Growing up in Napa, I had not been to Don Perico in many years, especially after moving to Vacaville. I was excited that they were reopening after leaving they had closed several months back. I was not disappointed! I had the Fajitas Mixtecas with flower tortillas! My husband had a newer menu item, the Quesabirrias! Both these dishes were delicious! We were greeted by friendly hostesses. Our waiter Marco Jr was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We started out with some cocktails before our food came out. I had a Cucumber Margarita and he had the Cadillac Margarita! His came with the traditional salt rim and mine came with a tajin rim. Both were amazing drinks! I really enjoyed the Cucumber and tajin combination. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well as glass garage door that allows part of the indoor space to be partially open to the outside! They have T.V.s as well. I would say this is an upscale casual dining spot. Great for a group of friends, family or a fun date night or lunch! Highly recommended! read more

We came here for lunch right as they opened on a Saturday at 11am. We sat at the outside patio but also had access to the dining area. The set-up is very impressive on the inside. My wife is from Napa and has been here multiple times, but this was my first time. Our margaritas were great and the chips n salsa were amazing. The quesabirrias I ordered had a tangy spice flavor that I really liked, and the consome was the perfect compliment. My wife enjoyed her fajitas which came out sizzling on first appearance. Marco Jr. our server was very accommodating and friendly. Staff are all welcoming and it a solid dining option within downtown Napa. read more

I still went with my go to steak fajitas and were delicious like always. Service was good like it use to be prices seam to be the same. They did a great job on the build out. They still have outdoor seating and their bar is a lot bigger. I have gone twice in a week so far. read more

The night we went was hopping! I mean the buzz was there. Our service was great. We split the chile verde which came with beans and rice. The tortillas seemed homemade but I don't think they were. Corkage was $16. Everything was great. I can see this becoming the most popular spot downtown. read more

Don Perico Mexican Restaurant - Signature chicken salad, togo, no shell. - Mexican Near Me - Napa, California

Had an opportunity to visit after their reopening. The food, as always, is so good! We had the bean dip with chorizo. So glad they kept this on the menu. We all enjoyed a variation of margaritas. The cucumber one is my favorite. Their chili verde is always one of my favorite dishes! The service was incredible and extremely friendly. Honestly my only complaint was the atmosphere. It doesn't feel like a Mexican restaurant. The tile is dull and the walls are neutral. Going from the vibrant feel of what it was before, to this, just feels a little lack luster. They need some pops of color either on the walls or something to bring up the energy. Regardless, we look forward to going back soon. read more

A bit of a mixed experience for my first visit. I ordered the combination fajitas with steak, chicken, and shrimp. While the shrimp and veggies were cooked to perfection, the steak was overcooked and the chicken was dry. On a positive note, the table service was fast and attentive. The real disappointment came as I was leaving. I asked an older gentleman at the host stand if a manager was available--not to complain, but just to share constructive feedback so they could improve. When he said no, I briefly explained the issue to him, and he simply replied with an indifferent "Okay." No apology, no follow-up. I believe in second chances, so I'll likely try them again and hope for better quality control next time. read more

It's back. Can confirm chilles verdes is the same... margaritas the same... will report back on the fajitas next lol. The host station is too close to the door and there is nowhere to queue for your table when someone else is in front... that's my only minor complaint. No vegetables were harmed in writing this review lol. read more

Food & Service were Great, beautiful only complaint was take away containers are not compostable - to bad

Always great food and great service!!! Great testing, margaritas Marco, Ruiz, KiKi, Alejandro all excellent at their jobs.

I also have been eating at their prior establishments, they still have the same great menu and the staff are top notch! We went to the soft opening last week and were happy to see the owners, same chef, and a lot of the staffers. In their absence I tried different restaurants for their Chili Verde and still haven't found one locally that compares! read more

The service was excellent. The food was just ok. I felt the food portions were small, and the taste was not as good as it used to be.

