This place was pretty quiet when I went, so I was fortunate to get really quick and awesome service. The taste was delicious and fresh. The price per value is very high and worth the trip to Midtown if you're in the area. I ordered two grilled chicken tacos for lunch with sour cream, Pico, onions and it came to around $10 including tip.

1st time here. The food was fresh and delicious! 😋 Staff was attentive, and service was quick. I ordered 3 slices of the churio cheesecake, but I should have ordered, the whole cake!!! It was so good! 😋

El Ray was not what I was expecting for a Mexican restaurant. It was a counter service restaurant where you order at the register and they bring it to your table. Although, the guy at the register did try his best to provide service to the tables in between taking customer orders. A little pricey, but was a good experience with good food.
