    Delicious tacos and lightning fast service!
    Nilanj D.

    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!

    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.

    Great food and fast service! We got a couple tacos, and the churros and all were delicious! Quick service too made for a great lunch break spot

    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.

    Let's play today's game of how long will I wait today for my second drink. Food is always great, but service consistently needs some work.

    I ordered (1) 'The Standard' and (1) 'Pork Adobada' taco

    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!

    Tacos are awesome, our staff dude was fun, sat outside under a tree's, good chips and salsa, very chill place. Happy hour is awesome. It's a bit out of our area but always worth the drive.

    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.

    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 :)

    Happy hour Nachos: B- Happy Hour 3 dips: B

    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;)

    Nice Patio!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This is the second time dinning at The Vig at Dana Park and tonight we sat out on the large patio…read more The patio has plenty of seats and has both misters and heating lamps making it possible to use year round We kicked things off with the pretzel served with queso and house mustard--perfect for sharing. The queso was rich without being too heavy, and the mustard added a nice contrast. For my meal, I had the Caesar salad topped with a bistro steak cooked a perfect medium rare. The romaine was crisp, the garlic-anchovy dressing bold, and the garlic croutons and parmesan tied everything together. The steak was tender, flavorful, and elevated the salad. At the table, we also ordered the cheesesteak with Angus beef, roasted peppers and onions, Havarti cheese, and garlic aioli served on a baguette, with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the fries were really good The wagyu burger was another standout--topped bacon, Gruyère and smoky blue cheese, caramelized onions, tomato jam, and garlic aioli on a pub bun. The beef and bacon were fabulous and the fries cooked to perfection Jake, our server, was terrific--attentive, friendly, and helped make the whole experience even better. We finished with the butterscotch bread pudding topped with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce, which was the perfect ending--warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness Overall, a great patio dining experience with flavorful dishes, excellent service, and plenty of variety.

Mason was on point with all aspects of service, he was attentive, welcoming, and really made us feel at home. I was also impressed with the new bartender whose name I didn't catch but it was her first night and I would have never known unless she told me. She was friendly personable and slinging drinks like she'd been there for a while. Great job to both of them! As for the food, it was phenomenal as expected but a special call out needs to be made for the butterscotch bread pudding. It was complementary for my birthday and I probably would have never tried it before but it turned out to be the best bread pudding I've had in ages. So tender and sweet delicious!! 5 stars. Highly recommend!

We came in with our family and three kids and sat on the patio since we were a larger group. After eating, our kids were sitting in chairs near our table, chatting and moving around a bit. They weren't being loud or disruptive, but a nearby a couple clearly seemed upset. The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away. The couple chose to ignore us and left shortly after. The manager then came out and reassured us that Lucky Lou's is a family-friendly restaurant and that our kids were absolutely fine. That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!

The menu online looks promising, and it's very close to our home, so we decided to give it a try. This place is very bright and fresh looking, for lack of a better description. There's a bar, and a really great mural. There's an entire wall of banqettes, and some tables in the second room which is divided only by a half wall. There are some walls which I thought had exposed brick, but later noticed were wall boards. Either way, I love the look. We were seated right away and the nicest server came over. He really seems to love the restaurant and love the food, which is always a plus in my book. The boys each got a beer, and I got the Italian margarita. It was a sweet drink that kind of tasted like an Amaretto Sour, which makes sense since there's Amaretto in it. I liked it. They brought gigantic rolls with butter to the table. I really liked it because most places serve sourdough bread, and I don't really like sourdough bread. These large white rolls were yummy. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered two meatballs, but I asked if I could have the meat sauce instead of the marinara that it usually comes with. Our server said there would be no problem with that, and there wasn't. Hubby got the spaghetti and meatballs, and son got eggplant parmesan. All of it was delicious and I give kudos for a really yummy meat sauce. For me, the meat sauce can make or break an Italian restaurant. They seem to do a pretty brisk take out business, and there were quite a few people by the time we left. I would love to come back and try the pizza, because pizzas that we saw coming out looked fantastic.

