Taqueria Los Rayos

Tried Los Rayos for the first time for lunch. Lucky me it's about 5 mins from the office. Went inside rather than using the drivethru, had to stretch the legs some. I ordered a Pastor taco and a chorizo taco. It seems like they might've been understaffed so I did have to wait longer for my food than I expecting. But the wait was worth it, the tacos I ordered were extremely delicious! Very glad I finally tried

I ordered on uber eats. The food arrived fresh! It was a great value and came pretty fast.The food:Milanesa torta- breaded steak sandwich, yes it's very good and I recommend it. I would get it again. Pretty big too.Chicken Nachos- loaded nachos, I would get again but not the chicken. It was tiny hard cubed pieces of chicken that didn't taste good. Chicken taco- didn't like the chicken but would get the tacos again. Also, I ordered the Birria tacos and they sent me chicken.. I assume they may have just been out of birria at the time, sad day! It's good food if you're hungry, gets the job done. My fav has been the torta so far!!

The owner is a very nice lady, very attentive & great customer service overall. The tacos are loaded with meat of your choice & are full of flavor. Now, I went today (Saturday) to try their menudo and honestly it was lacking flavor and I was not satisfied. I couldn't even finish it BUT I'm still giving them a 5 star.

You can find Taqueria Los Rayos at 3473 Clairmont Rd, Atlanta, GA 30319 where Clairmont crosses Buford Highway just south of the Deering crossing. This is a free-standing building that used to have some fast-food joint like a DQ or Del Taco and it still has the same basic footprint - parking is all along the edges and there's an unattached covered patio in part of the parking lot so you can eat outside. There's a remnant of a drive-through which appears to still be in operation.I've eaten here before, coincidentally on both occasions it was with my usual Buford Highway Restaurant Crawler group - this second time was much better than the first (the first time there was a rather unpleasant sewer backup going on and the smell was hard to get past). You order at the counter at Taqueria Los Rayos and then pick up the food as it comes up. On this Wednesday evening there was on person at the counter and one in back - otherwise it was empty. As with other local area Latino joints, this place caters to the many who live in the nearby apartments and can easily walk by. The food here is fairly authentic - very typical of what you might find in Mexico City or elsewhere in central Mexico. The tacos are double wrapped in corn tortillas and have a hefty serving. I had this meat plate - don't remember what it's called on the menu but it had beef, pork and bacon with sides. Good but a bit much for a single serving. Make sure you order a Mexican Coke with your meal - a bit of a given - you can thank me later.Service here is quite good if sparse - I think everyone enjoyed their food. The carne asada I tired was good if a bit dry. Note that there aren't really any vegetarian options - this is more of a taco dive.Also posted to my food blog

Well at least the veggies were good in my fajitas! I went on a slow night once and the food was edible but nothing fantastic. If you are okay with fajitas that you can make at home for two by throwing 5 to 6 shrimp on a grill for about 3 minutes and adding sautéed veggies to them, then this is your place! Don't forget your side of refried beans and rice and then you'll be all set! This was my experience and my experience ONLY! Yours may be different.

Some quality Mexican tacos that will have you wanting more! These aren't your Taco Bell tacos, no ma'am these are some authentic taco you will only find by going to places like this! They even have a drive thru so if you don't want to get out of your car because of covid then it's the perfect spot! Highly recommend!

Maybe it was just a bad night for them, but my food was genuinely terrible. My steak quesadilla was soggy, undercooked, and filled with flavorless but gristly meat. The cheese dip was 4$, but was thin and tasted almost watered down. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be ordering from this location again.

This stretch of Buford Highway offers numerous taquerias, and Los Rayos offers a fine selection of tacos that my fiance and I actually prefer over other, more popular restaurants such as El Rey Del Taco down the road. Despite the lack of a significant lunch crowd on a recent Saturday afternoon, my fiance and I tried this place out since they rank among the few shops that offer goat tacos. The cooks here spice the goat meat a little differently here than the more saucy preparations we have had at other taquerias, which makes for a robustly flavored bite. We additionally enjoyed the serviceable chorizo and tender-crisp tripe varieties. Tacos here arrive double wrapped in El Milagro corn tortillas which, while not housemade, do an admirable job of keeping things together and adding a pleasantly corny taste. We also appreciated the citrusy verde and smoky roja salsas on offer that added both piquancy and freshness to our tacos. Our cashier was sweet and humored our broken attempt to order in Spanish. Los Rayos offers makeshift patio seating with a few tables in the parking lot, and indoor seating is distanced with every other table blocked off. We wouldn't hesitate to return here for seriously solid tacos, and Los Rayos is a solid option to expand your taco horizons.
