Raices Mexican Cuisine & Bar

Mexican food is my favorite. The Chile Verde may be the best I've ever had. Raices looks like it's a new spot, but it's actually the kids who took over where their parents had a restaurant for nearly 20 years in the same spot. Food was amazing and service with exceptional. Just go. You won't be disappointed.

It is an absolute pleasure for my first review of 2025 to be Raices. This local, family owned restaurant is a hidden gem. It's tucked away in a small plaza, but the inside far exceeds the small town outer appearance. I received a warm greeting as I entered through the door and the service was excellent. I was just in time for HH, so I decided on the nachos and a cocktail. The HH nacho portion is generous and the El Sol de Mexico drink was delicious ( I ordered it with Mezcal instead of Tequila.)The owner was friendly and filled me in on the exciting things to come. She mentioned Sunday brunch and music in the near future. It's located right off of Highway 29, so if you're headed to Napa this is a great stop for a tasty meal.

My hubby and I usually use Yelp to figure where to eat and Yelp didn't disappoint us.Viri was very accommodating and gave us a little bit of an insight of her newly (3 1/2 weeks) opened business.Alayna, our server was lovely to suggest a gluten free option for me. The ambiance was amazing. Will definitely come back!!!

Viri did an amazing job rebranding! The decor is beautiful and really makes the dining experience feel elevated. There's nothing really like it in American Canyon! Our server was super sweet and attentive. I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce and steak. Omg the steak was so delicious. My fiance got pozole and we both really enjoyed that as well. My most favorite thing was the Carajillo de Mazapan. I will keep coming back for that drink. It was so delicious and actually prettttty strong. It was sweet but you could still taste the liquor which I appreciate in a cocktail. I can't wait to come back to try more of their brunch menu and of course to order more Carajillo!

My son took me to Raices for my birthday brunch this morning, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Viri, the owner was so sweet, seated us in a comfortable booth, introduced herself, told us all about their new establishment, and made wonderful recommendations for our drinks and meals. I love the decor and ambiance, and just good vibes all around. Viri crafted us amazing brunch cocktails - the cafe de olla martini and Jamaica mimosa were so good! The chips were served fresh/warm and the house & salsa habanero salsa were on point as well. My son ordered the Aguachile Shrimp and I ordered the Chilaquiles. We were both so pleased with our entrees, the chilaquiles with green sauce was hands down the best I've ever had! Thank you for making my birthday morning so special! We can't wait to come back to try more dishes and happy hour. I think we found our new favorite spot!

This little gem in American Canyon is hopefully here to stay. Not sure if it's the same owners as Mi Zecatacas, but what an improvement if so. It's a little more trendy and the drinks are super good. Not sure what the name of our waitress was, but to the young Guamanian woman: THANK YOU SO MUCH you were awesome! We went during happy hour and the mango La Perfecta ( mango margarita) was amazing! My husband had a take on their old fashioned ( not sure what the name was) and that was also incredibly delicious. Kudos to the bartender as well. I wanna say the mango puree they used was fresh! If not, it sure did taste like it! Hope you guys stick around so that this can be my go to place !

Had my first burrito at a work luncheon. The burrito was delicious. I usually get no beans but the Carne Asada burrito I had with the refried beans were delicious. So I decided to try them again to see if it was just a fluke...IT WAS NOT! I ordered the Super Burrito w/Carnitas. It was delicious. The ingredients used tasted so fresh and the fresh tortilla chips were also delicious. Now let's talk about the service. Beyond superb. Friendly welcome the minute I hit the door. And the professional and friendly welcome just didn't extend to me because I was there in person, it was also extended to the person calling in with a phone order. The atmosphere was lovely too.Delicious Food + Awesome Customer Service + Great Atmosphere = Success

Good vibes, specialty cocktails and a whole refresh from the remodel! Stopped in while waiting for my massage next door and was greeted by the owner Viri who was such a great host! They got the games playing on the big screen, a bar, and great music in the background! Will definitely come back!

Huevos Rancheros were great! I've been looking to replace an old fave that became a COVID casualty (907 in Benicia). Raices is a new twist on an established eatery in American Canyon with all the updated bells and whistles. So thrilled the next generation was able (willing) to pick up the torch and carry on the authentic, Mexican food experience. Our food arrived hot, fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is clean, comfortable and service is amazing. My MIL's burrito wasn't hot enough for her liking (no complaints about flavor), so it was graciously replaced without hesitation or debate. This is the "third Friday, on my way to a monthly line dance party in AC" spot. Looking forward to trying new bites on the extensive menu. This is an absolute MUST if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine made and served with family love.

Nice place. The food is good. The enchiladas with mole were pretty good, just as good as they used to be with the exception that they no longer come with rice and beans. :(. They charge extra for a second basket of chips and salsa, but overall I will go back.
