El Rafas Cafe

El Rafas Cafe is a Mexican restaurant in San Antonio that serves Tex-Mex dishes made with care and homemade quality. The menu includes brisket plates, large tacos with various fillings, Carne Guisada with cheese, enchiladas, chilaquiles, and huevos rancheros, all prepared with attention to flavor and portion size.

The cafe was founded in 2002 by Ubaldo and Maria with the intention to share their love for family and food. Over more than two decades, it has grown in reputation within the San Antonio community and become known for consistent quality and care in every meal served.

The restaurant takes its name from Rafa, the father of one of the owners, reflecting a strong connection to Mexican roots and family values. It serves as a gathering place where people come together not just to eat but to share moments and strengthen bonds with loved ones.

The restaurant has simple, welcoming spaces where you can relax and enjoy your meal. It also offers online ordering for pickup or delivery, giving you flexibility in how you access the menu.

The brisket plate is served with generous portions that include brisket, rice, salad, beans, chicharron, and bacon, known for being very filling. This combination shows how the restaurant pairs substantial portions with affordable prices, making it popular with budget-conscious diners.
