Rafa's Tacos - 0/10 worst burrito I've had in a while - Tacos Near Me - Modesto, California

I had a young lady recommended this food truck to me. I ordered a chicken burrito, and it had good flavor. They gave me three different types of salsa and some chips. The owner was very chill and easy to talk to, and was very friendly. read more

Ok, this truck was around the corner from the movie theaters- Regal. I said "why not have some tacos before the movies." I got the quesabirria plate and I thought they were good. The tortilla wasn't covered in oil and it had a good ratio of the cheese and meat. I added cilantro and onion to them, but it wasn't complete without the consume. Messy to eat, do make sure to have plenty of napkins. I was left satisfied with fingers of birria smell lol My bf's super burrito, in his words, was ok. He wasn't a big fan of the chile chipotle they used. I personally didn't like the salsa that came with my plate. Luckily it was on the side but overall, the quesabirria tacos weren't a disappointment. read more

Rafa's Tacos - Quesabirria tacos - Tacos Near Me - Modesto, California

I'll keep looking. It's good, not great or as some have said "It's the best taco truck in Medesto "...nope. Service was okay, I asked the young lady how much more it would cost for a forth quezabirria taco to be added to the 3 that came with the plate which cost $11.50 or so. $5.00 for the forth taco, maybe...no. The 3 tacos I did eat were okay, not necessarily worth the extra three miles I drove out of my way to get them. My wife's shrimp burrito was a mess. Goopy rice with 4 medium sized shrimp stuffed perfectly in a huge tortilla, I didn't score any points there! They did have a small shade canopy with two tables for getting out of the sun. Nice. The truck itself was clean enough as was the lot it sat on. Overall, it's just okay. Wouldn't go out of my way again to revisit just okay. Last words...still looking for that one truck! read more

I used to frequent Rafas almost every day during the pandemic when they were in Empire. Then he moved to McHenry near the Modesto Walmart. I usually ordered the pastor tacos and today I was in the area, stopped by and ordered 3 Pastor Tacos. Came with pickled carrots, delicious grilled onions and a few slices of a radish. The pastor meat is wonderfully seasoned and man, I miss this place so much! Tasted so darn good! Can't recommend this place enough read more

Love the service and they always treat me like family. The food has great flavor and they give healthy servings.

Food is ok but the music is way too loud. Extremely obnoxious. I overheard multiple customers complaining about it.

Best Mexican food i have had. This place genuinely so good. I order a quesadilla and everything was so flavorful and good. The food literally put a a smile on my face and every bite I wanted to moan. Literally that good. I also got orchata very good if you like sweet refreshments. Will return again read more

Over priced and nasty! I got a asada super burrito and it was so small like a regular burrito. Had more beans and long grain rice than anything. Didn't see no sour cream or anything. Wish I read the reviews first! I would have ate the bbq truck across the way! read more

They are on their own schedule. Placed an order for pick up, truck isn't even there. Called many times; no answer or call back. Yet they took my money and let me place an order. Inconsiderate of people's time and money, do better. read more

Not a fan of the prices. Not to take away from his business but it's pretty expensive for a food truck. Restaurant prices but at least I'd get the free chips and salsa at a restaurant. We ordered the birria tacos and the meat was a little on the skimpy size. Nothing special about the flavor. It was good, but I was just disappointed with the pricing. read more

The quesabirria is the best in town. Rafa is a great guy and the service is always excellent.

