Ray’s has been a classic staple in Tex-Mex history for 60 years — and there’s definitely a reason folks are flocking to try them. They are proudly known as the “Inventor of the Puffy Taco” and thanks to a delicious accident by Great-Grandma Lopez, the beautifully fluffy puffy taco was born. Cruise on up to this drive-inn for a miraculous taco experience.
Henry, Ray’s brother, worked at Ray’s while growing up, learning the taco-making ways of the Lopez family. He eventually opened his own taco shop with a secret recipe and a take on the puffy taco all his own. And the result is a masterpiece of light, airy taco perfection that is somehow both soft and fluffy, yet delightfully crunchy at the same time. Be sure to say “Hello” to the world’s first Puffy Taco mascot while you’re there!
When we started Day Trippin’ Texas back in 2007, it was just four people and some gear crammed in a car with nothing but the open road and a dream in front of us.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve grown into a nationwide, Emmy-award-winning television show with some of the best fans and viewers in the world. It seems folks love Texas as much as we do, and it’s a privilege sharing it with y’all.
