" Ayala's is one of my favorite spots for Mexican cuisine. I can't resist their shrimp fajitas! The flavors burst in your mouth, and they never seem to disappoint. The atmosphere is enjoyable, making it a perfect place for dining with family and friends. Staff is always welcoming, and the prices are manageable. Can't wait for my next visit!

" First time trying Ayala's, and I was impressed! The menu was extensive, and as someone who loves tacos, I tried their street tacos – delicious! The atmosphere was lovely, and our server was attentive. My only downside was the cheese dip's portion; I expected it to be more substantial for the price. Other than that, a solid experience all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best spot for Mexican food in the area! The quality never disappoints. I've been here several times, and the tacos al pastor are to die for! The staff is always friendly, and you can really tell they know how to make you feel at home. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is great for a casual night out! The ambiance is really inviting, and they offer an extensive menu that satisfies everyone. My friends and I ordered different items, and we shared everything. I was particularly impressed with the carne asada tacos - they were superb! The only downside was that some dishes arrived a tad too cold, but it didn’t mar the overall experience. I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in Lenoir City, Ayala's is a must-try! The food is consistently amazing, and their staff is always friendly. I particularly love their street tacos – you can’t go wrong! The restaurant has a great vibe, perfect for either lunch or dinner, and is very spacious. Only downside is that it gets pretty busy, so there might be a wait, but totally worth it!

" What an experience! The fajitas were sizzling and so full of fresh ingredients. Ayala's really nailed the portions; I almost couldn't finish. Love the vibe of the restaurant; it feels authentic yet modern. The server we had was superb – attentive without hovering. I highly recommend the enchiladas as well, they couldn't have been better. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my lunch here quite a bit! The chicken mole was rich and tasty, well-paired with rice. I also appreciated the speedy service, but I found the prices to be slightly on the high side for the portion was served. Still, the food quality was high, so I would recommend it, just be prepared for a larger bill! " (*Curated Review*)
