"19"^^ . . "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.\n\nJoyride 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.\n\nI've been to Joyride twice with my husband and once for a girls' dinner, and each time has been awesome.\n\nI 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! \n\nEach 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.\n\nAs for the food, it's all fresh and delicious, but some of my favorite menu items are:\n*the guacamole - who goes for chips and tacos without guac?!\n*the shrimp ceviche\n*the garden variety burrito\n\nBelieve 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!\n\nIf 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!"^^ . . . "5"^^ . "6"^^ . "2016-02-28T00:00:00"^^ . "17"^^ .
