Ray's Drive Inn is a must-visit in San Antonio! The puffy tacos are a standout - especially the carne guisada - flaky and packed with flavor. The crispy hotdogs wrapped in tortillas are a delicious surprise. Service was warm and fast, making for a delightful dining experience. I'll be back!

Ray's Drive Inn is a must-visit Tex-Mex gem in San Antonio! 🌮 The star of the show is undoubtedly the puffy tacos; I devoured the carne guisada, which was bursting with flavor! My friend loved the crispy cheese dogs wrapped in a tortilla – so unique and tasty!

The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, perfect for families or groups. Plus, the attentive service made our experience even better. We also enjoyed the spicy chips and salsa to start, but be warned - it packs a punch!

Can't wait to return next time I'm in town! 🎉🍹
