    Came here because I saw Blondes Who Eats, Dallas Influencer, come here. She is known for finding really good breakfast burritos and tacos with the green salsa! I am so so so glad that I came here. When we came in, I just knew it was going to be good. I wanted the breakfast burrito, and I got bacon, egg, cheese and beans. It was delicious. It was the perfect size for me. You could tell that the tortilla was homemade, and I liked the green salsa too, it was more on the mild side. Probably should've added a little red for some heat, but all in all solid! My sister went with the birria tacos, and they looked phenomenal! She gave me a bite of one, and I have to say they were pretty freaking good. The meat was super tender, and the consume was well flavored, it was really yummy, and they crispy edges of the tortilla, you just couldn't go wrong. I would come back here for sure and get both items, or some breakfast tacos, which I got one for my dad to go. I would recommend ordering extra bacon for any of the breakfast items.

    Clean place. Friendly service. AMAZING Birria tacos!!! It's a great little hidden gem!

    Burria tacos

    I had a choice for lunch to drive farther to a place I've been wanting to try or going to Rayo's which is closer to home but which I have already tried and reviewed. In the end, Rayo's won out because of location and also because the first time I went to Rayo's it was outstanding. This time I tried the birria tacos. I had them only once before in Cancun and they were ok but the hype did not meet the reality. This time, based on Yelp reviews for the birria tacos at Rayo's, I gave them a try and I was not disappointed. Your get 4 tacos to an order. I think it was $15.99 (I am guessing because I did not get a receipt). Each taco has a generous helping of meat. The meat is very juicy and tender, good quality meat. They add onions and cilantro if you want (I did), and top it with a bit of cheese but not too much. The tacos are very good alone without any dipping sauce. But the dipping sauce is what takes them over the top. The sauce has deep flavor and is a bit spicy. I am not sure what they put in the sauce, but it was delicious and had me sweating. Luckily, they have Mexican Coca-cola so that cooled me down. Service was fast. From ordering to food on the table was maybe 5 minutes. I am a fan. Now I get what birria tacos are about. I will be back to Rayo's.

    I absolutely love this place! The vibe and the location are perfect, it's always such a chill welcoming spot. The employees are always so nice and make you feel right at home every time you come in. The tacos are sooo good, and their chicken birria is honestly the best I've ever had. The flavor, the tenderness, the seasoning everything is on point. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing tacos and good energy. Definitely one of my favorite taco spots!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito with no potatoes
    Azlin A.

    I woke up with a very specific craving for a breakfast burrito, but most places I frequent didn't contain the desired ratio of eggs, meat, and other ingredients for my taste today. That's when we went searching for a new options and Rayo's came up. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. When we got there the place wasn't busy, but there was a constant trickle in of customers. The decor is minimal and it's fairly quiet with one speaker playing music pretty low. The menu had plenty of options and the prices were extremely reasonable. We were greeted immediately and placed our orders pretty quickly: 2 breakfast burritos, 1 bacon breakfast taco, chips and guac, 2 horchatas, and flan. I asked for no potatoes in my burrito. We sat down and they immediately brought us our horchatas, and the guac came out shortly after. The guac tasted super fresh, and the horchata was to die for. We actually bought more horchata after we left lol The rest of the food came out pretty fast and also tasted great. The taco had a very generous portion of egg which made me extremely happy, and the burritos were the perfect portion size. Mine wasn't any smaller than my bf's even though I asked for one less ingredient. All in all we'll be back to try more from their menu. Highly recommend!

    Enchiladas Plate
    Savannah R.

    I visited Rayo's Taqueria in Dallas, TX on Saturday, 6/29/24, around 1:30 PM for lunch. I decided to order a plate of Carne Asada Enchiladas and a plate of Birria Tacos. The enchiladas tasted great, it just needed more enchilada sauce. The tacos were phenomenally delicious; I loved the flavor. The customer service was decently fine. The restaurant appeared to be super busy, and it took a bit of time to receive assistance. The inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious. There were a lot of tables and chairs available for eating indoors. I recommend checking out Rayo's Taqueria. Good food and affordable prices.

    Customer service & the food here is always amazing!! Their birria taco plate has so much flavor as well as the consume & the tacos are actually crunchy! Can't go wrong with anything from here. I've also tried the birria ramen & it's delicious as well as their horchata.

    Ordered a breakfast burrito online via Uber eats. Chorizo, beans, eggs, potato, flavor overall was very good. I would had liked the burrito a bit crisped. And it was a decent price

    Great food that's flavorful. I've enjoyed everything I've tried from here. The steak looks overcooked but it was actually super tender. Their soups are great as well.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5.

This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

The seamless valet service and warm, professional welcome set the tone for an afternoon in their beautifully appointed dining room. Our server, Carlos, was truly exceptional. He went beyond standard service by sharing the history and traditions behind the menu, which added a wonderful layer of depth to our meal. The Queso Flameado, prepared tableside, was a highlight, followed by excellent entrées and a perfect Tres Leches cake. It is clear that Manager Tony has cultivated a world-class team; every interaction, from the host to the dining staff, was polished and welcoming. Las Palmas offers some of the finest Mexican cuisine in Dallas, elevated by genuine hospitality. We will certainly be returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a premier dining experience.

There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case.

The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.
