I used to love coming here back in college, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. We came in at 6:45 PM on a Sunday and stood waiting to be seated for nearly 10 minutes -- and the place wasn't even busy. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes without being greeted. I had to ask a busboy to find our server, and the person who took our order wasn't even assigned to our table. Later, our actual server came and asked if we were ready to order -- we had to explain we already had. When the food arrived, it was clearly sitting out too long. The burritos were lukewarm and soggy, and my beans were dried over on top. My girlfriend and I barely ate 20% of our meals. Service stayed inattentive -- I had to ask for a water refill after sitting empty for 10 minutes. The manager gave us a $10 gift card (valid at Joyride, Postino's, Federal Pizza, or Windsor Churn), but we definitely won't be coming back here to use it. To top it off, we asked for a fresh churro to make up for everything. After another 15-minute wait, it came in a to-go box covered in sauce and food residue (photo attached). What used to be a great spot now feels completely disorganized and poorly managed. Easily one of the worst dining experiences we've had. read more

Joyride Taco House - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Arrived at Joyride Taco House on a Taco Tuesday around 6pm and the parking lot was jam packed without a spot to park -- I had to park in the neighborhood which was a little annoying but overall it was worth it. My friend and I started with a bottle of Sav blanc and the cactus and crinkle fries. I wasn't expecting the cactus to be so small but it was really flavorful and had a bit of a kick. The crinkle fries were average -- not crispy enough for my taste, a 4/10 on the fry scale. Also the chips from chips and salsa were kind of stale. Salsa was good. But we didn't come for the fries and immediately ordered tacos -- I got the bean sprout and the crispy fish tacos and my friend got the shrimp and the chicken tacos. I really enjoyed the sprout taco! It was surprisingly flavorful. The crispy fish taco was also very good and my friend enjoyed her tacos as well. We added a "vodka" - rita -- since both of us don't really care for tequila but love a good marg -- this was super good and the bartender was very accommodating to us ordering this off the menu. The music was bumping and the outdoor patio was in full swing -- I really enjoyed my Taco Tuesday at Joyride! read more

Met up with some friends after work for a quick catch-up/happy hour. I've been to Joyride in Gilbert before and enjoyed it so I recommend this location. Service was good and the apps were tasty. I didn't take a bunch of pics because I was busy chatting (sorry!). It's a great place, on a scale of 1 - 10, I would recommend it as an option! read more

Joyride Taco House - Extra Chips & Salsa - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We've eaten our way through basically every restaurant in the area, yet somehow Joyride stayed unchecked on the list, and after this visit, I'm starting to think that was my intuition protecting me. The patio facing Central is great for people-watching, but the pack of unsupervised children tearing around like they were training for American Ninja Warrior had us moving inside immediately. There are heaters which weren't on, and it was pretty chilly in the shade. We were seated fast, waters arrived, and Carson came by shortly after we relocated. No complaints about her, she was a bright spot in this whole adventure. We annihilated the chips and salsa the second they hit the table. Chips were a little thicker than ideal but fine. The salsa tasted like it forgot to show up to its own party. It was missing acid, missing cilantro, missing personality. A sprinkle of salt and pepper helped, but I didn't come here to DIY the seasoning. We grabbed the Three Salsitas: guac, bean dip, and green chile queso. The guac was basically mashed avocado with a dream. Tasty? Yes. Guacamole? Let's not push it. Adding a squeeze of lime from our beer magically transformed it into something I'd actually choose to eat. The bean dip was savory, creamy, and honestly the star. Queso was nice and melty, just a little boring. If you mix the bean dip and queso together, though? That's the real pro move. Then came the Bandit taco platter. In theory: slow-roasted chicken, carne asada, carnitas, tortillas, rice, black beans, avocado, pico gringo, cabbage, cotija. In reality: a masterclass in being aggressively basic. The chicken was so dry it should come with a hydration warning, the rice was literally plain white rice (bold choice), and while the carne was decent, there was barely any of it. Now, the corn tortillas, and I don't say this lightly: they were absolutely awful. Dry, stiff, flavorless, like someone described a tortilla to an alien and the alien tried its best. We ordered extra flour tortillas out of pure survival instinct, and thank goodness we did. Also, still no onions, no cilantro, no limes, it's like they're running a secret anti-flavor initiative. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience. The food was bland, the seasoning was missing in action, and while Carson was sweet and definitely improved the vibe, it wasn't enough to save the meal. With so many better options nearby, we won't be rushing back. read more

