While out furniture shopping, we were famished. The salesman suggested that we try the tacos on the…read morefood truck outside. Since moving south, we don't usually eat from food trucks. But the salesman was young and raved about the ribeye tacos.
When we walked, in the light rain, to the truck that had just pulled up, we asked about the menu. The owner hadnt had time to put it out. There was a short menu, with a combination of Mexican and Vietnamese options. We talked up the owner and he told us that he,hispanic, and his wife,Vietnamese, did this part-time on Saturday & Sundays. The food was authentically made by people who had eaten and cooked it their whole lives. As we waited for our food, they cook to order, a line quickly formed and it appeared people drove over just to buy from Ray's. The customers were quiet, orderly and patiently waited to place and receive their orders.
Although we wanted to try the Vietnamese sandwich, because it was our first time, we opted for 4 tacos, 3 ribeye and 1 fish, at $1.50 each. We got in our truck and drove the half mile to an electronics store. Before we went in, we took a bite of our tacos and OMG, M-A-G-I-C. The ribeye fajita tacos would make you slap somebody. They were moist, seasoned and just enough cheese to make you beg for more. The fish taco was good, but maybe needed a little more salt. The plate of tacos came with a small hot sauce, a guacamole and another salsa. We didn't leave our truck until they were gone. We were wiping the crumbs from our faces as we walked into the electronics store. While searching for a printer, our conversation easily transitioned to how many tacos we were getting to take home, 9 or 12. We calmed down and opted for 6 with extra cheese. The rain had picked up and as we sat in our truck, Ray brought us our order, not part of the service. We raved to him about how great his food was and got his number to call in the future to locate the truck. This is definitely a food truck that I will visit again and I thought the world should know, how truly AMAZING Ray's Amazing Kitchen is.
