El Rayo Taqueria is a solid choice for tasty tacos and margaritas in a laid-back setting. The outdoor seating on the deck is a big plus, especially on nice weather days, making it perfect for summer drinks and food. The Pescado Carne Asada tacos and pulled pork rice bowl are highly recommended, with the Carne Asada being a standout. The beef is praised for its yummy consistency, and the food arrives quickly. The carnitas taco is delicious, and they have an impressive tequila selection. The quesadilla is also noted as very good. Many customers enjoy the tortillas, describing them as infatuating and perfect for crafted burritos, such as the sweet potato burrito. While the burrito felt like it was missing something for some, overall, the experience remains enjoyable. The restaurant is great for those with celiac, featuring a gluten-free fryer, making almost all options gluten-free except for the burritos and quesadillas. The margarita is awesome, and the shared grill makes cross-contamination easy to avoid. The staff is friendly and helpful, with one customer appreciating the quick service and the help finding an outlet for work. El Rayo Taqueria is a great spot for a casual meal with friends before a festival.
