    Barbacoa tacos
    Julie M.

    New Mexican restaurant. Love the decor and the music, it creates a fun atmosphere. Barbacoa and chicken is pretty good. We got the sopes and tacos and really enjoyed them.

    Great tacos and fresh ingredients. I think they fry the tortillas before they serve them. No liquor license yet.

    I was hungry late at night and just so happened to be in the area when I discovered this place…read more Only two other people were there as it was close to closing time but the lady working the counter was very inviting. She helped me pick some of the tacos I ordered as well. The birria here is what I recommend the most as well as the shrimp taco. The lady was kind enough to change my agua fresca when I admitted I didnt enjoy the first one! That customer service goes a long way.

    I was looking for a taco spot with tacos under $3/each and this spot was at the top of my list…read more Not only that, they have fast casual service, which is easy for takeout. Right off of Jimmy Carter in Norcross, on a block away back street. This location is in a fun shopping center with TONS of free parking, so I just had to pull up. The restaurant is big, like 2x bigger than most resin the area. I ordered classic cilantro, lime, onion on corn tortilla tacos: 4 tacos al pastor (pork) 2 chorizo (pork) The meat didn't have that sear on it or any crispy bits, but was still tender, flavorful, and not too oily. 4 different salsas to choose from here, all are delicious and complimentary with your food. Also, ordered a Torta Milanesa (beef) - Fluffy bun and even better than the tacos, if I must say. Maybe this milanesa just hit a craving for me that I didn't know I had, but it was kinda romantic. Pour salsa on every bite and maybe even some lime. Cashier is very nice, line is fast. Atmosphere is clean, filled with tables full of families that you can tell meet up here weekly. If I lived closer, I would definitely visit for their weekday lunch special platters.

    Ray taco is very easy to find and it's in the little strip mall nestled between and across from…read moreseveral apartment complexes, which means they have a fantastic customer base. On the one hand, they do not have a lot of parking, but on the other hand, most of their customers were there on foot as Weir most of the customers for the other businesses in the strip. We walked in and were able to order within about two minutes. The menus were easy to understand with pictures for everything and the staff made things easy as well. As we ordered and I asked for the Birria Burrito, they asked which one. I let them know that I had seen a video on TikTok about their Birria burrito, but that I hadn't seen it on their menu and that was what I wanted to order. They said it was the Birria Cali and that it was very popular lately. I mean, yeah- the video made it look phenomenal and the audio with it was funny. I had also, previously, seen a video about their Machete and wanted to order that because it looked awesome as well. They had 2! One Birria (beef) and the other was Governado (shrimp). We went for the Birria- of course. Honestly, the Birria Burrito had plenty of flavor and more variety in flavor due to the various fillings- Mexican crema, lettuce, guacamole, potatoes (surprising, but honestly VERY good), plenty of cheese, and the Birria (and the sauce is poured right in- which I think could be avoided). It was delicious, but it shouldn't have been served on the paper as the paper began to rip when I started cutting up the burrito. I had wanted to eat the burrito like a burrito, but the moment that I picked it up, it became nearly impossible. The burrito completely opened up and all the fillings started pouring out onto the paper. I was able to wrap it up again with about half the fillings, but the burrito tortilla was so wet that it was just a huge mess. I ended up eating half of the burrito with a fork. I don't know why they didn't serve it on a plate. The Birria Machete was super flavorful and simple, just Beria meat and cheese with a cup of their dipping Birria soup. It was also nearly 2 feet long! Very cool. I began to wonder if the corn tortillas for the Birria Machete were made in store. I asked- and they said they do make it themselves! The corn tortillas were the most flavorful corn tortillas I've ever had! They had texture and they were clearly NOT the type of corn tortillas that I get at most places, those premade floppy unflavorful corn tortillas like the ones you get in the pack of 150 at the grocery store. When I find out, I will let you know because the texture and flavor of the corn tortilla on the Machete was phenomenal. The place was packed when we got there. It was packed when we left. Clearly, they get plenty of business. Everyone around us seemed happy and content with their food and so were we. I will definitely be back for another Machete to try some other things as well. Give them a shot if you haven't been.

    Always great to have a late night food option. More satisfying than QuikTrip, if you're looking for…read moresomething more than junk food and more consistent in quality and service than Denny's for delivery or takeout. I've had the birria queso tacos here, which are great. This is not my go-to spot for them, but to know I can get them at any hour if I haven't eaten yet is helpful. So far, besides the tacos, the tamales are probably my second favorite item here. The red pork ones are good, although I believe I've had the green ones too - also yummy. They are nice and juicy and plump, not skimpy like some places. The drinks are also good here. Very refreshing. I ordered the steak fries recently and also tried the ground beef enchiladas. I probably wouldn't get both items again, even though they were not bad. I think the fries for me would just be better fresh if I had picked them up and ate them immediately. But I do appreciate they took the care to package everything nicely (the cold toppings) to be assembled later. The enchiladas were more traditional (not with heavy sauce or lots of melted cheese). I tend to prefer the Tex-Mex style where it's smothered. This just comes down to my personal preference. Definitely check them out if you need a late night meal option or are at the gas station. I will definitely keep trying more items from them when I need a late night meal.
