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
El Duderino
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 🥰🥰🍁🍂
Jose Espinoza
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.
Sara Brice
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.

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!

I was really just looking for a place to get Mexican food. I searched google and found several within a mile. Good rating and chosen from a rider's suggestion, I drive for Uber, and thought we would try it.
Wow!! Great, fast, efficient service! The food was quick and phenomenal! I pretty much gave up on finding good food like this outside of San Antonio for a reasonable price. So happy to see an established business with great standards!
Chicken Chimi was amazing! Flauta and the sauce was fantastic!
We will definitely be back. Bravo!!👏👏👏
Malini Gandhi
Excellent place for family dinner. We were able to meet there multiple times and enjoyed.

After 500+ visits (no exaggeration 25 years), still my favorite Mexican food. Wide variety of menu items although I ALWAYS get chicken fajitas with burned-black onions (my special request). Food same quality as 25 years ago and Raphael is still on site daily. I guarantee youll like this place but it is kid-friendly. They groom the next generation of patrons. At least 2 presidents have eaten here and theyll treat you like a king.

Staple of old Dallas. Love the food. Sometimes the bar service is hit or miss, but we always come back. Only drawback is parking sucks but not really their fault.
Ford Wynne

The house margaritas were unbelievable, very tasty. The enchiladas plate had ground meat, not meat paste. I had not been there in 15 years because we moved to the other side of town. This is my old / new favorite Mexican restaurant. I will be back.
Sonia Cardenas-Aguinaga
I brought my husband to Rafa’s for the first time and he loved it as do I. The food was delicious! I noticed it was happy hour so I asked the waitress for a margarita . She asked me if I wanted a regular or flavored one? I requested a mango margarita since she acknowledged it was happy hour pricing. When I got my bill they charged regular price for the margarita. I asked why and they said regular margaritas are half price only and not the flavored margaritas. It seems the waitress should of told me this info. when she asked what type I wanted .I was disappointed with the situation that I was charged for the waitresses mistake.

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!
Clayton Wright Coker
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.
Mohamed Houssam
Very good food and service.one of the best authentic Mexican food in dallas.
Joyce Fennewald Springer
Was good except not hot enough (stove hot, not flavor hot). Had to send it back to get it rewarmed. Three of the four of us enjoyed their meals. First time here. Terrible parking however.
Dijea Coplin
I’ve been coming here for 20 years. It’s the best.
Sue Hastings

Michael Dickenson
Excellent neighborhood gem. Great service. Fresh food in an old school style.

Vegetable enchiladas are amazing! Wonderful service. We will be back.
Peggy Fogus Thornhill
My husband and I have known Raphael over 44 years. He is absolutely the best. We absolutely love this place as well as the previous one. The food is outstanding and the service is great. Love, love, love Rapha's!
Randy Katz
It's my go-to spot. Great "San Antonio" style Tex-Mex with fantastic service. Go about once a week and I'm never disappointed.
Lisa Osborne Long
Good lacked flavor and tortilla are not actually home made as it says on menu.
Dianne Wallace
We've been coming here for years! Love the food and the service is impeccable! We go at least once a week!!!
Bettina Ernst
Go here pretty much monthly. Family run, good food, good prices - can't go wrong here!
John Osborn
Friendliest people and most excellent food. The chips and salsa are the best in town. Memorable; anytime I take friends, clients or agents there, they ask about it when I see them again.
Shane Shipman
Great food. Nice atmosphere. I had the sour creme chicken enchiladas.
