" Great staff, but the menu items need a lot of work. My grilled chicken was so bland I couldn't finish it. The salsa that came with it was flavorless as well. I loved the layout of the restaurant and how clean everything was, but without better food, I'm not likely to return soon. They really need to focus on their seasoning. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Mexican food enthusiast, I had high expectations for Ayala's. Unfortunately, the enchiladas were covered in a sauce that tasted like it came from a can. I was also shocked at the small size of the portions for the prices they charge. The atmosphere was friendly, but it's primarily about the food for me. I can't see myself coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't recommend Ayala's, mainly due to the food quality. We ordered a mixed grill, and while the presentation was nice, the flavors were very bland. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during our visit, which did not aid our dining experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, but it didn’t compensate for the mediocre food. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I liked the friendly vibe, the food did not live up to its name. I ordered the mole, and it tasted more like a bland sauce without any flavor depth. The portions were fair, but they definitely could use more seasoning overall. It was nice to have a cozy environment, but again, the food needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Ayala's and left feeling quite underwhelmed. While the place was clean, it lacked the authentic Mexican vibes I was hoping for. My salsa tasted like it came straight from a jar, and my burrito was mostly rice with hardly any meat. I’ve had better meals at chain restaurants. I won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a positive experience with my visit here! The food was decent, with some standout dishes, like the fajitas. They were quite flavorful! Service was very prompt, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. Although I wouldn't say it's 100% authentic, it’s still a good option for a casual dining night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Caught up with friends at Ayala's on a lively Friday night. The atmosphere was energetic, but the food didn't do it for me. I ordered the carne asada and was surprised that it didn't have much seasoning. The guacamole was fresh but overshadowed by the overall blandness of the dish. Nice staff though! " (*Curated Review*)
