The San Fierro Rifa is the sole Mexican gang based in San Fierro, later seen to be collaborating with the Ballas and Vagos in the narcotics business. The Rifa are based on the Nortenos, a hispanic gang located in northern California. The Rifa also appear to work as thugs for the Loco Syndicate, possibly because Rifa leader T-Bone Mendez is a co-leader of the Loco Syndicate.

They appear to be rather neutral with the local Chinese Triads and the Vietnamese Da Nang Boys.
