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. This place at least gives you an expected amount of meat in your burrito. The location could be considered 'hole in the wall' but that does not bother me and I like to support local small businesses. I will be back here!

They also support their local first responders by letting them eat free on Sunday ^_^ We've catered them many times and the food is excellent. I ordered three tacos: carnitas, asada, and shrimp. They were not stingy with the meat and I love that they add pickled veggies and turnips on the side. Each was loaded and their red sauce is nice and spicy. 100% recommend them!

Has become my favorite Mexican spot EASILY!…read more Lots of Bay Area competition on this and I know, extremely arguable. But I've been here 8 times in the last 3 weeks.... Burritos are heavy and delicious. Flavor in every bite! Only gotten burritos and horchata and that's honestly all you need. Horchata isn't gritty. Is the perfect balance of sweet and creamy. I've had asada, grilled chicken and shredded chicken burritos. I can't decide between the asada and the GRILLED chicken. Which is why I've gone back so many times haha! I would recommend calling ahead of time because there can be a 15-20 minute wait when it gets busy! Good amount of seating, probably 40 people max for the building so a good small/ medium amount of space. Not for a party of 10+ in my opinion. Great Spot! 10/10

I got two tacos...1 tripas and 1 Pollo Asada and shrimp/steak burrito. The tripas one had a sour old three week big intestines...uncooked and sour..the pollo asada was stale meat from three week ago...so gross. Now the burrito was the worst ever..and soon as you open the foil .you could smell the sourb smell. I knew I had better eat it. I would be splashio all night. I was so disappointed after spending $30.00 for this shyt. They should be sued for this crap. It was the worst I have ever had. I need my money back. It was a rip off. Look at this crap!

The bar is located in the front of the restaurant so you can either enjoy it there or grab a seat afterwards.

The food and drinks were good, prices are very reasonable and the staff were friendly. I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the place and can't wait to go back!

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.
