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

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

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

PLEASE!! Wash your menus! Everyday. That was my welcome to your restaurant, a STICKY menu! So gross! This has been said in a review before and clearly your not reading them. Food was good, I would give it a 6/10- 1 star of that is for presentation of the food. Servers are very nice, just very slow. It wasn't even that packed and it took so long to get drinks. Then they didn't serve all the entrees at the same time which is a HUGE mistake. The manager came by and 2/3 of us had our food and when I mentioned it he was very kind and apologized, then said, "well, yes that one takes longer." Really? You all don't know how to time your food? Such a disappointment. We got a complimentary side of guacamole... lol. Food and service were not good enough to go back. $50 for 4 margaritas that were served in a SHORT GLASS, filled w ice. Not even a margarita glass. Sorry RAW. Y'all need to get it together. There is too much competition out here to be making avoidable mistakes. 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 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

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

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

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

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

RAW Kitchen & Cantina - Seafood Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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

My husband had the street tacos, one of each (chicken, al pastor, and rib eye) he said he had no complaints! We didn't get picks of the main entres lol This is definitely worth the drive from Barstow! 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

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

Lunch crowd was light. We were handed regular menus and I expected lunch menus. Had to request it. 11-3 lunch specials were pretty good. We went with the 3 fish tacos $16 from the lunch special and potato taco platter on the regular menu $21. We also ordered a margarita. Noticed happy hour starts at 3-6pm M-F. Chips and salsa with beans was very good. read more

so like...most things are better RAW right? I think so too lol Well, I drive by all the time and I see them on yelp all the time. I don't live nearby so I am always looking for new good eats. it was pretty dead inside. I was told to sit anywhere. Someone came by to clean up the table and basically never came back. Some girl end up coming up to help. They do have good lunch specials but, what I got wasn't great. Lunch special - 2 fish ceviche tostada - I ate just the toppings but, it was too much. You're better off going to a hole in a wall spot. I also ordered Chicharrons and guacamole with pork belly. The pork belly made it really heavy. TOO heavy. Overall, it photographs well but, that's it. read more

I really really liked this place. The restaurant was very inviting, as I entered the restaurant I was greeted right away. The staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. Let's talk about the food, I was amazed at how good the menudo was especially since it was already 4 PM I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it would be in the morning, the menudo had a great taste (highly recommended). My lady had the tacos governador, I helped her with the second taco and they were really good. We had the oyster shots on the side that were full of flavor. The drinks were also super bomb and very well made, whoever is making the drinks is doing a great job. The restaurant was playing salsa which is one of my favorite genres, I really liked the ambiance. It was my type of place. I have 0 complaints, everything went smoothly and exceeded my expectations. I will be back. Thank you. read more

I don't normally write restaurant reviews, but I couldn't resist for Raw Kitchen. My wife and I were feeling nostalgic for some carne asada fries like the ones we used to get as college students at SDSU. After a bit of searching, we found Raw Kitchen. What we didn't expect was for this experience to show us just how bad those old carne asada fries really were--lesson learned and a new favorite place found! We first came on a Wednesday and were so impressed that we came back again that Sunday. Both times, the food was absolutely out of this world. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. It's absolutely worth a visit! read more

I came here Sunday for there 2000 R&B event for brunch that I had made reservations for, that was supposed to be 10AM- 3PM.. as soon as I walk in, there is no 2000 music. After a hour the waitress had Me put on the playlist on the TV when that shouldn't be my job since that is what they are advertising. So I was upset. The DJ didn't come until about 2 hours after us already being seated. And they did not tell me that when making my reservations that he wouldn't be there till later. We had to wait 30-40 minutes every time we would order a drink... and then ordered mimosas and they were "out" of champagne, but again, that's what they were advertising so how do you not have enough champagne? So the waitress offered us shots to save her job. They charge by table which they don't share in their advertisement either so it was a mess. The waitress that Handled us did not know how to handle a big party. There was really only 2 waiters that were actually helpful than the one that was assigned to us. I was very disappointed because it was my first time here and it was for my birthday . The food was good but other than that it's totally not worth all of it. I most likely would not ever return.. read more

Honestly I was expecting more based off the reviews and even the start of our evening. We had a party of 16 which they accommodated well especially since our last 5 took a while to get there. They split the party into two for the sake of the checks. Which was fine. The 1st half of the group was ready as we waited for the stragglers of our group, so they went ahead and ordered. Their experience was good, but it wasn't the group I was part of. They enjoyed their food and service. Finally our group ordered, and at this time we still didn't have the waters we asked for. So after ordering we asked for some again. We ordered an app and for some reason that came out with half of the entrees, still no water. So we asked a third time. We got water the third time, but a glass short still. The other half of the entrees came about 5 minutes after the rest of the entrees. At that point a friend who ordered a steak medium and it came out medium well. When he told the waitress it wasn't the right cook she asked "that's not medium" ‍ They fixed it though and then we never saw our waiter again. The food was 50/50. The surf and Turf fries were excellent. The tacos were whatever except the fish taco. We tried the pork belly tacos, octopus tacos, shrimp tacos, and fish. The tacos were so dry, the octopus was over cooked and the pork belly wasn't crispy so it was very chewy and greasy. For about 6 bucks a taco, a la carte, I expected better. The burger was fine, I blame my husband for that. Who gets a burger at a Mexican food place? The steak was good from what I was told and the ceviche as well. When we were done and ready to pay it took about 20-30 minutes to get our waitress attention and ask for the check. And when we did get them, it was wrong. When we handed it back to her to fix she said "okay and with what card" like no, fix it first. Honestly the food was mid and the service was worse. The 2nd star is because the other half of our group was more satisfied, though they had to wait as long as we did for the check. One person from that group even had to leave before the check got there because it took so long. read more

