    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Birria tacos and consome!
    Ashley C.

    Birria tacos for the win!!! I looked high and low for some authentic birria tacos and consome in Dallas, and I'm happy to report that I've found it!!! This place knows their tacos, and their Michelada's are amazing!!! I downed the drink before I could capture a picture, but the birria speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    Best Birria tacos this side of the rio grande!!! The Birria Special comes with four tacos and a large cup of broth.

    Sina S.

    The birria tacos are so good! Not greasy, with a crunch and the consomé sets them off just right. Tried a brisket taco, the rice and beans too and everything was tasty. Will go back.

I came in mainly to watch the game and have a few beers, but the service was so good you'd think I had ordered the entire menu instead of just casually committing crimes against the free chips and salsa.

Honestly, if they treat a guy this well for drinking beer and demolishing complimentary chips, I can only imagine what happens if you actually order food. Definitely made me want to come back hungry.

The restaurant seemed warm and inviting with all the natural light, but as the meal progressed, there were quite a few misses that degraded the overall experience here. First, they didn't really have much in the way of non-alcoholic drinks except for sodas, which I typically don't drink. I wanted a flavored lemonade or an agua fresca. The waiter said they had lemonade and they could add some mango flavoring, but when I go the drink, it was terrible. It was like a Countrytime or something to that effect. I couldn't taste the mango flavoring. The waiter was kind enough to offer to remake the drink when he realized I didn't like it, but it was the same again, so I gave up. It just tasted so artificial and gross. For my entree, I ordered an enchilada plate with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The first time it came out wrong. It was beef enchiladas and not the cheese that was listed on the menu. Then they brought out my plate again and it was now covered in queso. According to the menu, it was a cheese enchilada with chili con carne, but I didn't want to raise the issue. I was really hungry at this point and just accepted it. The food was okay...2 1/2 or 3 star territory. The restaurant itself was pretty cool. I like the location and the abundance of natural light, but the miscommunications with the kitchen and the generic lemonade drink exposed some real opportunities here.

    5/5 Stars Everything…read moreabout my dinner at El Carlos Elegante was exceptional. Rather than ordering à la carte, I chose the Elegante Experience, a four-course chef-curated tasting menu that concludes with dessert for $99 per person. The menu evolves with the seasons, allowing the kitchen to showcase its freshest ingredients and current specialties, so every visit has the potential to be a little different. For the quality of the ingredients, creativity, and execution, I thought it was an outstanding value. Every course was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. Not a single dish felt like an afterthought. The house-made masa program and wood-fired cooking really shine throughout the meal, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely courteous without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance, it feels refined while still being warm, familial, and incredibly inviting. If you're ordering a cocktail, I highly recommend the El Dragón. It paired perfectly with the meal and is worth trying. I've uploaded several photos with this review be sure to flip through them to get an idea of just how beautiful the presentation is. El Carlos Elegante is one of those restaurants that reminds you a tasting menu doesn't have to be intimidating or overpriced. It simply delivers outstanding food, excellent hospitality, and an experience that feels well worth the price. I'll definitely be back.
