Chicken milenesa dish keeps me coming back every time! Chips are fresh hot and the perfect amount of flakey and the salsa has just enough kick for everyone to enjoy! Margarita pizza is a great appetizer if you have over 2 people!
Rafa is an old school restaurant owner who still greets his customers and stops to check on people who to make sure they are happy. His staff has very little turnover from what I’ve seen over the years which speaks volumes. His food is fresh and I’ve never had a bad meal there.

Rafa’s Café Mexicano always delivers! My absolute favorite dish is the Steve’s Steak Tacos. My mouth waters just thinking about it! It is the absolute best AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant in the Dallas/Park Cities area next to my mother-in-law’s kitchen. If you’ve never been GO… IMMEDIATELY!
We happened upon Rafa’s while out running errands. We were blown away by the warm and welcoming staff and of course the food was delicious (at a reasonable price). Love this place, we will be back
I've been here many times with my mom and dad who live around the corner. They always call him by his name when he comes in. Wonderful food and wonderful waitstaff who treat us like family. We will continue to patronize Rafa's for a long long time!
Daytime is super chill and waiters are attentive and super friendly. Definitely gonna go back.
How’s about the city of Dallas hooks up this entire shopping plaza with a second level for parking?
Not only their food is amazing , their customer service is perfect. Because of this pandemic we usually seat out door, as they did not have available seat for us , the manager was so kind and brought us another table for the outdoor so we could seat , eat our food and enjoy the weather. You can’t go wrong with the beef fajita the taste is amazing . We will come back 🥰🥰🍁🍂
Surprisingly good! Overall experience was amazing. Staff friendly and on top of everything. By the way parking facing lovers lane is available parking even though its shows to be reserved for other businesses. Rafa's has a sign posted on their door confirming this.
Excellent food...we had fajitas, puffy taco, cheese taco and cheese enchiladas. All was really good. Salsa is spicy but really good. Meat was seasoned well and very tender.
I picked food up to go. They have a 6% togo charge but the food was plentiful and the tacos were amazing. While I was waiting Jose offered me some water.
awesome little local joint. i love these local neighborhood restaurants. it was great !!! very staff. not too busy when we came on a saturday evening.
We have been going to Rafa's for years and think it is one of the best Tex-Mex restaurants is Dallas. The service can be spotty, except for Jose, who has been there over 30 years. He is a pro!
