Food: Predictable menu hit or miss

The food at Ray's Tepeyac paints a dull picture. Though quantitatively generous and cost-effective, the once compelling menu now disappoints with outdated recipes. The Carne Asada and Carnitas Tacos, along with the Chicken Enchilada Lunch Special and Hollenbeck Burrito, have repeatedly satiated diner's cravings. However, gustatory descriptions spanned both ends of the spectrum, from praises of flavorful carne asada to complaints about stale dishes.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, large portions praised for satisfying hunger and quality.

  • Okay Taste

    Mix of good and bad food experiences; service often redeems.

  • Low Quality

    Complaints about old rice and stale, overseasoned, or bland dishes.

Vibe: Dingy ambiance lacks charm

Don't expect a trendy, aesthetically pleasing ambiance at Ray's Tepeyac. The dated and musty interiors do little to elevate the dining experience and an unimpressive alcohol choice falls short of expectations. While it may offer a neutral environment for family gatherings or casual meet-ups, it lacks the intimate setting ideal for romantic date nights.

  • Okay For Dates

    Ambiance is tailored to families, not specifically for romantic dates.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Dated, musty decor and dingy ambiance negatively impact experience.

Perks: Large groups, happy servers make amends

While issues like limited parking and tight outdoor seating might irk you, Ray's Tepeyac does have its redeeming qualities. The restaurant shines with its excellent and quick service, noted favorably by many. Maximum brownie points for its ability to accommodate large groups seamlessly, making it an apt choice for big parties.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Quick to seat and serve, but overall experience not explicitly mentioned
