Food is excellent the service is top notch and the ambiance is very open and family friendly. It's crazy to say it but this is the best pescado al mojo de ajo Ive ever had this place definitely has its flavor on lock. The chile coronado was also great with its flavorful roast beef with its consome. Me and my friend will come back soon. Thank you Denise. Please contribute to checking this place out and put your taste buds on a cruise. read more

Ray's Tepeyac is my go to for a Chile Verde Burrito! Large portion! I can only eat half. I tried their $6 Michelada Tuesday special for the first time. Really good balance of spice and tomato with Modelo. David always gives us great service and has become a family friend over the years. read more

Ray's Tepeyac sells thick, heavy portions with speedy service. The food's flavors are distinct and prominent, but it also tastes "mushy" like something left underneath a food lamp for too long. Currently, Ray's Tepeyac successfully captures the taste of well-cooked buffet food. (Quick Note: 3.99% Service Charge Applied to All Card Sales. Bring Cash.) I arrived on a weekday (around 1:50PM). The location had a large amount of elderly customers. I was immediately seated. Each table received complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were lukewarm, but its flavorful salsa was cold. In addition, the tap water tastes very off-putting; its water tastes like old melted ice. I ordered the Shredded Beef Burrito (Lunch Special - $10.95) and the Pescado Al Mojo De Ajo ($18.95). Service is fast! Both huge dishes arrived piping hot in six minutes and 47 seconds. The Shredded Beef Burrito is extremely big. The burrito is doused with tangy sauce and melted cheese with a dollop of sour cream. The burrito is stuffed with boiled, mushy beef. Thankfully, its sauce adds needed flavor to the bland burrito. The Pescado Al Mojo De Ajo had a lovely, addictive garlic and buttery flavor. Unfortunately, its strong taste is used to mask the thin, small, soft, mushy fish. Its rice successfully rekindled memories of Mexican rice, but it's very mushy. The beans are satisfying, but it's finely mashed and wet. Thankfully, its flavor is strengthened with its generous melted cheese. If I had two words to describe this dish, it would be "soft" and "hot." Service is adequate. In the beginning, I was helped quickly. However, once I received my food, I rarely saw my server. I had to eventually "wave down" a staff member to get my check. Staff moves like a fast food restaurant. After receiving the check, customers pay at the front counter. Regarding ambiance, Ray's Tepeyac is a charming location. I enjoyed the wall's artwork. The location is also clean and well-ventilated. High-energy Mexican music echoes throughout this location. The furniture looks dated like an old diner, but it's functional and well-maintained. Overall, Ray's Tepeyac serves huge portions. And it's a decent option for a budget meal. If deciding to visit Ray's Tepeyac, enter with low expectations. 3.8 out of 5 read more

To Go Order placed. Ordered red chile burrito, got a green chile burrito. The Mexican chopped chicken salad I ordered was a disaster. Watery with wilted mushy lettuce. They don't always fill my orders correctly but wanted to support our local restaurant. Unfortunately, this will be my last order. Not going back. read more

Ordered two combination plates with two shredded beef tacos, rice and beans for take out. I asked to separate the tacos so they wouldn't get soggy. The rice and beans were put in an aluminum pie type pan and the tacos were put in a separate box. Everything was in tact when I got home. The tacos tasted great and the amount of beef was generous. The beans were very tasty and the rice was pretty good too. read more

I come here for the chile Colorado and today it just wasn't up to par. The meat was a bit tough and dry somehow and tasted like it had been defrosted and was a bit bland, but the sauce was very salty. Even the rice was a bit dry and flavorless. This is my fav local place to get this dish, so I'm hoping it was just an off night. The margarita was yummy but not very strong. Def a good spot to go to if you like a variety of dishes. read more

Went in with my sunny son sunshine, we had breakfast I had the Chile Relleno plate and he had Huevos rancheros. It was so delicious. Our waiter David was amazing. He was getting into it with another waitress just a tad over a broken coffee maker but all in all it was funny to hear the bickering. He told homegirl she was still sleeping lol anyways loved it. The music was playing . The vibe is mobster feel. Old timers comfort. I love this place. We will be back again. read more

The service at Ray's was amazing! The staff were very attentive and sweet. I used to go to this restaurant all the time when I was younger with my mom and dad and it brought up so many memories for me. I got the Pescado Al Mojo De Ajo which was a very garlicky and buttery. The portion sizes are large and my boyfriend and I both had a lot of leftovers to take home. Only thing to note is that they do charge a fee for credit card I believe. read more

Food was ok large portion. This was my first time dining here and last. Unfortunately. When I received my check the bill states there's a surcharge if you pay with credit card. Good thing I had cash. There are plenty of Mexican Restaurants in the area that don't charge a surcharge for using your credit card. The reason why this is happening is the restaurant has to pay a fee for customers using there credit card. read more

I had dinner today with my daughter we both ended up sick. We both ended up With food poisoning! Food overpriced! Salsa was tomatoey down. Chips no refilled. Tacos meat was dry and old . On top of that a surge charge of 3% for using a debit-credit card.. that's ridiculous and unacceptable! Nor did I see no signage posted on menu nor in front of cashier area . This charge is not legal due because it is not posted. In writing about it! Surge charge will conflict me tipping which isn't fair to the servers! Filed a complaint to the BBB. We won't be going back anymore. We been going there for over 20 years but this the last we go there! read more