    Let me start with a little tid bit about Downtown Gilbert. There is nothing really special about it…read moreoutside of the vibe is right. Always a lot of people there so it makes you want to be there. Restaurant wise they have really basic offerings. Places you can find in Mesa, and Tempe, and Scottsdale. Now.... What truly makes Downtown Gilbert special are the small shops that are hidden away from the "main strip". One of those places is Clever Koi. Hidden in the Parking lot space behind Shaq's Chicken spot is a small strip of shops. A book store, smoothie place, and my favorite Clever Koi. Our family has very different tastes when we move from one member to the next. So finding places that we all like gets tricky. Clever Koi makes that easy because we honestly have yet to run into something we don't like. Let's start with our favorite starter. The steamed buns (giggity). The pork belly is hands down phenomenal. An amazing bite that literally makes you want more and more. The lazy fries are just that, again pork belly is included, but that garlic aioli is what drives this dish. The tai salad is obviously classic. The short rib dumplings literally make you close your eyes and just say "Mmmmmm". My middle child is the hardest pallet to please at any restaurant as he only eats certain things, but the Chicken Katsu sandwich here is his second favorite chicken sandwich in all this world. The first time he ate it he spent the whole ride home raving about it. Mind you, we live in San Tan, so not a short ride. The shaking beef is always good. It has this firey kick that brings the heat upfront but does not linger. You cannot forget about the fried rice here. Rice is one of my weaknesses in life second only to pizza. Fried rice ranks right up there with my top favorite ways to eat rice and this ranks right up there with my favorite fried rice places. The main reason we come here is because of the noodles. Ramen, ramen, ramen. When you think of Ramen, I assure you this is what you are thinking of. The broth is oh so savory and reigns in the fresh veggies and proteins to meld them with the noodles for a flavor punch each time you have a mouthful. They have great drinks here as well, or so I've been told by the other adults I come here with. I always just get a sake and Sapporo so... LOL The service is always good here and we somehow always manage to miss the lunch or dinner rush which is awesome. All in all... this is by far my favorite dining spot in downtown Gilbert. Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere, in the middle of a great little square. A must eat for me.

Our server Maya was incredible and extremely knowledgeable on all dishes, drinks, and so many details of the restaurant! I've never had this good of service anywhere! My wife and I had the Pad See Ew with the braised chicken thigh which was INCREDIBLE. Perfectly chewy noodles, great seasoning. I highly recommend adding some of the homemade Fresno chile sriracha for a kick! The pork ramen was also very delicious. Be warned it's a lot of pork! My wife preferred it with the green jalapeño sriracha. The drinks were also very unique and delicious! A sideline view for me and riding the line for my wife. Oh and the best part was the dessert Bananas foster hush puppy puffs. These were so unique, seasoned with cinnamon sugar and Chinese 5 spice. It took some getting used to but the more you ate it with the Carmel toffee sauce the more I enjoyed it. All in all I can see why people love this place! It's a 5 star restaurant for a 3 star price! If you're looking to expand your flavor palette and have a wonderful evening I can't recommend Clever Koi enough!

The wings were grilled and sauced to perfection and that Ranch is da bomb. Thank you Bella and Natalia as well as the rest of the team at Zinburger.

    Went to tour a bit of the Gilbert, AZ area and my cousin suggested this place as she likes their…read moreZucchini Fries & milkshakes. At first I thought I didn't want a burger as I usually make my own at home but was pleasantly surprised at the menu & ambiance. Sarina was our waitress & I asked her if the California Bowl was like a salad with a veggie burger as it doesn't state a beef patty? She said it's like a burger w/o a bun but as a bowl w/the ingredients & TOPPED with a beef patty. Oh, I see... So I asked if I could just have the Basmati Rice but it was a mixture of Basmati & Quinoa so she said she could give me more ingredients of something else like Brussels sprouts or Greens so I asked for more Greens. The ingredients are: griddled Sweet Potatoes, roasted Mushrooms, caramelized Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Quinoa, Avocado slices with a Tamari glaze. It was also topped with Cilantro & Green Onions. I also ordered an Iced Tea. The California Burger Bowl was soooo delicious with such a flavor bomb of textures, sweetness & caramelized, smokey flavors! The crunchiness from the cold greens, warm Brussels Sprouts, soft & sweet Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potatoes, plus the creaminess of the Avocados was such a great medley! I think I need to replicate this at home! Very creative & healthy! My cousin & friend both got burgers, one topped with mushrooms & one with a lettuce wrap sub, Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fries. The seating is very comfortable with the cushioned seats & booths & the restaurant is very bright & airy with lots of windows & high ceilings. If you have to use the restroom, it's located outside & will give you a passcode. Highly recommend this place!

