Came here on a Friday afternoon to enjoy happy hour after work, only to find that they have completely removed their tacos and all margaritas (except the one) and only 3 beers to choose from their happy hour menu. We only got the drinks on happy hour and left to eat elsewhere. This was the main drive for us since we live 30 mins away, but won't be back since tacos on happy hour was the main reason why we went because it was affordable.

Shawn was great! He was super fun, had great style, and excellent service. Happy hour has good deals and I loved that the drinks were strong.

Our experience at this place was mixed. The outdoor patio area was enjoyable and our server Daniel was very kind and attentive. Our food came out in a timely manner, however the food itself was a bit disappointing. Our tacos were mostly cold and the pork adobada, carnitas, and carne asada tacos lacked flavor, size, and amount of filling. The "Standard" taco included the expected flavor and amount of filling but was still lukewarm at best. Given the prices, we expected more in terms of quality. Due to this, the overall value felt off. Despite this, we realize it was pretty busy time as we attended on a Tuesday afternoon. We remain open-minded about returning for a second visit. Blessings

Love their cucumber serano margarita!! I usually order it extra spicy with no rim. Their tacos are all pretty good. . I highly recommend the Baja and the chipotle shrimp. The corn app is delicious. Their staff is phenomenal. The host, Meghan is super welcoming!!!

We got the street corn for an app which was soooo good. We both got a couple tacos each, variety of shrimp, pork and beef and we inhaled them so good! Parking was a bit difficult to find as it was a busy Saturday evening. Our server was on top of it, super nice. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend going here if you’ll have the chance!

They changed The happy hour menu my 2x a week here will turn to 1x a month. I mean it’s still very much worth it but coming from someone that lives and works around the way. This place is no longer for an around the way girl like myself ?

Between two visits joyride was 5 star and 2 star respectively. The first night we walked in close to closing but we were well taken care of. Our waters were filled and chips were always replenished. The food was amazing and service was prompt. Because I enjoyed the experience so much I came again the next night with my boyfriend and we were very disappointed. No chips were offered and I drank his water because mine was empty. The food was ok.. two out of three of my tacos were cold and his enchiladas were lackluster. The staff was kind but not attentive. I may return to see if I can get the same experience as the first night.

I have been coming here for years for taco Tuesday today had to be one of the more disappointing trips to joyride. Tacos took a very long time to get out and we’re ice cold when they hit the table. I asked the server to keep our water topped off and she disappeared for most of the excruciating long wait for the food to arrive. Can say I will be waiting a few weeks before coming back.

The food was ok, besides the drinks, the best thing was the green chile queso. Definitely order the Tropicale.
