| - I am shocked that this place has such good reviews. One thing must be made clear, this is not authentic Mexican food, not even close. It is super hipster and I think that Joyride has made the hipster trend the priority of this place and not the food.
When we walked in there was no hostess, and we had to flag a waitress down just to get our seat. It took them forever to take our order and the waitress was extremely unprofessional. She tried to memorize our order but could not, and we ended up having to repeat it several times. The food took so long to come out and it was cold by the time it came out. I had a baja, a chicken, and carne asada taco. Filibertos is better than these tacos. And they were $2 each, but there are much better street tacos running up to $1.89 all around! The 11 cents were a steep price to pay for bad service and bad food. Also, in the middle of our meal we requested limes (Yes, the tacos do not come with them), and it took them a god ten minutes to bring them out. To be fair, I did not expect them to remember to bring them to us.
The food here is garbage, as is the service, the restaurant is severely understaffed, and while the restaurant is cute, the music was playing so loudly I could not physically hold a conversation with a friend. I cannot think of a single reason to come back here. Honestly speaking, taco bell has better tacos than Joyride. It's clearly catering to hipsters that care more about the aesthetic of the food than the flavor.
