“This place rocks and I had the best $11 lunch. The puffy avo and shrimp tacos are my favorite. I went early and it wasn’t busy so I was able to get a little solo work lunch in and the server Luis was SO nice and welcoming. I also didn’t realize the have a kids changing table in the bathroom and most places in Portland aren’t kid friendly so I think I’ll come back with my kids soon because I’m already hungry for another taco and a happy upbeat welcoming atmosphere.“

“10/10!!! My husband & I had to take the 1.5 hour drive to Portland for an appoinment. We came across this wonderful place while searching for a delicious lunch. Wonderful, superb authentic food! we tried the house made jalepeno poppers (ginormous & fresh) to start. Husband had the pork chimichanga (pork cooked to perfection) & I had to try the fried green tomato tacos. Blown away by all the flavors! Abby was our awesome server who served up a wonderfully funny sense of humor! Be careful though, she BITES!!! 😂“

We had the perfect snacks to go with it - salsas and tostados and some fish tacos. The staff were warm and friendly. Would recommend!“

“Great atmosphere, service and food. The Birria grilled cheese was delicious along with the crispy fingerling potatoes. Food was well portioned and filling. Special mention to their chocolate tres leches cake - it was different and very tasty.
Highly recommend if you are in the Portland area.“

“It’s my dad’s and my go-to lunch spot, especially after Sunday morning church. Since he can’t hear from his left ear due to surgery, noisy places are hard for him to tolerate. El Rayo is perfect because it has a calm, comfortable atmosphere.“

“Nothing but good food and good vibes“

“The best tacos around! Carne asada and pastor, sooo dang delicious!“

“We ordered catering from Taco Trio for our wedding reception and could not have been more happy with the food! We ordered food for around 75 people, and the portions we got were bigger than we expected, so running out of food was no longer a concern! The tacos were filled, the guacamole was fresh, and the food overall was delicious! The staff was wonderful throughout the process from ordering the food to helping bring it out the car at pick-up. We do not live locally, but will 100% eat here again when we're in the Portland area.“

“Good survive and good food“

“Friendly staff. great bar activities such as billiards and darts. A good beer selection. Hmm, I was expecting a big mexican restaurant, but it's really a small bar with a small menu. I had the birria tacos and they were excellent. I would recommend this place for some tacos and some beers and a game of pool after work would be great“
