Review highlights
Based on 166 reviewsThe Backyard in Bucerias offers a charming and relaxed dining experience characterized by a welcoming Mexican atmosphere and vibrant live music. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and attentive service, contributing to a fun and social environment. The menu features flavorful, well-priced dishes with particular praise for items like spicy wings, nachos, and stuffed potatoes, though some find certain dishes like boneless wings slightly dry. The setting is cozy and somewhat secluded, featuring greenery and a quiet side street location that minimizes traffic noise despite lacking ocean views. While the lively ambiance appeals to many, it may be less suitable for those seeking a quiet meal or with noise sensitivity. Overall, The Backyard is favored as a casual spot for both drinks and meals, especially by travelers and locals looking for an enjoyable, spirited night out in a friendly neighborhood setting.
Lovely little out of the way place tucked in between buildings and fenced off from the street. It’s on a little side street so no traffic noise. It has good food, good prices and great service. It doesn’t have a view of the ocean but it does have trees and plants growing inside the area and a nice hard surface floor.
Overall a nice Mexican atmosphere. Close to a friend's house so we cam here for dinner one night. Live music and friendly staff. I ordered the super spicy wings and the server said I am Loco. We shall see soon I guess. Will they make me cry? Ok, wings are spicy, eyes are watering. I am happy. All other food is equally as good. A great place to stop in for a drink, a meal or both.
We came back for dinner and it was great. Cocktails & we ordered and tried almost everything. Yes, it is a busy and loud spot when the live music is playing - so if you are in a rush, or if you have sensitive ears, it is not for you. Also, it is great to know some basic Spanish - as you are in Mexico! The guys working here are working their butts off - the main guy behind the bar is there 6 days a week - all day and night. We came back 4 times and each time had a great experience. A smile goes a long way ;)
A good first stop for travelers just arriving in town. Excellent drinks and service, fun atmosphere. Food was good quality but simple, fair for the price. Very friendly and fun environment, with frequent live music.
Great food, although boneless wings are a bit dry. Stuffed potatoes are great as are nachos! Drinks are effective! Friendly staff. Great live music!
Second time back a year later, and it's still my favorite place!! Added a few more pictures. Amazing little spot to eat and drink fantastic entertainment. We had the BBQ ribs, stuffed potato, and the arrachera quesadillas. Highly recommend it to everyone
This places is a hidden gem. We went 3 times in our 12 days in Bucerias. We had dinner one night and breakfast 2 mornings. They only serve brunch Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It’s amazing! Can’t wait to come back!
I cant say enough great things about this place! It is a hidden gem and once you find it you keep going back. 1st there we hand dinner and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was huge and delicious along with some waffle fries! The right amount of spice. My wife had the buffalo chicken wings which were nice and spicy! Our kids had chicken fingers and potato wedges which they loved! Lots of cold beer and great company dinner here was perfect for us. They even had a few games the kiddos could play. We also went back a few days later to have breakfast and it was amazing. My wife and I had the BLT while the kids had pancakes. Everyone was delighted and satisfied! I highly encourage everyone to stop by!
