“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!!?”

“Amazing tacos and fun drinks! Will be one of my new go to spots.”

“One of the best margaritas I've ever had. The bartenders were phenomenal and created a great atmosphere.”
“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.”
“A little slow which I can’t see why. Great cocktails and food”
“Such a great spot. Delicious $10 margaritas, and creative tacos. Highly recommended”
“Great neighbord spot. Fantastic cocktails, great service.”
“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.”
