Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Ray Ray's Tacos for its innovative and delicious taco creations, coupled with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While many praise the freshness of ingredients and reasonable prices, some reviews mention that certain dishes, like enchiladas, could be improved. The "Angelina" tacos with pickled kumquats are a standout, and the staff are consistently noted for their friendliness and helpfulness.
"My go-to spot for a healthy, delicious take on salads, tacos and Ray-Ray's seasonal specials. From the origins of her taco booth at the Farmer's Market, the restaurant is a great addition to the core of St. Helena for us locals -- and a "can't miss" for those rolling through town. Get a taco kit to take home if you can't linger for a meal and chat with Rachel and her caring staff. True woman-owned, community-supporting start-up. Great cookies, too!"

"I ordered two different vegetarian tacos to go— so, clean and healthy. A whole new experience I felt like I was eating 5 star gourmet! Beautiful scrumptious morsels! I wish I lived closer I would be a regular. Yummmm! The waiter was a super nice guy."

"Ray Ray's Tacos is definitely worth checking out! The Angelina tacos were a standout—super flavorful and unique. They're a bit on the fancy side, with pickled kumquats adding a nice twist, but it worked! It’s an unexpected touch that really sets them apart. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are both professional and friendly. Plus, the best part? They accept cash, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend giving it a try!"
