This Restaurant was Mi Zacatecas before and it had amazing drinks and an extensive selection of really good FOOD .It was great to go eat or Dance the night away. I have been wanting to go and try Raíces for a While since I follow them on Social Media and the food looked good in the pictures. I ordered an Esquite, a Guacamole with Chicharon , which they did not have chicharon so I got it with chips , we also ordered A ceviche mixto and a Michelada. We got complimentary chips and salsa . The salsa honestly tasted like it was store bought and not made in house . The Guacamole was mid It was more like mush with a bunch of chunky tomatoes . I like mine with chunky avocado. But it is all my preference.The esquite was extremely salty and very small portion for $8. The ceviche mixto was ok. My husband did enjoy the Michelada. We also wanted to order a dessert I have never tried called Carlota they offer but unfortunately they did not have it .The service was outstanding and very attentive. In total I believe we spent around $64. I think I will not be back because the food that I order was not to our taste.

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience at Raices! We were greeted warmly upon entering and sat quickly although there was seven in our party. Our server Alayna was amazing in every way. Her knowledge of the menu and genuinely friendly nature just made for a more enjoyable time. Food and drinks were outstanding! Highly recommend…run, don’t walk and support this family owned establishment.

Raíces Mexican Restaurant in Vallejo was a great find for our family dinner. We came here with my parents, who were visiting from the South. They’re older and pretty picky eaters, so they specifically wanted a sit-down, plate-style dinner. After doing some research, we decided on Raíces, and it did not disappoint.
My dad ordered the chile relleno with green sauce and said it was the best he’s ever had, which is high praise coming from him. My partner had the chicken mole, which was smoky and full of depth, easily one of the most flavorful moles we’ve tried. I ordered the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp, which arrived on a sizzling platter with warm tortillas. Everything was super flavorful with a nice kick.
They also have a kids’ menu, and the kids really enjoyed their burrito and chicken fingers. The chicken fingers were surprisingly high quality, more like legit fried chicken than typical kids’ fare.
The restaurant has a small bar, festive holiday décor, and TVs on the walls so you can catch whatever game is on. The food did take a little while to come out, but it was absolutely worth the wait.
Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

Usually do not bother posting negative reviews but it was a really unusual experience. Showed up at 8:05, it was so loud in there and I thought it was due to a huge party of people, we asked to sit a little out of that tables way and they accomodated. Turns out the music was also incredibly loud. Ok, we came to eat…not talk, I guess. We ordered drinks, chips, salsa and two taco salads. We got them an hour later. The drinks were great, at least. The food was not great. The carnitas were little grisly chunks and there was not a lot of flavor. I ate half of it and did not take any home. It took another 25 minutes to get a box to go for my friend and the cherry on top, there was a 3.65% surcharge added to the check for card processing fees. This was on the receipt, no notice beforehand about that. Maybe it was an off night, but the experience for me, was not even passable, let alone good.

Good ceviche, very good steak tacos with a particularly good red sauce. Lovely corn tortillas with the ceviche. Salsa with the chips was lovely. And a lovely shrimp cocktail. Outstanding gob smacker of a bloody Mary – – that definitely woke me up. Lovely outdoor patio. Would absolutely come back again. accommodated her special request on the ceviche, which tells me it’s not premade. I love a Michelada, and they have a specialty one as well which I would love to come back and try.

Very good Micheladas. We tried the nachos, taquitos and enchiladas. All were plated very nicely and had good flavor. Prices are a bit on the higher end and the location isn’t the greatest. It’s kind of hidden away and the dark windows do not give it much exposure. The inside decor is nice. Music was playing at a reasonable level and the service was wonderful.
