No need for explanations.
When it comes to puffy tacos Ray's Drive In is the standard bearer.
The measuring stick to all others.
A must visit !!

A San Antonio native but this is my first time in 20yrs since I've been at Ray's. I told my children as we past by about it's long standing history. Today I went alone to see for myself about this restaurant. Unfortunately it was not the best. It didn't look two busy. As I was seated others arrived after me but was served their food before me. Thought that's ok maybe my plate takes longer to make. As I anticipated my plate, thinking it was going to be great. The steak, rice and beans were cold. The only thing hot was the fries and the like warm tortillas were hard. I was never asked if everything was okay. To top it off as I went to go pay for my cold meal two people behind the register said they could not take my payment but had to go to another register to pay. I'll just chunk this as a $20 lesson not to return nor bring my kids to eat here. Sry but that's the honest truth. Have a great day.

If you come here, you must have a puffy taco. The shell is so crispy and tasty. I usually get 2 puffy shredded chicken tacos and add cheese. Their salsa goes perfect with them. I dolce the chicken with it! They have fresh homemade lemonade, that is perfectly sweetened. Super friendly, from the host, waitstaff to the people preparing the food in the back. Amazing service!

Tried for the first time and sadly won’t be coming back. Food quality nothing special, and the prices for what you get just not there. Ordered two puffy taco plates, one cheese quesadilla by itself, 2 waters 1 soda and paid $40 dollars. They charge you for the ice they put in the water and charge you for cheese on top of the tacos!? The waiter Esther showed up three times, once to take our order, once to give us our food, and last to give us our check.

The puffy tacos are good—crispy, light, and the clear standout. The beans and rice were just okay, nothing memorable. The interior is rustic and old-school, which fits the drive-in vibe.
Parking is rough, with a small, tight lot, especially when it’s busy.
Worth a stop for the puffy tacos if you know what to expect and plan ahead for parking.
