" I recently tried Ayala's and was really looking forward to it after hearing some good things. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the authenticity of the dishes. The tacos tasted more like something I would expect from fast food, without real seasoning or that homemade feel. The service was polite but a little slow, and we had to wait too long for drinks to arrive. I think they have potential, but they really need to work on their recipes and cooking methods to give a more authentic feel. Not sure if I'll go back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited Ayala's for dinner last night, and I have to say, I was surprisingly impressed! The staff was friendly, and the environment was cozy. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, and they were seasoned perfectly, serving was prompt, and the portions were generous for the price. My partner enjoyed a margarita that she claimed was one of the best she has had around here. Although our kids' plates didn’t impress them too much, we would give it another shot for sure! Definitely a place worth considering for a casual family meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" For a fun night out, we wanted to try Ayala’s after seeing a deal on social media. Unfortunately, we were met with overwhelming disappointment. My friend’s burrito was cold and tasted like it came out of a microwave. Drinks were also underwhelming. On the plus side, the server was cheerful, and we didn’t wait too long between ordering and receiving our food. But when the food is this lackluster, who really cares about that? " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited Ayala's a few times, I can say that their food is inconsistent. I've tried different items, and while some are decent, others fall flat on presentation and taste. The service aside, which is usually friendly and helpful, really needs to step up on the quality of dishes. I've had good vibes from the restaurant itself, but the food needs to work hard to catch up. I hope they listen to feedback and aim towards achieving greater authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Ayala's last month and was not impressed. Right from the beginning, there were issues. We stood at the entrance for a while before being seated. The nachos we ordered were hardly worth the wait, lacking flavor and variety in toppings. The mocktails weren't any better, ultimately too sweet. While the service was friendly, it felt disorganized. I had high hopes but left feeling unsatisfied with my meal. It lacks the energy and taste I was looking for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Ayala's on a whim and was positively surprised. The atmosphere was warm, and they had exciting decor that drew my attention. I got the chicken enchiladas, and while I wouldn’t describe them as authentic, they were comforting and filled me up. The staff was lovely and checked in on us often, providing good service all through. If you're looking for a casual spot and aren't overly concerned with authenticity, it could be worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Ayala's Grill and Bar is a mixed bag. Some menu items are decent, but the more traditional dishes were lacking. I ordered enchiladas and they were dry, almost like they were prepared in the morning and kept for hours. The service was friendly, and I didn't feel rushed at all, but I was just disappointed with the food quality. I hear the steak fajitas are quite good so perhaps I’ll come back to try those. The ambiance is lively, which made the experience somewhat enjoyable despite the food issues. " (*Curated Review*)
