Rosalita's Backyard Tacos - New Orleans

Absolutely! This place is fantastic for drinks and food at very reasonable prices. I will definitely be coming back! They also have outdoor seating that is very dog-friendly. Highly recommend!

The tacos were absolutely delicious, and the restaurant has a unique setup. You order at the counter, choose your sauces, and head out to the backyard patio where your food will be delivered to you. While our empanada was a bit soggy, all the tacos were fantastic. I would definitely return to eat here again.

My partner and I have eaten here sooo many times from back when they were a little backyard popup til now. Their tacos used to be the best. Now, they’re very stale and kinda stingy with toppings (usually fish). Like, I have had a hard time biting through an old corn tortilla more than once : we always hope we hit a good night when we decide to come back. Their nachos, tostadas, empanadas, burritos, and quesadillas are much more consistently good. Drinks are also a pretty good value, though, again, inconsistent. TLDR: this place lacks quality control. If you roll the dice, you could feel you wasted (too much) money on stale tacos or got a good value for a $6 quesadilla or $7 burrito.

:: sigh:: I’m really sad to write this but… THESE WERE THE WORST TACOS IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. What’s even more disheartening, is that I’ve lived in New Orleans for a year and never EVER had a bad food experience. Mind you I have eaten out everyday for almost 365 days. NOLA is known for its always fresh super tasty foods. These tacos caught me by surprise. I mean clutch pears surprised. I spent $15 for 3 tacos (no drink included). The tacos itself tasted like the entire thing was deep fried in vegetable oil. The backyard was cute tho by the reviews it looks like the drinks might be a go. The tacos tho??? NO BUENO.Dolly enjoyed the sunshine ?

For $5 per taco, I expected a bit more than just steak and caramelized onions in a corn tortilla. The tacos were overtly sweet which contradicts the claim to be “backyard” tacos. This is disappointing especially when one can go to a taco stand (hello uptown on Earhart across the street from Home Depot) and get a real backyard taco feel for just $10. If I want to pay $15 for 3 tacos, I would go to Liberation Nola down the street (look them up and you’ll understand why their price point is $15). I also got the salad with cotija cheese and cilantro vinaigrette. Don’t even waste your time, seriously. The “cilantro vinaigrette” is basically olive with cilantro and no extra seasoning. I’m a salad woman and I LIVE for a good salad! This one was extremely bland and taste like bagged spring mix before being rinsed. The “vinaigrette” had absolutely no taste nor seasoning. I’m not joking, save your time and go to Liberation. The only positive was the amount of meat. They were generous with the steak.
