There's not a lot of good cocktail bars in this neighborhood but Raizes is a bright spot. The cocktails are delicious and affordable with great value food. I really enjoyed the Diablo cocktail and the tacos are delicious and a good portion sized for the price. Highly recommend a stop in!!?

We love Raizes! The staff is phenomenal and the food is great! Hank is amazing. He whips up truly the best margarita. They have a wide variety of hand crafted drinks. The perfect spot for an after work drink or weekend meet up with friends.

The tacos and guac are delicious. Loved the taco selection with unique pairings. The drunk menu is robust and my jalapeno marg was beyond amazing. The setting is a bit too dark for my liking so hopefully they lighten it up a bit.

We finally popped in after passing by a few times, and we’re definitely glad we did! Drinks are great - the classic margarita is spot-on. The tacos are elevated too, definitely better than your standard northside taqueria. Luis is awesome and makes sure the vibes are right when you’re at his bar.

Awesome and unique atmosphere. Chips and salsa were high quality. Loved the fish and shrimp tacos, and the cocktails were lovely. The owners are personable, down to earth, and dedicated.
