    They are back and am so happy for them this will be there 3 rd building I have gone in following them. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious. 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.

    My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Don Perico's new restaurant location in downtown Napa! We were greeted as we entered the restaurant just after noon on a Friday and seated promptly with chips and salsa too! We ordered drinks and decided on the lunch special, chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. By the way, the special includes your softdrink! The chicken enchiladas were flavorful, moist, and decent portions too! I enjoyed a tap Pacifico beer. We had amazing, outstanding service from Marco and Idali, they're both the BEST! The new location is modern, classy, and beautiful inside! It's very decorative! I highly recommend visiting and dining here, you will be glad you did! We will see you again soon!

    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.

    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.

    That supposed to be 4 flautas, please get it right or call it rolled something but not Mexican at all.

    Food is mediocre, I ordered the Flautas served with rice and fried beans , sour cream and wacamole. The only Mexican part was the beans and the wacamole, The flautas were tasteless and didn't look like they were made there they looked More like Costco or Walmart Bought. Sorry won't be eating here ever again. Service was great. Food not so

    Fajitas for the win!

    After almost a year they are back! So worth the wait! We were so excited to see so many familiar faces with the reopening. We used to go weekly and requested our favorite waiter, Marco. To our pleasant surprise after a year Marco still remembered our drink order! So excited that Don Ps is back in our rotation!

    This is a Napa institution. Through earthquakes, fires and Covid, they have bounced back and keep getting better and better. Thanks for being like family! Did I mention that food is outstanding?

    Carnitas enchiladas, black beans and rice.

    Thanks for squeezing our party of 5 into your soft opening today; the food was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Great service, too!!

    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.

    Burrito Carnitas
    Stefanie B.

    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.

We tried the tacos and tostadas, and everything was absolutely delicious. The margarita was fantastic, and the homemade sparkling wine was such a unique and memorable touch. A special shoutout to Vanessa, who truly went above and beyond. She took the time to share the history of the restaurant and the owners' background, which made the experience feel so personal and meaningful. When she found out we were in Napa celebrating our 10-year anniversary, she offered us their homemade sparkling wine, and it was such a thoughtful gesture that we'll never forget.

    We visited La Cheve on a Sunday and immediately noticed the long line. That alone didn't discourage…read moreus. We had seen the restaurant featured on Check, Please! Bay Area and had heard plenty of positive reviews, so we were genuinely excited to finally try it. One thoughtful touch is that La Cheve provides umbrellas for guests waiting in line, which is especially appreciated when you're standing outside under the sun. It's a small gesture, but one that shows the restaurant has put some thought into making the waiting experience a little more comfortable. They also offer the option to order coffee through a QR code while waiting in line. I ordered a large black coffee, while my partner ordered a café con leche. Unfortunately, it took about 25 minutes for the drinks to be ready. When we picked them up, the café con leche was served in the same large cup as my coffee--but it was only half full, with roughly a quarter cup of coffee and another quarter consisting of foam. It felt odd drinking from a large half-full cup. Once we reached the counter, though, we were greeted with a warm smile, which was appreciated. We ordered the chilaquiles with an addition of Al Pastor meat, the asada and eggs, the concha French toast, a cronut, the house lager, and a local craft beer. it took approximately an hour and a half from the time we got in line until we were finally seated. By that point, we were more than ready to eat, and despite the long wait, we were still excited to see what the kitchen could do. Unfortunately, that excitement faded quickly once the food arrived. The concha French toast was a big disappointment. The menu description had immediately caught our attention, and we expected something that combined the richness and texture of French toast with the distinctive character of a concha. Instead, we received four small, shortcake-style pieces of bread that were dry and didn't particularly resemble either French toast or a concha. There was no noticeable cinnamon-egg batter, nor any powdered sugar. The dish was served with fresh berries and a side of cajeta ( a craft caramel sauce). The caramel itself was delicious, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster bread. The chilaquiles were the biggest disappointment, and unfortunately, this dish had several execution issues altogether. The tortilla chips were soggy, lacking the texture you'd expect from well-executed chilaquiles. I also ordered the dish with Al Pastor meat, hoping to get a taste of the restaurant's house adobo. Instead, what arrived was a measly portion of tiny pieces and crumbs of meat that appeared to be mostly the remnants from the bottom of the pan. Then there was the oil. There was an excessive amount of it-- so much that a pool had collected in one corner of the plate (see picture below). I actually had to ask the server for extra paper napkins so I could soak up the oil. It was difficult to appreciate the pastor's seasoning or adobo from the oily portion that I was served. The eggs were another example of inconsistency with this plate. I specifically ordered them over medium, expecting set whites with a warm, runny yolk. Instead, the eggs were cooked very unevenly. One was noticeably overcooked, while the other was so thoroughly cooked that the yolk had essentially been obliterated. For a dish that relies on relatively simple ingredients, getting something as fundamental as the eggs right should be a given. My partner's asada and eggs wasn't terrible, per say. However, the dish consisted primarily of bell peppers, a blob of melted cheese, and some asada meat-- the kind you get with regular asada tacos. On the other hand, the biscuits that accompanied the dish, were a genuine highlight. We particularly enjoyed the jalapeño and cheese filling, which gave them a nice savory kick. Thankfully, the bakery items and beer showed us where La Cheve really shines. The house lager was crisp, refreshing, and very enjoyable, while the cronut was downright scrumptious. These were the kinds of items that reminded us why we had been so excited to visit in the first place. Ultimately, La Cheve feels like a restaurant with two very different personalities. The bakery side is impressive, while the savory kitchen needs considerably more attention to execution and consistency. If I were judging the bakery alone, I'd happily give it around 4.5 stars The cronut, biscuits, caramel, and house beer all showed plenty of promise. But the brunch dishes need work--particularly when it comes to texture, portioning, cooking temperatures, and consistency. We came in eager to understand what had generated so much enthusiasm for La Cheve. There are certainly some very good things happening here, and thoughtful touches like the umbrellas for guests waiting in line make a difference. But based on our visit, the kitchen still has some significant kinks to work out before the savory menu matches the promise of the bakery.
