Best cozy spot for consistent Mexican and excellent margaritas! Their queso is amazing and the classic margarita is solid. Rafas was my favorite spot when I went to SMU. I loved coming back after 14 years! Can’t wait to come back again soon!

Rafa’s Cafe Mexicano is one of my favorite Tex-Mex spots in Dallas! The food is consistently delicious with generous portions and authentic flavor — from the sizzling fajitas to their tasty puff tacos and great chips & salsa. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a perfect place for lunch or dinner. I also love that they’ve been serving up great Mexican food since 1975 — you can tell they know what they’re doing! Highly recommend stopping by for a meal here!

Served me raw fish and shrimp, then proceeded to stick me with the bill. It’s gone down hill.

This was an awesome experience. I wish I had taken pictures of the food. Authentic food, authentic ambience and an establishment that's been there for a long time. Just good basic Mexican food. Love the chips and salsa. Definitely will be back.

Exact Mexican spot I’ve been searching for in Dallas. Salsa, Queso, and Quesadillas are fantastic
Best TexMex is Dallas, hands down. I've been going for over 20 years, and I've never had a bad meal or experience, not even once. Everything on the menu is delicious, and the spicy queso cannot be beat. Go hungry - the pan fried tacos, carnolas, enchiladas, fajitas, and tacos al carbon are all delicious. Love the mango margaritas, as well. The staff are all wonderful, and service is consistently excellent. I think Rafa's might just be my favorite restaurant in Dallas!

We love Rafa's and have enjoyed their food for many years. They have the best sour cream chicken enchiladas I've ever had! My husband loves their beef fajitas.
