My visiting daughter picked El Rafa's Cafe for dinner last night and we were super-pleased. On a Monday evening by the time we left at 7 it was getting towards full, and everybody else seemed to know each other. Lucky locals! Three of us had the Rafa special (two white cheese enchiladas, carne guisada, rice, one crispy taco, one chalupa), the carne asada plate and the enchiladas verdes plate. All excellent. The green sauce on the enchiladas verdes is the best we've ever had anywhere. Carne guisada was lean and tender. Carne asada was perfectly cooked. Everything was very flavorful. You choose corn or flour tortillas for the table--although the flour tortillas are locally famous, last night we had the corn tortillas, which were delicious, tender and extra-large. Service is quick and very pleasant. Decor is plain and clean, no kitsch, with red and gold walls. Groups of any size can easily rearrange the tables for four. Great food, great prices! Be sure to check the board on the wall or the back of the paper menu by the cash register up front for the daily special--some of those dishes aren't on the main menu. M-Sat 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun. 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
