I went to Taqueria La Raza to meet some colleagues for lunch. I had shrimp tacos that were delicious. The staff was very friendly and we did not feel rushed. I would definitely go back.

The server was absolutely wonderful they have a full bar. I ordered the fajitas and the meat was hard to chew. My friend got the steak and his was not so bad.

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...

Holy mother of god. Best chicken supreme burrito ever. The homemade tortilla was an added surprise. Highly recomend!
Food is really good but make sure you check your bill. They now charge $6 for the chips and salsa when they are free at other mexican joints. They also have a surcharge fee for using your card and they also add tip into the bill. Not really a fan of the nickel and diming system ill go somewhere where the salsa and chips are included.

The birria tacos here are the real deal! We got great service from our waiter too, even though they seemed really busy with take out. Prices are reasonable. The only complaint is the atmosphere, someone there was celebrating a party and there were a few drunken people being obnoxiously loud.Parking: Impossible to find street parking, and there aren't any other options around.

In my ongoing search for authentic Mexican food I lunched at Taqueria La Raza today. La Raza is absolutely the real deal, with the occasional Guatemalan twist. It's a surprisingly large restaurant, very clean, and comfortable; there is separate cantina area with a full bar seating and a large dining area with booths as well as long tables suitable for families. Lucretia was the server, cashier, and bartender. Of course I was there right after they opened mid-morning and was greeted warmly. Having reviewed the menu many times in advance I knew what I wanted to sample--their beans and rice, a pork tamale, and some tacos. Today they did not have either al pastor or tripas (tripe) tacos which were my first choices. No problem, my next choices were jalisco (goat) and lengua. I also ordered a medium Jamaica (hibiscus flower tea) and then took a booth seat. The Jamaica was delivered shortly thereafter. Since I was the first customer of the day, I waited for about 10 minutes for my food to be brought out. Everything was absolutely delicious. The beans were refried black beans (a nod to Guatemalan cuisine) were the most flavorful I have ever had. There is an ingredient in the beans which I can't quite place which elevated their flavor profile (may epazote). The Mexican rice was quite good without any of the vegetable additions you find at some places. The goat and tongue tacos, topped with white onion and cilantro and then I added a healthy amount of the salsa roja, were exquisite. The tongue was wonderfully soft, the goat had just a little bit of crispness to it from being heated on the hard top grille. So flavorful. Then there was the tamale wrapped not in corn husks but in a banana leaf (more Guatemalan influence). Wow, the corn was light fluffy, the chunks of pork inside tender and flavorful. I used the house salsa verde (which comes along with the salsa roja in a bottle) liberally to add another level of spice to the tamale. Having lived in southern California for some 38 years I came to know regional Mexican (and Salvadorian) cuisines quite well. This is by far the best tasting, most authentic tasting Mexican food I've had on the east coast. This was sort of a scouting meal for me to check the place out. Next time I will be returning with guests to explore other parts of the menu. La Raza is very convenient to the 195 which is a bonus in terms of convenient. Pro-tip: bring some quarters for the parking meters on Acushnet.

Food was mediocre at best. No tap water available only bottled water at $2 each. The gratuity was included in our bill which was not pleasing to us at all. We had a coupon but we won't be back, ever. We were the only ones in the restaurant and I can understand why, the place isn't great at all.
