La Raza Supermarket & Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Incredible. Great food and even better service. A lot of choices and the staff is very helpful.
Delicious Mexican food in Ohio!!!! Real authentic compared to other places. They even have a small market for Mexican goodies
They serve excellent authentic tasting Mexican. My hubby always orders chimichanga every time we got out for Mexican. So hundreds to compare
This restaurant is so Mexican that they have Spanish style tables and chairs and they don't even serve coffee unless you drink Nescafé I suggest trying them out for an authentic Mexican cuisine!
A hidden local gem of a place. I was a bit hesitant at first but boy my impression of the restaurant changed completely after tasting their food. The menu is huge and The food tasted amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful. The staff are polite and friendly but you might need to use translator on your phone. They also have a super market, where the produce was fresh. They have an awesome chili (peppers) collection. We got the Chimichanga (5/5) fried to perfection with a ton of flavor. The grilled chicken was very good as well but a tad bit dry (4/5). The tacos were the bomb, I got Barbacoa and Alpastor (5/5) both were amazing. The fried plantains were so delicious and I could see them taking a fresh plantain from the super market after we placed our order. The sauces were spicy, flavorful and complimented the dishes. The decor of the place might not be as modern but damn the flavors will send impress you. I highly recommend this local place and I would go again.
Took co-workers here and they loved it. Why one less star? It was super busy and the waitress forgot a lot of things... like our sauces. The food was also a little more overcooked than last time I was here. The flavor was there but meats were a little dry.
Ooooo my goodness best Torta I've ever had, beats many places that are authentic in the DC area where there are lots of genuine Mexican food. But La Raza just flew (and it's not even close) to the top of my list and yes it's in Dayton, OH. The carne asada meat in my Torta was an explosion of flavor, so good and tender, not an ounce of dryness at all. Then the price was amazing $5.99, in fact all of their prices are amazing, I don't think there was anything over $7.99, I've heard great things about their burrito too, that will be next on the list and the chimichanga sounded wonderful. They made my Torta the way I asked and were able to meet my requests, always thankful for that and the service was speedy and efficient. Finally to top it off the horchata was delicious and was of the highest horchata quality. La Raza you are amazing. Don't let the outside fool you, it's neat and tidy inside with about 6 or 7 tables and just loved everything I tried. Great service Great food Great price Nailed it La Raza, a 5 all around.
