    Really good tacos and margarita! Sat at the bar and had quick service. Lovely atmosphere.

    Great Taco Tuesday at Joyride Taco House!

    Fantastic TACO TUESDAY at Joyride Taco House in Gilbert! Located in a great downtown area of Gilbert with a great casual vibe. We had such friendly and very fast service and delicious food! The Queso is amazing! Add any one of the delicious meats for an amazing amount of flavor! The grilled shrimp tacos and carne asada tacos were amazing! The carnitas taco, at least mine, was a bit under seasoned but all in all, a fantastic location!!

    Standard chips and salsa

    My neighbor and I tried this spot and we enjoyed the food and service. We ordered the Taco plate and the Standard plate. The iced tea was as much as the Standard plate ($4.25 and $4.50 respectively). Thank you Shyanne for excellent customer service.

    Kids quesadilla

    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!

    Delicious tacos and lightning fast service!

    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!

    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

    Stopped in for happy hour during the middle of the week so it was pretty quiet. Service was friendly. Food came out quickly. My veggie taco was actually really good. Both tacos had a lot of flavor. Nice quick option in downtown Gilbert.

    Crispy Fish Carne Asada Taco

    Good service for how busy it was. All my food was great but the crispy fish taco was amazing. My pomegranate lime ranch water was so good.

    Birria Breakfast Burrito
    Caroline E.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think it is a crapshoot and they default to 45mins. I was quoted 45 mins and was seated within 20 (party of four) on a Saturday night.

I had a…read moreside salad, though I should have probably gotten French fries to be consistent with how I've eaten Reubens in the past. But, my wife had fries that I could steal and I appreciate having a salad option. The little side salad had a nice bitterness complemented by the slight sourness of the dressing. The meat was flavorful and sliced perfectly while the bread was toasty enough to stay together long enough to hold in all that juiciness. Our server was attentive and friendly and I'll happily go back to try some menu staples ... unless the next special demands my attention like that Reuben did.

    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.

Anyway, Clever Koi came to the rescue and it was a great experience! I have been to the location in Phoenix, but it was a dinner visit and the restaurant was very dimly lit. This time it was lunch, so it was nice and bright. The service was wonderful!! I did not catch their names, but the the gentleman and lady who served us were very helpful. We ordered 3 of the Steamed Buns: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and the Bun of the Moment, which happened to be Drunken Shrimp, I believe. I didn't taste the Hot Chicken, but the other two were super tasty!! Portions were great and every morsel was devoured. The Krazy Fries were damn delicious!! Packed full of flavor and very filling, it's a great dish to be shared. I can't pass up pork belly!! Lol I forgot what drink my friend ordered, but I had no shame and had the Pornstar Martini, yessir!!! It was quite comical when our server mentioned that most people are embarrassed to order it because of its name, but I proudly said it loud and clear! That drink was perfect for brunch/lunch! Overall it was a great visit, minus the twitching fly that was on our table after we were seated. We didn't know if it was half dead or what, but my friend just swiped it across the table until it fell off. I'm not sure they have any control over flies coming into the restaurant as people enter and exit, but it was off putting to have to shoo them away while you're having a meal and trying to converse. Other than that fly issue, the visit was solid. Prices aren't bad and there's a big parking lot outside the establishment as well as a public parking garage not far away. I highly recommend Clever Koi if you've never been!
