A hidden local gem of a place. I was a bit hesitant at first but boy my impression of the restaurant changed completely after tasting their food. The menu is huge and The food tasted amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful. The staff are polite and friendly but you might need to use translator on your phone. They also have a super market, where the produce was fresh.

The highlight was probably the salsa which seemed to be made in house, including a more mild verde version. Anyhow, if you are near the Dayton Mall or around Miamisburg, take the time to jump off of 725 and over to Watertower Lane...

You get more portions and taste better than those chain Mexican places like el toro or rancho grande. Forget those high prices and small portions. Come here to la raza and it will blow you away with their authentic traditional food! I took Zach’s mom here once and she...
