Rayo's Taqueria ~ What I Ordered ~ - Birria Taco Plate ($12.99) ~ Review ~ Rayo's Taqueria is a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in Dallas with some of the best birria tacos around. I order the birria taco plate every single time, and it never disappoints. The tacos are crispy, super cheesy, and packed with flavor. They're generous with the meat, and you get four tacos, so it's very filling. The plate also comes with consommé, which could use a bit more flavor in my opinion. Still one of my favorite birria taco spots I've tried - definitely worth checking out! ~ Rating: 9.5/10 ~ read more

This is my second on third time going to this place & I always order the same thing- birria tacos. I'm sure their other tacos are good as well but once something is good I tend to stick with that. I have no complaints about the birria, there's a good amount of meat, and the tortillas are the perfect crispness. The consome is not my favorite, I do wish there was meat inside there as well. I can't speak to the service dining in, because one only done pickup orders. The overall vibe is low key, and super laid back. read more

Came here because I saw Blondes Who Eats, Dallas Influencer, come here. She is known for finding really good breakfast burritos and tacos with the green salsa! I am so so so glad that I came here. When we came in, I just knew it was going to be good. I wanted the breakfast burrito, and I got bacon, egg, cheese and beans. It was delicious. It was the perfect size for me. You could tell that the tortilla was homemade, and I liked the green salsa too, it was more on the mild side. Probably should've added a little red for some heat, but all in all solid! My sister went with the birria tacos, and they looked phenomenal! She gave me a bite of one, and I have to say they were pretty freaking good. The meat was super tender, and the consume was well flavored, it was really yummy, and they crispy edges of the tortilla, you just couldn't go wrong. I would come back here for sure and get both items, or some breakfast tacos, which I got one for my dad to go. I would recommend ordering extra bacon for any of the breakfast items. read more

I had a choice for lunch to drive farther to a place I've been wanting to try or going to Rayo's which is closer to home but which I have already tried and reviewed. In the end, Rayo's won out because of location and also because the first time I went to Rayo's it was outstanding. This time I tried the birria tacos. I had them only once before in Cancun and they were ok but the hype did not meet the reality. This time, based on Yelp reviews for the birria tacos at Rayo's, I gave them a try and I was not disappointed. Your get 4 tacos to an order. I think it was $15.99 (I am guessing because I did not get a receipt). Each taco has a generous helping of meat. The meat is very juicy and tender, good quality meat. They add onions and cilantro if you want (I did), and top it with a bit of cheese but not too much. The tacos are very good alone without any dipping sauce. But the dipping sauce is what takes them over the top. The sauce has deep flavor and is a bit spicy. I am not sure what they put in the sauce, but it was delicious and had me sweating. Luckily, they have Mexican Coca-cola so that cooled me down. Service was fast. From ordering to food on the table was maybe 5 minutes. I am a fan. Now I get what birria tacos are about. I will be back to Rayo's. read more

I woke up with a very specific craving for a breakfast burrito, but most places I frequent didn't contain the desired ratio of eggs, meat, and other ingredients for my taste today. That's when we went searching for a new options and Rayo's came up. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. When we got there the place wasn't busy, but there was a constant trickle in of customers. The decor is minimal and it's fairly quiet with one speaker playing music pretty low. The menu had plenty of options and the prices were extremely reasonable. We were greeted immediately and placed our orders pretty quickly: 2 breakfast burritos, 1 bacon breakfast taco, chips and guac, 2 horchatas, and flan. I asked for no potatoes in my burrito. We sat down and they immediately brought us our horchatas, and the guac came out shortly after. The guac tasted super fresh, and the horchata was to die for. We actually bought more horchata after we left lol The rest of the food came out pretty fast and also tasted great. The taco had a very generous portion of egg which made me extremely happy, and the burritos were the perfect portion size. Mine wasn't any smaller than my bf's even though I asked for one less ingredient. All in all we'll be back to try more from their menu. Highly recommend! read more

I visited Rayo's Taqueria in Dallas, TX on Saturday, 6/29/24, around 1:30 PM for lunch. I decided to order a plate of Carne Asada Enchiladas and a plate of Birria Tacos. The enchiladas tasted great, it just needed more enchilada sauce. The tacos were phenomenally delicious; I loved the flavor. The customer service was decently fine. The restaurant appeared to be super busy, and it took a bit of time to receive assistance. The inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious. There were a lot of tables and chairs available for eating indoors. I recommend checking out Rayo's Taqueria. Good food and affordable prices. read more

Took a chance on this taqueria on my way to run an errand, and I'm glad I did! I chose the taco plate--three al pastor tacos with rice, beans, grilled onions, and a grilled serrano pepper (no radishes unfortunately). The tacos were loaded, the meat was delicious, and the balance of heat with the salsas was spot on. The meal was light yet filling, and I didn't get that sleepy feeling that usually hits after a big lunch. I'll definitely be stopping by again to indulge! read more

This is my favorite Birria Taco and Ramen spot in all of the United States....that I've traveled to so far and I've been to a lot of places. This is a small mom and pop establishment. We felt very welcomed. The service was quick even with the language barrier. This will be my first stop anytime I go to Dallas! They don't get enough recognition in my opinion, but they def have a loyal customer. Everything was a 10!!!!!

Delicious birria tacos. Ordered to go and they made it 20 mins home staying crispy and hot. The consommé had good flavor and I just dipped into it and crunched away. Probably even better there. The birria tacos are seemingly a bit greasy in general but these were not overly so. Also ordered a few gorditas which had tasty corn cakes cradling steak cut into small pieces. Red and green sauces had flavor and everything was seasoned well. Service was friendly - caught them when they were empty right at 5pm on a week night and the food came out quickly. Can't wait to go back. read more

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: having one of the best birria tacos in DFW! I had a few other food bloggers tell me Jazzy Tacos birria tacos are better but this one is in their top 3 as well! My top 3 so far are the Off The Cuff chicken birria, Vidorra's Birria, and here! THE VIBE: casual dining. Lots of seating. The area is a bit sketchy I'm not gonna lie so don't come here looking nice. Parking lot is uneven PRICE: ~$20 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9.5/10 - This taqueria had a very large menu and I was tempted to get something else but I had to come here after seeing @blondeswhoeat post about their phenomenal Birria tacos! - The crunch on the shell of these tacos were insane they were SO hot and crispy when it came out to me and tbh it was still pretty hot when I was done eating it's honestly a lot of food they give you 4 big meaty and cheesy tacos! - I can't get over how crunchy the shell was sometimes Birria tacos can be soggy but these were SO good. The consume was not too oily at all I hate when consume is oil overload this was perfect and with some extra lime was perfect. - The service here was actually very nice I believe the owner took my order and he was so sweet and helpful! They honestly had a very diverse customer population too. - This area is a bit sketchy but those are where the best tacos are at lol. read more

I decided on the milanesa de pollo after looking at some photos and my partner got the chicken enchiladas. We snacked on complimentary chips and salsa on the meantime. The milanesa de pollo was beautiful, with generous pieces of chicken, a smattering of charred corn, and a fresh arugula salad to alleviate some of the deep-fried guilt. Sadly the enchiladas were less enticing -- the tortilla wrap was kind of rubbery and the chicken was unseasoned and stringy. The service could also be more attentive, since we ran out of water for a bit. Not a bad choice if you're in the area, but maybe do some research beforehand on what people recommend.

Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.

A very cool vibe
