La Raza in Cambridge

Lovely little spot a simple but delicious menu. A relaxed vibe. I enjoyed it a lot. The prawns were amazing.

La Raza and I have a long history (20 years I think!) and it was really nice to be back after such a long stint away. The venue still retains it's classic well loved aesthetic, serves wonderful tapas, hosts live gigs and DJs. Also, a great bar for cocktails galore! If you're looking for a more upbeat and classy night out, La Raza is a great choice for you!

Very disappointing.The 'paella' was nothing more than sticky tasteless yellow rice with some peas, boiled tasteless pieces of chicken and unseasoned prawns.The croquetas tasted like those that you just buy frozen from supermarket, and invisible bits of sweet potatoes in the tortilla, when potatoes are the main ingredient alongside with eggs.If you've lived in Spain and know what real Spanish food is like, don't go there.

Good variety of dishes and drinks. Friendly staff but slow service. Tasty and hot food. Toilets are really poor and dirty.

Delicious food and cocktails, and friendly, efficient staff.

Very good vegetarian tapas.The figs with goats cheese were the best item and would thoroughly recommend.Close second we’re the olives and manchego, potatas Bravas, and tortilla (omelet) were all high quality.Bread with oil and balsamic was good, the balsamic was very rich and delicious.And finally the cous cous with roasted veg could have had a little more seasoning on the veg.All washed down with a jug of nice sangria.Considering the price I think this is a very worthwhile venture. Also friendly staff.I would recommend and would go again (even if only for the figs and goats cheese)

Don’t waste your time and moneyI don’t particularly enjoy leaving negative feedback for a restaurant, however my experience dining here for lunch yesterday has motivated my to do so to dissuade others from wasting they’re time and money at this establishment.We ordered cod croquettes and a seafood paella. They were both terrible. The croquettes were bland, tasteless with no discernible texture and fell apart.We were told when ordering that the paella would take 20-30 mins as they were cooked to order. The result was certainly not worth the wait (see photo).The dish which we received resembled a savoury porridge, a veritable insult to paella. The rice was clearly over cooked with a mushy texture, the prawns were flavourless and overdone, the squid was rubbery and bland. It is clear that this restaurant is not authentic, and the staff have no idea how to cook paella.When we provided feedback to the staff after our meal the response we got was ‘the seafood lets out a lot of water when it is cooked’Please avoid this place at all costs this was a waste of time and money, and to our dismay we discovered the local market, a short walk away, had a paella stand which looked freshly cooked for a fraction of the price.

Had a tapas-style lunch here, sat at their outdoor tables, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious (amazing sweet-potato tortilla), and the service spot-on.

We had seafood paella, fried squid, roast veg and house salad, none of them that we didn’t like. Will definitely come back again!

They were really great with everything for our large group booking. Food was lovely, staff were great, good value for money. Well done Jess
