wow...thank GOODNESS we recently missed the west-bound Moses Lake exit to S******ks, and found Taco El Ray Espresso at the next exit (172)!!! It's true - the best parts of travel are found in the detours!!! It was early (6AM), we were tired, hungry and just plain crabby for all of it. We waited, in (crabby) silence, while the truck in front of us in the drive-thru took away a HUGE order of food & multiple coffees. It was a good sign indeed!!! So. Our turn. We ordered from the generous menu of items hand-made-to-order; yummy truck food with a generous splash of Mexican spice and care. I had an incredible pesto stuffed homemade bagel, and my husband had an overflowing breakfast taco. SO GOOD!!! This is NOT fast food - you may actually have to wait 4 minutes (!!!!), but OMG!!! worth every second. And wait - that's not all...BEST. COFFEE. EVER! Fabulous aroma & flavor! This was all served by the kindest human being, who cheerfully shared that she's up and at work there by 5AM, 6 days a week. Otherwise, she "sleeps in" and is there by 7AM...!!! So, to anyone looking for a destination breakfast on I-90 a stones throw from Moses Lake, we'll see you there. We salute the hard-working & generous Team Taco El Ray Espresso! You made a huge difference in our entire travel experience, and, maybe, just maybe, saved our marriage (you know, missing an exit? hungry? tired? no coffee? ) read more

Way too overpriced no need for a taco to be $5 this isn't a jaripeo. Just go to simply divine where you can get the exact same drinks for $6

I've never had a bad experience here. It's a great location for the truckers I wish I lived closer; however, I do make the effort of driving all the way across town just for their crispy bacon never misses read more

Stopped on my way to the airport during a work trip. Conveniently located right off of the freeway, service was fast and polite, latte was tasty, breakfast burrito held up well to eat on the airplane 2-hours later. Although I am unlikely to be back in the area, I am sure to come back if I do. read more

Excellent coffee and breakfast drive thru. Our order came out quickly and tasted delicious. We ate in our van in the adjoining parking lot. Great coffee and food stop. read more

Tacos Del Ray was really good and just an easy walk from our hotel. The staff was welcoming it was clean , overall nice vibe. Try it!

Stopped by passing through Moses Lake and I was happy I did. My daughter had an Italian soda and the pancakes, which she said were great. I had a coffee and a breakfast burrito, which were both also great too. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Carne Asada tacos are really good. Bardia tacos are the best. The sauce is very hot overwhelming but if you use a little, it's not too bad the mixed drinks are strong. read more

Firstly, the gal at the window misled us when she told us that a taco order came with 2. The carne asada taco was okay but the meat had some fatty parts and there was no sauce except an extremely spicy sauce. My husband ordered a chicken burrito which had a lot of gristle. My Italian soda had curdled cream in it and was far too sweet. Nice little drive through hut though. Will not return. read more

Big thumbs up for the crew in this little shack! Heading home after a night in ML, we just needed a brunch snack for the ride, and wanted something lite because we had a big dinner planned. They made some very filling ham/egg/cheese english muffin sams, and we had to delay din-din by a few hours, haha. Real nice barristas in there, and they cooked the huevos up fresh for the muffins--not pulled from a steam tray. It took a minute, but I'll always appreciate that effort. We were outta there for $11, with tip. We'll try their coffee next time. Because there will be a next time... read more

I'm somewhat of a burrito connoisseur and I just had this place for the first time. Absolutely insane burritos. The jalapeño really adds a mild, yet perfect, crunch and zing. My wife had no notes on her coffee, which from that woman is the highest praise possible. read more

I tried this place for the first time today and the man working this morning informed me that they had a break in last night. He told me that he could make me a coffee but was unable to take any payment and let me know that I could come back tomorrow and pay. The fact that they were still open and continued to make drinks for customers during this tough time for them was just amazing! The coffee is very yummy and flavorful as well! I will 100% make this my new "go to" when I am in the area for work (: read more

food was delicious and well priced, as well as the drinks!! I loved it ! Service was also extremely friendly, nice, and fast. Definitely would recommend stopping here :) also got a adobada taco *not pictured* that was so so good read more

Been here twice. First time.... Was AWESOME!!! GREAT service, the drinks were killer. What do they call them ...got the shrimp hanging of the glasses? Oh man. We were fans. Second time great service. Great drinks. Ordered what we had before. A great mess came out. Both of ours. We let them know. We just weren't happy. Not sure if it was dufycoins or what. We haven't been back. I want to but I hate having to complain if it's bad. If I go back and it's good or bad I'll either up one star or down one. read more

Epic breakfast burritos and way above average espresso drinks!! I don't know how they do it but all their spots serve amazing and fresh food!!! read more

Very good breakfast spot. There was a line and it went quick , the serve really good hot fresh food. The breakfast bagel is delicious.

