Simply one of the best restaurants in New Mexico. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the Burnt Tacos (tacos wrapped in cheese). Unique and delicious.
My husband daughter and I went in for dinner tonight, 8-23-17. It was absolutely delicious! We have never seen such an awesome wait staff. The waitress we had was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. When she new we were from Raton, she was concerned and caring about our trip back so late. We witnessed a gentlemen who walked in at closing, and instead of pushing him out the door, they made sure he still was able to get a great meal. That's how a business should be run! Great job, Rapheal's! We will be stop in again!
Food was pretty good, the place is charming
I realize that was a lot of older people eating there, that was a good sign that was going to be good.
I was happy that they gave me the option between rice or pozole.
Food were a huge portion. Red and green chili flavors makes it worth it. Hot meal, with just the right amount of topping. Served piping hot. Gotta have to eat the sopapillas.
Cost money to eat this good. 3 ppl costs 70.00
Edit: 2nd Visit the day before Thanksgiving 2021
*Once again: True NM food and hospitality. The solo gal who was running the entire front of house HUSTLES and is SO sweet! So glad we made it (7+ hours into a road trip) to our favorite stop before they closed early for Thanksgiving. If I could give another 5 stars I would.*
On a road trip to my hometown of Albuquerque we hit the jackpot with Kocina de Raphael in Las Vegas, NM. True New Mexican food: beans, tacos, green chile, posole, and sopapillas.
Everyone in the restaurant, staff and patron alike, were warm and friendly and loved on our kids. Made me miss home in the best way possible.
They have a great kids’ menu as well. We ordered a cheeseburger and chicken nuggets with fries. All kids’ items were great!!
There was a wait, but it was totally worth it and they gave our kids crayons (fresh in the pack Crayola) and fun coloring sheets.
Was my favorite about 20 years ago. Have since moved out of the area. Ate there today and the food is just as good! The red chili and sopapillas are fantastic! Service is notoriously slow though. But they are very friendly.
I should have taken a photo. The Stuffy with chicken smothered in green chile with a side of posole was spot-on delicious with enough heat to knock my sinuses loose halfway through my plate. I'm going to try to convince my wife to bring me back for breakfast.
Every time we come to Las Vegas we eat at Kocina de Raphael's. We are from ABQ so we know good New Mexican food. Raphael's has great food, a good selection of menu items and best of all great, friendly service. We recommend Raphael's to our friends and family. Want great food and great service get on over to Raphael's !!
