“ Authentic Mexican Food. Everything was served hot and fresh. Will be coming back. Good portion size. ”
“ Good food! Service was decent. Place was fun. Got the carnitas burrito. Spicy sauce was great. ”
“ This was my first time trying La Raza and I can't wait to go back! I got the chicken birria tacos (not on the menu) and it was probably one of the best I've had. Full of meat, cheesy, and the consommé was so good! Service was also great, very friendly. Clean inside too. Wish I got a pic... ”
“ While in the area doing work for a client, I decided to visit a local climbing gym and then wanted to grab a late lunch before hitting the road. It was almost 4 o'clock when I stopped in looking for something quick to go. The staff that greeted me and welcomed me over to the bar were unbelievably friendly. After a quick glance over the menu I decided on three chicken tacos with added tomatoes. Maybe five minutes later my food was ready and I was out the door with a to-go container that I could hardly wait to open. They made sure to include extra napkins and when I asked for some hot sauce they gave me two of the most delicious sauces I've had. The red one was great on the chicken tacos and provided a nice amount of heat and some smokiness. The tortillas were perfectly cooked and fresh and so was everything that came inside of them. I'm really happy that I stopped in here and will definitely return the next time I'm in town. ”
“ I have very mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, it is by far the best tasting Mexican food in SE Massachusetts. On the other hand, it was the worst service I have had in recent memory. We started by asking for 2 margaritas and 2 waters. The margaritas were very good. The two glasses of water had no ice and were room temperature. When we got the bill at the end of the meal, we were billed for 2 bottled waters at $1.50 each. I'm guessing that we were not supposed to be billed for the water, but the inexperience and lack of English by the waitress likely caused the error. I paid the bill without comment. There were no chips given or offered. To best describe the ability of the waitress, imagine that you took an 18 year old who had grown up in another country, had never been an employee or patron in a restaurant, given her no training, and left her there on her own as the only server in the place. Each time anyone wanted to order anything, she had to go back to the bar to get her order book. I watched her make 5 separate trips to deliver food to the table next to ours when any normal waitress would have done it in 2 trips. After we finished eating, it took another 20 minutes to pay the bill and get out. Be aware that the tip was included on the bill. The restaurant is not in a great part of town, but I did not feel unsafe. My wife was a bit uneasy walking back to the car. Despite the service, I will likely go back because the food was so good. ”
