    Catfish with rice & beans
    Katheryn T.

    Looking for Cajun flare in Anchorage that is not a tourist trap? Look no further! This place is legit! The best fried catfish. The rice & beans is pretty tasty too! The hubbie ordered the jambalaya and it's delicious. The staff is super friendly and nice! The establishment is clean!

    Fried okra

    It's a small business restaurant but enough room to enjoy your meal & beverage. When you walk in the smell is amazing! The staff is extreme attentive and courteous and helpful to make your decision. I highly recommend and will return.

    Jambalaya
    Rosi R.

    I have been to the south as I lived in Mississippi for a year and had been to New Orleans a decent amount of times. I feel bad for writing such a bad review but maybe it was just what I had gotten? The service was lovely and the owner I believe? Was very kind. The place was really nice and clean, definitely has a modern southern vibe to it. Here's the thing: the food! The picture showed is jambalaya and if you have had jambalaya before you know it looks very... different then what's pictured. For $20 as well I'd say that's kind of a stretch. It was steamed rice with yellow and red peppers. The chicken was okay and the sausage tasted like charred reindeer sausage? I'm not sure. Regular jambalaya consists of chicken, andouille sausage, celery, onion, and green bell pepper. It was very disappointing flavor and price wise. But because of the service I'll probably go back to try something else and change my mind.

    This place is so cute ! The service is above superb !!! The food is amazing flavourful. We got the crab legs and let me tell you those were some real crab legs ! Highly recommend this place if you are in Anchorage Alaska.

    Beer is expensive and uninspiring
    Andrew H.

    The service here is really spotty. When I came on 9/10/21, we sat here for 20 minutes and...no one ever served us. I came here yesterday, and service was fast and friendly until it came time to pay, I never got the check so I just walked up to the counter. When I came here on 9/10/21 the beers were $6. Now they are $9, a 50% increase. The beers are pretty ho-hum with lots of them being from the incredibly mediocre Alaskan Brewing out of Juneau. I got the jambalaya and it was very good! The jambalaya and catfish are really the only single-person dishes. Everything else is ala carte and/or very expensive. There is a bucket that costs $150, but only feeds 2-3 people. If you really like jambalaya, definitely give this place a shot! Otherwise, it just kind of feels like a tourist trap.

    Customer service was so attentive and you can tell they really care about giving you the best meal. I got the build your own bucket with shrimp, sausage, and potatoes. DELICIOUS! The lobster dip was phenomenal with the warm garlic bread. ‍ chefs kiss to this place.

    Shrimp, sausage, potato
    Jannah B.

    I loved the shrimp! Well seasoned! Their sweet iced tea is also really good. Oh and their French fries!! It was so crispy. Must try the French fries!

    Came down here for lunch earlier while running errands. Rafelitos is located on W. 91st Ave and…read moreKing St. between Costco and Target at the old Fire Island bakery location behind the Anchorage Brewery. The dining area has high ceilings surrounded by glass windows. This is great during sunny days, but during winter, when daylight is short, it can be blinding from the west side when the sun goes down. The glare was especially strong when ordering at the counter and even the cooks in the kitchen had a difficult time as the grills face the dining area with the sun right in their faces. The employees were friendly and extremely busy as they were helping customers in the dining area as well as a private party next door. Rather than a physical copy of the menu, there are screens above the front counter displaying the menu selections to place your order. I ordered the Weekend Special of Birria Tacos and Consomme (hand-pressed fried corn tortillas with brisket and back rib meat, cilantro, and onions accompanied with a cup of bone marrow consomme for dipping) and a friend of mine who came along ordered the Carnitas Taco Special at $7.50/crispy or soft taco. We found a table close to the front door and fortunately seats facing away from the afternoon glare. All the tables are long bar-style tables with stools which takes up a lot of space when you're navigating to the counter to place an order. Dining tables for a party of 2-4 would be more ideal in a setting like this. The 15 minute wait was reasonable, given how busy the kitchen was with diners and takeout orders being worked on. The food was delicious. The Birria Tacos were juicy and tender with melted cheese and the Consomme added additional flavor akin to au jus for a French Dip sandwich. My friend enjoyed the Carnitas Tacos. What made this order unique was that the Carnitas included what looked like bacon bits and pork belly in the tacos. That looked amazing. I will have to try that out on the next visit. Some of the standout selections include the Street Corn (topped with mayo, Cotija cheese, tortilla strips and salsa Macha), Pork Belly Tacos (roasted garlic, jalapeno aioli, shaved cabbage, cilantro, and salsa), 1lb. Burritos with choice of meat on a 13-inch(!!!) flour tortilla with cilantro, onions, and two sides of salsa...( We all know how big a 10-in pizza from Moose's Tooth looks like, so you can imagine how big this burrito is at 13-in AND you have an option for extra meat!), and the Chocoflan (chocolate cake topped with flan, whipped cream, and a cherry). It should be noted that this establishment originated in Tijuana and got the inspiration for their recipes working with well-known Mexican chefs throughout the country.