    On a Saturday night after grabbing some ice cream at Topo, we stopped by Sotol Modern Cocktail…read moreKitchen for a nightcap. Located in downtown Gilbert, Sotol is a rooftop bar and restaurant. I love a good rooftop and the weather was perfect. While they don't have a parking lot, free parking is available on the street and in the various surface lots and garages in the area. Ambiance (4.5/5): It's tough to beat a rooftop. Here you'll have nice views of downtown Gilbert, including the historic Gilbert water tower (which lights up at night). It's not a huge restaurant/bar, probably 50 seats or so. A good number of tables and then 15 seats or so at the bar. We sat at the bar. There's a pretty nice mural on one end too. Service (4/5): A little slow to start out with and to close out, but overall, friendly. We found one of the last four remaining seats at the bar. If not for that, there would have been a wait. One drink and then we made our way. Overall, about average. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet for this visit but they do have a full menu. Drinks (4/5): Interesting craft cocktail list. The first one on the list is a Sotol cocktail. If you've never had Sotol, it's a Mexican spirit. Not tequila and not mezcal, but somewhat similar to mezcal and it does have a bit of a smoky flavor. The Sotol So Good has sotol, butterfly pea, coconut rum, pineapple, lime, and orgeat. It's purple so it makes an impression. It packs a punch too. If you're looking for a cool spot to grab some food and drinks in the heart of downtown Gilbert, when the weather is nice, Sotol is a great choice!

    Visited Sotol Modern Cocktail Kitchen while in Gilbert. The atmosphere was modern and open, and the…read moreservice started off a bit off-putting, though it improved slightly as the visit went on. I've been wanting to check this place out for a while. Right from the start, the elevator was out of order, which wasn't ideal. When we got inside, the place was mostly empty -- only a couple of other guests -- yet we were told to sit anywhere except along a section of tables by the wall. I pointed out a table at the far end, well away from the entrance, but was directed instead to what felt like the least desirable table, with the reasoning being they might need the space for a large party. After a bit of back-and-forth, they eventually let us sit where we preferred, but it made for a poor first impression -- especially considering the restaurant never filled up. Tried a few cocktails -- they were well made and enjoyable, definitely the highlight of the visit. Overall, good drinks but the initial experience left a sour note -- may or may not return. Saluti.

    03/27/2026 I finally checked out Maeva over brunch with a…read morefriend. I got there on a Friday at 9:00am. It was not too busy - most were sitting on the patio enjoying the nice weather or in line at the coffee counter. I got a table for two right by a window. The interior looks modern chic, and has many windows so a lot of natural light was shining through. A server got my drink order shortly after being seated, then my friend arrived, but the server had disappeared for a while. It wasn't super busy, so I'm not sure what the hold-up was. I got the Matcha Strawberry off of their Signature Drinks menu, which tasted fresh and delicious. My friend started with a slice of Banana Choc Espresso Loaf - I tried a bite and it was dense with good flavor, especially the Valrhona chocolate. For brunch I got the Maeva "BEC" (bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich), and my friend got the Treg's Breakfast (eggs, bacon, and sourdough). The shape of the egg in my sandwich was like a square block and unexpected, but it still tasted good. The egg, cheese, pickled peppers, and chili mayo paired nicely together with the milk bun. My friend enjoyed her food as well. I would come back and try some other menu items and dinner.

    Stopped in for dinner with a friend and overall enjoyed this spot. The food was light and good! k…read morethe service was top tier (I can tell they have a team mentality when it comes to checking on tables) I ordered the Branzino which there was a light and so good and wish there was a nice salad or something that came with it... that would be the only thing I change
