" Not the best experience here recently. The food was okay, but the service was slow. I noticed my table waited a long time for everything, including drink refills. The staff was polite, but they just seemed overwhelmed. I love the vibe of the place, just needs to improve on service speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little find! The outdoor seating area is an asset, especially on nice days. The service was friendly and quick, and the food was not only tasty but felt very authentic. Each dish reminded me of my family's recipes. I appreciated the little details, like fresh ingredients and spices. I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing great things about El Rayos, and I finally decided to check it out. The atmosphere has a rustic charm that pairs well with the delicious food. I got the Pollo Loco, which was tender and flavorsome with a homemade taste. The service was really speedy, and I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the meals. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" So close to home, yet so far in taste! I traveled extensively in Mexico, and I can confidently say that El Rayos offers some of the most genuine flavors outside of the country. The tacos al pastor were incredible, and the combination of spices was just right. The atmosphere feels welcoming, and the service was attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience. The food was good, but the service was lacking during my visit. The waiter seemed overwhelmed, which caused delays in serving our drinks. The tacos were tasty but a little too small. I hope my next visit will be more seamless so I can enjoy the food without the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last time I came here, I was in search of a hearty meal, and boy did El Rayos deliver! The nachos were covered in cheese, and I love that they allow substitutions on the platters. We had a large family dinner, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot! The ambiance feels like you're dining at a friend's house. The decor is simple yet warm, and the servers make you feel special. I tried the margarita and was blown away by how good it was. The chips and salsa were a great accompaniment as well. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
