mexican cuisine. Great margaritas and wonderful patio to enjoy food and drink. Order inside and they will bring food to the secluded patio.

Rosalita's Backyard Tacos is my favorite taco spot in the city. Their tacos are fantastic, the margaritas are delicious, and I love the little salsa bar options. Plenty of space for outdoor seating -- perfect for a pretty day.

Pork Belly Tacos were pretty good. I tried them with both the flour and corn tortillas, and both versions were fine, with the corn tortillas holding together quite well without breaking. Guacamole for the chips was prepared simply & classically with just avocado and lime. There are two hidden dining area in the back, which are open-air.

This delicious taco place is a must-visit in NOLA. The sauces provided added a nice kick to the tacos! There was limited seating on the inside but I didn’t get a chance to check out the outdoor seating. I was fascinated by the prettily colored wall art

The food was very good, a little pricey, but the quality made up for it. The guacamole was delicious, it wasn't traditional, which is perfectly fine, it was delicious! I will be back, to try more of the menu! The elotes were very good. The quesadilla was huge and very reasonably priced! Look forward to coming back. Try the watermelon lemonade!

Delicious tacos and a unique setup. You order at the counter, get your sauces and step out back to the backyard patio and they'll deliver your food. Our empanada was a little soggy, but all the tacos were fantastic. I would definitely eat here again.
