Ray's — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It’s not often that I take time to write a review. If I am taking time out of my day to leave one, it was either amazing or so bad that no one should ever experience what I did.

This place is absolutely awesome. It is a local gem. The owner, Ray, is a super nice guy that works with his team, each and every day. They make great food at affordable prices.

Rays, side street burger joint. Let's begin!

Pros: grilled bun, thick burger, extra grilled jalepeno on the side, grilled onions on request, fresh veggies on the burger, bacon thick and real and finally, each bite crutched with the sounds of the gods

Cons: parking and seating is limited.

Now for the price. When I saw I was paying 11.75 for a Bacon cheese burger, I felt jipped a little. This is because I was expecting a flat patty, salty overcooked bacon on a small bun with soggy veggies. I was already bitter before I got my burger,but how wrong was i. They cooked it so good, by the time I was finished eating it, I was high-fiving myself in the car.
