We had walked in with hopes of using their bathroom. Fate brought us here. The best tacos I've had in a long time. They aren't your plain old tacos, they have interesting salsas on them. You would think the words like figs and pomegranate wouldn't go with tacos but they most certainly do . The bowl of guacamole and chips were a plenty and they went down with a bottle of Topo Chico. The place is well lit with open. The owner, Racheal is very friendly and cares. That really matters to me! When you're traveling thru St. Helena, come, you will enjoy it read more

I want to like this business because it's a cool concept. The problem is they just don't get the flavors right and they are very expensive for what you get, akin to Mother's Tacos in Napa. I have tried Ray Rays on three occasions. Napa Farmer's market via the food truck, at a Christmas event in St Helena, and at their location in St Helena. Their brisket is tasty and the highlight of their fare. Their salsa can be delicious but inconsistent. They do not know how to make chilaquiles. Everything in the restaurant is served in small paper trays ala the food truck world. The portions are small for the price. It bugs me so much that this place could be so much better. Season, taste, season, taste, make it a habit read more

Ray Ray’s Tacos - This is $40 worth of food. Chilaquiles (top) One Eleanor Taco One Debbie Taco - Tacos Near Me - St. Helena, California

Ray Ray Tacos is one of those places where the bill makes you pause before the first bite. At around $50, you get a bowl, one taco, a beer, a canned soda, plus chips and salsa--pricey, yes, but not shocking given the location. The experience itself lands squarely in mixed review territory. The chips were a highlight: crunchy, fresh, and clearly not an afterthought. Unfortunately, the salsa came in a little too aggressive--salty enough to make you reach for that canned soda faster than planned. I ordered the mahi mahi bowl, and while the fish itself was solid and well-cooked, the rice was bland and oddly mushy, doing the dish no favors. The Emma taco was... fine. Not bad, not memorable--just decent enough to eat and immediately forget. Overall, Ray Ray Tacos isn't a regret, but it's also not a place you'll find yourself craving later. Some bright spots, some misses, and a price tag that makes you hope for just a bit more wow. read more

We came back yesterday, and it was just as amazing as we remembered it. Those tacos are to die for. We also had some housemade tortilla chips and I couldn't even stop eating them after I was full. I love the hometown vibe here. Would return every day if I didn't live in another county! read more

Loved this spot! So cute! We were here maybe a year ago and saw that they had just opened. We wanted to go but didn't get a chance to make it work. Stopped by for quick lunch on Thursday around noon. So many great options! Breakfast taco menu is available all day. I was tempted by them but we ended up getting the quesabirria tacos instead. 3 tacos that had perfectly melted cheese with well seasoned brisket. The vegan refried beans were delicious - what's the secret to making it vegan and so yummy??? The side rice was good too. Our friends had some tacos and drinks. They loved it too! Super clean bathroom. Self service salsa and water. Loved all of it and can't wait to go back! read more

Doing a dog sit in Oakville and knew we had to revisit Ray Ray's! Lucky us, Rachel was there today. We had: Lady Bird Salad, Florence taco (vegetarian), Biddy taco and 3 Amigas dips and chips. We have enough leftovers for another meal. As always, the flavors are fantastic and the portions plentiful. read more

Really delicious reasonably priced fresh. I had the chorizo breakfast taco. It was on a flour tortilla. Nevertheless it was delicious! Can't wait to come back. read more

Great staff and friendly! I ordered one taco, the brisket with cucumber slaw and pomegranate seeds. I really liked the soft shell and how they grilled it. Hit the spot during the in-between afternoon hours. The venue is cafeteria style but very clean and spacious. Right on the main road. Affordable! Ideal place to stop if you like tacos and need to grab a quick bite. They had vegetarian options. read more

After a long journey from Virginia, my fiancé and I were happy to make it to St. Helena. We were looking for a quick dinner option that wouldn't break the bank and Ray Ray's Tacos was the spot for us. You order up front at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. On our visit, I ordered the Florence taco and the Angelina taco. The carnitas in the Angelina was really nice. I also adored all the veggies and how they were cooked in the Florence. My fiancé got the Carnitas Tacos (which was the priciest thing on the menu for $20). They were pretty good. I kept stealing the guac it came with. This is a really cute and charming restaurant. I loved all the seating options available both inside and outside. We chose to sit outside. I loved all the people watching. Things close early here, so it was nice to find this taco spot in time. They had one single gender neutral restroom here. It's a great stop for a quick, casual, and affordable place to eat. read more

We were visiting on a vacation to go see wineries and my husband found this gem! Of course we love tacos, but this place hit the spot! You don't always want something super heavy and this place had all the flavors and everything tasted fresh. The green salsa was my fave! Mamas: YES! They have a changing table for changing the baby. Great work @Ray Ray! Get a few tacos, chips & guac an and drink and your tummy will thank you. Prices were reasonable and we were able to find a parking spot pretty close on the street around the corner. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but I chose the window seating so we could look outside. I wish they had this place near my home, it was delicious! read more

I ordered cauliflower tacos, ate two bites, and realized it was pork. I returned them and they insisted they were "overcooked cauliflower," despite the visible fat and shredding. I was gaslit and ate pork for the first time in 10 years because of their poor ethics and business practices. Horrible experience. Do not go if vegan/veg. read more

3.5 stars I am not going to lie, I wanted to like it more than I did. First off, I do applaud them for creating inventive tacos with unusual ingredients. I went with the suggestion of the guy behind the counter and ordered the carnitas with pickled kumquats and the brisket with the dill cucumbers. I thought the flavors were unique and on point, but texturally, I found them to be boring and kind of dry. I thought the carnitas would have been ten times better if they crisped them up on the griddle. The brisket taco I felt was more successful, but, again, I got a little bored with it half way through. Also, at $7-9 per taco, that shit better be bangin' (I dock points for lack of value.....sorry, I'm totally that bitch). read more

