Service was top notch and grandma vibe which I loved . Food was delicious and came out pretty quick with their famous puffy tacos! If you come for dinner try to come early due to parking challenges. Overall, had a great time and would definitely come back

I had not been back to Rays since I was a little girl; probably 30 years ago. I didn't feel like much had changed. We stopped in for the crispy dogs and they were just as I remembered. The restaurant is filled with great memorabilia on the walls which just adds to the nostalgia Rays has with most San Antonians. The staff was awesome and very friendly. Stop by and have a crispy dog!! They are amazing.

What a neat place! Came here for lunch and my party of 3 was seated right away. It was my very first time coming here and it definitely felt like home! I love all the funky decor. I ordered the ground beef puffy taco plate and crispy dogs as an appetizer. The crispy dog was the best one I've had. So delicious. This place is famous for their puffy tacos, though. I liked them, but I think the oil that the tortillas was fried in was not fresh and I could taste it. I also thought the rice was a bit dry. It had good flavor, but it was so subtle, it kinda just tasted like white rice. So I'd really like to see the flavor on the rice really amped up. The salsa that is served with the chips was not spicy at all and really disappointing. Also not a lot of flavor on that either. I'd come here again and bring folks from out of town! It's an experience for sure!

We went to this restaurant based on a travel vlog we watched on YouTube (Matt & Nat). They are the inventors of the "puffy taco" and have a great selection of tex-mex cuisine. It looks like a place that is always busy. Luckily, we got a table pretty quickly and had food in front of us in under 15 minutes! We ordered mainly tacos but also a side of rice and avocado. I love when you can order avocado and not got guacamole (I can't eat raw onions). Their side order is just mashed avocado. Add a little salt and maybe lime and it's perfect! So good on all the tacos we ordered. We did a mix of puffy taco shells and soft corn tortillas. Everything was fresh and delicious and we loved the light, crunchy texture of the puff taco shell.

So, Ray's is one of the original puffy taco joints in San Antonio! You have Ray's and also Henry's they were brothers who started their own joints (in-family) The ambiance is very hustle and bustle like. I dined in at a small table, and people are often walking in and out to pick up their orders. I was greeted and seated promptly. My waitress Naomi was amazing! Salsa and chips came out to the table. The salsa was nice and bold! I ordered a combo plate with 1 puffy taco (chicken) and 2 chicken enchiladas! The food came out not long after I placed the order. The puffy taco was fried to a crisp and tasted so delicious! Warmed me to my soul! The rice and refried beans turned up the notch on flavor and goodness! There was also carne adobá which I sloughed into the tortillas that I had on the side. The enchiladas were coated in a delicious sauce and each bite filled me with pure ecstasy! This was serious business I tell you! This is an original location for amazing food! Check it out!

Loved Ray's! It's a great atmosphere here, with large spaces and enough room for large groups. The prices were are super solid and very inexpensive for the quantities you get. The puffy tacos were so unique! I haven't had them before so I was happy to try them. The carne guisada is the best one in my opinion, but all are very good! The chips and salsa they provide to start are very tasty , and a bit spicy (I loved the heat!). Cheers!