We initially sat on the patio, but due to a combination of chilly weather and unruly and uncontrolled children, we moved inside Carson was our server The chips and salsa was nice, the chips being the overly crisp kind that I like but unfortunately a bit crunchy for my wife, the salsa was decent but didn't bring much heat, or flavor beyond plain tomato; adding salt and pepper helped a lot We just shared a pitcher of Negra Modelo We ordered the three salsitas from the happy hour menu; guacamole, house bean dip, green chile queso The queso is cheesy but not really any heat, the guac is pretty good but, again, no heat, the bean dip similarly lacked heat but was very flavorful Mixing the bean dip with the queso is the way to go We split the Bandit Taco Platter; deconstructed tacos with slow roasted chicken, carne asada, carnitas, tortilla, rice, black beans, avocado, pico gringo, cabbage, cotija The carne was slightly juicy, but pretty flavorless, the chicken not dry to the point of being inedible, but it was close, the beans tasted canned and the cotija didn't help, the green sauce on the rice was the one bright spot on this plate, but there was only a tiny scoop The platter comes with either corn or flour tortillas; we opted for an order of flour tortillas along with it, which was fortunate, as the corn tortillas could be at best described as week old store-bought mission tortillas Generally speaking, the entire experience lacked lime, salt and pepper, and cilantro I had been looking forward to trying joyride for several months, I should have kept waiting; this was definitely one of the most underwhelming meals I've ever ordered Carson was attentive and responsive, no complaints in that department But I could not in good conscience. Recommend this to anyone, nor could I bring myself to return 2/5 because I have to start with 1 but Carson made it a 2 because she was good read more

Yelp invited us here awhile back and I really enjoyed the experience so decided to come back with a girlfriend last night evening for Taco Tuesday. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, so keep that in mind. I came here after happy hour and the place was packed, most of the bar seats were taken and the dining room was close to full. I was able to snag a table for 2, which was a nice half semicircle booth, spacious and very comfortable. I started off with a cucumber serrano margarita and this was excellent, nice and refreshing on a hot summer day and with a slight kick. I love their chips and salsa as their salsa is so legit, so tasty and has a good kick. I ordered a baja fish taco and a sprouts taco and they were both just delicious! Yum! Definitely a great spot to come eat, drink, hang out and people watch! I will definitely be back! It's a little too hot now during the days to sit outside but when it cools down a little, I'm definitely going to opt to sit outside. This is a hip, fun taco joint and the food, drinks and service are excellent! read more

I do want to start off with how good this burrito was !! I loved how good this was, the beans were super good as well like I would soooo go back for the burrito the rice was good, but I do think it needed some flavor but I do think that the cilantro lime topping was ! The classic churros were super good !! I'm from SoCal & these were a perfect mix of a Costco & Disneyland churro !!! Of course the ice cream at the cajeta were just the cherry on top !!! The drinks that I got were amazing ! I really liked the tropicale margarita & the guava one !! My friend tried the other two which were super good as well !! Shout out to our waitress she was super amazing she did give me a little heads up that the guava had Smokey after taste & was able to substitute that for more guava. The vibes were super chill it was like maybe 2 hours before closing so they did have a quiet a few customers considering how late it was for a week day ! Restrooms were super clean !! This could be a perfect little date spot between friends or even a date !! I would have to say that this is a little on the pricey side but definitely wouldn't complain considering how good the food was ! read more

I had a really great experience here for dinner! It was Tuesday, and they had $1.50 off all tacos for taco Tuesday! We also arrived during happy hour and they have drink specials for that time too. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the vibe here fun and colorful! Everyone who helped us was really nice and I enjoyed the chips and salsa. I ordered the Joyride Margarita which was their classic margarita and I really liked it! I also ordered three tacos: the Chipotle Shrimp, Baja Fish and the Taco of the day. All three were delicious, fresh and flavorful! With it being Tuesday and happy hour, I feel like I got a really good real. I definitely recommend stopping by during this time and can't wait to come back soon. read more

