I found myself on a recent Friday morning wanting a breakfast burrito after my workout so decided to give Rafa's a try. It's a food truck located in the parking lot at a local gas station,so plenty of parking so you're able to walk up and order with ease.This day I decided to go with the Super Breakfast Burrito featuring bacon,ham,potatoes,cheese & eggs. As usual,this burrito was excellent,i definitely recommend it as I recommend this place if you ever find yourself in that neck of the woods and want a quick bite,u can't go wrong with this spot-very solid food! read more

I came here on Tuesday morning because I was craving a breakfast taco. But the kind man let me know they don't serve breakfast tacos, but I had the most amazing bacon, egg, and cheese burrito that I have tasted in a very long time. I wish I took a picture, but just please take my word for it that this place is so bomb! It's a little food truck located in the same location as the Shell gas station. The service was great and they are very customer service driven. read more

Came here for dinner and got the carne asada fries, extra crispy, and the 4 mini tacos. I think the flavors are really good! The horchata is authentic also. This is a good spot for quick and delicious food! read more

So I haven't been to Rafa's in years! They use to be inside of the Shell gas station but now have a mini food truck right in the parking lot. I use to get the asada fries and remembering loving it. So got it this time and still tastes the same. Nice char on the asada, generous amount of meat, shredded cheese, guac, sour cream and they still use shoe string fries. They definitely increased their prices, which I think I paid $14 and some change but it's definitely filling and can be shared with 2 people. read more

I was craving some quick mexican burrito for dinner. I got a basic cheese quesadilla, chicken super burrito, and their enchilada. I would say that the chicken super burrito was okay. I would probably not come to this place again for a chicken super burrito, but will probably try something else. The basic quesadilla was about 8 bucks, but my lady said it tasted pretty good. It was a decent size for its price. The enchilada had Mole over it. It was overall decent. The food truck is extremely tiny and is on the side of the shell gas station. read more

Craving a breakfast burrito this morning before grocery shopping. We were in the Natomas area and decided to check out Rafa's for the first time. Located in a shopping center next to a Shell gas station. It has been at this location for a long time and that always says a lot! You can just park next to the little trailer and order at the window! Staff were friendly as well! There was no line and the food came out pretty fast -- nice and hot! We ordered the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and the chorizo smelt so good while they were cooking it. Loaded with potatoes, cheese, eggs and a bit of sour cream. It got a little greasy and messy towards the end, but it is a big burrito and was easily shared between 2 of us in the car before grocery shopping! I'm glad we stopped here and not the taqueria near by - check out Rafa's! read more

There menu did not reflect their current menu pricing. A 10 dollar burrito went to 13, they actually told me heating green sauce because I didn't want red....told me No!. I been heating green sauce for yrs... And we actually have gotten it there 3 times prior with the request. Boss told them it was a hazardous. ..... It was our last time there. Spread the word.,!! read more

I love this place since it was inside the gas station and I would go after school but now I can always count on them with a breakfast burrito. It might be now outside and small but it never misses. Also they're fast and super kind service overall great! read more

Came here for their super breakfast burrito. It was super hearty. We ended up paying extra to sub the ham for chorizo and boy was it worth it. Chorizo was really good and had a little kick to it. Bacon was thick cut and paired so damn well. It wasn't overly greasy either. Absolute perfection. No complaints and will definitely come back again. read more

I was excited to try something new but terribly disappointed at paying for bland food, and getting a hair! So disgusting! Please taste your food and please increase your hygiene efforts. It shouldn't be that hard. I wish more people / businesses would take pride in what they do. Please just provide a good service and good food and be passionate and if you can't then please just go out of business. read more

Ordered a Carne Asada super burrito and it was mostly beans and rice. I will pass on this spot for a burrito unless you want a lot of beans and rice and little bit of meat. read more

I have been buying from Rafa's for a long time and I can tell you that their food is actually very tasty. Their service is good. Their atmosphere is welcoming. Their problem is that the prices of all their menu items have just gotten more and more expensive. I paid over $12.00 for a chorizo and egg burrito the other day. There is no way to justify how a burrito could cost this much. I keep bringing up other establishments like La Esperanza on Franklin Blvd and encouraging people to go there instead because I'm tired of paying for things like $12.00 burritos and still feeling hungry after I'm finished. I can buy a dozen beef tamales for like $20-$24 at La Esperanza and three burritos for $12. I've had enough. read more

I returned to this stationary food trailer at a gas station because my first experience was really great... but WON'T be back! I ordered a Pastor Pork Burrito with no beans and I ordered a bean, cheese and green sauce burrito. I did not look at the menu, I just asked and the older woman took my order, which I repeated before paying. She asked for cash payment and I obliged. With tip, it came to $15.00! I waited about 10 minutes to get my order but it only had one burrito. I asked about which one was it and she said the pastor one. I asked where is my bean burrito and she looked at the receipt, that I did not receive and said you did not pay for 2 burritos. This turned into a 3-minute debate over her agreeing I asked for the bean burrito but I did not pay for it. Ultimately, I asked if she was willing to loose a returning customer over her mistake and she said, that's up to you. The KICKER. I got home and unwrapped the burrito to add salsa and it was diced sausage with gristle and fat, BEANS which I asked them to hold, no rice, no guacamole, no pica gallo and a white cream cheese mixture. I was starving so only ate half of it. Wrap Up: Poor to bad customer service, greedy owner, got only a tortilla from what I asked for and was over charged. By Pass this little trailer in a parking lot!!! read more

