Since the early 80's, long before moving to their present location, my family has eaten at Rafael's, often. If you are really hungry and want to love every bite, this is the best there is. Nix franchizes. Appetizers=10. Any plate you choose, i.e., the dish you like=10. Strawberry-Banana Colladas=10. World-Class Flan=10. Home-made salsa=10. Clean, professional kitchen=10. And, guess who is always quietly whisk-brooming crumbs out front? Yep, it's the owners, themselves. They fear the rookies (non-owners) won't get the carpet presentable enough.
Pros: No beer, Closed on Sundays, Big families OK
Cons: Waiter turnover , Scones are too good, FriedIceCreamtoogood