Met my friends here for dinner recently and the food was really good. I had the 2 different shrimp tacos, and one of the churros (Nutella) for dessert... I also ended up with half of my friend's breakfast burrito and it was delicious even after reheated. On the not so great side, they were understaffed and everything took a long time... at least our server was kind enough to let us know about the staffing issues, and my expectations were lowered on that area, but still, it was a little too much... beverages, order, every little thing. At some point I almost mentioned that our food was taking a long time and then I realized we had not even ordered yet... yeah, that slow. And, the parking spots are rather limited. read more

I went on a taco Tuesday night with my friends for the first time to try this location and let me tell you I was obsessed with this place The menu had a chef's choice taco which was cauliflower and it was so delicious The shrimp was not it for sure it was not fresh. It smelled kind of weird, but our server was kind enough to exchanged all of our tacos. The fish taco was all right not the best but the cauliflower was to die for and the margaritas were so good the price was so good for the amount of food we got and drinks will definitely come back read more

The food was fine, the service was fine, the ambience was fine. The best things there were the chips, which I had to avoid mostly being diabetic, but hands down were the best things we had. I ordered the breakfast burrito in a bowl with extra protein and cheese. If that was extra, frightened what normal would be. Very blah, no flavor, doused with the hot sauce in a bottle and loads of salt. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Although still a good experience and great food, sadly, joyride no longer serves the slow fade drink which was my favorite item (food or drink) on the menu. I inquired about the drink and asked our server if the bar still had the items required to make it, and she was sweet enough to ask. She informed me that they have new bartenders so they did not know the old menu, but they attempted to make me a similar drink. Unfortunately, they didn't have the watermelon base so they swapped it with a pineapple one. I'm very grateful as now all the drinks are tequila/mezcal based besides beer and wine. read more

Stopped on for a late dinner. It was pretty empty but made fo a nice quiet evening. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. We had complimentary salsa and chips. The salsa had a nice charred taste and not too spicy. I ordered the fried fish taco, shrimp taco and the chicken taco. My brother got the beast burrito with a side salad. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The slaw and pico on my tacos were delicious. I like that they have plenty of seating options and fresh ingredients. I was disappointed in the churros they were hard and only slightly sweet. They tasted more frozen fried the. Freshly made. read more

I would love to give this restaurant 5 stars but two other tacos fell short for me. The carnitas was good but not great. The carne asada was over marinated and it didn't have that delicious grilled Mexican taste. The best taco was the battered fish. It was perfect and juicy and not overcooked. The chips and salsa were good too but the chips were a little thick. I will be back but they could improve a few things in my opinion. read more

Went here for a Yelp elite event and was a great experience and I loved it overall. The staff was welcoming and a small bottle of beer salt as a souvenir was a nice touch to the whole experience. I may go here often with my friends. Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: I ordered a crispy fish and other shrimp tacos. Both looked nice since they had colorful ingredients overall and the taste was great for both of them. The crispness in the fish was really crunchy and the shrimp was soft & juicy. The tropical margarita was well done with good taste and a satisfying concentration of alcohol in it. However, the margaritas are in an unusually small glass. Service: The staff was nice and welcoming. No complaints during our quick experience. Ambiance: This place seemed an old establishment but has a nice layout of seating, including outdoor ones. Has some unique interiors. Hygiene: Everything was clean in our experience, however, I did not use the restroom during my visit. Price: This may not be the most reasonably priced menu but for the downtown area this is a nice place to be in for food and drinks. read more

Joyride Taco House was an overall good experience, made GREAT by the friendliest sweetest server we had named Nubia! Food was a bit slow to come out and some orders were gotten wrong but other than that, we had a fun time. I really want to stress again that Nubia was the highlight of the night. She truly cares for her tables and if I come back it is to hang out some more with her! The food was tasty! If I had to pick a fave it would be the super decorated nachos. They were delicious! It was a fun night with good friends, with plenty food left to take home. Thanks for a nice night! read more

I've been here twice. Handicap parking right in the front. I had tacos both times. I like the Fried fish taco and love the guacamole. And the carnitas taco was tasty also. The nachos are a little different. They toss the chips in enchilada sauce. They get really soggy quick. The margaritas are strong and tasty. The prickly pear is my favorite.
