We love Rafa’s! We dine here weekly, as this is our all time favorite Tex Mex. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Joe has been taking great care of us for over 25 years and provides the best service! He knows exactly what we want to order without us ever saying a word, even the extra serranos and all! It’s always great to be greeted by Sofie’s sweet smile. These guys are like family and are what make this place so special to us.
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!
Cocktails are as expensive as the food. Food was fabulous! Presentation beautiful!