Great stop right off the freeway. Ordered 2 breakfast burritos and 2 specialty coffees. Lines on both sides but they were quick and efficient. Super nice too! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent service. Good coffee. Excellent breakfast burritos. We had the vegetarian burrito and the bacon. Both were AMAZING! The bacon was thick and well cooked. Nice and crispy. The salsa had a nice kick. I would definitely stop again when driving on I-90 in Washington. read more

What a great little drive thru. Coffee and chai tea were both excellent! The lady working was really sweet and professional, and the place is right off I-90, so was super easy to get to. I wish we hadn't already eaten because the menu looked delicious with a variety of tacos (w/house made tortillas!), tamales and other taco truck favorites as well as breakfast sandwiches and bagels! Will be back for sure next time we're in the area. read more

I frequently visit this coffee stand. One of the best in Moses Lake. Super strong coffee. I think it's 6 shots of espresso in a 24-ounce. The value is there. More expensive than other places but when you need a good wake-me-up coffee this is your place to go. Never had an issue with the service. It's a drive thru and lots of times it's busy but that's because it's so dang good. You can smell the food while sitting in your car. read more

Very good, great food, coffee and service. If I'm in Moses Lake again I will be coming here. read more

This is a clutch stop for a road trip to grab and go breakfast (or lunch). You know a place is good when you see a lot of folks lined up to pick up their regular. This matchbox sized stand has yummy breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Lots of options for protein shakes and blended drinks if that's more your style. For the really picky coffee drinkers, the latte milk wasn't frothy (more just hot milk) but otherwise fine. Will be back again to try more on the menu. read more

Perfect place for a quick coffee and delicious breakfast burrito. The staff was exceptional and friendly. Will definitely revisit when traveling to Seattle from Montana. read more

I have to say the first time I had coffee here it was awful but I went back a year later and the gentleman that served us was incredibly sweet and made me the best coffee I've bought anywhere in months! Thank you! read more

The coffee is delicious! For being such a small place they offer so much! I was in town for 2 nights and visited them both mornings. I found them on Yelp and am thrilled I stopped in. I'm pretty sure I'm drinking the White Zombie with dark coffee and thats my favorite. read more

Kitchen closed on Sunday No food. Please update business info. Barista did come outside to get my order when car at window was taking awhile. read more

Was very impressed by the custom drink I ordered(not on menu). I was looking for a certain taste and they knew exactly how to make it and it was spot on. read more

Just so you know the kitchen is closed on Sundays. So no food today when we visited. Not able to review because we were just hungry not thirsty. read more

Love the crunch wrap and my kid loves the taco salad! The ladies are nice and very sweet. We definitely recommend swinging by.

Good coffee and my breakfast burrito was better than expected and cheaper than expected, double win. Plus I got to try whatever "white coffee" is.... which coming from a former barista was pretty cool to see and learn something new about coffee. Would recommend. read more

Delicious! This was a great stop on our road trip. Easy drive-through and quick to make food. My husband got a breakfast burrito and the grasshopper coffee. I asked for a burrito with no meat or cheese/dairy and all the veggies. Everything we got was delicious and very well priced. We are stopping again on our way back!! read more

I wish I could give them more stars! Best coffee stand I've EVER been to. Got drip that was excellent, but the breakfast.... wow! English muffin sandwich was made to perfection. The breakfast burrito... phenomenal! The staff was hands down the most friendly people you could hope to start your morning with. Happy Birthday to our barista! read more

I went there for the first time don't know if it was just an off day but I felt unwelcome and my drink was made wrong and to top it off they charged me way to much I got a drink that should of been 2.50 dollars and it costed almost 6...not a good first impression I think I'll stick to my usual place instead. read more

My fiancé and I seek out local places for our daily coffee needs. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato and was completely satisfied. Usually I take an hour to two to enjoy my drink. This one I finished in less than 30 minutes. Lol. My fiancé always drinks black coffee. He said this was the best coffee he's had I weeks. It was a light or medium roast and was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Found this spot the night before and committed to backtracking a bit to have tacos and coffee. Great service .. great food made fresh to order and good coffee. Next time we are road tripping through central Washington this will be on the list to stop on through read more
