The food was excellent, and the service was great. Our server Isa was so helpful and checked on us the perfect amount. We sat outside and really enjoyed the plants, the ambience and watching all the local birds. We would definitely come again. read more

My friend is in town and we decided to go to the all day happy hour! (Until 6pm). We had such a blast, having our drinks and a few tacos on a Saturday morning . Isa was the sweetest, and always remembered to add a Tajín rim!! Favorite happy hour ever read more

So fun, Cassidy and Isa were amazing! the food was great and the Margs were perfect. The decor was vary modern and fun!

We decided to go on a joyride today and try these fantabulous tacos . The fiance and I tried the crispy fish and the chipotle shrimp tacos. They were both so fantastic, but my rating for the shrimp tacos were 10/10 while the fiance gave them 9/10? The crispy fish tacos were an 8.5/10 for me, really really great but not the best I ever had, for my fiance they were a 10/10 mind you he hasn't had crispy fish tacos before. We tried the quesadillas and we had half of them as carnitas and half of them as chicken. I usually love carnitas but here at this restaurant the chicken was profoundly better. The chicken was soft and delicious and flavorful. We got it with extra cheese which I highly recommend. 8:10 really good. The guacamole was good but nothing to die for. But the salsa, my god the green salsa and the habanero and the house salsa they were all just extraordinarily delicious. We had the prickly pear margarita and prickly pear lemonade, both were great. I felt like the lemonade was a tad too sweet so I didn't finish but the flavor was amazing The waitress was so nice to us, we loved the service and the ambiance. read more

After attending a performance at Hale Theatre in downtown Gilbert on a Saturday, I stopped by Joyride Taco House for a late dinner. With several locations in Phoenix and surrounding areas, this one is right in the heart of downtown Gilbert. Ambiance (3.5/5): Since I was there less than an hour before close, it wasn't very busy. I ended up sitting at the bar. Their Yelp description says that they have a Star Wars theme. I'm a Star Wars fan and I missed it. Either I wasn't paying attention closely enough or it's subtle. Service (3/5): There was one bartender working and three other people at the bar. I was greeted promptly, my order was taken promptly, but after that, things fell off a little bit. The bartender didn't check in with me and it took quite a while to get her attention when I was trying to close out. She was more focused on cleaning to close out for the night than being attentive. Drinks (4/5): As you would expect, Joyride has a full bar with a focus on tequila and margaritas. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so I ended up going with a Mexican Coke. What's nice is they have options like these, plus Jarritos, which you don't see everywhere. Food (3/5): I went with two tacos and an order of churros. They have a decent number of tacos to choose from: I went with the fish taco and the taco of the week (birria). I can't say no to a solid birria taco with the consomee so this was a nice surprise. Both of the tacos were solid, though a bit on the smaller side. They took a little longer than expected to come out, but I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients. The churros, though, were some of the worst I've ever had. They had several options to choose from, and I went with the classic. It's tough to describe, but there was something off about the cinnamon they use. It had a strange taste to it, and unlike any churros I've had before. You get too long ones, so the portion size was good, the taste, however, not so much. And like most Mexican joints, you get complimentary chips and salsa which is always a good touch. Also, if you attend a performance at Hale, and stop by day of, classic churros are on the house. Appreciated that! read more

In terms of happy hour, they get a 10/10. For their regular menu, it is not as impressive to me. I absolutely love coming during happy hour, getting $6 ranch waters and the nachitos, but I am typically not impressed when I get anything from the regular menu. The tacos are good, but nothing special and could be a dollar or two cheaper. I did not enjoy the rice too much as I was not expecting bland white rice with a small amount of salsa on top. But again, 10/10 for their happy hour and I still enjoy getting a taco or two from time to time read more

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon around 12 pm and while we didn't have to wait for a table, it was still pretty busy. Great sign as I'm sure it was even busier later after 2 pm when their Taco Tuesday starts. Parking was plentiful about a block away behind the buildings in the parking lot. There's also a parking structure nearby. As soon as we sat someone came out with chips and salsa. I was pleased to see they have a happy hour menu daily until 6 pm. I ordered the Joyride Margarita and shrimp ceviche from the HH menu. Margarita was good, you could taste the alcohol and the tajin rim was tasty. The ceviche was great with a good amount of shrimp and avocado, very flavorful. Both were great considering they were only $6 each. For entrees we ordered the SoCal Burrito and the Beast Burrito. The SoCal Burrito was really good, and there was a lot of big shrimps. The al pastor was a bit salty as was the carne asada in the Beast Burrito but it wasn't too bad. We also ordered one crispy fish taco which was good and came with a heaping scoop of guacamole. I really enjoyed the side salad that comes with the burritos! It had huge corn nuts which was a nice surprise. All in all their menu could be a tad larger (I was hoping for burrito bowls or a fish burrito) but their food is pretty tasty. Our server was very nice and checked in on us just the right amount of times, offering more chips and salsa as soon as we needed it. Parking is easy and there is a lot of outdoor seating, which we needed since we had our dog with us. We'll definitely be back! read more

