| - 3 visits to Joyride Taco House, 3 awesome experiences... Upward Projects continues to amaze me with their successful restaurant concepts and Joyride is no exception.
Joyride has a lot in common with sister restaurant (and another one of my faves), Postino. They both have a casual, fun vibe, attentive and friendly service, indoor and outdoor seating, and stellar food and drinks.
I've been to Joyride twice with my husband and once for a girls' dinner, and each time has been awesome.
I am a huge fan of their chips and salsa... note: the first basket is free and each refill after that is $2. Pretty good deal, but they know how to hook you; the chips are addicting!
Each time I've been there, I've ordered a different drink... a beer, a blood orange margarita, a cucumber serrano margarita, and my latest find and favorite of all is the cucumber mint agua fresca con booze! I had it with tequila, but I bet it would also be good with vodka.
As for the food, it's all fresh and delicious, but some of my favorite menu items are:
*the guacamole - who goes for chips and tacos without guac?!
*the shrimp ceviche
*the garden variety burrito
Believe it or not, I haven't ordered the tacos, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with those either... and there are plenty of options! It's also worth noting that there is a kids' menu (I will be bringing the kids next time), and that the kitchen doesn't mind if you custom order a bit, ie: "no cheese" or "add chicken." Gotta love that!
If you haven't been to Joyride yet, I suggest you go immediately, especially if you can get there before 5pm daily for happy hour when many of the drinks and pitchers of beer are only $5. Enjoy the ride!
