Tried it for the first time Friday night. I liked it a lot. Great fast food with, really, an Austin feel to it. Sitting outside working on a longneck was kinda cool. Good mixed crowd.

I last darkened their door in the late '80s. While I kinda remember liking the food, I don't remember it being true Tex Mex. But it sounds like I may be missing something.

Say, did you run Matt Martinez out of town? Saw he lost his lease.

Had dinner at Javier's a few months ago, last time I was there was twenty years ago. It is not
Tex-Mex, it is more, "Interior Mexico" food, whatever that means. It was very good and the margarita's are still bueno.

It was always good, and sounds like it still is. But I hear "Mexican food" and I think "Tex Mex." May it always be so. Amen.

Not Tex-Mex, Mexican food. Mexico City style if you will. Without ducking the bullets...

Amazing. It's always been such an odd location and yet it still goes on and on.

One of my top 5 in Dallas. Food, drinks and service are quite consistent.

Rafa's on Lovers is the best...eat in the bar and they will bring select items cooking in the back that aren't even on the menu...

I enjoy Rafa's for lunch when I'm in town. Their salsa might be the hottest in the D
