Ray Ray's
Worth the trip?
Absolutely.
Yes if breakfast tacos are calling; an easy yes if you're already in St. Helena.
Our Take
Austin-style breakfast tacos crash into Wine Country at this St. Helena favorite, with brisket, eggs, mashed potatoes and house-made salsas doing most of the talking. It's casual, fast and considerably more fun than another avocado toast.
Southwest breakfast-taco energy with just enough California influence to make it feel at home in Napa Valley.

We'd Send You Here If...
You don't need a production
You want somewhere useful, enjoyable and easy to work into the rest of the day.
Maybe Skip It If...
It doesn't fit the day you're building.