My husband and I ate here after work as a mid-week treat. The restaurant looks small from the outside but once we were seated, we noticed it was quite spacious and there was lots of seating. The service was great and the food was pretty good. They serve chips and salsa complimentary. We ordered flautas, taquitos, and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. My favorite was the taquitos. The cheese enchilada was good but a little too heavy for me especially with the rice and beans. read more

Great food and the potion sizes are insane!! The food here is so rich in taste and simply delicious! The tortillas (both flour and corn) are warm and perfect, don't know if they make them there or not but they are spot on. My group had the steak and eggs, the chorizo Mexican style, Manchaca with eggs and I had mole with chicken. Each dish could have feed 2-3 people alone. Come hungry and ready to take some delicious food home for 2 or 3 more meals lol. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. I don't like Mexican food, but when I ate here, I fell in love. The service is absolutely genuine. It was like a warm hug. Ambience is a little bit rundown, but still feel at home. I really like their tangerine fruit cake. Tried the lingua. read more

Not the same as I remember the Chile Relleno. Maybe wasn't a good day. But needs to be revamped. I was disappointed

I'm about 88 percent sure that Ray's Tepeyac is in no way related to the El Tepeyac mini-empire that began on Evergreen Avenue in Boyle Heights. Still, on the off chance that the food and service were as good, I brought my parents here. I didn't realize quite how far from Whittier it is. The food is excellent. It's exactly what I have come to expect from sit-down Mexican restaurants in Southern California--and which, for some reason, is so difficult for places in other regions to imitate. The value is also good. You get a lot of food for your buck. The service is excellent. My dad loves chatting it up with servers, busser, hosts, whomever in a restaurant he can get a laugh out of. He couldn't get enough of our server here. They were making fun of each other in a very playful way almost right away, and good humor meant that he was quick to refill our water and chips, and our food came out right away. As I said, Ray's Tepeyac is a quite a haul from Whittier. That might not mean anything to you, but if you are visiting from Whittier or anywhere closer to Downtown L.A., I don't know that it's worth the drive. The restaurant itself is cute and dark and decorated festively. The booths are tiny, so if you're on the larger side and if you have a choice, ask to sit at a regular table. The parking lot is weird and has quite an incline. If you're bringing someone with mobility issues, drop them off right at the front of the restaurant before you park. read more

Rey's has always been our to go place. Great food, great service, and great prices. My family has been going there since they opened.

I placed my order to go. The location has plenty of parking and seems to be a family restaurant. The lady that took my order was very polite and helpful. The customer service was great. The portions here are HUGE! The taquitos were probably the best thing I ordered. The guacamole served on top was tasty and freshly made. The tortilla on the Green burrito was a bit too raw for my liking. However, we did enjoy it. I was not a big fan of the shrimp tacos but the rice and beans were delicious. read more

We were running errands in the area and we were starving, we usually look for Mexican restaurants when we are starving lol! We went to this restaurant and from the service to the food, we had a really good experience. The chips were freshly made, and the red salsa that comes with them was flavorful. We ordered enchiladas and we both liked them very much. The lady that was our server was very friendly, nice and her service was prompt. If in the area, we will definitely dine here again. read more

The service by Anita was great!! Steak picado meat was very tender sauce was delicious. Only bad thing there was a shell from the onion in the food!! Again something ‍ I really don't like this place bc of last time I visited there was a hair on the food. Decided to try it again and give it a second chance That meat is tender but please not overcooked prices a bit up there. , buns were soggy, meat was chewy and a bit hard to swallow and digest fries were not seasoned they were little bit dry pretty good tacos look good tasted well. Had more meat than I expected. read more

The new hostess is horrible. She gave away my order, which mistakes happen. But then proceeds to fight in front of me with the other host about whose mistake it was. When she placed my order, I asked if my order had been placed with the food restrictions. She proceeded to toss me the order ticket and told me to check for myself. I have been going to this restaurant for years. I left my number so the manager could give me a call, no call as of yet. In addition, while waiting for my food, she would grab the tickets and cards from the customers, make no eye contact, and did not greet the client. One of the things that made this place great was the hospitality of the former owners. They seriously have to skill up this host's customer service skills. This all in front of a huge City of Covina best places to eat banner. Wow read more

First and last time visitors. Food was not good whatsoever and I actually became pretty Ill thirty minutes after I had dinner at this restaurant. I had severe stomach cramps for three hours and vowed to never return to this restaurant. Food was very bland and no taste, my chicken enchiladas were very dry and the beans appeared and had a taste of being overcooked. The fish soup had no taste and the fish was rubbery as though I could bounce it off the ground. My daughter took two bites from her cheeseburger and she was done. She did not like the thousand island-like sauce placed in the burger. Three meals, $65.00 plus a $9.00 tip as the waiter initially rushed us to order but as our visit went on, he actually ended up being a nice, hard-working man. This restaurant is a popular destination for many as it was crowded but as for my family and I, it was definitely a huge "never again" experience. read more
