REVIEWS
"Raymond’s on Blue Island and Damen is that spot!! The tacos always hit, the asada is top-tier,
and the people are cool. It’s got that old-school, no-nonsense vibe that’s hard to find these days,
especially in chicago. Been coming here for years and it honestly never disappoints. Cash only,
but there’s an ATM."
"THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ANY OCCASION"
— Damian GA.
"If you know, you know the menudo here is seriously so underrated. Only on weekends, and it’s
worth waking up for. Rich, flavorful broth, tender meat. Perfect hangover cure or just a solid
weekend tradition. Always hits the spot."
"CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS"
— Tabitha Sanchez
Raymond 's nunca falla. El queso derretido entre las tortillas es otra cosa—bien tostado, bien
cargado, y con ese sabor casero que ya casi no se encuentra. Todo está buenísimo, pero ese
detalle del queso lo lleva a otro nivel. Si no lo has probado, te estás perdiendo de algo especial.

Man... that cheese be hittin’. Raymond’s got that real deal—tortillas with the melted cheese in
between? Fire. I don’t know what they do to it but it’s got that flavor that makes you stop
mid-bite like damn. Everything I’ve had here is good, but that cheesy tortilla combo? Underrated
for real.

Been coming to Raymond’s since I was a kid—my parents used to bring me here after school or
on weekends. Now I’m grown and still pulling up, because the food’s just that good. The tacos
always go crazy!! Man, and the fries still slap after all these years! Consistent, comforting, and
always hits the spot.

La horchata está buenísima. Bien fría, bien hecha. Me la acabé en dos minutos.