    Trivia: Ralfy Quepons, according to Rafelitos story on their website, grew up where?…read more Seriously great food. I was not prepared for the shear quality and flavor. I wasn't prepared for the ordering process. It was kind of a mess. Let me explain: I walked in and the first table full of people was REALLY close to the door. Threw me off. I worked my way around them. Then I walked past the kitchen/cooking area toward the thing that made the most sense. The bar area. There was a register, a counter, and a person...looking at me. But no. He told me to order at the other counter. So I walked over and grabbed the paper menu lying on the counter. But it wasn't a menu, it was their produce order from Charlie's produce. So I stood there awkwardly until someone asked to take my order and I asked for the menu, which was above me on a tv screen. And that's the last bad thing. Now I'll know. (And so do you) Amazing food. Cold beer. You'll love it.

Located on a very small strip mall is this tiny shop (we actually drove right past it and had to u-turn). They post a daily special outside of the door. Walking in, you go to the cashier, order/pay and then grab a seat and wait for them to bring you your food. Tip - grab your table before you order because it fills up and that is what we observed everyone else doing otherwise you run the gamut of no seat to eat at. This place is tacos tacos tacos. I tried the chicken (x2) tacos and the nopal (cactus). The chicken was really good. Tender, juicy and flavorful with the salsas. The cactus was decent, but i felt could use more spices/seasoning. Definitely like the hot sauce more than the mild. The hot tasted like mild and i thought the mild salsa was sort of like a bland V8. Staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. For me, this will be a must return spot to try all of their other taco options and the daily specials like the soups which we saw multiple bowls come out of the kitchen. Remember, everyday should be taco Tuesday and if you are looking for a good and casual meal, give Tacos El Primo a try!

I would describe the interior as "spartan" and not really cosy. It didn't have that eclectic colourful look common to many Mexican restaurants, and nor were they playing the Mexican kind of music either. Tables and chairs were plain wood. Their large parking lot was full, however when we got inside, only one other table was occupied, so I'm not sure who was using their parking lot, but it wasn't diners. It was brightly lit though, and we got a table near the window so I could look outside. Considering only two tables were occupied, it took an inordinately long time for someone to come and take our order. I ordered the Southwest Tacos (crispy) and asked for ground beef, these were $5, I wasn't really sure how many would be served, and assumed possibly two? I also order the Parmesan cilantro fries to be my side. Husband got the Serrano's Burrito with carnitas, this came with rice and beans. We also ordered chips and salsa which was served immediately. There were lots of chips, 3 salsas and pico de gallo. The food came out very quickly, and our server was very nice. I got 1 taco (had I known I was only getting 1, I'd have paid extra to get 2) Ok, the positive - the fries were plentiful, and nice and crispy, but I was disappointed that the Parmesan was the kind out of a jar, that you shake on. I had built myself up to melted grated Parmesan, and I didn't find much cilantro either, and I love cilantro. Fortunately there was plenty in the salsa, and so I just dipped my fries in that. My taco was disappointing. The ground beef was bland, lacked seasonings, and the taco was just not very filled with things. He loved his Burrito, pronounced it delicious. I tried his rice and beans. The rice was decent, but the beans were too smooth and homogenous for my taste - I like them to have some lumpy bits of bean in. Another plus - they were playing really good music. Totally my taste (but not my husbands) as I like more modern music. Current tunes, stuff I'd have on my playlist in my car, to torture my husband with, so i liked that. Good. Service, after initially waiting a while, and food came out fast after we ordered + decent music. Food could be improved though.
