Mi Raza Cocina is a proud, family-owned Mexican restaurant in El Paso, Texas, dedicated to sharing authentic flavors while championing Down syndrome awareness. Our journey began when our family—a small group of four—took a leap of faith to purchase a cozy eatery near Red Sands. What started as a quest for hot breakfast after an off-roading adventure turned into a passion project: to create a warm, inclusive dining experience for locals, friends, and families.
At Mi Raza Cocina, we believe that good food has the power to bring people together. We’ve dedicated our restaurant to our son with Down syndrome, ensuring that our environment—just like our family—is always welcoming, supportive, and full of life. We’re proud to partner with organizations like Gigi’s Playhouse and celebrate events like Dining for Down to raise funds and awareness.
From our hiring practices to our sensory-friendly environment, we strive to make Mi Raza Cocina a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and at home. Whether you’re dropping by for a quick bite or settling in for a family meal, our staff will greet you with open arms—and maybe a few tortillas!
Our menu spans traditional breakfast fare—like huevos rancheros and chilaquiles—to savory lunch and dinner plates, including classic tacos, burritos, and sizzling gorditas. We source local, fresh ingredients to ensure every dish bursts with the vibrant flavors of Mexico.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: serve authentic Mexican cuisine in a space that uplifts and celebrates people of all abilities. We invite you to join our journey—come for the food, stay for the community, and help us make a positive impact in El Paso and beyond.
