I popped in here and the whole vibe immediately won me over. The place is super nice and cozy, making it the perfect versatile spot whether you're trying to squeeze in a quick, delicious weekend brunch or looking for a cute, intimate dinner date atmosphere. First off, let's talk about the drinks: phenomenal and incredibly generous. They do not skimp here! When it came to the table, the presentation was gorgeous. They plate the food really beautifully, and almost every single thing we ordered was a total hit. The flavors were spot on across the board. The ONLY major miss of the night was the ceviche. Honestly, it just didn't hit the mark and it's the one plate I would actively recommend skipping. Grab one of their other dishes instead, you'll thank me later. What truly elevated the entire experience from good to elite was our waitress. She was absolute perfection! Attentive, warm, and just all-around phenomenal. She took such good care of us and really made the meal special. Ooh forgot to mention they have a spicy salsa that's made everything just come all together read more

The food was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a food snob and not easily impressed--but I was genuinely impressed! We were enjoying ourselves so much that at one point we actually shouted, "Hallelujah!" and thanked God for such an amazing meal. The menu is fantastic, with such a delicious variety that choosing what to order was almost impossible. I'm already looking forward to making the drive from Palm Springs to Rancho Cucamonga again. Wonderful food, wonderful hospitality, and an experience worth the drive. Five stars without hesitation! read more

Was surprised it wasn't busy at 1pm on a Saturday Came with my husband and a friend for lunch. Service was okay---mashed potato's came out later than most of our dishes and wasn't hot Oysters were delicious and FILLING--fun flavors and textures. I had the taco trio and they were nicely sized and tasteful! I found this place while passing through--it shares a parking lot with a hotel so it may be easy to pass (literally) or think it isn't worth stopping by. Find it and stop by! read more

This place was very good. My girlfriend got the shrimp ceviche which tasted very fresh. I ate the mixed fajitas which were very good. The homemade guac was fresh and the crispy pork belly was a nice touch. The drinks tasted good. Most of all, love the salsa bar that they have. The spicy guacamole and mango habanero salsa are two items to grab from the bar. Customer service was excellent and recommend to come to this spot! read more

A really great food experience ruined by the waiter. The food was really great and salsa selection was amazing but when the waiter answers their own 25% tip, it can turn sour. I had to ask for an itemized receipt in order to figure out why my bill was so high and blamed it on their system. Management was able to sort things out. Hopefully they aren't encouraging this type of environment and the waiter gets proper training. Hopefully they can change. I wish I could recommend this place but when they play with your money, I simply cannot. read more

I had the Leche de Tigre Ceviche and Ribeye tacos and they were THE best tacos I've ever had. So delicious. Try them, You'll thank me later. Service was A+, our server XANDER was extremely attentive, made the experience super fun with his jokes. The ambiance was great. They were playing the World Cup game on their 5 tv's and after the game the music came on. I was too full to dance tho. Thank Xander for the great service and for suggesting the ceviche!! It was bomb. read more

We came here around 230 pm on a Friday afternoon. They werent busy at all at that time. But I guess they had a busy brunch, so they were still cleaning all the dirty tables from then. There were only 2 servers working here at that time. So imagine how sad it looked when the other group was celebrating a birthday and only 2 people came out to sing them a happy birthday song.... it was quite sad. Music in here was banging! Lots of reggaeton music. They have tvs with different sports games on as well as the music videos of the music playing. Happy hour starts at 3. Which is basically 3 dollars off their cocktails. So it made them around 10 to 13 dollars for cocktails which is not bad at all in this economy. Their shots are not included in their happy hour menu though so we had several of them prior to 3pm. Their candy shots and espresso shots were really good. I was gonna try their rawmble drink, but they were out of an ingredient already for it. So I had their whiskey sour instead. It was good. We also had their Moscow mule which was pretty good as well. For food we were gonna have their appetizer of chicharrones, which came with guacamole. But they were already out of guacamole and were waiting dor their shipment sometime that day. So I went with their dirty fries instead with ribeye. And it had guacamole already, so I was ok without the appetizer. It was heavy and definitely loaded with toppings. Great flavors. Its something i would imagine having if I was hung over. My wife had their shrimp tacos. There was a lot of fluff vegetables in the tacos. It was ok. Overall, I would definitely come back for their drink specials. And maybe an appetizer just to snack on. Vibes here are nice. Drinks do come out quickly. They do provide you with some complimentary chips and salsa so that was nice. read more

Exceeded my expectations! We went in the middle of the day so it wasn't busy. The servers were very nice. We started with a whiskey sour (10/10). They gave us chips and salsa right away. Between 5 of us we ordered too much food and thankfully we got to take it home (because it was so good). The Mexican candy shots were good (double shot sized). We ordered the tropical oysters (9/10), guac (8/10), fish ceviche, fish tacos (9/10), pork belly tacos (8/10), bacon wrapped shrimp (8/10), the beef burger (7/10), and chicken tacos (8/10). I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

