Ray's Drive Inn - San Antonio

Fantastic puffy tacos. I'm trying to make them at home since I don't live in San Antonio and of course I fall short. Update 1-2-2024 I brought my kids here while traveling and wanted to show them the original puffy tacos I was trying to copy all these years. Well I guess my memory was all roses and not reality about Ray's because the whole family likes my puffy tacos better and they are quite a bit better than Ray's. I was shocked. At $5 per taco after you add cheese, tax, and tip it was over $50 for 4 people for just tacos? Still yummy, not as yummy as I remembered, and grossly overpriced.

When I was preparing our trip here this was soo recommended that I was very excited to come. The service was great. Everyone serving there greeted us with a smile, and the puffy tacos where very delicious I got chicken and fajita puffy taco very good, my husband got the steak plate was very good and tasty. Was very interesting to see the old and antique unique things around the restaurant. Is a most stop in your visit to San Antonio tx.

This place was really fun to try puffy tacos. The service was so friendly. We got a bunch of different puffy tacos to try and that was a lot of fun. I personally probably wouldn’t get the lettuce and tomatoes again, because I think the meats almost by themselves would be better. The tortillas were flaky and greasy and full of flavor and texture. We also got the crispy hotdogs which were fun to try. We were able to sit outside by ordering to go. beware, the salsa is extremely spicy.

Very welcoming, i would definitely go again if im in thay area.

We were looking to get our San Antonio puffy taco fix satisfied and figured we’d try the original. Excellent choice! Had a beef and a carne guisada and both were delicious fully loaded and wonderful crispiness to the shells. But more than that the entire vibe of the place was awesome full of old thyme random knickknacks. Loved it!
