After all of its preparatory time you’d think that the new iteration of El Rayo, which opened on Free Street earlier this week, would have managed to include dinner service in its debut. Instead, for now, it’s breakfast and lunch only, as though we all want a burrito to start our day. I have an open mind about the new restaurant (it looks great inside), but I never considered it much of a contender in the Mexican cuisine category beyond the Americanization of its menu serving ersatz south-of-the border grub.
For now, then, I’m offering a multi-review of Portland eateries since there’s nothing that compelling to write about in the new and novel category. In fact, I had an interesting mix of dishes all week, including breakfast, lunch and dinner.
