This place is consistent. Great food great service with friendly staff. Came in for breakfast. Ordered the chorizo a la Mexicana and the ham and cheese omelette. They gave chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and crunchy and the salsa had a little spice to it. Portions are generous so be sure to bring an appetite.

It is always amazing when your meal starts with amazing chips and salsa and an ice cold beer. The enchiladas were amazing. Both the host and the server were so kind and very attentive. I can’t wait to visit again.

Rays Tepeyac was authentic and delicious. The albondigas soup was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with tender meatballs and rich broth. The taquito plate with rice and beans was equally satisfying – everything tasted homemade and full of authentic Mexican flavors. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving real comfort food done right.

The waiter Pacifico, or he calls himself Pacifico was very attentive Unfortunately, there was a bug in our food, which was disgusting . All they did was take the food back They didn’t offer compensation. They didn’t offer to take the food off the bill The food was actually pretty good. I hadn’t been here in a while. The atmosphere was loud Unfortunately, parents don’t contain their children to show the manners so kids are running up and down the aisle One of the kids almost got hit by a hot plate I would hope they would address that, but they didn’t