Hostess was so rude we decided not to dine there. Loved the old location and the people so hoping they get things figured out with the youthful staff and the way they treat customers read more

Food and service are very good, but prices are a bit more than other local mexican spots. They say they require reservations, but people ahead of us didn't have a reservation and successfully walked in and secured a table. Beware that extra basket of chips and/or salsa are extra -- $3 for salsa, $2 for chips. Other mexican restaurants (except for Hacienda) don't charge. read more

I really appreciate finding a restaurant like this that serves so many defined vegetarian options. Whether I want a burrito or quesadilla, they have options and it's listed right from the menu! Lots of seating inside. Very friendly staff. The marg's are great too ; -) Hands down, I can't wait to return! Sincerely, Sacramento foodie visiting Napa read more

Enjoyed a late lunch here on Sunday. Offers outside & inside seating. Nice variety of dishes to choose from without being too overwhelming. The Paloma was delicious! The burrito carnitas was delicious & generous enough to share! The staff was attentive & service was very good. read more

I've been a customer for 21 yrs. Today I visited with my family on the second day of the soft opening. 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. A lot of the familiar faces returned. The food was GREAT. I ordered my usual; Chile Verde. The meat was tender, the sauce was perfect. The rice; fluffy and flavorful. The beans just as I remembered. Nothing but the address has changed here, I am happy about that. Please make sure to stop by. read more

Good dining experience. We were seated immediately, and the food came out in a timely manner. Service was good, and so was the food. Five stars, not because it was over the top, but because I have no complaints. Don Perico met my expectation for a Mexican restaurant in Napa. I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas with two soft corn tortillas, filled with seasoned chicken, topped with our homemade tomatillo salsa verde (which contains pork) and melted cheese - I ate half and was able to enjoy the rest at home the next day. It was delicious. I do recommend trying it. Husband had the fish tacos, and our friend had a bean & cheese burrito. Overall, we had a good dining experience. Restaurant was clean and noise level was average. read more

We were in Napa to see a show at the Blue Note, and she wanted some lunch. After parking, we strolled around, looking at the nearby possibilities. She decided on Mexican food, so we went to Don Perico. We were offered indoor or outdoor seating, and we chose outdoor. It was a nice day but there was a table in the shade and that's where we parked ourselves. The one downside though, were the flies. I kept 1/2 my napkin covering my Horchata and it was a constant vigil to keep the pests from landing on our plates. I'm not sure how they could resolve that short of mesh screens or fans that would blow the napkins all over. Service was very good and our server came by and checked on us frequently. The food was decent, pedestrian American-Mexican. I had asked for my order with Whole Black Beans but the kitchen had put Refried Pinto Beans on my plate. Instead of replating, they simply served a small bowl of Whole Black Beans on the side. I didn't waste all of the Refried though. I used them as a accompaniment on the complimentary Tortilla Chips. She really enjoyed her Taco and the Chile Rellenos were all right as well. Would we come here again? Maybe. But there are many other restaurants to try in the area as well. read more

Service was great -- servers were very attentive and food came out super fast. This review focuses on the food.. it was mediocre at best. Ordered some carne asada street tacos and the meat was very bland and dry. Honestly, my favorite part about the plate was the rice and beans.. and the chips are definitely store bought. Maybe we got the wrong thing because they have such an extensive menu. read more

Don Pericos was one of my go to spots years ago but I have not been back in a while. My brother and I stopped in on Cinco de Mayo and while they did have a limited menu on this day, they still had their Wet Burritos which are amazing! The wet burritos are served with the beans and rice on the side which means that you get a large tortilla filled with a plentiful amount of whatever protein you choose, I got carne asada. I ordered my favorite drink here, the coronita which is a margarita with a small corona in it, super fun! The service was fast and all staff are very attentive. I asked for a spicier salsa and beware, they do not mess around with the habanero salsa, so good! read more

Nice restaurant with indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The wait time has been little to no wait every time I have visited. The food is decent and not my first pick when it comes to Mexican food but personally me and my fiancé come for the drinks. The bar streams sports games that are playing. Staff is very welcoming and attentive. First round of chips and salsa is on the house. Great place to stop by if you are walking around down town area. read more

