    Al pastor burrito

    My husband brought me a burrito from here and this is how I asked him to order it for me. Burrito alpastor Rice Refried beans Sour cream Pico de gallo Guacamole Salsa roja "First bite, I hit a huge glob of refried beans. I tried to work around it by cutting it open and scooping some out, but the burrito was honestly inedible. There was so much grease that it was even all over the rice. Just looking at it made me lose my appetite, and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Unfortunately, it ended up going in the trash." My suggestion if you dnt mind eating heavy oily greasy food order this here but if not. Order else where.

    Posole has arrived. Just in time for this cold weather. Ordered to go! They give you a lot for the price; with chips, radish and cabbage, limes and hot chili oil (if you like it spicy). The flavor is good, tons of meat but far too many bones and not enough hominy. The crunchy taco shells have changed- for the better. Bigger and crispier. Ordered 2 chicken tacos (not pictured). Service and ambience are always good. Parking is a little congested, but be patient - it's worth it.

    Wonderful quick lunch. I like this location a lot. The people are consistently kind and welccoming and the food is always good. Thank you!

    Steak plate my boyfriend has not gotten off bathroom And I got the enchiladas plate with birria meat,corn and beans and feel super sick.

    I had a very disappointing experience last night. My boyfriend and I came in near closing time because we didn't realize they were about to close -- we had been out all night and were exhausted. The woman taking our order was extremely rude and unwelcoming. The only positive part of the experience was the kind lady at the register who checked me out. Unfortunately, it got worse when we got home. I found hair in my food, and my boyfriend couldn't even eat his steak plate because it tasted like it had been sitting under eggs all day. It was completely unappetizing. To make matters worse, we left an extra $8 tip, only to come home to hair in the food and a meal that seemed spoiled. Very disappointing overall.

    That's a small two pieces of bone

    Food: was great but my burrito had bones in them, which caused tooth issue for me Service: was good first time coming here Ambiance: really nice

    We came here for food after a hike. The food was pretty good. There was a large order that came in ahead of us. The way the workers were organized, it was hard for me to manage paying for all the different people in our party and the workers got upset with me it seemed. I couldn't explain in Spanish what I was trying to do, so um... the worker made me feel a little uncomfortable and I just said "Yes" to whatever she said which apparently conflicted with something, because she ended up just setting a tray of food down angrily which in my culture is very upsetting. At one point they were lacking some meat even though I paid for it and then all of a sudden it was available, maybe they just gave me random meat, I have no idea and at that point I didn't really care, because I was so stressed out. So I would order here, but online so I can avoid interacting with the workers. Otherwise, the food is very good. The different flavored horchatas were just OK though, mostly just sugary so I wouldn't order that again.

    First time here and I loved the ground beef burrito bowl that I had. Very flavorful and packed full with any custom additions. I had a mango juice as well and it was delish!

    Menu 2 of 2 (May 2024)

    Came on a Friday at 2 PM, and the place was mostly empty. Ordered at the counter, service was prompt and helpful. They make your food in front of you and have a huge selection of toppings and vegetables, so you can customize. My boyfriend got 3 tacos, which comes with little cups of rice and beans but no chips. I got a California burrito. The menu says you can choose from chicken or steak, but I was able to get carnitas with no issue. I think they treat all meats as interchangeable except for lengua and seafood, which have an upcharge. The meat portions for the tacos are very generous, but unfortunately the meats weren't well-seasoned. My boyfriend liked the carne asada best, but felt the chicken was chopped too small and thus got too dry. The al pastor pork was too sweet for his taste, but others may prefer that. My burrito was decent, I liked that the fries were freshly fried, which made a welcome crispy contrast to the meat. The carnitas was plentiful, but again, not super flavorful. The addition of corn was unique, but I couldn't pick out any individual flavors from the Serrano aioli or "secret sauce." All in all, service, prices, and portions were on point. We might come again to try different meats.

    Put in a DoorDash order and 2 things were missing .... One my drink and other the protein on my papa loca fries . Try to call the store and it was dropping the call... I have given this place a lot of chances but it's always something. .... This is my last time ordering anything from this place .

    All of this for less than five dollars.

Believe me, I've been to MANY other burrito places around and most all of them just give you a beans and rice burrito with a tiny bit of meat.

I grabbed a burrito here and ate it inside the movie theater with the red salsa and lemon, and it was so good I ate the entire thing. For context, I'm pretty petite and I usually can't finish a full burrito--but this one? I couldn't stop. It was that good. Super flavorful, satisfying, and just hit the spot in a way I wasn't expecting. At first, I thought it was a little pricey, but once you get the burrito, it makes sense. It's dense, filling, and honestly a big burrito--you're getting your money's worth. I've already been recommending this place to my friends, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for genuinely good food. I'm excited to come back and try more items on the menu. So good. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the East Bay.

The pizza took 20 minutes to make so by the time we got there it was ready. It's a great portion for a large at only $30! The plaza the store is in is a little ghetto but not like fear for your life ghetto. The interior of the restaurant is like the typical Mexican restaurant, smells great as soon as you walk in, friendly Spanish speaking staff, and great food. The meat is flavorful, the consome compliments it so well, and enough cheese to keep the slice together. I wish they somehow were able to double up the tortilla so it was more firm so you could hold the slide like an actual piece of pizza. It gets a little messy but it's worth it

I opted for a Super Burrito de Pollo at Don Rafa prior to their cutoff/closing time. Their burrito did not disappoint! I loved the way it was wrapped securely and grilled to perfection. Though this spot is known for their chicken, I didn't really experience anything unique about this wrapped meal. It was delicious and tasted how it should be, but I was hoping the "star" of this meal would be their chicken. I ate my burrito immediately and it was served at a decent temp. Perhaps, I'll give Don Rafa a 2nd chance and order a half (or whole chicken). The Birria Pizza looked appetizing as well. Don Rafa is located inside of the Food Barn Market and reminds me of a Latino version of a Pacific Supermarket. The restaurant appears somewhat modern, tidy and spacious, while the rest of the market area seems outdated.

The menu offers a good variety of Mexican inspired dishes, from tacos and birria ramen and burritos. Everything we tried had great flavor and was clearly made fresh. The sauces, seasoning and overall balance of the dishes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered quite a few items including quesabirria, shrimp tacos, a burrito and birria ramen. The shrimp tacos were especially flavorful, topped with a creamy sauce that paired really well with the shrimp. The quesabirria tacos also had that nice crispy texture with the rich birria flavor that people look for. The restaurant itself is clean, organized and well set up, with outdoor seating available which is nice on a sunny day. It has a relaxed vibe where you can sit down with friends and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The only thing I noticed across several of the dishes was that the portions of meat felt a little light compared to the tortilla or toppings. The flavor is absolutely there, but a slightly more generous portion of meat would make these dishes even better. Overall, solid spot with great flavor and a fun menu. With just a little more generosity on the protein portions, this place could easily be a standout taco spot.
