" A cozy little restaurant that captures the essence of home-cooked Mexican meals. The chili poblano was bursting with flavor, and the beans were some of the best I've had. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting. I appreciate how each dish feels thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. Definitely a place you want to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, but sadly the service took too long during my last visit. My table seemed to be neglected, which was a shame because I had high hopes. The nachos appetizer was a great start; I’ll give it that. Yet, the main course didn’t live up to the appetizer’s standards. I hope for better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rayos offers the best tacos in Calhoun! The flavors are authentic, and the ambience is perfect for a night out. The staff is welcoming and make you feel like family. I can't recommend their fish tacos enough—a hidden gem! It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to just to try everything on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rayos has quickly become my go-to spot for Mexican food! The enchiladas are authentic, and the shrimp tacos are my favorite. The atmosphere is laid back, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. They've also got a great outdoor seating area for warmer days. Highly recommend trying the green sauce! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good ole El Rayos, always a satisfying meal. The chicken tamales were the real highlight for me. It’s a simple place with a solid menu, and you can feel that the food is made with care. The staff is also genuinely friendly. You won’t regret stopping in! " (*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*)
