A place with a peaceful atmosphere, a bit cramped, which from my point of view would be its only drawback (nothing to be done about the type of building). But the service more than makes up for it; the food is delicious, the dishes are traditional, and the quality is excellent. It will definitely be a must-visit on our next trips.

I had chilaquiles verde the first time, and they were wonderful. Today I had chilaquiles rojos. They were still good, but not as good as the chilaquiles verde. Don Rafa looks like a small restaurant, that is until you go up to the second floor. Great location near Plaza Chica.

It is without any doubt the best value in town. Overall the food in Pátzcuaro is very mediocre, very expensive, and the portions are tiny. It is the unfortunate consequence of the huge flow of tourists to the town. The best food is to be found either in the markets or among the street vendors, but if you want to play it safe, this place is your best choice.

Okay local food... The sopa Tarasca was supposedly the best one in Patzcuaro (according to a friend) but failed to impress me. On the other hand, their guacamole was very good. The service was kind but a bit slow.

I found a cockroach in my plate and when I told the waiter he just removed it, it was nasty, I hope they close that place.