We had amazing, attentive, and quick service for our group of 16. The whole team took great care of us. Their TOD (taco of the day) was a chipotle chicken taco and it was delicious! Their orange cucumber salad is refreshing, and their roasted mushroom starter is savory and flavorful. The pork adobado tacos were also very tasty. They also have a very spicy habanero salsa that was super memorable. We had such a great time here, it wasn't our first time, and it won't be our last. To the stingy reviewers, maybe avoid the Listerine before your meal - it messes with your taste buds! read more

Stopped in here to have dinner with a big group of friends. It was pretty busy, and the vibe was just that, but our service was pretty good. The food was tasty, and everybody seemed to be pretty happy. Wasn't able to capture pictures just because we had such a big group, but definitely recommend their cucumber and orange salad. It's my favorite and it's so refreshing. Also, you can't go wrong with any other taco choices; all very good. read more

The drinks, food, and service were above the standard you receive these days. I think our experience with Aubry(bartender) was fantastic. Observing her consideration to other customers was impressive. Seeing how hard working, thoughtful, and attentive she was reminded how great businesses in Gilbert generally are! read more

This is my second time going here and I got the birria breakfast burrito with a side of rice and beans and the joyride margarita on the happy hour menu. The breakfast burrito was good just a bit messy but that's birria. I asked the waitress if they had any green salsa and she said yes and brought a big side of salsa and when I got the bill it was $2 for the salsa, it's not breaking the bank but I wish she would've told me it was extra! We got the banana Nutella churros to split which were good but they just tasted like a regular churro. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. I was in the area and was craving tacos and decided to come back since my last visit was great. I got two tacos. The pork adobo and the carnitas. My fav was the pork adobo. Highly recommend. I was disappointed in the carnitas. They seem a bit old. It was dry and some pieces were hard. My friend got the Tuna tostada and she said it was delicious. The chips and salsa were soooo good. I would comeback and Will if I'm in the area. read more

Looking for a quick spot to eat around 8pm on a weekday, I came across Joyride Taco House in downtown Gilbert. I've passed by this location hundreds of times and always wanted to stop in. Being later close to closing time, they restaurant was pretty empty. They have quite a few tables inside and many more tables on the patio that faces East to Gilbert Road. Dining alone I opted for the bar even though I was only going to drink water. The bartender was very friendly and attentive and started me with a platter of chips and salsa. I inquired about the size of the tacos and ended up ordering two- the pork adobada (guarjillo chili, pork, radish, onion, cabbage and cilantro) and the standard (roasted chicken, slaw, avocado, pico, aji amarillo and cilantro). The tacos were pretty good size and accurate to the description from the bartender. Both were very tasty and really enjoyed the crunch from the cabbage and radish in the pork taco. Overall this was a great first experience. I definitely will come back again to try more items from Joyride! read more

This was a very meh spot. Service was a 5/5. Atmosphere was a 5/5. They have indoor and outdoor options. Food was a 2/5. Starting with the complimentary chips and salsa, the chips were way thick and over salted. Salsa was fine. We ordered the loaded nachos with carne asada. It was loaded which was nice but then again... the thick chips. And the carne asada was also thick and chewy. I ordered the standard taco and the crispy fish taco. None came with a lime. Which is fine if all the flavors are there. The standard was ok. The crispy fish taco was the best. My biggest grief were the tortillas themselves. They were not fresh - store bought and cold. read more

Walk in outside seating plus inside seating,gender "neutral"l bathrooms. Not sure how I feel about that. .. carne tacos were ok different than usual carne tacos usually the best to order on any menu in my opinion, I've had the crispy cod I thought was good. Was happy hr drinks and apps. Hot Cheetos App nachos were good, served with pulled pork, chips and salsa at the table plenty of bevies to choose from clean, friendly server and atmosphere. read more

Went there last night (Saturday) it was pretty slow which I like because there was no wait for a table. I go to Joy for the good margaritas and tacos!! My fav on the menu is the crispy fish omgggg so fresh, crispy and hot. My husband ordered the Birria torta which I thought was a bold choice, but it was surprisingly so good. It was well seasoned and the meat was super soft I even really liked the sauce that came with it was like a sweet pineapple super good with the salty food. It was a great date night place :) read more

I HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES FOR THIS PLACE!!! We will NEVER be back! We went for Happy Hour food and IPA beer, and ended up ordering tacos after. First of all...the chips tasted like they were from yesterday, and they reheated them. The salsa was tasteless and I honestly would've preferred jarred salsa! The Queso was just okay, but had little flavor. That was the ONE THING my Hubs really raved about the first time we went there, but that was awhile ago...wow, have they gone DOWN HILL!! We decided to order tacos...Hubs got three of the battered fish, and after eating the second one, gave the other one to his BIL, who was still hungry. I ordered the Taco Platter, so I could make my own, and sample different meats. IT WAS HORRIBLE!! The rice was dry, the beans lukewarm, the meat was undistinguishable...like, I couldn't tell it was chicken, beef or what it was?! My second bite of meat contained SOME METAL CRUNCH...I quickly spit it out, in my napkin!! I walked over to our sweet server, and explained that there was a foreign substance in my meat, and in fairness to her, she said she was sorry, and she took it off the bill. No fanfare, no manager coming over to see if I wanted to try something else, which I DID NOT...but, it ended with me being STILL HUNGRY, and feeling like they DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT!! I enjoy giving positive reviews, and enjoy our time trying new places, especially in the Old Town Gilbert area...this may be a happening place to drink, meet up and enjoy an exciting evening, but not even low lights, or alcohol could fix this place!! Hard earned money...down the drain...and leaving HUNGRY AND DISAPPOINTED!! Food read more

This used to be our go to for a great happy hour and amazing margaritas. However, they took all the best margaritas off as well as the tacos (they have a taco of the day on there but every time we go its chicken) They added some other its like the nachos and 3 dips which were both decent but nothing too special. The beer is still an excellent price for happy hour luckily! I also love their shrooms. Please bring back all the margs on happy hour and my review will definitely boost back up;) read more

First time at Joyride Taco House in Downtown Gilbert. Weekday early dinner and place is packed. Upscale, vibrant, open space indoor or on the patio. Service was excellent. I had two street tacos, one was grilled shrimp and other was carne adovada pork. The sauce was very spicy, kind of a surprise, but good. I can't really judge this place based upon two street tacos. Would definitely return for another meal. Based upon the excellent service, an easy 4 stars. All good here. read more

Stopped by Joyride for happy hour. I've been wanting to try this place since moving here. Sever was great with recommendations. We had the So Cal margarita, nachos, and Carne Asada spicy taco. The nachos and margarita are fantastic. The spicy taco was just OK. It was a little dry and was missing something. Definitely will be back to try more. read more

I love going here for early happy hour (before 5pm.) Joyride has the best select Mexican and best craft beer pitcher happy hour price I have found in all of the Valley at $6. That equates to about 2 pints of beer. The happy hour prices for food goes until 6pm. The service is always friendly and attentive. It has both a front and back patio seating areas. I enjoy the back patio, except when the tree is shedding its little yellow flowers. The front patio it's fun to watch people strolling Gilbert main Street. The interior has a great retro, history vibe. read more

Pretty cute taco place in downtown Gilbert! If you are looking for more authentic taco, this is not the place, but it's good for chill girl's day/night with chips and margs and food! Service is good, some are so friendly and some are not. Got chips and guac, and birria breakfast burrito, they both were good! So many potatoes in burrito, which I like, though it was a bit cold! read more

Met a friend here for happy hour on Cinco de Mayo and they had all of their signature margaritas for $5! And the food was SO good! We had burritos that came with a side salad. YUM! Staff, service, food and drink were all so great...However, the 3 very tiny individual gender neutral bathrooms were so gross! You have to shimmy in before squeezing to shut the door. And the one I used had sticky urine all over the floor I had to straddle. The toilet paper was almost out and it stunk in there... read more

I've been seeing Joyride Tacos pop up on my feed for some time now. I usually celebrate Taco Tuesday by getting a burrito....its kinda my jam. I scoped out the menu earlier today and decided I needed to taste that green chili chicken burrito before the day was over or I'd toss and turn all night wondering what I was missing :) This is a walk in and sit down place. Good vibe inside with music flowin' and good atmosphere. Our waiter, Chase, did a phenomenal job as well. All good things! We ordered the Hatch Green Chili Queso to start which was killer! As mentioned, I was there for one thing and one thing only: the Green Chili Chicken Burrito. It was great! The chorizo and pinto beans took it to another level, especially with the flat grilled tortilla....chefs kiss all the way! On a scale of 1 - 10, there will be future visits for sure! I need to taste one of their tacos...I think that's only fair ;) read more

They have a few items on menu with humorous names for Mexican food. All was greatly explained by our server Cambria and manager Logan. Food was great, service was quit and good. Nothing went bad. Cambria was very kind and quick to help and Manager Logan supported her and checked on us a few times. All in all I would highly recommend this spot. Great food, good people and nice ambiance.
