Carnitas Don Rafa
About
This family-run Mexican kitchen specializes in slow-cooked pork preparations and regional dishes that reflect the owner's deep roots in central Mexico, with a focus on mole, seafood preparations, and mezcal selections that rotate seasonally. The dining room operates with the warmth and efficiency of a working fonda—expect communal tables, direct service, and a menu that honors traditional cooking techniques rather than trends. Every plate speaks to specific regional traditions, whether it's Oaxacan moles that simmer for hours or fresh ceviches that shift with what's available at the market.
