    We came in just to grab coffee and unfortunately the coffee machine was down. So I got the old stand by, black coffee with cream!! It was a good brew. The appetizer list was not very extensive so because I was not very hungry that really limited my selection. My son did get a crepe and I got the esquitas! Very good!! It was really good for what we had and I would return for a regular meal

    We wanted to try this place as it is near our home. Beautiful interior design and they have live singing on a Friday night when we visited them. Despite the low Yelp rating, we still wanted to try them. I believe, taste is subjective. Ordered their Quesabirria, it was not the best that I've tried, but they were good! We like the crispiness of the shells and the beef was flavorful. We also got their Dela Casa Bowl with grilled chicken, vegetables, beans, rice, and avocado on top. I enjoyed this so much! I like the combination of all the ingredients and they were very filling. Definitely going back here when we are craving for fast Mexican food.

    This place recently went from counter to full service and I thought that it was a better experience that way. Our servers were sweet and helpful and the food just tastes fresh and flavorful. Opted for a cocktail this time and it was very good. Enjoyed a Raices and tried a Tamarindo Pacifico. Will definitely be back for more!

    Food is delicious Service is fast! The presentation speaks highly and reflects the pride they have in their dishes. Live music was playing, making the environment cozy.

    Good food and a good price especially if you order whatever is on special that day! I came on a Tuesday and ordered the tacos. Each taco was delicious but my favorite was actually the Revolucion taco it was very basic ingredients but boy was it tasty! I did add peppers from the salsa bar to the taco to elevate it even more! I also ordered the Reyand the Raices taco which were also both delicious! The waiter helped me decide on rice as a side which was a great choice!

    Our waiter was super slow and forgot every single thing we asked him for... from menus, to refills, to check... food was good overall. Inside and outside seating available. Will come back to try their breakfast crepes.

    We were impressed with Raices when we first visited last year, but they recently closed, remodeled a bit, and upgraded the menu extensively. And UPGRADE is the the word here. We dropped in for lunch today, and were impressed. It was good before, but now has kicked it up a couple of notches. A much more extensive and interesting menu that includes their usual mex dishes but now includes more breakfast - omelets, pancakes, waffles, eggs PLUS sandwiches (Cubano, Reuben, etc)) and Crepes! Plus a serious flight of coffee drinks that are creative and exceptional. We ordered Carnitas Crepes (salsa verde, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, and avocado) and the Reuben sandwich (multi grain toast with beef pastrami, grilled cabbage, dijon mustard, and parmesan truffle fries / side of thousand island). As usual, their chef puts out high quality food and we were not disappointed. But the star of the show today was the Spanish Shaken Ice Latte (condensed milk, double espresso, shaken and topped with whole milk). I love coffee, and this drink had me sighing with pleasure after every sip. Killer.

    The food here is UNMATCHED and delicious. It's seasoned with the Latin flare. The food is plated well. There is a chef here that is doing their job. The bowl de la pollo was FORK-LICKING good. I paired it with a green salsa (somewhat spicy) to just give me an extra flavor. The rice in the bowl was well cooked and FLAVORED. The chicken was tender, and the salad/garnishment was fresh and crispy. Just a SUPERB job. My low rating is due to logistics. It's not understood that this place is cafeteria-like dining. So my friend and I sat down WAITING for service. Unbeknownst to us we were to go to the cashier to place an order. Also, with the place being new, the LACK OF CARE placed on utensils, the salsa bar, the menu, the glassware for bar drinks, and staff is noticeable. It made for a LACKLUSTER experience and kinda ruined our girls night. I ordered a guava-rita expecting a bar glass with fancy bar dressings. it came in a REGULAR drink cup. Furthermore, you have to clean your area when you get up (this was the only thing explained to us mid-meal). I'm not sure why I gave them a tip.

    I recently had the opportunity to try Raices. They are a new fast-casual Mexican restaurant in Bartram and they had me at quesabirria tacos. For starters I got a spicy guava margarita that was incredible and we tried several items from the menu including quesabirria tacos, Tlayudas Oaxaquenas (Mexican pizza), flautas, chicharrones, and frozen margaritas! Everything was tasty. From the same family behind Peppers Cocina, Raices means 'roots,' and you can taste the love & tradition in every bite. The decor is really beautiful as well! Next time you want a good taco and margarita, try them!

    First of all, the restaurant is about 20 miles from home. I was happy to arrive when I did. I assumed they were open until 9pm or later. I believe they close at 8:30 pm. We ordered a shrimp taco, shrimp bowl, chicken quesadilla, chips /salsa, queso, and fountain drinks. The food came out to us as soon as it was ready, I liked that. I loved the dishes. The food was good, plentiful, fresh and delicious. The shrimp taco was a little bit juicy and messy. Everything else was top notch. The atmosphere was great. The restaurant was immaculately clean. I loved the decor, especially the lamp/shades. I believe they came straight from Mexico. I am a lamp freak, so those really caught my eye. I love the tables and chairs. Very comfortable. They have outdoor dining as well. The young lady that took our order, let me sample the cinnamon horchata. It was good. Pros: everything! Parking was plentiful as well. They do have a bar. Cons: shrimp taco was a little bit juicy. Hard to eat. Recommend? YES, I see Raices being a successful restaurant.

