Family-owned. Flavor-filled. Rooted in tradition

Ayala’s Mexican Café began in 1998 as Hempstead’s very first taco truck, proudly named Ayala’s Taqueria after our family name. What started as a small food truck built on big dreams has grown into a beloved local café — still owned and operated by the Ayala family.

We’ve always believed that food is more than a meal — it’s a connection to culture, community, and home. That’s why we serve every plate with the same care and love we would offer our own family.

Our breakfast menu blends traditional Mexican flavors with American classics, while our lunch offerings feature homemade tortillas, authentic Tex-Mex favorites, and time-honored recipes passed down through generations.

From the moment you walk in, we hope you feel the warmth of our kitchen, our culture, and our commitment to making your experience memorable.

Thank you for being part of our story.
