About
El Rayo is a popular spot for a quick, casual meal, but it definitely leans more towards Americanized Mexican food. While many enjoy the fresh ingredients and the fun atmosphere, others find it overpriced and bland. It is a convenient stop, but don't expect a traditional, authentic experience.