When you don't have a reservation anywhere else in town, you end up at a place like this. Very mediocre/average Americanized Mexican food. The massive menu has something for everyone but it's anything but authentic. They charge extra for extra chips/salsa, which is comical. The service wasn't great and one of the orders showed up incorrect. read more

Very good service. We were seated very fast and served with our chips and salsa immediately. We waited a bit to get our order in, but we greeted with a welcome. We ordered our drinks and our entree all at once. We received our drinks first. My Patron Margarita was superb. The mango margarita was a bit bland for me, but my wife liked it. We shared a Chili Verde Burrito as we weren't very hungry after a great happy hour. The Burrito was very tasty. However, the sauce was very salty. I avoided dropping the food into the sauce, and it was great. Overall, it is a very good restaurant and a go-to for Mexican food. read more

"Good Food, but Poor Customer Service" The food was good, but the customer service left me disappointed. While I was dining, a fruit fly landed in my guacamole and sour cream. I politely asked the waiter for a fresh serving, but was told I would be charged for it. As a paying customer, I expected more understanding, especially since the issue involved a bug in the restaurant itself. I've never encountered this at other restaurants, and it left me feeling very dissatisfied. Good food is important, but so is customer service, and I hope management takes this feedback seriously. read more

It was our first night in Napa (this time) and we hadn't made plans/reservations for dinner, so we were at the mercy of restaurants we could walk to from Inn on First, that were open and had room. We looked around a bit and landed at Don Perico Mexican Restaurant. It was warm, but outside seating was well protected by umbrellas and there was a nice breeze. It was a comfortable setting for dinner. Our server was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with Jalapeño Margaritas, which were beautifully presented. I ordered Enchiladas del Mar and Mark had Steak Fajitas. Both were tasty. We were hungry. I'd say Don Perico is a great place to stop if you've not made other plans. It's good food, but it pales a bit in comparison to other dining options available in the area. Next time we come to Napa I'll make sure we have plans for our first day rather than leaving things to chance. read more

We were in Napa on the night of their major concert with a fewer restaurants open at dinner time, so the choices weren't great and we settled for Don Perico. We were seated outside as we had our two dogs with us. Let me just skip to the punch line, really didn't stand out as authentic memorable Mexican dinner. It was just something to curb your hunger and that is it. Being in California, and having tried fantastic food at restaurants and even trucks, you are spoiled with great Mexican food. The service was OK as well. Been there, tried it and don't need to go back. read more

Very mediocre place. We all felt that they skimped on alcohol for our margaritas. For the price, the presentation was not good at all. My plate had everything swimming into each other with the excessive cheese overpowering everything. My friends generally liked their plates though. I will say that the service was very kind though. read more

The location was perfect in downtown Napa! When we walked in we were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. It was a very beautiful day but we decided to dine indoors. The waitress was patient as we looked over the menu due to this being our first time visiting g this location AND trying to find queso on the menu which they did not have (we were truly diners from Texas LOL). The food turned out very delicious. I had a "wet shredded chicken burrito". I would love to come back and visit this restaurant again if are ever in the Napa area. read more

We came in on a Friday night to try this place after a failed attempt at an adjacent restaurant. What stands out here is the service! The food is good, but the hostess, waiter and bus staff were all working hard. We went with fish fajitas and they were really good. I ordered the regular margarita but I received the jalapeno margarita instead and it was really good (so I had to have another). Little things about service were really helpful here - we also had a Diet Coke, and the waiter confirmed it was diet when he took the cup and also when he returned it. Overall, this place is a winner. read more

solid and very filling mexican restaurant with cute outdoor seating area! quick service, and free chips and salsa upon seating (beware, the spicy salsa is pretty foaming hot!) i opted for the chicken enchilada plate ($15) - maybe a 3/5. ive definitely had better enchiladas. the sauce was rich in a filling way (i'm still not sure if this was a good or a bad thing), but the portions were for sure generous for the price point. the chicken was pretty nice, not too dry. all the other places also fell into this category of nothing super memorable, BUT i will say that the beef quesadilla was pretty amazing. it was perfectly cooked, the beef was richly marinated, and the guac and salsa unlocked a new flavor dimension to the plate i didn't know was possible. get the quesadillas!!!! read more
