La Razita: Reviews & Ratings
They have the best baleadas in town, and tacos . I tried others places and nothing compares with la razita. Very good service their employees are very nice and helpful.
I came across this grocery store and they have a little of everything. From all the Spanish products you can think of to a tiny restaurant. In the restaurant portion you can seat and eat. But honestly, I would just order and go. Be prepared to wait everything is prepared fresh.
Decent Latin grocery store with a limited selection. Real bonus here is the kitchen in the back corner. Carne asada taco, a little too thick and not much flavor but very generous portion. The pastor was not really pastor, just fatty pork, not really interesting. The carnitas was delicious and also a very generous portion. The forth star here is due to the generous portions. Only issue here is everything is cooked to order and this means it takes a while to get your order. So to be smart and if you know what you want, order ahead.
I got some tacos de asada with horchata. The horchata was okay, never tasted it like that before. However the meat was fresh and tasted great. As well as the tortilla. Will come back for more, especially sopes.
West side Jax has a few good Mexican spots, la Razita is right up there in the top 3, highly recommended pastor and asada, the true thing. Don't get intimidated by language, they all speak english
Went here thinking it was just a grocery store and it was a small place to get authentic mexican food as well. In florida its hard to find real mexican food thats not americanized and this place killed it..super frickn good. Good portions and good prices. I got al pastor and chorizo tacos...highly recommend.
This is a small Mexican grocery store located in the westside open for about two years now. From the outside, you pretty much cannot see in with all of the flyers and advertisements pasted on the windows. Once you walk inside, there are festive colors abound with a full arsenal of Mexican specialty items from cans of lard to frozen tamales to your favorite Latin sweets. About the size of a regular convenience store, the owner carries a nice selection of Mexican beers and cheeses, hundreds of grocery items, ready made snacks, chips, Mexican blankets, religious candles, personal care items, chorizo, Mexican sodas and juices, Horchata mix, Abuelita coffee and so much more! They are Spanish friendly here offering some great little delicacy for those homemade cravings and the convenience of having available those hard to find brands that you can't get in your regular grocery stores. Overall, I love that you can get homemade tamales every Saturday for just $2 (pork or chicken) and he also carries a variety of locally baked Conchas (Mexican Sweet-Topped Buns) for his customers. Very friendly service, great products and good prices makes me a fan of this place. Note: This store accepts food stamps and participates in the government SNAP food program.