The food here is surprisingly good. The hubs and I stopped by for a quick bite before heading over to the Pottery Barn outlet. We ordered the garlic edamame and their surf and turf to share. Both were delicious. It was only 5 pm so there weren't many people around, and it was still happy hour though we didn't order off the menu. I think they have live music if you come later in the evening. The waitress was friendly and the service was attentive. Overall, I would recommend. read more

We've been meaning to try this spot so we did last weekend. It was kinda late, almost to closing time, and we received a warm welcomed by the staff, which was really nice. We were served with chips and salsa...they were not really good. The chips were way too salty - I did not enjoy them at all. I tried their tacos - they were good except for the pork belly - too gamey for my taste buds. My husband had the ceviche - it was okay. Anyway, I'm not too sure if we're going to go back. read more

FOOD ALLERGIES IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY. it COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY. I have to post this as shellfish allergy is common and i just want people to be aware of potential cross contamination, considering each individual may have different reactions. Came here for the first time time w my friend. Ambience was great, music was good, service felt good, great food and drinks were good.. he ordered a fish burrito and i ordered a shrimp burrito but we told the server that my friend had a shellfish allergy just in case they'd be cooked together. she acknowledged it and said she would tell the cook. we were REALLY enjoying the food and talking about how this was a cool spot, we talked about coming back because it was so good. he said he was feeling a little bit off but thought maybe we were getting a buzz from the alcohol.. but at the very end of his burrito was almost a whole shrimp.. the server said she doesn't know how it happened and that she told the manager and couldn't talk to the chef because she left.. that's fine. we still paid our full bill. it just made me feel like they just don't understand how serious that mistake could have been. Good thing we had benadryl in the car however now he's dealing with really bad stomach pain and having a grand time in the bathroom. Gratefully, his reaction isn't as severe as others.. Please just be careful. read more

I've been on the hunt for a place that makes great octopus--this is it! They know how to cook it perfectly: super tender with just the right char. As a big texture person, I was in heaven. My fiancé ordered the octopus tacos (you get three with a side), and I got the pork belly and octopus skillet, which comes with grilled onions, peppers, potatoes, and a side of guacamole. Both dishes were absolutely amazing. The portions are generous, the flavors spot on, and the service was fantastic. We went on a Friday night when they had karaoke going--it gave the place a lively vibe. For those who prefer a quieter setting, they also have outdoor seating, which I really appreciated. I also tried their tropical oysters. I'm an oyster lover, and these are by far the best I've had. I was so excited I forgot to snap a picture, but I'll definitely make sure to next time! This is without a doubt a spot I'll be coming back to and one I can't wait to share with my Florida friends when they visit. Thank you to the staff for the amazing service and recommendations! read more

I used to live in the IE but haven't been back for years, I miss the authentic flavors you can find , as hidden gems and this is one of them! Based on the fish ceviche- I enjoyed quality, fresh fish inland and most people would not even eat raw fish this far from the water, I'm telling you this will now be a regular spot for me and I will be trying more items on the menu. This flavor is unmatched read more

Adriana is THE best! Food is great! and service is always top tier. She always makes me feel like family when I'm here. 10/10 will always recommend read more

I was able to reserve the patio for my 45th birthday party on a Friday night. Karaoke happens every Friday night so there where two DJs there. Management let me bring in my own Dj so that was nice our server. Adriana our server was top notch, she provided hospitality, Service , and Beauty. The owner, Rigo made sure everybody felt more than welcome. He made sure the patio was nice and clean and there was enough staff to cater to everyone that night. I like celebrating at raw because I can invite as many people as I want, we could be loud, and we can dance. I love to dance. They also have bottle service. They came out with sparklers a bottle of tequila and singing. I recommend this place and if I could, I would give them a 10 star review the food is amazing. It's a Baja fresh vibe and food. The oysters are fresh. The steak was really good. They make their own craft cocktails there definitely check them out. read more

DONT drink the water it's terrible. Any of the other drinks are done very well but for some reason the water alone they have here is just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth read more

Great food, place is clean and great service. They have live music on weekends. We will be coming back.

We were craving Mexican food and decided to try this place based on the reviews, but it was a complete disappointment. I ordered the steak fajitas, and they were salty. The dish came with tiny diced pieces of steak that were nowhere near worth the $30 price tag. We also tried the quesadilla and the wet burrito, and both were mediocre at best. Even my kids wouldn't finish the quesadilla and that's one of their favorite dish! The food quality is cheap, yet everything is absurdly overpriced. I mentioned the issue to the waiter, and she just smiled like it didn't matter. Overall, a total waste of money. read more

I walked in and enjoyed the vibes immediately - lively with good music but not over the top which is perfect for me. You're still able to relax after a long day. Food is top notch! Slightly pricey but well worth it as you can taste the quality. They give you chips as a free starter. They have tasty seasoning and taste great even without salsa. And the best part - they're refillable! I got the trio street taco plate with a side of potato purée which is like mashed potatoes which definitely help fill you up after the smaller tacos. Presentation was beautiful and taste was delicious. Service was excellent. When I walked in, there was no host to greet me, but they weren't busy so it's understandable. I waited maybe 15 seconds to be greeted. They got me seated quickly and answered my questions thoroughly. I was promptly served chips with salsa and water. They checked in on me frequently asking if everything's okay, how the food is, etc. Great location as well - I got this on the way to Costco and other errands. read more