Every other Thursday , I have an appointment that precludes me from making breakfast at home . So I usually order from the Community Hospice cafe, good food reasonable prices , I order on line and send one of my people to pick it up, put this particular morning, I missed the order deadline for breakfast. So I need to run an errand and I thought breakfast burrito! Late enough it was kind of like a brunch meal .. so I stopped into Taco house, in the WalMart plaza on McHenry .. no one greeted me , no one at counter, could hear people in back , but no one responded to my hello so I left , thought now what .. there at the end of the driveway I saw the Orange trailer and the doors were up , so I stopped at Rafa's Taco. Ordered Chorizo breakfast burrito. I was very happy with the burrito, great flavor , displayed some knife skills with that chop on the filling , noticed another review used word minced , for this particular dish that is best part , sure it probably saves the owner some $ on ingredients, but it was nice to have the chorizo evenly cooked and dispersed in the filling .. got a bag of garnish on side , lime, carrot, radish and two small containers of a green salsa. The salsa lacked a little heat but was ok overall Really enjoyed the food and will return to try other items. Thanks Rafa read more

BEWARE: Food is undercooked & you can get sick. I used to get tacos from this food truck on McHenry but after ordering lengua and tripa tacos I will never go here again and don't recommend anyone else to. The food was undercooked and the quality and service has only gotten worse. I don't know if the owners hired new cooks that don't know how to cook the food but I was very disappointed with the food and they will not get my business anymore. Such a shame for a food truck that has so much potential. read more

Hurry up and wait! My second time ordering and the service is very slow it's one person in the truck and Uber eats being priority over your order. I waited 30 minutes and still waiting. I would have left, but I already paid. This will be my last visit to this location. read more

Amazing asada fries the drinks were wonderful the seating is well done and the burritos were phenomenal amazing I would definitely go and eat there again (ps I couldn't get a photo cause I ate the food so fast ) read more

Not good but fast. Highly don't recommend the birria tacos. Unless you want dry meats. Also, Expensive. $50 for two plates of birria which is only 6 very small tacos and a decent burrito with a ton of potatoes. All the things shouldn't be this expensive. It's a shame they're number 2 on here for birria in Modesto. Absolute shame. read more

Cool little taco truck just next to Walmart in modesto. $1.75 a taco with all Ruth right taco condiments. Carnitas also good with the right amount of bark. The thing I liked about these tacos is that they did not just grill the tacos, but they added a little carnitas juice on the grill to give the tortillas a great flavor. #spicemeister approved tacos. read more

Overall, the food was good. I do feel the Birria tacos were more on the blander side. I would definitely give this place another try, though. The service was fast, and the gentleman helping us was helpful with any questions we had. It was a taco truck, so the ambiance was outdoorie, but a huge plus was there was not trash everywhere. read more

One of the best taco trucks I've been to in a cool minute! The service was great, I called ahead and placed my order, they told me to sing by in 20 minutes and I just picked up my food on arrival. They're located in a car dealership parking lot, there's some chairs and tables with napkins to sit at while you wait, or you could just wait in your car, and the truck is a very identifiable bright Orange trailer so you wouldn't misidentify it. The food was sensational, absolutely delicious! I demolished my loaded nacho fries and tacos when I got home. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Ehh it was ok wasn't like bad but wasn't good.id spend my money else where. I was craving the Birria tacos and it just didn't satisfy my craving. It came with the weird sauce like a peanut butter hot sauce didn't match well with the tacos. Tacos were soggy it just wasn't it for me. Hate to say this but this place is a pass or me. read more

Great food! Was in the area, decided to stopped by and it was well worth it! Recommend giving this small business a chance.

My new go to taco spot in Modesto! I had carne asada tacos and my girlfriend had carne asada fries and quesabirria. Everything so good and flavorful, and great customer service. There is a building right next to it with tables and chairs for dine in. Also the tacos had this green sauce which was very good and with a spicy kick. $1.50 for tacos $8.50 for quesabirria $8.00 for carne asada fries Very satisfied, will definitely be back again. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu. read more

Service was slow. I ordered a regular asada burrito with everything. It was so salty and the onion flavor overpowered the entire burrito. I couldn't tell if they added the salsa. I also did not receive lime/lemons/jalapeños. In this case the lemon/lime was necessary due to the amount of salt. The quality of the meat was not the best either. read more

