Date of Reservation Saturday, June 6…read more The Food I'll start with the highlights: the food here was absolutely great. Everything our table ordered was delicious, cooked perfectly, and well-presented. The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing. The Service Unfortunately, the dining experience was really let down by how rushed we felt. Throughout the night, it felt like the front-of-house staff was on a mission to flip our table as fast as possible. Servers were constantly hovering and picking up plates while half of our group was still actively eating. It reached a point where one of my friends was practically interrogated about whether she was finished. They kept coming back to check on her plate so many times that she eventually just gave up, got annoyed, and told them to just take it away before she was even done. It's hard to enjoy great food when you feel like an inconvenience or a timer is ticking down. I'd love to come back for the flavors, but the staff needs to let guests actually breathe and enjoy their meals.

Our spicy margaritas came out first, with the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spice. We sat outside in the sunshine, with no trouble finding a table with the large outdoor patio. The dirty fries and tacos were absolutely delicious, the meat was succulent with a nice heat from the various types of salsa. The spicy margarita gave a nice cold relief to the spice from the food and I could have had another. Definitely worth the stop if you're in Napa or driving through.

We were blown away, the dining area is beautiful, vaulted ceilings, neutral colors, modern. The bar is stacked with premium spirits. The staff; welcoming and friendly as always.

I started with a classic margarita, and it was perfectly executed--balanced, refreshing, with a properly salted rim and a clean, classic presentation. For food, I ordered the campechano with shrimp and octopus, and it was outstanding. The seafood was fresh and generous, the octopus was incredibly tender, and the shrimp were large and flavorful. It immediately reminded me of being on the coast in places like Rosarito or Ensenada--very authentic and well done. The setting is also a huge plus, especially the back patio right along the Napa River. It creates a relaxed, scenic atmosphere that really elevates the entire experience. Great food, great service, and a beautiful location. I'll definitely be back.

Our family of 2 adults and 1 child (age 8) enjoyed the following: 1) Chicken mole enchiladas- excellent 2) Pork tamales- good, though I found some of the meat too fatty 3) Chips & guacamole- the house made chips were a bit too thick for us; the guacamole was tasty 4) Kids cheese quesadilla - we appreciated the fact they had a $5 kids cheese quesadilla on the menu 5) Soft serve - Delicious The set up is such that you order and pay up front, then sit out back and wait for your order to be delivered to your picnic table. The staff was cordial and the wait wasn't too bad. Our only challenge here was that our SF born and raised kiddo was struggling to eat in the 88 degree heat outdoors. Just be aware that there is no indoor, air-conditioned seating available. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here!

I felt it had all the components to be successful. I liked the texture of the batter. It also wasn't plain so that was nice. Good ingredients and flavors for sure. What came up short was the ratio of batter to fish. Way too much batter for the amount of fish. Also it was totally the wrong fish for the batter. Way too soft. I don't know how you eat these in the restaurant but they are a mess. If I'm paying almost twenty bucks for fish tacos. I think I might expect slightly more elegance. Menu did look very interesting. I could see coming back but the fish tacos are a pass

I had two street-sized tacos , a shredded chicken taco, and a Al Pastor taco which came with some delicious tomatillo sauce and on the side a small salad like offering of pickled carrots and cabbage. My friend had the ceviche and both meals were well presented and prepared. My tacos were very tasty and the ceviche was flavorful and plentiful.
