" Unfortunately, my experience at Ay Caray Taqueria was not great. The food was quite bland, and I wasn't impressed with the service either. They seemed overwhelmed even though it wasn't busy. For the prices, I'd expect much better quality. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t stop thinking about their chile relleno! It was so delicious - cheesy, flavorful, just the way I like it. The friendly staff made my experience even more delightful. While the location is small, it adds to the charm. I’m already planning my next visit for more deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" The burrito I had was one of the best I've ever enjoyed! It was gigantic and filled with fresh ingredients. I felt like I was eating the essence of Mexico. This place truly delivers on authentic flavor. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently visited Ay Caray and had the veggie burrito, which was good but nothing extraordinary. While I appreciate the efforts to cater to vegetarians, it felt like it lacked the punch of flavor I was hoping for. Other than that, the environment was welcoming and clean. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Ay Caray based on word-of-mouth, and I was not disappointed! The flavors were fantastic, and the prices are reasonable. I left feeling satisfied and happy. The staff were kind and attentive too. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just hate it when I walk into a taqueria and the food looks better than it tastes. I hoped for better from Ay Caray. My veggie burrito was just okay, and I could have used more seasoning. However, I loved the horchata! The ambiance is nice, and they played good music. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an amazing find! I stopped in on a Saturday and ordered their special langua tacos. They were packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the tortillas were clearly fresh. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively. I've already planned my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
