I arrived on a Saturday evening just before 6pm. They had a few tables, but they certainly didn’t appear rushed. Nice decor overall; looks like a Tex Mex restaurant. When I walked in it was a bit confusing. I had to walk up to the bar and ask where to be seated, “Sit wherever you like.” I was quickly brought a menu and I ordered. I got the combination platter #2 (Tamale and enchilada) with rice and refried beans.

I’ve been here a few times and each time I wished the food had more flavor. It was bland and did not even taste like Mexican food, which is disappointing for someone like me that loves Mexican food. The salsa needs some serious tweaking, as it has virtually no flavor and doesn’t have any sort of spice.I ordered the #27 Jared’s Special Plate. I couldn’t even tell what one of the meats was on the plate and the rice did not have any flavor. And, not to mention, I had to ask for the corn tortillas that were to come with it, because the owner, who ran our food, did not bring them. Also, the food was barely warm when it came out of the kitchen…

Do not recommend. I ordered “”Camarones a la diabla.””” Rice was dry. Beans were drippy. The shrimp was SUPPOSE to be spicy, not even a hint of it, you can tell it was tomato sauce. A “torta” was ordered and it looked like a subway sandwich. I asked for “aguas frescas” which is horchata or jamaica they didn’t have any. How does a “””mexican””” restaurant not have those?

Decent place. Salsa that comes with the chips is a very small serving. Ordered the 3 meat Fajita plate. More peppers & onions than meat. The flavor was good.

Ordered a chicken Torta, and after waiting close to 20 minutes, the waiter brings me out a 8″ long Vienna bread sandwich that looked more like a freaking submarine sandwich than a Torta.

I was at Ayda’s on Apr. 19 and this was my first time here. A friend of mine took me there for lunch. It was 11am so we where the first ones in the restaurant. We got or chip and salsa and my friend ask me to ask for a couple of small plates and some napkins. He responded back to me saying that I didn’t need any small plates because it’s just chips we where eating. Then my friend order tea so when she asked to bring her hot water it took the sever 10 minutes to bring that cup of hot water. It took 20 minutes to get a to go box. To top it all off I called later that day to explain to the owner what had happened. On Apr 19 at 12:28pm I got a call from the server from Ayda’s restaurant harassing me. If you call me again I will press charges on you.

We were Rensselaer for the day because of work and decided to stop here for lunch. I had the two ground beef Mexican taco plate. They were fantastic! Fresh and flavorful. Same goes for the chips and salsa. Add the great service and you have an easy 4 stars. If we ever find ourselves in Rensselaer again, I’m not going to bother to look for another place to try.

It’s absolutely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and still one that I compare all other chimichangas to. Highly recommend

What a letdown. It would have been nice to be seated where actual servers work. We had a busser take our order and bring the food and drinks out, and that was it. No check back on how the food was or asked if we would want another drink or dessert. He couldn’t be bothered to bring the check to the table either, evidently the manager put her cell phone down long enough to do his job, and when I tried to address this upon paying I was met with open hostility “well what do you want ME to do about it!” Asked to speak to the manager and was told he was out for the evening.

Good service and good food. They have a large room available for meetings, receptions, and parties. Quick stop for lunch – carry out or dine in.
