The parking lot was packed so we weren't surprised to find a busy dining room. We were told it would be a 15 minutes wait but it was actually closet to 5 minutes. Service was friendly and attentive - I ordered a coffee and it was refilled constantly throughout the entire meal which I appreciate. You'd be surprised how often that little detail gets ignored at other breakfast/brunch places. I ordered the Birria hash and it was a lovely surprise - very flavorful with tender, juicy beef over crispy fried potatoes. I loved the different sauces, salsa, pickled onions, and even sour cream self-service bar from which I helped myself to some of their delicious avocado sauce and molcajete sauce. My companion said her crab Benedict was delicious and very filling. Food portions were generous, I had enough food to take home with me for a second meal. The ambiance of the place was impressive - sort of a modern Mexican feel with some fun details like the grocery items lined up on the wall above the registers. I will definitely be back to try some of the intriguing menu items I didn't get a chance to try. I didn't have any room left to try dessert so I'll have to do that next time!

I have had the mini chimis from the food truck and really liked them so I thought it would be a perfect lunch place. Unfortunately the food wasn't very tasty. Everything tasted a bit off - the steak fajitas, the quesadilla, tiny tacos the meat was flavorless and my beloved chimis had an off flavor. To me the steak fajitas almost tasted a bit of teriyaki to them, which I wasn't a fan. We were really bummed and my partner mentioned we could've made it at home and it would've been tastier. I have to agree with him. The prices were pretty good too despite the rising costs of everything

I asked for shrimp added to a meal and I received 3 shrimp and was never notified that they're added one at a time. Never asked how many shrimp I wanted, never notified of the insane up-charge. Whoever decided this price should be the first admitted when mental asylums re-open. Wasting my hard earned dollar on shit food. I'm embarrassed to admit I even ate here now knowing what I know. Probably the worst mexican in all AK, maybe all of the west coast? Do you want better mexican? Go to El Pastor, Blazing Street Tacos, or Xalos. No reason you should go here unless you want to clog their toilet as a gift.

I would say this one distinguishes themselves by their presentation. You get a box that is beautifully laid out with rice and beans. They also do a house-made hot sauce that seems to be haberno based. I VASTLY prefer this to all the Tex-Mex-style Mexican brick-and-mortar restaurants we have in town where they bring you a ramekin of salsa they probably poured out of a gallon jug. (if you ask for "hot sauce" they will say something like "is Tabasco OK?" or "tabasco or Tapatio?"...ugh) Sorry for the rant, the point is: their house-made sauce is awesome! I caught this truck at Onsite Brewing. Check their social media for where to catch them next!

Jicama shrimp tacos...yumm! I could go on and on, but you just need to go there!

Wanted to come here as I'd seen that they had Parmesan cilantro fries on the appetizer menu, and…read morethis was a new-to-me restaurant, and I love fries that are *extra* so I thought we'd give it a whirl. 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.

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.

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.
