Go Raw Cafe

my fav row café in Las Vegas. I usually have salad and green juice here. If its not too cold outside, its nice to eat outside. There is a lake in front of the restaurant, so you can enjoy the view as well.

I was on my way to Chipotle when I remembered I was near Go Raw. I figured I’d do lunch here instead, I hadn’t been in over a year. What a mistake. Never again.
I got a «large» juice and the enchiladas. When the juice came out in what appeared to be a 16 oz plastic cup, not even filled to the top, I figured I’d been given the small by mistake. No big deal.
I’d give the texture-​less, bland enchiladas 1/​10, the accompanying sides 8/​10, and the juice a ³⁄₁₀. Beet/​apple/​ginger, it was mostly apple juice.
There was a funky odor when I went in, I figured it was just something in the dehydrator. After I placed my odor, I realized it was the smell of urine coming from the homeless woman in the other corner. It got to the point where I was gagging on my food. I asked for a box and the check.
When I got the check and saw that I was charged for a «large» juice, I asked the server how many ounces in a small. She told me the small is 14 oz, and the large is 18 oz. I am certain I was given less than a pint of juice.
I forgot my juice and box of food there and I don’t even care. I cried a little driving out of their parking lot. What a horrible experience.

Sweet fancy Moses, I love this place! The food is delish, the service is great, and its healthy. Perfect all the way around.

Really good raw vegan food that is thoughtfully prepared, with creative combinations that made it tough to decide what to order. Came in with several others so I could check out their dishes too! I had the enchiladas which I really enjoyed — definitely a different experience than the usual enchilada, delicious in a way that is different than cooked vegetarian enchiladas. The zucchini «pasta» was also really delicious — so good that I will try to imitate this one at home…
I found the «full» portion of enchiladas and pasta to be pretty big — I was able to finish the enchiladas (stuffing myself) but I probably could have only eaten half the pasta dish. But I don’t usually eat huge meals, so if you are used to eating big meals, you may want to spend a little more on appetizers and stuff. I’m too lazy to prepare raw foods like this at home, so I never expect it to be cheap in a restaurant.
Nice relaxing view of ducks on the lake, overall just a pleasant lunch spot. While I’m a vegetarian and pretty adventurous about trying new vegetarian dishes, my lunch companions are not — it surprised me that they were the ones lobbying to go to a raw vegan restaurant, but now I see why!

It’s consistent. Pretty good. Not a lot of seating.

Service a one star
Food overall a 3.5÷4 star
Service:
Extremely sloppy, the waitress wasn’t listening when I told her no tomatoes on my Bruschetta Toast, wasn’t helpful at all, it felt like she didn’t wanna be there! And That is really bad for a niche market restaurant.
Food:
Everything I got was simply shi* besides 2 things that actually deserve a five star, and those are the «avocado fries» and «the avocado soup» the sprouts on top added a nice touch to eat.
I tried the nut and beet burger, it was simply gross. the sushi was edible, but no taste. and the drinks were so awful I couldn’t believe that even the simplest thing they knew how to mess up.
Bottom line: I thought that Vegas will have an abundance of great restaurants, but so far I have been disappointed. Bonus: go to «viva las arepas» and get the Guava & Cheese Pastelito and thank me later… Not to mention that the food over there is seasonably priced, and better then alot of so called «world class restaurants»
Ciao for now.

expensive but delicious and unique

Ok, Im not gonna bash the place. We went tonight and were in a hurry so we did to go. The place is awesome. It had a great grocery section and the staff was amazing and friendly. It just wasn’t what we expected. My mistake for not looking into this place first because nothing is cooked. Everything is cold. They’re very creative with the dishes. If this is what we expected before coming in it wouldn’t have been an issue. It would have gotten five stars except one thing. The portions are very tiny and its very pricey for the small portions. I might be vegan but I still can eat! If your very hungry make sure you get two or three orders of something. I will be back because my lasagna was really good, 100% vegan and healthy! I highly recommend this place just come in with an open mind and throw out your expectations of a normal restaurant

My fav place to get juices and they have yummy humus plates and the salads are so good too. They opened a new location on rainbow yea…

Love this place the beet burger is the best.
Nice relaxing place with amazing healthy food.

The interior is very bright with colors of purple and pink… It smells fresh too when you walk on. So far what I’ve tried has been delicious! Both food and drink have a nice taste you can’t get from many other places around~

I begin with a quote from the Go Raw Café website, «Go Raw Café features fine, organic, live, vegan cuisine.» I was hooked as soon as I read that line. I know I can find the nutritional sustenance I promote for my family here. The food is fresh, pure, and made with care. Healthy foods means a healthy family, for this I am thankful the Café is here.
I am grateful for all Go Raw Café offers. I have dined here many times. I enjoy the juices, the smoothies, homemade chips, soups; just bring me anything from the menu. It’s all good. It’s all crisp. It’s all delicious.
I enjoy the book selection and shelves of pantry items. I can get raw crackers, cacao nibs, and kale chips, to name a few items. For me or for a gift, I have found plenty of surprises I appreciate.
If only there was a drive-​thru, I would be here daily. But, I know the careful work that is placed meticulously for each dish is worth the patience, effort, and time to slow myself down and enjoy table service dining.

