Who plays Rafael Caro Quintero in Narcos?

Rafael Caro Quintero is a Mexican drug trafficker who co-founded the Guadalajara Cartel with Miguel ngel Félix Gallardo and Ernesto Fonseca

Rafael’s criminal activities and life were featured in Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico, which premiered in November 2018. Tenoch Huerta portrayed Rafael Quintero in the film.

The series delves into the origins of the Mexican drug war, beginning with a loose and disorganised confederation of small, independent marijuana growers and dealers.

It depicts the formation and rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s, as Miguel ngel Félix Gallardo unites several plazas, or territories, to form an infamous drug empire.

It also depicts the kidnap, torture and murder of Kiki Camarena a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent.

Although many of the events and characters are based on true events, some liberties were taken to create a cohesive narrative of the Mexican drug war.
