DF becomes La Raza

Look familiar? The old Tacos DF trailer has reopened as "Antojitos La Raza!"



Same great location (see map below) but under new management, and a great opportunity to see how it all starts. A genuine "neophyte" business, La Raza seems to be doing very well, without taking any business away from the new Tacos DF restaurant.

Operated by sisters Chelo and Rocio, friends of Adrian, the menu derives from DF or Mexico City regional cuisine, but there are some notable differences between La Raza and Tacos DF.
But first, note that the La Raza menu has been tacked up over Adrian's old Club America emblem, but doesn't quite cover it. [g]

The first item, the "bisteck" taco, is actually a whole steak, served in a large tortilla. If you want what we think of Mexican style tacos, you order the Tacos de Guisado, which are available with chicken, beef, and a mixture of potatoes and chorizo. I had two beef tacos de guisado, and the meat was what I would have called suadero, or steamed, shredded beef with onions and spices. Very tasty! They were served on double tortillas with lettuce, and next time I will ask them to leave out the lettuce. That's if I don't try the enchiladas, which I haven't seen at a taco truck before.

Chelo makes her own salsas, and I tried both the red chile sauce and the green tomatillo-- both excellent.


Chelo took a break from her hot stove so I could take a picture of her with her granddaughter Adriana.

Antojitos La Raza is located on the south side of S. Parker Rd, just north of Iliff, in the liquor store parking lot. Hours are 10-6 Tuesday through Friday, 9-7 on Saturday, and 9-3 on Sunday.
