Planning a party shouldn’t mean spending your entire budget on a venue.
At Backyard Taco, there’s no separate fee to reserve one of our participating private patios when your group purchases food from the restaurant. There’s also no minimum food spend required.
Whether you’re keeping things casual or planning something a little more elaborate, our team can help you create an easy, fun gathering without the extra venue expense.
There’s always a good reason to get the familia together!
Our patios are a great option for:
Celebrate another trip around the sun with tacos, cake, and your favorite people.
Bring everyone together to celebrate your graduate without renting a separate event venue.
Host an end-of-season party, team dinner, or celebration after the big game.
Plan a casual office party, employee appreciation lunch, or team get-together.
Get together for baby showers, anniversaries, reunions, and special occasions.
Gather your community for school celebrations, team events, and eligible Dining to Donate fundraisers.
Whether you’re celebrating something big or just looking for an excuse to get together, we’ll help you make it a fiesta.
What’s a Backyard Taco party without the tacos?
Your guests can order directly from the restaurant or work with our catering team to arrange food for the entire group.
From mesquite-grilled tacos al carbón to burritos, tostadas, Papa Locas, and more, there are plenty of ways to feed your familia.
Planning something bigger? Our catering menu includes taco bars, tostada bars, Papa Loca bars, burrito trays, and individual meal options.
We can also help coordinate buffet-style setups, depending on your event and food selections.
Don’t forget the chips, salsa, and refreshing aguas frescas!
