Had lunch here yesterday and it was delicious! For starters, the chips were warm & fresh, if just made it, so very good, and the white sauce was so creamy & good! I had the lunch soft chicken chimichanga, my daughter had the burrito Vallarta & my grandson has the fajita quesadilla. Everything was so good! Portion sizes are pretty generous, too. The young lady that took care of us was very nice & very attentive!​ read more

I have eaten here several times and it is consistent and good. Parking can be a pain. There is street parking or parking in a dollar general lot that is shared. I am always greeted with a friendly smile, seated promptly and the server is always waiting for my drink order prior to even getting seated comfortably. I had tried several dishes here. The menu can be overwhelming. Food is always fresh, hot, tasty, and good. Service is always top notch! Sweet tea is so good here. Guacamole is very good here!!! This is nice Mexican place to visit when you come to the lake. Highly recommend!! read more

My wife and I have been a regular customer for many years and love the food and the staff there. However, there is a particular waiter that has marked up his tip on four different occasions now. And it was a generous tip each time. I have most likely eaten my last meal there. read more

Perfect service. Super fast. Great prices and simply perfect sublime food. This is what I would expect to get in Mexico. First time here but certainly not our last! read more

Ayala's Mexican Restaurant - Near plate nacho supreme and I don't recall the name of my wife's but she loved it! - Mexican Near Me - Clarksville, Virginia

Christobel Ayala has been a seeker of perfection in the restaurant business for ions, but he always worked for someone else until a year or so ago when he opened Ayala's Mexican Restaurant in Clarksville, Virginia. He had a dream that formed in his home in Guadalajara, Mexico, a dream to own his own eatery. For years, he already had the family name picked out for the restaurant he finally built and opened in Virginia's only lakeside town. This evening we chose for dinner Camarones Al Mango (shrimp in a tantalizing mango sauce created by his brother, a chef) and Tres Amigos (Tiera Y Mar). Both were delicious, but the shrimp in the mango sauce was superb! I'm pretty sure that four of Christobel's brothers work with him, reason for the family name. But we got the youngest server, not a brother, but Jose, who was extremely friendly and very attentive. You will enjoy Ayala's with pleasant indoor dining and street front outdoor dining. Christobel? He's living his dream and we're enjoying eating it. When you go, tell them that Pancho Villa sent you! read more

Stopped here because we had our dog with us. Good food, good service, and we got to enjoy the beautiful weather!

Would definitely recommend this place. Food was excellent. We started with guac made at the table. My wife does not like jalapeño so he split the dish and only added the peppers to one side. Would recommend the vip margaritas. For entrees the Miami loco was a chix and shrimp dish served in a grilled pineapple. Over the top! Our other dish was the mixed fajitas which were also very good. Finished off with the fried ice cream. Excellent value for all we received read more

Good addition to town. Food came out fast. Things could have been a but hotter and they could use some decour but overall good. We will return. read more

My granddaughter and I met three other women here it celebrate a birthday. We all ordered lunch specials. My iced tea was extremely weak and diluted. Everyone around us was being served and we were not. The waitress said out order was coming soon. After a one hour wait we brought this to the owner's attention and our food finally was delivered. Not explanation was given for the delay. The meat in the taco salads was cold. My burrito carne asada was luke warm. It contained about two tablespoons of tough dry beef and a slight smear of beans. The tortilla was almost impossible to cut with a knife it was so tough. My granddaughter reported her mushroom quesadilla was very salty. We all agreed this was a terrible experience. We are unlike to return read more

If you like Authentic Mexican food this is where you need to go! The Lengua is ALWAYS cooked to perfection and that is not the case in most Mexican Restaurants. read more

My mom got sick from the food. Major heartburn and indigestion! Avoid this restaurant!

The food was great here came to eat once we finished working great staff good food would come again very clean and the food portions were big and great to share. Ambiance was nice as well. read more

The service was good but food was not good. We ordered three different dishes and they were very bland. My mothers dish was not even hot, was lukewarm. First Mexican food I have ever had that had no flavor whatsoever, very tasteless. Will not be returning. read more

Decided to try this restaurant and very glad I did. We split the fajita nachos. The food was cooked well; the chicken had a decent flavor and the peppers + onions were perfect. The tomato slices were a little large...but that's just me. If I had to nitpick, I'd have to say more cheese. Flavors were good. Food was tasty and it was a great late-evening cheat snack. Great pickup service. Snapped a quick photo because my camera battery died but as a food lover, I'll definitely be returning for more. Edit: We returned for more and I will say that the food could potentially be better in terms of flavor/seasoning. I think the quality is alright. read more

Ayala's Mexican Restaurant - Fajita (Chicken) Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Clarksville, Virginia

I'm giving 2 stars because the food was lukewarm and the lighting makes you feel like you are eating in a Home Depot aisle. Hopefully they will work out the kinks in the kitchen and fix the lighting. read more

The food just really isn't great. Not as fresh and as enjoyable as Los Bandidos the other Spanish restaurant in Clarksville. Just not really an enjoyable place. Been there a couple times and had the save waiter who is always rude and cocky. The owner on the other hand is a very nice gentleman and looks like he really does try to work hard. I just don't see me coming back to spend anymore of my money at this place.... read more

The carnitas enchiladas were absolutely wonderful. The meat was so juicy...you could cut it with your fork easily. Our server Raul was personable and took great care of us. The restaurant was clean and I enjoyed the simplicity of the decor. read more

food is relatively expensive and very low quality. we have tried this place 3 times before I decided to make a review. very little care in delivering value for your hard earned money read more

Forgot part of our order. Made my son wait 30 minutes while they made the missing entree, while the other 3 got cold. Brought it home and that entree was burnt to a crisp. Will never give them my money again. read more

I wanted to try this place a few times before writing a review. we went during their opening week, hoping for "authentic Mexican food" as their banner claimed. As someone who has traveled to Mexico several times and lived in South Florida for most of their life, I can confirm, there is nothing authentic about their menu. If fact, it's an almost exact replica of the Mexican restaurants menu just up the street. There is no consistency to the food/flavor. The best part of this place is that there is more room to walk around, but that's about it. read more

We got into town around lunch time for our camping trip and decided to grab some food to go. We got the fajita quesadilla and a side of rice to go. We were very pleasantly surprised with chips, salsa, and a white sauce that was like sweet ranch. We LOVED it. The service was great, our food was ready when they said it would be. I can't speak much on the atmosphere because I didn't dine in but from the walk in everything was beautiful. Husband said it was the best quesadilla he's ever had!! If we are ever passing through again we will definitely be back! read more

Food is good. The menu is sizeable. If you can't find something on their menu, you need to just go home. Lots of the folks here transferred from another local place and they good people. Ayala's is so new that they cannot even get a liquor license. (Bummer!) They have been getting wrinkles ironed out for a bit and doing well at it. Definitely a good place to go! read more

Great service, fantastic food. Portions are very large and easy to share. Very clean, friendly and I will return often!

Good food and good drinks. Reasonable prices and great service. Great new addition to downtown Clarksville.

This new restaurant is super nice and very clean. It has lots of seating options. The food is great and the service is quick! Can't wait to go back! read more

First experience was a takeout order. Food had the potential to be good, but was LOADED with salt!! We ordered the dinner for two, and everything was SUPER salty. I could feel my BP going up with every bite. read more

Our first takeout was awesome. All fresh and hot. Highly recommend the homemade guacamole.
