Customer Reviews

We eat there regularly and have known the owners since they had another place. Food is consistently good, whether it's a quesadilla, burritos, enchiladas, carnitas or anything else. My favorite is the carnitas platter but I like variety too. Food is fresh. Dishes taste the same every time. Drinks are good too. My wife loves their frozen mango marguerita. The Servers are attentive and anxious to help and the owners are on the floor themselves every day. Occasionally, there's a communication issue but not often. Everyone tries to get you the best version of the dish you want. Prices are fair for lunch and dinner. Lunch portions are smaller and better value. We often wind up taking carry out boxes home from dinner. Ayala's is new and the rooms are bright and clean. Can't ask for much more.

The Ayala's special is delicious as is the El volcanito. Steak had quite a bit of fat on it which I personally do not like but the pieces of the steak that I did eat were good. The shrimp tasted amazing. Guacamole salad was great as well. Staff is super friendly and attentive! I will say the restaurant definitely needs better lighting though.

We had an excellent experience at this Mexican restaurant; the food was fantastic! Truly delicious! I enjoyed a taco, and my husband had a quesadilla, both of which had authentic flavors. I also ordered a Margarita, and the price was very reasonable given the large size. Definitely an amazing spot.

This is the first time i have been here but certainly not the last. There is adequate parking, access is easy and the place is clean and fresh when you walk in. The menu is extensive and everything looked very good as it was served. I chose the Miami Loca, a dish with chicken and shrimp served in half a pineapple with beans, salad etc on the side and tortillas. Beers are served in an ice cold glass and all in all it was one of the best Mexican restaurant meals I have had. I would certainly recommend this place.
