What is Smooth Ray’s? It’s that perfect taco stand you hope to find on any beach trip.
Many years ago, somewhere in Ecudaor, friends took Smooth Ray to a little spot where the fish came in on small boats and the catch was immediately turned into tacos and ceviches, with fresh salsas and light beer served out of coolers of ice. It was heaven.
Fewer years ago, Smooth Ray cooked Sunday brunch in a tiny dive bar in upstate New York. It started out with a small menu but eventually shrunk to just one item: breafast burritos. That place was heaven, too.
Do you know the effervescent pleasure of a $1 beer? Or the light, sweet balance of a coconut-banana smoothie? The secret is extra lime.
Sit in the sand and eat simple fish tacos, walking back over and over to order just one more.
Sunrise on the beach, wouldn’t it be great if that taco shack was open? Of course it isn’t … it is? Serendipity. Breakfast burritos, hot sauce and coffee.
That’s Smooth Ray’s.
One day.
