Ray's Mexican Restaurant

I've gone twice to Ray's. Food has been a 7/10 at best. But it levels up... The food not stellar, but not terrible. It will hit the spot and then some. When you order their fries, they do mix the cheese with the fries and not JUST on top. That's quality prep right there.Ambiance is also average. Nothing stands out.What stands out above all that makes this restaurant is the service. Owners and workers are unbelievably friendly. Owner was just so pleased that I gave them tip that he offered more food. There's a smile that's sincere in each time I've gone. I think that's why the food just hits a 11/10

I'm from Austin, where we do breakfast tacos, so I'm skeptical about breakfast burritos. We ordered 5 of them from Ray's, and I'm not sure I can ever look at our puny breakfast tacos again the same way.Carry-out was super fast with fantastic friendly service. The bag felt like a 25 pound kettleball that nearly pulled my arm out of socket, and I realized this was going to be too much food. The burritos here are massive. Like, split a couple for a family of five, massive. Even better, they are shockingly delicious. Tortillas are flawless, and every bite tastes incredible. Our breakfast burritos ended up being breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the day. Ray's served up some of the best food we had on our entire trip to San Diego, and it was definitely the best value. Absolutely highest recommendation, and I can't wait to come back some day.

Breakfast burrito with potato, rice, beans, eggs, cheese.Eggs cooked perfectly. The beans are packed with flavor, and I'm hesitant to add beans to breakfast burrito, but I trusted the chef. The rice through me off, but worked well and added that extra starch flavor. Red salsa is mild-hot and compliments burrito.

I wish I could share the excitement in my husband face overtime we agree to come here. Its ran by the sweetest couple, that put so much love into every dish and It's definitely not your typical fast food Mexican restaurant. You get good quality and freshness of every ingredient. We always get the surf and turf burrito, and tacos. This time we tried the chicken enchilada with had so much flavor and filled with lots of chicken. The restaurant is also super clean and decorated well. I love everything about this place. Thank you Rays for the best food.

I ordered to go breakfast breakfast chorizo, and torta. The food was extremely salty. I will never come back. I'm Mexican but this is too much. I'm very disappointed.

This is the best Mexican in San Diego. Homemade food with flavors like no where else. Very casual dining and the owners always take care of their customers. I love the vibes and the plants! If you are looking for a new taco shop - look no further. Get their surf and turf burrito. It is the best. Next time I want to try the carnitas special!

Just an okay place. Not amazing, but not bad either. I got the Quesadilla with carne asada. The meat was really good and they gave me a lot, but they skimped out on the amount of cheese inside. Kinda weird considering most places do the opposite. The overcooked my tortilla too because parts of it were really hard and inedible. What I didn't like was the guacamole. It was just avocado and I could tell by the taste that it wasn't very fresh. I hate getting nonfresh ingredients especially when I'm paying extra for it. The salsa also wasn't my favorite. Even if I'm in the area, I probably wouldn't come back here. It's a decent place, but nothing that made me go "wow!" Although the food as leftovers wasn't bad.

Great burritos got a carne asada one with red sauce and it was delicious! Good portion size and price. Staff was friendly too and restaurant is casual and clean.

Mom and pop vibe, very humble... but the food was tasty, very inexpensive, and the mom and pop in question were really friendly and made me feel welcome there.It's one of those places that could pop up on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives... as a dive... but in the best possible way.

My Aunt and Uncle took me and my cousin here today for lunch and we had a spectacular experience. We tried the rolled tacos - one each chicken, beef and potato. I have never had a potato taco before, and I'm here to say I can't wait to go back. These would also make great appetizers. The chips and guac were also fresh and tasty. And the enchiladas were amazing. We had some churro's for dessert which were just exceptional. Light, fluffy and not greasy in the least with a huge helping of delicious cinnamon sugar. This place is very low key, but clean, friendly, awesome service and a casual spot for lunch or an amazing business for catering. We are so lucky that my Aunt and Uncle introduced this gem to us. Clearly this will be a family favorite for years to come!!!