I’ve been meaning to try this place out for a really long time so when I came in, it took me forever to decide since most of their options sounded super appealing. I went with the beet burger which came with avocado «fries.» I was nervous to try it since I’ve never had raw vegan food, but to my surprise, it was yummy and filling! I feel like they shouldn’t call it avocado fries because there was no resemblance to a fry. It still was good but nothing like a fry. Their prices are a bit high, but that is expected with the ingredients they use and the fact that it is vegan and gluten free. I also got the chocolate chip cheesecake which was so damn good that I wished it was way bigger lol. I really liked the view of the lake and the fact that they have a mini store connected that has all sorts of vegan goodies you can take home for later. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

Fantastic service. Great atmosphere. Had the Vegi wrap and Blue burrito — both delicious, multi textured, flavorful and filling. Definitely recommend!

Love the beet burger! The texture is also good!
Only problem for me is that the Avocado fries were actually tooo oily & cream-​added, which made me feell a little bit nauseated…

Very flavorful. Great preparation. Great choices. And lots of food. Wonderful (and raw .
.. BONUS!)

There’s a growing number of healthy restaurants in Vegas, but those that deal in raw food are very few– location is hard to find but worth the search. Bonus points for having lakeside seating to dine alfresco!
Menu mostly consists of veggie pasta dishes, buckwheat pizzas, wraps, soups, and the obligatory salads, juices, and smoothies. Wraps are made with collard green leaves, and a half order will get you two– the Mexi wrap (nuts, seeds, herbs, guac, and salsa) and the Mediterranean wrap (hummus, sprouts, veggies) are both tasty. I prefer to get half of each to make a solid meal that clocks in just under $ 15.
Location is a little odd– it’s part diner, part bookstore, has the feel of a hippie crystal store, and friendly staff. Parking can be difficult as there are other popular businesses in the plaza but this one is tucked in an awkward corner.

4 stars may be generous, but I like supporting healthy restaurants. We’ve never felt so uncomfortable at a restaurant before. After I specifically pointed out my interest in the «Kookies & Kreme» smoothie because of the coconut and cacao nibs, the waitress agreed that those ingredients were delicious together & made no mention that the smoothie also included banana & several other ingredients. The menu says #20 smoothie with coconut & cacao nibs. So rather than writing out all the ingredients in that particular smoothie, if you don’t notice that it says it is a «#20» WITH the coconut and cacao, you’ll get a totally different smoothie.
The smoothie tasted like BANANA. You don’t taste ANY «cookies & crème» flavor. AT ALL. It just tastes like a banana smoothie. Neither of us could taste anything but banana. When I said something, the waitress pointed out that it DID say the smoothie had banana in it. I was super bummed because I didn’t want banana. The waitress seemed to take it really personally, even though we were very nice to her despite the confusion. Like it seemed she was really angry at us for the miscommunication. We weren’t angry with her at all, so it was awkward how she seemed offended. She didn’t charge us for the smoothie, which was nice of her.
We ate the enchiladas, which weren’t BAD but weren’t GREAT either. There was some dry stuff inside… it seemed like a recipe gone wrong. Enchiladas should have lots of yummy stuff inside, but instead it was just a thin layer of this dry nutty stuff. The sauce and toppings should have been on the inside. It wasn’t as good as it could be.
I ended up ordering a coconut-​durian smoothie (since I didn’t want to the banana ‘cookies and crème’ smoothie), which I’ve ordered before and knew I would enjoy. It tastes mostly like durian, but durian is overpowering. I like it.
It is awkward when you walk in, because no one greets you. You have to walk up to where they make the food and let them know you need help.
I prefer this location to Go Raw’s other location — it’s by a man-​made lake with a nice view of beautiful homes and has outdoor seating. There’s a huge selection of raw vegan goodies.
I would go again, mainly because there aren’t many raw vegan options in Vegas.

I had extra time between appointments while driving around town and Unilocaled for something close by. It was a little hard to find tucked in the back of a small shopping complex in the lakes but the food was great! My only regret was getting it to go because they had tables by a window looking out at the lake.
It’s a funky little raw restaurant but there’s one in CA I fell in love with and this one is every bit as good. I’m going to go back an dine in.

The Go Raw Café is located in The Lakes Right off of Lake Sahara Dr. It is a small strip mall right on the lake. They offer a raw vegan menu and they also have a small grocery section where you can buy packaged items.
The menu has a variety of different items all made from raw foods. I ordered the following items:
Beet Burger — Excellent!
A burger made from beets and other veggies served between living bread with a side of avocado fries.
Avocado Fries — Excellent!
Sliced avocado rolled in bread crumbs.
Italian Sampler — Excellent!
Veggie spaghetti, veggie lasagna, and lining bread with veggie cheese. It was all made from raw foods.
Vegan Sushi — Excellent!
A veggie roll made with mock salmon.
Acai Berry Bowl — Good.
Acai berries blended and topped with granola and banana slices.
Overall it was an interesting meal. Definitely a must try if you enjoy raw foods.
