El Rafas Cafe — Restaurant in San Antonio

To begin with, they do not offer sweet tea, only unsweet, if that is a concern of yours then this isn't the place for you(wether that changes in the future I can't say, will have to find out when I have a chance to eat here again). Chips and Salsa weren't served as a complimentary like most places, but that isn't a negative, just making note of it for people who do care for it. They do have tobasco sauce, and their red salsa wasn't bad, not the best tomato based salsa I've had but not bad, I definitely think their green salsa was better, both weren't spicy too me though. The tortillas that they offered as part of the meal were thick and large, so you'll definitely find some big tacos here, but I had the Chicken Fajita Plate, which comes with refried beans, salad with guacamole on top, and rice. The rice was good, refried beans were ok, guacamole is always good!, The fajita(chicken) itself wasn't not bad, a bit dry but flavor wise it wasn't bad. Waitress was friendly. I would like to come again to try out their other foods, the gordita my sister ordered looked pretty good! So I'll be back to...

I will never come back to this place. We ordered the huevos rancheros. The waitress asked me how I wanted my eggs? She asked if I wanted them ?????. I looked at her and said what is that? It was in Spanish. I told her over easy. I also said can I get an extra side of salsa so when she brought out the food there was no salsa on our plates just a little side of salsa! We told her we wanted salsa on our eggs but all she brought back was a side of salsa. Our fries were very greasy! And to top it off the food wasn’t hot! These waitresses stink at there job I dont like that most of them speak Spanish dont assume we all know Spanish. I feel that the waitresses and people at register are not very polite. Today was the last day coming to this place. I should have gone somewhere else....

Probably my favorite place for breakfast tacos. The tortillas remind me of big, puffy white clouds of amazing loveliness. Reminds me of the way my mom used to make them.

The tacos are big and it makes me feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

My favorites are the picadillo and carne guisada. The carne guisada is awesome: huge chunks of lean meat that’s tender and sumptuous, and the gravy is like liquid serenity—you think I’m kidding.

Rafa’s is always clean and the service is always wonderful. It’s another place where the waitstaff humors my attempts to speak Spanish. They know I give it my best, and usually get a patient smile as I work my way through the order.

I highly recommend Rafa’s. E est no regular resturante, e est muy bueno para seimpre y siempre! (Did I get...
