Great service, drinks, extensive menu, and entrees!! The Mexican rice was delicious. The guacamole extremely fresh. Will be back next chance I get!!

Cheese Enchilada
Angela K.

I love coming to Ray's for their enchiladas! I recently discovered the light combo plates, and I've been getting the light combo #3 the last few visits. $9 for a crispy taco, queso puff, and 2 cheese enchiladas. It's the perfect amount for me. There is something abt that queso that keeps bringing me back to this dish lol! I dip whatever I can into that cheese. It's soo yummy. The enchiladas are always served piping hot, and they will never not slap. My dad and brother shared the parrillada especialda plate. Out of all the meats included in the dish, I enjoyed the grilled shrimp the most because of its texture. The beef was pretty tough to chew. Everything was seasoned well though. Service is always phenomenal. The owner is super friendly and kind. I heard they have great margaritas here too, but I have not had the chance to try them yet. This is a very popular spot, so it can get really busy and chaotic during dinner time, but vibes are good! Plenty of parking in the lot.

bland , no seasoning Enchiladas and rice.

I've been to Ray's a few times and for the most part, I've enjoyed it my food. This time was different. I ordered the Beef Enchiladas as usual on 10/18. The Enchiladas looked so good until I took a bite. It was bland as I don't know what.. Would it hurt to season the meat, season the sauce. At that point they could've seasoned the corn tortillas. I was very disappointed as this was supposed to be my dinner. Presentation looked good but Enchiladas had no flavor whatsoever. Booooo :(

Ray's will always be my choice whenever I go out for Tex-Mex The green salsa or avocado salsa whatever it is. it is amazingly delicious and their chips are the perfect amount amount of crunch I love if they have entrées that are under $10 so if you aren't super hungry, you can get a good deal. plus, my personal favorite, the chimichanga is freaking amazing. They put actual sliced delicious fajita steak in there and drizzle it in delicious queso. Oh my lanta. Slap of that green sauce on it and you're good to go. I don't drink, but the people that I eat with do! and they have found that the drinks are delicious. Q and a helpful tip. If you don't drink like me, their jicama is very refreshing! The customer service has always been amazing. The folks at the front are always there to greet you, and the waiters are personable and very easy-going. 10000/10

I must be the last person in Katy , Texas to dined here. In point of fact, it may have been here…read morelonger than half the subdivisions, but with good reason. The food, the ambience, and the service are all outstanding. We went for Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was packed however, from what I understand, it is often packed. Let's start with our server who was just wonderful. He not only guided us through the meal and the drinks, but he had very practical recommendations. His service was timely, and his friendliness was wonderful. We have the fajitas which were not only an apple serving, but the beef chicken and shrimp were all very flavorful. Typical to fajitas it came with enough accompaniments to really really make Forray a wonderful meal. The serving is so ample that it became a takeout meal as well. The ambience is typical of Mexican restaurants. However, the people who we were dining with in the same small dining room were incredibly friendly and old-time customers of the Restaurant. I can't tell you how many years. But given the food and service, I understand why. I'm guessing because it was Cinco de Mayo. There was also a mariachi band and they were just wonderful and added to the venue considerably. If you're in or around Katie Texas, you really do need to stop here.

"THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS MARVELOUS, DID CHICK FIL LA HAVE A BABY"…read more Have you ever visited a restaurant where the manager is greeting everyone as if he is sitting and dining with you. RENE is absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in MAYO greeted me with a handshake and smile at the bar. I was so impressed with his warmth ability to make me feel special. He literally interacted with every patron at the bar. He took his time explaining things and making sure I had everything I needed. Then out of no where here comes RENE making sure I was well taken care of also. I ordered the rib appetizer. 3 delicious succulent ribs with fresh seasoned shoe string French fries. Barbecue sauce was impressive to flavoring. The meat fell off of the bone in my mouth and down my esophagus, almost feeling like a smooth piece of mouthwatering beef. The fries were so seasoned, fresh, hot and just the right amount of crisp. The taco esthetics are to perfection but flavoring is not it's best. I was not impressed at all. The beef was very bland but it was so pretty. It was not very tasteful at all. They need to add more seasoning or try another beef. The vegetables were very fresh and neatly cut. The beans and salsa given with the chips as complimentary was everything. The Salsa is very red, fresh and chunky. It has not spice at all and drowned in tomatoes. The sauce is so red that is makes you think the tomatoes were picked and chosen right outside the door. The beans are so flavorful and seasoned to perfection. As I was eating, Mayo my waiter asked if I mind moving over one seat to allow a couple to join us. Now mind you I was already eating. A part of me wanted to be angry but MAYO was so polite and kind with asking and the couple was grateful and appreciative as well. The lady next to me was welcoming as I had to move closer to her seat. The outside is very KID FRIENDLY as it has a unique LARGE sandbox. Someone has to take care of the kids. THe inside looks like a house with the rooms being situated so unique with a calm demeanor. ALL OF THE STAFF WALK AROUND WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE AS IF THEY REALLY LOVE THEIR JOB. THEY MAKE ME WANT AN APPLICATION.

We love the thicker chips they have, as well as their salsa, and the kids devour them by the basketful. I've tried different dishes each time I've come here and have liked them all. The kids meals, if you get the tacos and nachos, come in a cool plated presentation, but, alas, my kids do not eat those and have not gotten to see th dinos in person. The kids meals also come with ice cream and sprinkles, so the kids love it, and we get to enjoy some running around outside in the green space. There are lots of different types of seating areas inside and outside the restaurant. The bathrooms were bright and clean.

Love the music ... Okay food: The free tortilla chips were okay , a bit hard but the salsa was great . I got the lunch special 11-4pm pick 2 and comes with sides !! Mexican rice was goooood! Beans were goood! Beef enchiladas lol my first time and it was good but I wouldn't get it again lol just not my go to . The flauta was okay as well ! Chicken wasn't seasoned so it just tasted like shell and chicken. Overly about 6.5/10 . Due to lack of flavor ! Customer service was great ! I will consider coming back for drinks or try the fajitas and margaritas!!

Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.