Order: Biddy, Angelina, Penny's queso, and large chips. At first glance, I was surprised that the total came to $32. It felt a bit steep, especially with one taco priced at over $8. The **Biddy** was good. I really enjoyed the fresh vegetables, and the shredded brisket with pomegranate on top added a refreshing twist. The **Angelina**, however, stole the show. The carnitas were cooked to perfection, and the flavors came together beautifully. Their hottest salsa was a pleasant surprise--both incredibly spicy and packed with flavor. It elevated everything I paired it with. As for the chips and queso, they were outstanding. I added a bit of the hot salsa to the queso for an extra kick, and it was perfect. Not a single bite was left behind. **Tacos:** 8.1 **Chips and Queso:** 8 Overall, while the price is on the higher side, the quality makes it worth it. I'd definitely go out of my way to eat here again! read more

I came up to St Helena this morning to just explore, when I noticed this place and a sign that said breakfast tacos! Now, one thing about me, I discovered breakfast tacos a few years back, while in Austin, and have feverishly searched for them in the Bay with zero luck. So, obviously I had to pop in! I ordered the Dolores with brisket, and my only regret is that it was so filling that I could only eat the one! It was so filling and absolutely delicious! My only suggestion would be if the cheese were melty, but that's me nitpicking! I can't wait to come back! Also, worth a mention that the lady at the register was very sweet and helpful in walking me through the various salsas. read more

Fabulous flavor, inventive options such as roasted carrot tacos and pickled kumquats! Who knew I needed both in my life up to this point? Super affordable, delicious flavor, easy to find and sit. Communal tables, so sharing is caring. They had me at queso! Anywhere that wants to add queso to their menu is typically my kinda place! The texture wasn't textbook smooth but we devoured it anyway, flavor was delicious. It was excellent to add to my tacos along with the 4 salsas they make in house. The tomatillo one was my favorite. Overall, I can't wait to go back and try more options. So many choices! read more

4.5 Super visit. Quick service. Simple ambiance. Tried a variety of tacos. All weee super tasty. Well prepared and simple but tasty! I had the Camilla and it was filled with scrambled eggs and a couple of slices of avocado. The other tacos were excellent too. I think this is a 5 star spot...soon at new location I highly recommend this place! read more

Now that Ray Ray's has a brick and mortar location in downtown St Helena, and is open 5 days a week for breakfast and lunch (even early dinner pickup on Thurs-Sat) we finally had an opportunity to head in and chow down. We headed in for early breakfast and were joined by friends, totaling a party of 6. The special that day was Churro Pancakes... So, we had to order normal breakfast tacos and split the special :) The place is simple, clean and neat with seating on indoor picnic tables (a couple of small tables are streetside). Coffee is fresh and strong, plenty of drink,options displayed on the counter, including the fabulous Pott Wines. Our tacos were fresh and delicious and the pancakes should be illegal! Service was fast and friendly. Great little breakfast or lunch spot! read more

This place is amazing! Nothing fancy unless perfection is fancy. Ray Ray's is flat out delicious. And the people are so kind and really helpful with insights and recommendations. If you're looking for breakfast tacos, look no further. No disrespect to Texas breakfast tacos, but this blows them away. The dining room is simple and clean and there are a couple of small tables on the sidewalk as well. In addition to the tacos, they have a few simple sides, soft drinks, beer and wine. Ray Ray's is the deal. read more

High quality ingredients, great tasting tacos! They're a bit bigger than street tacos so two may be filling. Highly recommend the breakfast tacos (serves all day!) with either the medium or hot sauce. The hot sauce has actual flavor, not just heat to be hot. read more

Delicious food and most of it happens to be gluten free! Great service and quality. The owner was there and explained all the options.

Amazing tastes, so fresh and unique. I'm glad I let my senses take me here. I had the Angelina taco which is a keeps some of the traditional shredded pork citrus flavors you'd expect in an oversized street taco but Ray Ray's Tacos elevates it with heightened flavor profile. Next I tried their homemade coffee cake and yum , plus freshly brewed coffee. Win! read more

Super friendly owner, we got there minutes before happy hour. She recommended we wait for the few minutes to get any discounts. The street tacos sounded great, but my wife and I opted for the Maui bowl and quesobirra tacos. Absolutely delicious and we highly recommend. They had Shinerbock beer, which is my favorite. This beer is from Texas, and I asked how was a Texas beer introduced to Napa? Long story, but in the end the owners husband was from Houston, so here we are. A great, casual "cafe style" taco place with excellent authentically prepared meals. Highly recommend. read more

I'm so excited to support a place that truly wants you to enjoy your experience. The wife and I stopped by to get tacos to-go. The breakfast tacos (served all day) are especially delicious. We grabbed 5 tacos to share with grandma in the morning. Wish and hope you can expand to Solano County (maybe Vacaville would be great). Love your tacos and we tell all our friends that they need to stop by your yummy place. Thank you so much. Sometimes, simple is all the blessings we need. read more

Nice minimalistic ambiance, food looked good. Guacamole and chips were excellent. We both had the shrimp tacos. Tried to call to let them know we both ended up with stomach pains and gas, and needed to go to the bathroom within an hour of eating but no phone number to be found! Would have preferred to talk to someone than leave this review! read more

Super tasty and friendly staff, the pink sign stood out, glad we stopped. The break, egg, and poblano breakfast burrito was so good.
