First established in 2003, La Raza is now one of Cambridge’s favourite restaurants, combining the relaxed vibe of a cocktail bar with the sophistication of a restaurant and lively atmosphere of a live music venue. Open all day long, seven days a week, La Raza offers something for just about everybody, from romantic dates to discerning proffesionals and partying students letting their hair down after a long day in lectures.
Barista coffee is served throughout the day at La Raza, with a fine lunch menu including gourmet sandwiches as well as tapas available from midday. In the evening La Raza’s varied tapas menu, inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean, is served alongside a variety of cocktails, beers and fine wines. As well known for its music as it is for its food, La Raza is home to live bands most wednesdays, thursday and fridays while additional sounds come courtesy of skilled DJs that keep the party alive.

Nice tapas - we had calamari and croquettes.=The paella however was bland and the rice overcooked. Certainly wasn't cooked with stock or with safforn and totally unseasoned. Did tell the waiting staff but they just shrugged and took the full price anyway. Not much point if asking if everything is ok if you have an ambivalent response to a negative customer comment.

Booked to eat here on Wednesday with my wife. When we turned up the restaurant was empty - waiter explained that they were not expecting delivery of supplies until Thursday so half the dishes on the menu were not available. Obviously we did what presumably anyone else who went in there that night did, and left.

The service was slow, they forgot my friends mock tail after half an hour so we cancelled if. There was no music downstairs, it was so quiet I could hear myself talk. No atmosphere or ambience. It was not professional service and thank god the good food saved it

Had a lovely family meal at La Raza on Sunday. it was a glorious day so we sat outside. The tapas are really good and our favorites were the prawns, seabass and the beef skewers. We go to Spain a lot and the tapas were as good as we've had there. Would definitely recommend

Stopped by for lunch with my husband (who is from Madrid!) and had tapas (ordered about 6 tapas to share) and sangria. We were a tad disappointed with the chorizo tapas we ordered, very watery and bland…not sure why it came with croutons as these just became a soggy mess after a while. The calamares were also a tad on the soggy side. Really wanted to love the place, but unfortunately the food just wasn’t reminiscent enough of authentic Spanish cuisine for us.

LA Raza had fantastic food and a great selection of drinks, with some super deals for cocktails and beers. They are set up really well for covid with perspex sheeting between tables and the atmosphere is relaxed with easy lighting. The food is the highlight and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Nibbles/starters were ok, we had croquetas , stuffed aubergine and crispy squid. We ordered three paellas, two chicken and chorizo and one vegetarian. Big portions, for six people probably two are enough. The problem was they were not tasty at all. Bland flavour, sticky rice. If you visit stick to the tapas, the paella is not worth it.

I gave 3 stars just because the food was amazing as it usually is, I’m really disappointed to have been sat in a place outside of the restaurant. The setting of la raza is what makes it nice, except it seemed like we were in a cafe.. the door was left open so it was freezing, it felt like we were just left in there, there was a table next to us where the girl was completely drunk out of her face and was being really loud and annoying. Being stuck in this area to eat our food is what spoiled it for us. Such a shame as we usually love it here in the restaurant.

We had an amazing evening at La Raza. The service was outstanding as always. We felt very safe during these uncertain times and the staff are always extremely accomodating and very welcoming. The food was great and so were the coctails. We will be returning again very soon. Thank you

They’re working on an app system at the moment, due to Covid. However, our phones were out of signal for 4g and the WiFi wasn’t good. It took us so long to try and order anything. When first seated nothing was explained to us and we felt almost like we were putting them out. The food was yum, as were the cocktails-once we were able to order them. I think Covid is definitely effecting customer service, which is understandable, however we were on our honeymoon and was looking for something with a bit of sparkle.

Nice place. Good Covid setup. We took kids and wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate, it ended up being great for them. Ordered bread that never came. Otherwise food was good (Better than expected) and drinks were great.

Inedible food. Left it all. Tasted like dirty water. No offer for refund. Will never return.

A good menu and pleasant staff but the online ordering form was overly long with repeated questions. Ticking lots of boxes saying you dont want promotional material is tedious. And when I ordered a second drink I had to it all again. Other restaurants have a much more user friendly Covid ordering system. Also not sure how necessary the big plastic screens are - they kill the ambience; again many other places have managed this better. Was good value due to eat out scheme.

The food was delicious and the waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. The only down side was we ordered 2 desserts and initially they were not brought out. The waiters apologised and then 1 of them came out. We were offered a free drink as an apology but we kindly declined as we were happy to wait for the 2nd dessert. Overall it did not detract from our lovely evening and we will definitely be returning.

The food is great service is also amazing but the leather sofas are peeling and look worn and very old and the decor feels dated and dingy, it definitely needs re decorating and an update

First visit. Very pleasant space, staff and the food generally very good. They were struggling a bit with staff shortages but the waiter kept coming over keeping us informed. Will definitely go back