We found this place on Yelp as we searched for fish tacos. Such a fantastic choice. The service and friendliness of the staff was incredible and the food 10/10. We had fish tacos, shrimp tacos, potato tacos and a side of mashed potatoes. Again 10/10, absolutely delicious. The fish tacos came with a side of grilled vegetables which also knocked it out of the park. So many restaurants have a side of grilled vegetables which are often soggy and flavorless. Not the case here, it was a perfectly cooked and flavorful mixture of squash, potatoes, and bell peppers. read more

Came to Raw to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was great. The place is nice & clean. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas & they were not great. My husband ordered shrimp tacos & he said they were pretty good. It was a party of 10 & everyone who ordered sea food had nothing but great things to say, the other half, me being part of that half didn't order sea food & we were not very satisfied with our food, 2 others ordered fajitas as well & birria tacos. It was one of the greasiest fajitas I've had, I could not finish. if you love that, I recommend the plate, it is a generous serving. It was just not for me. I would say if you come here, stick to the sea food, which is something I wish I did, as they specialize more in that. Overall had a decent time. read more

Saw this place on the way to our hotel while staying in Rancho Cucamonga and it looked inviting and fun. Looked up the reviews and seemed promising. My spouses business associates (including his boss) agreed & came along as well. Great vibes & ambience--totally welcoming. Sometimes places with music can be overwhelming for conversation, but it was just right! I had the Paloma which was tasty & hit the spot with the generous pour & rim of Tajin We happened to show up on "taco Tuesday" so there was a special of buy 2 get one free--which we each participated in. We also ordered the ceviche sampler which was superb. The octopus tacos were a standout!! Would definitely recommend this place for the food and the friendly, sweet & knowledgeable staff. read more

Had lunch at RAW today with a friend. We both loved it. It was fabulous! The vegetables were prepared just right. Not mushy very flavorful. The Mahi Mahi was grilled and seasoned perfectly. The Salsa Verde is the best I've ever had! Very tasty. Took some home. Service and ambiance also great. Worth every penny. Will be going back. read more

The food is OUTSTANDING! I had grilled salmon that tasty, delicate, seasoned well & smooth like butter. My husband said the steak & lobster enchiladas were the best he's ever had. The libations were on point. Even the salsa that came with the chips had a different taste that was quite good. The service was great also! You have to try this place! read more

We made a reservation for this place on a Saturday for a party of 7 to celebrate galentines. I wanted a place with good vibes, drinks, and food. Based off of the review this spot seems pretty good. I was happy to find out that they actually do offer bottomless mimosas on Saturdays as well and not just Sundays. Their mimosas flight is $25 and the bottomless is $28. I personally think the bottomless is a better deal so that's what I opted for. I got the pineapple bottomless mimosa and it was good. I liked that it was cold and not warm. I did get a chance to try their mimosas flight and they were decent but flavor wise, I've had better. We also ordered the candy shot. It was okay but for $35 that was a bit overpriced in my opinion. Let's talk about the food. We ordered: Short rib tacos - this was decent if you drenched it in sauce otherwise it was a bit dry. 3/5 Dirty fries - the fries were decent but not worth $23! You can literally get the same kind of fries but probably a bit better at a food truck. 3/5 Chilaquiles - pretty basic chilaquiles and not the best I've had. 3/5 Ceviche - I got the mixta which is basically the combo. It was served over a piece of tostada and they also gave us additional tostadas on the side. It was a bit too sour but when you're drunk enough, it started to taste okay. 2/5 guac and chicharon - basically just guac and chips but with chicharons - 3/5 Eggs Benedict - the egg Benedicts was a huge disappointment. When you think of an egg Benedict, you think of a runny yolk when you slice through that egg and it drapes over your biscuit. This was not it. It was a hard boiled egg over a bed of lettuce. No yolk in sight. We sent it back to the kitchen and it still came back over cooked!!! This dish was just not good but also If you're going to offer a dish in the menu, make sure it's done correctly. 0/5 Service - our waitress was nice but the service alone could have been better. We asked for water and it never came until we had to ask a few more times. Bottomless mimosas but I felt like we had to constantly flag her down to just too us off again. The restaurant was not busy so I feel like she could have done a lot better and been way more attentive. Overall 2/5. If you're looking to just get drunk off bottomless mimosas then this place might be it. But if you're looking for good food then there's definitely other places. read more

This place is a solid 5 from the ambience, to the food, and service! The pork belly tacos is prolly one of the best i've had... not salty, has a smoky flavor to it... just perfectly made, crunchy on the outside! Hubby enjoyed the omelette and pancakes. The margarita that Mom ordered was a 4 according to her. She def enjoyed it! We especially love the lively music in the background. Def worth a visit in RC. read more