We've been here at least 5 times in 2023. They are really good!!! And we want to keep going but we are getting tired of their inconsistencies. 9 times out of 10 they are out of my favorite carnitas by 3pm!! It never fails, and is such a bummer after you drive out of your way to go this particular truck (on Mc Henry) versus going to 30 other taco trucks in Modesto but choose this one. When we ask them for extra salsa they roll their eyes and RARELY give us even one for 8 tacos. Same with the limes, if you ask they have a fit and NEVER give you more then 3 baby 1/4's for 8 tacos. Their taco truck tacos are 3 bucks now, the least they can do is throw a few little baby limes in the bag so I can squeeze them on the tacos. I love them lime on the tacos. read more

This was my first time coming here. I had chicken tacos. They tasted horrible. They were drenched in salt the tacos had no flavor and tasted horrible very salty I ended up throwing them away! read more

This is my 2nd time at Rafa's and it was just as good as the first time. If, you're looking into trying this place you should. This is true authentic Mexican food. He has a huge selection of great choices the typical..Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas. Then his options expand to flautas, Enchiladas, tostadas, Tortas, Nachos, Carne Asada Fríes, Sopes so many options. He also offers healthy options lettuce wrap tacos and other items.. The meat selections were asada, chicken, al pastor, chorizo, birria, carnitas and if I'm not mistaken there were more. I have tasted the asada tacos, quesabirrias, carnitas tacos and al pastor tacos and they were good. I dislike when I eat tacos and they have the nerve and fat attached to the meat these tacos did not and that was a huge plus. The tortillas were dipped in a consomé and were nice and crunchy. Thank you Rafa's! Even better you can eat inside and there's clean restrooms available too. read more

It's one thing to experience the first experience that highlighted and gave you mind blowing reaction that made you want to come back. However, then you start coming back and you find the inconsistencies so you mention it and they listen and then months later after you eat their weekly, it just doesn't cut it! Told the owner that I appreciate the flavor however, guacamole, sour cream they add to it as part of the super burrito should be consistent and when I order burrito after a burrito etc. etc. and it's dry and bland that's not a super burrito and he don't care and I don't care anymore, I'm annoyed because I spoke up And they agreed only to appease me verbally. Try your luck lol. read more

This is one of among best taco truck in the valley. You probably think differently but till you order their food. You will understand why I come here all the time. Why? I have never experienced disappointment from this truck like ever. I am love in with their Birria tacos, Birria ramen for chilly days, they are going start doing breakfast burritos. Whew, I'm seeing this truck tomorrow morning. I'm currently devouring Rafa's Quesabirria. Ugh I'm in love. Its very special! It's all love and you truly can taste it!

I ordered 5 Tacos and my wait time was hour long and they didn't even know what my order was and they kept asking me what I ordered and what I want in my tacos. It was very frustrating. The meat was dry and tasteless. The truck area was dirty and I seen roaches and flies by the truck. The people working inside the truck was not wearing face coverings and was not complying with COVID guidelines. read more

Not the best in the 209 but not the worst. Everytime i go and order food the staff is super nice and accommodating, the area is always very clean which is surprising for being a food truck, they care about cleanliness and though their wait time is about 20-30 minutes, they do give awesome amounts of meat and portions. They deliver a good enough quality to the point of satisfaction, and even if we over order, food will always get finished! Dont sleep on this truck its a nice little gem. I only wish the truck was more of a late night/am type of joint for when i go drinking with my buddies or wanna bring my wife and siblings late at night. Another thing is for it to be consistently open and be open on the times it says itll be open. Other than that its an awesome truck. Recommend the quesabirria, for sure its the star of the menu! Cant wait to try more read more

Had 3 tacos de asada and they were delicious!! Friendly service as well. Will definitely be back.

The food is overpriced, considering the quality of food isn't all that great and they skimp on the meat portions. The service wasn't that much better in my opinion. They care more about getting through their orders than they do about the quality/care of the food and the full completion of the order. You can find better food elsewhere read more
