" I recently visited Ayda's and it was a mixed bag. The ambiance was nice but the food left much to be desired. I got the chimichanga expecting a crispy treat but instead received a soggy mess that tasted very bland. The salsa was more like tomato sauce, absolutely no kick to it. Service was decent; we were seated right away, but I wish the staff had been more engaging. I might try a different dish next time, but overall not the best experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my kids to Ayda's and we had fun! The place was bright and inviting, with colorful decor everywhere. The staff welcomed us warmly, and the service was prompt. However, the food was hit or miss; the kids enjoyed their cheese quesadillas, but my carne asada was overcooked and tough. I appreciated the free chips and salsa, but my meal overall felt lacking. I might try again, but I hope for better results next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ayda's was delightful! I went with a group of friends, and we shared several dishes. The table definitely enjoyed the shrimp tacos and birria, both were fantastic! The ambiance was great for group dining; vibrant but not overwhelmingly loud. Service was decent, although it did take a little longer for our drinks to arrive. Overall, a solid meal that I would happily repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" My son and I wanted a quick bite, so we decided to try Ayda's. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but that is where the positives end. The food was uninspired, and my son's chicken strips tasted freezer-burnt. I will not return; there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants that offer better authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Ayda's based on reviews but ended up feeling disappointed. The rice and beans were dry, and I could barely taste the chicken in my burrito. It felt more like a fast-food experience than what should be a sit-down meal. On the plus side, the decoration made the place feel inviting, but ultimately, the food needs a serious upgrade.

" What a charming little place! My friends and I decided to stop by Ayda's for a quick lunch break while on a road trip. The chips and salsa they brought to the table were fresh and delicious—definitely a good start. I ordered the fajitas and they were full of flavor, with tender veggies and well-seasoned chicken. Service was quick and friendly; our waitress checked on us regularly. Prices are reasonable too. Overall, a delightful experience that has me wanting to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Ayda's with my partner last weekend and had a great time! The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a date night. I ordered the steak fajitas, which arrived sizzling and looking fantastic. They were flavorful, and I enjoyed that they included plenty of peppers and onions. Service was smooth; our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. We left feeling satisfied and planning our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