Great little taco trailer at the gas station that makes some tasty food with many happy repeat customers present to help confirm to the first timer that this is indeed a legitimate place to grab some great food. The folks running rafas are extremely helpful and friendly. Lastly, and most importantly, with this being a taco trailer and all, the ambience was exceptional. read more

I've driven by this trailer parked in front of the Shell Station in the Bel Air Natomas Park shopping center for years. There has always been people in line so I figured I should check them out. I ordered the 4 mini tacos (street tacos) for a measly $10.50. The carnitas had good flavor but were a little on the dry side. Based on the tacos aline Rafa definitely serves up decent Mexican food. Give them a try if you're in the area. read more

Where is the salad?? in the past the shell has been almost filled now they charge more and the shell is barely filled and stale

You're crazy if you don't at least try this out! It's a little food truck in a Shell gas station parking lot and the quality is beyond amazing. I get it... A food truck? In a gas station parking lot? But it's true! It's quality food, reasonably priced and really really good. As Americans we're trained to expect quality food from a restaurant inside a building that looks fantastic but charges a lot of money. Lay aside your prejudices, and give this place a shot. read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars. I wasn't really expecting much from this spot. It was around 8:30pm ish and we were craving some tacos in the area and Yelp led us to Rafa's Mexican Food. I wanted a fish taco but they didn't any. I went with an Adobada taco ($4.25). It came with 2 tortillas and guac, pico de gallo, and salsa. I think it's good portion for the price! I was content with my 1 taco. It looked like my other friends finished their food and had no complaints. It just didn't really wow us though. Staff was nice and service was quick. No ambiance as it was near Shell gas station. Lots of parking tho. read more

Why are all the best food spots in Sac always next to a gas station. Carne Asada Fries are so good. Similar to Pepe's in Los Angeles.

Never again! I wanted a chorizo or Carne Asada enchilada, but they were out of Carne Asada and chorizo both. I ordered a shredded beef and cheese enchilada. I ordered cheese enchiladas quite often and I have never had a cheese enchilada with basic bag shredded cheese inside. This place is not any cheaper than other restaurants and you do not get chips and salsa here. read more

I didn't think my favorite Mexican spot would be parked outside a gas station. This is a really good, affordable, yummy little spot for Mexican food! It's so convenient and the food always tastes good. The only downside is they don't give you chips but that's okay! I've been here a handful of times and it's always delicious. I get the carne asada super burritos. The thing I like most about Rafa's is the food isn't greasy and it still tastes amazing. read more

So Rafas used to be inside of Shell gas station but now since the remodel they've been moved to outside. Which I'm sure suck for them but they're still pretty efficient in that little trailer kitchen. Food is still good but honesty I dang near always order the same thing. Asada fries but with chicken instead. They give a good amount of meat and don't skimp. It's pretty good but I feel like either someone else was cooking or maybe they switched up their recipe for the shredded chicken so the last time I ordered it I didn't care for the chicken too much so that's why I had to remove a star. read more

Very good size burritos for the price!!!! Bought a carne asada with everything and it was awesome. Will definitely be returning soon.

This place used to be located inside the Shell station off Del Paso Rd. Now it's more like a food truck but the food tastes the same. I've only ordered burritos and out of nearly a dozen times, all were great except once (steak was fatty and had a lot of grizzle, making it hard to chew). I love the super carnitas and the veggie. The breakfast burrito was good but pretty greasy. Their chips and salsa are also good. This food truck is less than a mile from our house which makes it a great place to go when we don't want to cook. The burritos are pretty big and fill you up! In fact, I'm headed there now to get something for dinner. I'm sure I'll be back again and again. read more

Who woulda thought an awesome Mexican takeout inside the Shell gas station would be so awesome? It's really not the place that you can call in an order it's better to go there in person. The wait time is less than 5 minutes. A little bit of language barrier is difficult for us both, especially for someone dealing withparticular me, ok, I know what I like! They get it 75% right. Oh the chips and buenelos for counter side sale are worth it! read more

Fuck this place.. I ordered a breakfast burrito with just potatoes eggs n cheese and it was 11 bucks and SMALL as fuck... huge tortillas wrapped around 2-3 times. The prices definitely don't match the menu board.. and Mexican spots that use French fries as the potatoes in their breakfast burritos are just lazy read more

This place is not open at 7am, i was so happy to find a Mexican place that open early, drove here at 7am and the place is close. Its not even a restaurant, its a small car food. Omg i was so disappointed. Never again read more

I went to Rafa's looking for a big plate, and did they have it‼ It's a small food truck located outside of Shells unfortunately they were bought out of the actual indoor restaurant. But that's not this review. I ordered the Ranchero plate which was listed at $13.99 after tax $16+ so it is a little pricey but the food was worth it. A five minute wait with no line, the service was quick and concise. The side of flour tortilla was good, nothing outlandish. But all in all a neighborhood legend. read more

So glad Rafa's is back open! I've been looking for good Mexican food in the area ever since they closed down temporarily, but no one can compare! Don't be weary or intimidated by their unconventional location, the food is awesome. From the chorizo breakfast burritos to their carne asada nachos, everything on this menu is a solid choice that you won't regret. I personally love their asada fries or super burritos. They even take mobile orders to go, again! read more
