I went in expecting a simple four-taco order with four different meats, but that wasn’t allowed—I could only choose two types. That immediately took some shine off the experience.
Price-wise, it’s on the higher side for what you get. Around $10 for tacos that are pretty small—like two bites each. You finish them fast, and your wallet definitely feels it.
Service is okay, but slow. Not “busy restaurant” slow—more like everything is already prepped, so the wait feels unnecessary. About 15–20 minutes for tacos that should come out much quicker.
Now the good part: the food itself is actually really good. The carne asada especially stands out—juicy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than I expected. I’m picky with carne asada, and this one delivered.
But overall, the value doesn’t match the experience. Limited meat options per order, small portions, higher price, and slow service bring it down.
Final verdict: solid food, weak execution. I’d give it a 3/5.

Hands down best tacos. Open until 1am. Service was friendly and quick. Everything made fresh to order. Ordered a 4taco plate. El pastor and chicken. Both stuffed with meat.

For the price, the food is decent and the Jamaica was delicious. They have a salsa/condiment bar in the indoor seating area. I tried all 3 salsas and the wannabe guacamole one was my least favorite, I’m sure it’s all squash/calabacitas. Lunes that they had pickled jalapenos too. I went on s Thursday and tried their Al pastor taco Thursday special 2 for $2 and they tasted good. I would say that the quality was just not the best but for a $1/ea can’t complain much. And I also got their #3 combo (a torta and drink) and that was okay as well. Did it’s job! There were 3 customers in front of me around 10:15p and the cashier was not friendly but she wasn’t noticeable rude either, you could just tell she did not want to be there. It was get cold so no one was seating outside. We all took our orders to go when I was there. Food took less than 10 minutes to be prepared. I’ll definitely be back to try their burrito combo. I think next time I’ll try it with their Al pastor meat instead. The carne asada on the torta was more on my the bland/dry side that I would like. Def recommend to try it if you’re looking for a budget-friendly menu and good Jamaica (not overly sweet nor sour). I got the carne asada torta, Jamaica small drink, and 2 l pastor tacos for around $13.

First time at Tacos Raul and I was seriously impressed! I ordered the wet burrito and it was so good, flavorful meat, perfect seasoning, and a generous portion. What made it even better? It came with a horchata included, which was super refreshing and tasty.
Service was fast and prices are cheaper than other spots I’ve been to, but the quality doesn’t feel cheap at all. The dining area was clean and not overcrowded when I visited, making it a really chill spot to enjoy my food. Plus, there was plenty of parking outside, which is always a win.
Definitely coming back to try more from the menu!
