The chicken bowl was good but nothing outstanding. The atmosphere is great, the bar looks very nice. I got my food to go, it was as quick and hot.

Went in before an event at cross insurance arena. They were very busy! But food came fast, and was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. My cocktail was very good. Was no seating at first, but shortly before food was ready, we got seats at the bar top.

Here’s a before and after of the amazing “Fiesta Salad” I completely destroyed. My only notes would be to have non disposable cups at the water station, but that’s it! I love that many restaurants have water stations like that these days. The service worker at the counter was very sweet to me and she helped me find an outlet for me to plug my laptop into so I could get some work done.

El Rayo’s barbacoa burrito. Awesome flavors. Their yucca fries with chimichurri dipping sauce was also delicious.
Hubby got their chicken quesadilla, stepson also got the barbacoa burrito and his girlfriend got the carnitas burrito. Each meal came with tortilla chips and salsa.
They ask you if you need a menu then when you’re ready to order, you place your order and pay.
Service was friendly. Food was ready in less than 10 minutes.
We each got a drink so our tab was almost $90 for 4 meals and one appetizer.

Visited this place for the first time today and I was blown away by the vibe in the restaurant, the service, and the food. I don’t indulge in Mexican cuisine that often but I was shocked by how delicious the food was. All of the flavors in the dishes that I ordered complimented each other, the spices were very pleasant, especially on a chilly rainy day. I ordered the Barbacoa beef specialty bean and rice bowl, loaded tot nachos, and the chicken tortilla soup. With every bite that I took I felt like I had fireworks go off in my mouth. Additionally the portions are perfect and fit the prices. I would say a solid 10/10, would recommend if you’re looking for a place with vibrant colors, flavors, and great service.

Had not visited in a while and happy we did.onday night 8.95 burritos from the classic burrito menu is a welcome break from the high prices of dining out. Even if you don’t rock a burrito the menu is expansive and well executed and tasty

Excellent food and service. I had the Classic Avocado Bowl. All of the ingredients were fresh, and the fried avocado was a nice touch. There was a happy hour special on the day I went (Wednesday), and the bowl was discounted. The hibiscus drink was very light and refreshing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this Mexican restaurant. The menu is extensive, featuring a long list of daily specials. Upon entering, you place your order at the counter, and there’s seating available at both the bar and tables. We chose seats at the bar, where the bartender was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although we encountered a minor setback with the fried yucca balls being cold on the inside (leading to the 4 ⭐️ rating), the overall experience was great. We also tried the fried chicken quesadilla, which came in a generous portion. The grilled steak quesadilla, though much smaller, was equally delightful. Both were accompanied by chips and pico de gallo salsa. We highly recommend trying the chimichurri aioli – a perfect complement to the quesadilla. Despite the minor hiccup, we look forward to returning to explore more items on the menu!

Terrific foods, great service! A+ Plus the arcade game is fun for kids while waiting for food to be ready. Great value on Mon-Thurs evenings with specials.
