Old fashioned and Jamaica drink!
Nick L.

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!

Shrimp Bravo

12/10 highly underrated! Amazing service, the cucumber margarita was so delicious, the salsa bar had a great variety and selection of fresh salsa

Enchiladas verdes

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.

Complimentary chips

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.

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!!

I could add 10 more stars to this review. From the reservation to the good bye the experiences with the server, the cook, the ambience and the quality of the food was amazing. Please go to Raw Kitchen and experience this phenomenal establishment. I will be back.

This place is a hidden gem, so authentic and fresh, the food, drinks and service were amazing!!!

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.

Octopus taco Pork belly and octopus with grilled onions and peppers and potatoes
Christine N.

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!

Claudia has the best service very knowledgeable about the menu and the place was very clean. Food looked and tasted amazing. 10 out 10.
