Your first birria taco is on us

There are lots of amazing restaurants in Florence, but this is not one of them. It’s restaurant prices to eat food from disposable paper plates with wooden disposable cutlery. They force you to tip on the card machine when you go up to order at the bar. No option not to tip, and it’s self service. There was also a hair in the food. Not sure why this place has such great reviews. My advice is go anywhere else.

I’m a big taco fan. So glad I chose this place in Florence (of all places!). the plantain tajadas was the best plantain I’ve had. Then the beef tacos were unreal. Lastly the waiter was a real dude. Highly recommend.

A solid Birria fix in Florence! Very cute restaurant with a solid ambiance and very colorful. I got the nachos and joined the clean plate club.

Amazing Venezuelan food! I got tajadas and an arepa, and I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious they were. It can be tricky to find high quality non-Italian food in Italy, but I will definitely be coming back here.

Wow, wow, wow! The birria tacos were DELICIOUS. Ask for the side of salsa macha if you want a good kick. 🌶️ We arrived close to closing time and the young woman from Venezuela welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. She made us feel like valued guests instead of rushed customers. If you’re scrolling through all the Tex-Mex options, stop and come here instead.

Seriously amazing food. We have been in Italy for over a week and our first night in Florence we wanted something different than Italian food. Raices was beyond delicious. Shredded beef empanadas and the Cochinita Pibil tacos were the way to go. Get a spicy marg if you’re feeling frisky. You won’t regret stopping in here for a meal while in Florence!

Food was incredibly fresh, generous and delicious. My mom and I were walking up and down the streets to find a place to rest and eat after some shopping and found a home away from home. Cold drinks and the friendliest staff. Thank you! Get the micheladas and nachos!! Ask off the off menu extra spicy sauce if you can handle it.

As a Venezuelan traveling to Italy, this is some of the best latin food you're going to find. Authentic flavors from home satisfied my homesickness. The staff is extremely kind and the atmosphere is great with up-to-date music that makes me miss home. I plan to come back once more before I leave!

As my favourite food in the world I can safely say this is the best I have ever eaten. Absolutely incredible flavour. I could eat the birria tacos every single day happily. If you understand the work required to produce these then please come and try. There are two Raices in Firenze. This one is more a takeaway, quick sit down and stuff your face whilst the other one is more of a restaurant experience. My sincere compliments to the chefs I really hope to try the entire menu one day. If you like Latin food I cannot recommend this enough it's the greatest of all time.

Everything was so good! I didn’t have my expectations high as it’s far from Mexico, but it was amazing! A taste of home while we’re on our travels. The Michelada was an off menu added bonus!