    Located in the Shoppes at Bartram Park (13820 Old St. Augustine Rd, Jacksonville, FL), Raíces has recently opened its doors, taking over the former Tijuana Flats location. The renovation is tastefully done--clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for a casual dining experience. Upon entering, the ordering process is typical of fast-casual restaurants: place your order at the counter using overhead menu displays. However, the initial interaction with the staff left something to be desired. There was no greeting or warm welcome. I had to initiate the exchange by asking for a moment to review the menu. While the young team members were polite, their demeanor lacked the enthusiasm one might expect from a newly opened restaurant eager to make a strong first impression. Frankly, the experience felt more like interacting with a kiosk than with people excited about their food and brand. The menu itself is quite limited and, in my opinion, somewhat overpriced for what's offered. We ordered burritos, which were generously sized but arrived solo on the plate--no sides, garnishes, or flair. Unfortunately, the food was served barely warm, with some areas noticeably cool. The burrito's filling included corn, carrots, and cabbage--ingredients more in line with a fusion concept than traditional or Tex-Mex fare. While not completely dry, the burrito lacked the moisture and flavor I had hoped for. A splash of tomatillo sauce did help improve the taste, but it wasn't enough to elevate the dish overall. A staff member did stop by to ask how the burritos were, which I appreciated. However, I chose not to share detailed feedback, having already decided this wouldn't be a place I'd return to. Like many counter-service establishments, Raíces asks for a tip during checkout, even though customers order at the counter, collect their own drinks, and bus their own tables. What stood out was the inconsistency: the Credit/debit card system prompted tipping options starting at 15%, but the printed receipt showed suggested amounts ranging from 2% to 7%. If tips are encouraged, aligning those suggestions would at least help set clearer expectations. In short, while I was hopeful that Raíces could become a go-to spot close to home, the overall experience--from food quality to service style--fell short. With some adjustments in both the kitchen and front-of-house approach, there's potential here, but for now, it's a one-and-done visit for me.

Man, it was one of the best decisions I've made on the road lately! The food came out hot and fresh with that real homemade taste. The tacos were packed with flavor, the rice and beans were on point, and the portions were generous enough to fill up a hungry driver without breaking the bank. I went with the carne asada and it hit the spot perfectly - seasoned just right, not too greasy, and cooked tender. Service was quick and friendly, even when they were busy. The place has that classic hole-in-the-wall vibe (in the best way), nothing fancy but clean and welcoming. It felt like the kind of authentic spot locals would keep coming back to. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the parking can be a little tight for a big rig if you're not careful, and they don't have a ton of truck-friendly seating space. But the food more than makes up for it. If you're rolling through the area and craving real Mexican food, definitely stop in. I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood. ¡Muy bueno! -- Carlos, SemiTruckDriver

Service at the bar was great. Food arrived faster than expected, but I had also got there as their night was winding down. My friends and I were originally going to eat here for Cinco de Mayo, but when I got there at 6:45, I was told it would be a 3.5 hour wait. They had a DJ outside pumping out fast and upbeat music for the party and an outside margarita stand for grab and go drinks. When I arrived back just after 9, I had told them to take us off the list. She informed me that they tried calling me. Nothing came through on my phone, but she did show her call log and sure enough, it showed they called me around 8:20. My friends and I probably would have stayed to eat here originally had we been given a more realistic wait time guesstimate. An hour and a half wait vs 3.5 hours is much more feasible. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. I've always enjoyed Anejo.

The floors were sticky and our shoes stuck to the floor. The women's restroom was out of order. The kiosks seem like a good idea but nobody there to ask questions or to get your drinks. If you can catch one of the two people working as they bring out orders you are lucky. The menus on the kiosks are pretty informative though and tell the ingredients for each item. Kiosk automatically adds 20% tip unless you change it. Considering you don't have any interaction with employees until they bring out your order other tipping options might apply. They cook to order which is nice except you don't get your drinks or your appetizers until it's your turn. There is a comment section to type no tomatoes or special instructions. Mine still came out with tomatoes but they promptly remade it for me. The food is pretty good. No complaints there other than having to remake one of my tacos. The chips and queso was pretty good. Chips were dusted with spices and served hot. We tried 6 different tacos and they were all very good. The tortillas were toasted on the grill which makes a big difference. You can get flour or corn tortillas. The chicken and steak were marinated before grilling and were big cubes and plentiful. The menu has a pretty big variety including a kids menu with chicken and fries. The last comment is their fountain machine for drinks. The coke tasted off. They may need to recalibrate it. Drinks are served in small clear throw away cups and the lids don't fit very well. Refills are hard to get. You have to wait for someone to come out of the back.
