I waited in line about 10 minutes and 40 more minutes passed before my number was called. I could see four people in the kitchen, one cashier. Seating is all outside. Three tables for 8, about a dozen bar seats along the patio on the street and three more tables in the parking lot. Less seating if it's raining. All three tables of 8 received their food, finished and left before my order was ready. I saw a catering order picked up too. So patience needed. Ordering ahead is the way to go. I love fresh aqua fresca and they had pineapple, jimaica, melon and horchata. I added a slice of lime to my melon and it was tasty. I ordered a quesataco birrila and it was tasty. The crispy cheese added a nice touch however it softened once steamed under the foiled plate. One of the ways I compare Mexican restaurants is by a straight up bean and cheese burrito - and unfortunately one bite was all I took of this one. The beans had a strange flavor to them, fishy almost. If I'm in the area, I'd go back for the tacos, order ahead, get another aqua fresca and skip the burritos next time, however wouldn't make a special trip.

I stopped by after work while I was in the area, thinking it would be a quick meal. To my surprise,…read morethe staff told me it would be 25-30 minutes for just four tacos. There were people coming in, but the place wasn't extremely busy. In the end, I waited closer to 45 minutes to an hour. For just four tacos, that seemed like an extremely long wait. On the plus side, the staff were kind and friendly. I ordered the tacos al pastor and tacos de cabeza. Both were pretty decent, but nothing special. The tables weren't wiped down, although there is a sign asking customers to clean up after themselves, and I'm sure many people don't. The staff seemed busy, so I understand. This appears to be a popular spot with locals. I can't blame the staff too much, as they seemed to have a lot of orders to prepare for people picking up their food.

I've never seen this done before but I like that they had tostadas on the plate as well - 1 tostada per two tacos - ordered 6 to split with friends after leaving a bar in Albany. It's a cute little set-up - this is a food truck with an outdoor eating area. There is limited parking for the business in their parking lot - only three spaces. However, street parking and fairly easy. The service was quick. My tacos were ready in five minutes from the time I ordered.

It's a lot of bang for you buck, but worth noting that the grilled chicken is excellent. Don't order via doordash, they'll double the cost of everything - just call the restaurant directly. Also like their birria pizza - whenever we have to feed a crowd (school potluck, hosting a large party, etc) this place is a great way to go.

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.

We also tried the tacos al vapor--both the lengua and cabeza--and they were delicious, but the cabeza tacos were definitely my favorite! The carne asada and al pastor tacos were amazing too, and I loved that everything was served on fresh handmade tortillas. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot for Mexican food. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu, especially the menudo. To top it all off, the staff was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Great food and great service--highly recommend!

I originally came for the birria, but I'll definitely be coming back for the tacos…read more The birria wasn't my favorite, it was a bit dry and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. Thankfully, the lengua tacos completely made up for it. They were tender, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. I'll definitely be ordering those again. The staff was friendly and provided great customer service, which made for a pleasant experience. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so it's better suited for individuals or small groups rather than large gatherings. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Parking can also be a little challenging depending on the time of day, but it's worth the effort. Overall, while the birria didn't win me over, the lengua tacos absolutely did. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

The staff is always incredibly friendly, the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating, and the food is consistently amazing. The tortillas are made in house, the salsas are the perfect finishing touch, and I genuinely haven't had a single thing on the menu that I didn't enjoy. The tamales are AMAZING. The fish tacos are perfect. And the beans? Chef's kiss. Honestly, even the sides deserve their own review. You can taste the time, care, and effort that goes into making everything from scratch, and the prices absolutely reflect the quality while still feeling very fair. This has become one of those places you don't just try once. You go back often. And we definitely do!
