We were excited to try this mexican restaurant but unfortunately it was quite overhyped. Very expensive for the amount of food served and none of the food came out hot. (I had to carefully dip the chips in the queso or they would snap in half from the cheese being cool.) I did really enjoy the oil they put on top the quest though. The seating is very limited - expect to be sharing a table with strangers in a loud environment.

Had the three tacos (zucchini; great vegetarian option) and an horchata. Also tried the Jamaica aguas Fresca. Both aguas frescas were “legit”. The vegetarian option tacos base was sweet and tasty, and tacos were filling. My wife had the tacos with three different meats and her favorite was the carne asada. Mexican food has been surprisingly good here in Anchorage. (We’ve also been very selective as to where we go). Alaska prices but support the business here!

Only reason for 4 stars on atmosphere was because I'm not a fan of high top tables. Food was delicious and plentiful, and authentic. Lots of protein choices. We had nachos, burrito, and quesadilla. Proteins we tried were el pastor, brisket, and carne asada. We'll be back.

I had an amazing meal at Rafelitos! The tacos were packed with flavor and came out fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Each one had tender, juicy meat topped with fresh cilantro, onion, and a delicious green salsa that tied everything together. The chips on the side were crisp and tasty, and the lime added the perfect touch. I also enjoyed the refreshing drink that paired perfectly with the meal. The presentation was clean and inviting, and the portions were just right. You can really tell the food is made with care. If you’re craving authentic, flavorful tacos in Anchorage, this is the spot to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My wife, daughter, son-in-law, and I ambled into Rafelito's after a morning exploring the Coastal Trail on bikes.. Nestled into an industrial area in south central Anchorage, Rafelito's offers a fusion of industrial and Latin-inspired decor in a decidedly industrial-inspired structure.. Between the four of us we sampled a carne asada burrito, chicken quesadilla, ground beef nachos, and carne asada and pastor street tacos.. My wife and I shared the nachos and street tacos and found all of it to be quite deelish.. The nachos were amply portioned with fresh and lightly salted chips, wonderfully seasoned ground beef, cheese, and topped with finely shredded cabbage, diced jalapeños, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and roasted garlic & jalapeño aioli.. The nachos offered an excellent medley of flavors and the chips were fantastic.. The street tacos held their own, crafted atop a pair of fresh, 7" corn tortillas, and topped with fresh diced onions, chopped cilantro, and mild salsa.. The pastor was flavorful and had a nice hint of pineapple.. The carne asada was crafted with sliced top round steak marinated in a house garlic marinade, a first for me, and likely the star of the show as a result.. All in all, the four of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would certainly recommend Rafelito's to anyone desiring quality Mexican fare in a unique atmosphere..
