    Camaron a la Diabla
    Anabel U.

    While we ordered online, I had higher hopes after it was recommended by a couple people. I ordered the camarones a la diabla but the sauce wasnt a traditional sauce. This tasted like a regular spicy salsa (with lots of oregano) and they just added a chipotle to try and match the flavor. The other items were just alright. The guacamole needed salt and jalapeño to be spicy and with more flavor. May give them another chance if I'm in the area.

    A few of my favs

    Authentic, delicious Mexican food. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make this spot a must-try when in Napa.

    Crispy Taco and Tostada combo plate

    I love the chicken they do here, in particular the chicken enchiladas! The chicken was tender and juicy, packed with spices and flavor, topped off with goey melted cheese and a rich mole sauce. I'm still dreaming of it hours later. We showed up with a large group and our server did a great job taking orders and serving 25 people. The chips were crunchy and freshly fried. The salsas had a little kick to them, but also tons of flavor. I had a crunchy taco as well, which was greasy, yet delicious. My wife tried the beef on a tostada which she said was good, but didn't compare with the chicken. The presentation of all the food was bright, beautifully plated, and very satisfying. Next time I'm in Napa, I will remember to hit this place up again.

    Other than coming during the afternoon when it was blazing hot! Food was great and service was awesome! Tried new dishes that I loved. The only downside is it is so hot and barely any fans. Today was the start of a heatwave. The enchiladas were great but the enchiladas de res could use carne asada instead. The shredded beef was nowhere near as flavorful as the shrimp and chicken enchiladas. Parking lot is small and street parking limited. Come early for a good spot.

    Torta

    The old man owner was very nice and he gave me free sauce, and utensils. I bought the steak torta

    Probably leaning more towards a 3.5 star review but decided to round up. There are some tables inside but the night we came it was extremely loud so we sat outside in the covered portion. Our server was a little short with us - maybe because they were busy? We shared the chili verde plate - food was definitely good! Will go back again for the food but not the service. Also had a margarita and it was ok.

    Glad to see that they updated this place. They're back in their game. They expanded their patio w lots of seatings & beautiful landscape, - pretty succulents & lights. Staff are very nice & attentive. Inside they furnished it w custom made, hand-painted tables, chairs-even their counter & kids chairs are hand painted. Most of all, their food are so delicious & good portions. Please come and see this place!!!

    Super Nachos!
    Amanda M.

    Tried this place for the first time today at lunch with some of my coworkers. Honestly, I really liked it. Really nice outdoor seating patio. The tables and chairs are beautiful. Service was really fast. Our waiter and waitress really nice and brought extra chips and salsa and grab extra salsa when requested. Also brought out a pitcher of water since one of my coworkers requested it. I got super nachos and honestly I really like them. They were really good. A lot of toppings, the al pastor meat was tender and the chips are really good not overly salty. Honestly, I would love to come back here. No complaints.

This time around my family got similar items, but also tried out their Calamarata con calamari di Monterey, their special pizza which featured figs, and their Mamma Mia Mai Tai. Everything was so delicious! The special pizza was a bit too sweet for our liking (still enjoyed it regardless!), but I'd imagine it would've paired very well with some wine!

The vibe was fun and inviting, all the beautiful lights made the ambiance lively! Here's what we ordered for party of 3: Ravioli al limone $34 (5/5) This dish was also recommended by our sommelier earlier today and it was truly delishjous. 6 Creamy raviolis in a light lemon cream sauce, not too rich but really melted in our mouth Lasagna $34 (5/5) I'm a sucker for lasagna, anything gooey, creamy and layered with bolognese sauce. This was done right. Pan seared branzino $38 (4/5) This was good too lightly seared light fish with some veggies on the sides Ciabattina & bagna cauda $6 (5/5) Crispy warm loaf with this anchovy butter. It's liquid anchovy butter so more dunk-able than spreadable. Zeppole $15 (5/5) Can't go wrong with ending the night with warm Italian donuts with chocolate sauce and cream sides. Dessert since it was my birthday they gave me a scoop of a fruity ice-cream with a candle on top. It was a really nice gesture. The service was great and the food was amazing! I would definitely come back to try the other dishes! The 3 of us were stuffed happy!

    Five stars isn't enough…read more In a world where every restaurant seems to be chasing the latest trend, Cordeiro's reminds us why a classic steakhouse never goes out of style. From the moment we pulled into the beautifully manicured grounds (with plenty of easy parking, a surprisingly underrated luxury in Napa), the evening felt special. We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation and settled into the stunning bar for a cocktail. The bartender was welcoming and friendly, and the bar itself deserves a moment of appreciation: gorgeous stonework, soft embedded lighting, and some of the most comfortable leather bar stools I've ever had the pleasure of lingering in. Once our friends arrived, we were immediately seated in a lovely corner table in a beautiful dining room. Then the real fun began. Every single thing we ordered was exceptional. Cocktails were expertly crafted. The pork belly and watermelon appetizer was one of those dishes that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a moment. The roasted beet salad was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. And then there was the service. Our team, Jose and Zach, struck that perfect balance between polished professionalism and genuine warmth. Our group tends to be a little cheeky, and they were great sports, engaging with us throughout the evening and making the experience feel personal without ever missing a beat. Fresh rolls appeared, accompanied by enough butter to satisfy even this butter-loving crowd (a detail that should never be underestimated). For entrees, we enjoyed a perfectly cooked filet mignon with savory cheesy potatoes with asparagus and carrots, an outstanding pork chop, a sea bass special, and a swordfish dish with each earning rave reviews around the table. Every plate was beautifully executed. No gimmicks. No unnecessary flourishes. Just incredibly well-prepared food made with care and confidence. What I appreciate most about Cordeiro's is that it knows exactly what it is. This isn't a flashy, see-and-be-seen downtown Napa dining experience with eye-watering prices and culinary gymnastics. It's something far better: a timeless steakhouse delivering exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that encourages you to settle in, relax, and enjoy the people you're with. As if the evening couldn't get any better, Bashar stopped by our table and spent time chatting with us about the property, its history, and the incredible effort that goes into maintaining the grounds. He was an absolute delight. He even rolled over a beautiful cordial cart and helped us finish the evening with port, salted caramel liqueur, and an another other after-dinner treat that provided the perfect finale. I was dining with three true local Napa folks who had attended various events at Cordeiro's over the years, and it was fun hearing their stories and connections to the place. By the end of the night, all four of us were smiling, already talking about when we'd return. Great food. Great people. Great atmosphere. Cordeiro's isn't trying to be the newest thing in Napa. It's busy being one of the best.

It makes you want to come back. Now to the food I have eaten lobster Mac and cheese at several restaurants but NONE compare to this. This was by far the absolute best lobster Mac and cheese I've ever had. The lobster is seasoned, they used three different cheeses, and it had the right amount of crunch around the edges of the Mac and cheese. My steak was pretty good as well but the lobster Mac and cheese stole the show. Let me also mention that the whiskey bread pudding was an excellent choice for dessert. I had a scoop of ice cream on top of the bread pudding which was certainly the right choice.