Located in Rancho Cucamonga, the food is legit. First of all, you need to know this is owned in the same family as taco nazo and la bufadora. The son owns this one and the fish tacos are so fluffy and light they float in heaven. That's all I have to say. The drinks were good but a little weak. I heard the beans are better than the rice. Will definitely come again if I'm in the area read more

Food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully plated. I ordered one of the lunch specials, fish and shrimp tostadas, which was reasonably priced for the amount of food. There are also free tortilla chips with spicy salsas. Served was friendly and attentive. Music was a little loud, and fabric on booth seating was ripped, but those were small issues compared to the good food and service. read more

My wife and I loved this place. Last time we were here the service was awful. They have new serving staff that did nothing but hang around chatting in the back and never came around to our table. I had to get up multiple times and walk to them to get a second set of cutlery and then some extra salsa. On top of it all, they never apologized or started coming around to the table, just kept chatting. Food is great, but not putting up with the service when there are so many other places to go to. read more

Came here for brunch with a group of friends, and it was a great time overall. The service was excellent as the staff was friendly and provided great recommendations on food as well as drinks. They have a nice setup inside with vibrant colors, which really sets the vibe and music in the background. Drinks were made on point, and the food was really tasty. Ordered the porn burger, and the patty was cooked perfectly well with the right amount of juice and tenderness. Also, the pepper on top added a perfect kick to the taste. About 8 out of 10 on the spice level. Fries were made fresh and were tasty. Highly recommend the spot and will be back for more. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with my husband. There was not a lot of people. We were seated very fast but the service was so slow. We had to flag down the server for utensils and napkins. They didn't refill our water or check on us. We had to flag someone down to pay the bill too. The food was also not the best. This is the second time coming and I couldn't remember if I liked it here so we came again. Everything even the drinks were very salty. I honestly didn't enjoy my food at all. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Several have earned a 4 star, very few a 5 STAR! This place has it ALL! Litzy the hostess has such a cute spirit that makes you feel welcome.

Ok so we tried just about every drink on their menu, it was a decent size party and we were there a few hours.. don't judge us lol. Pick anything on the menu and it's fire, I promise!

Took my family here for my wife's birthday. She ordered a plain bean and cheese burrito with Asada only. Long story short, it took them three burritos to get it right. Yea 3 try's for that basic burrito. Haven't been here since January I asked for a shrimp and fish ceviche plate I got a shrimp cocktail plate. I told my server was missing fish and he took it back. Brought it back and it had like five pieces of fish. My wife ordered nachos with beans cheese and Asada only I made sure to tell him no extra sauce just plain how she asked. Brought her food and it had chipotle sauce, something that tasted like may. Anyways, my point is it wasn't plain.. if you're picky this probably isn't the place for you. I'm very disappointed as we kept coming it got worse. First time was amazing. Not to sure what's the problem or how to fix it. We are very specific on the food and make it known. read more

The place is well decorated I felt like I was at the beach. I had ceviche one with fish and the other with shrimp it was so good, favorable, they are not stingy, they piled it up high even though the tortilla was small but lots of fish and shrimp the music was awesome salsa style. read more

Cute spot with really tasty food. We had margaritas and the mezcal drink. I ordered the tamarindo flavor and she brought pineapple. I didn't complain because I ended up really liking it. We ordered the surf & turf fries, taco trio and fish tacos. It took a while for her to bring us waters, chips/salsa and our drinks we ordered. Probably 10 mins after we ordered the fries she told us they were sold out and asked if we wanted a diff app. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp instead. All the food came out at the same time (including the app- which I wished came out sooner) Everyone enjoyed the food. It wasn't that busy but she was the only server for the whole place & they had a large party. I ordered a second drink and she apologized because she realized she gave me the wrong drink initially. She said she's comp it but didn't. Once this place gets staffed better I think I'll come back. read more

She really made me feel welcome! She made some food recommendations upon my request and I decided on a few things! They did NOT disappoint! I got the Raw Torro Tostada, One fish (fried) taco, and one potato taco! The fish taco was one of the best I've ever had...so fresh! The potato was yummy, crispy, hot... all the things it should be! The torro raw was so flavorful and fresh! I'll definitely be getting that again! I love the vibes and the music was even good! Really set the Mood! I also really loved the green salsa that came with everything! The prices are fair and I can't wait to come back and try more stuff!
