Chips & salsa
Gale B.

Amazing stop that we'll come back to again!! We were craving a legit taqueria meal after spending a couple days camping in the area. Yelp helped us find this place on our way home from Napa. And bonus points for navigating us there via beautiful Silverado Trail. I ordered the carne asada plate that was loaded with meat and came with home made whole beans and rice, roasted onions, jalapeño, pico de gallo, and fresh avocado. Got it with 2 flour tortillas that were huge and perfectly warmed. My hubby ordered 2 of the specialty mulitas --a soft tortilla on the bottom that os crispy with cheese on top and is filled with meat, whole beans. He ordered his mulitas with carnitas that were crispy /not fatty (perfect). The plate included pico de gallo and a small chopped fresh cucumber bell pepper salad. And we had chips and homemade roasted green and red chili salsa (hot) that added to everything. Both plates were perfectly seasoned (not salty!) and delicious. Our meals were complemented by a pineapple aqua Fresca & Fanta pineapple soda--something i'd never seen & would order again. Fantastic local find and family run business. We will be back again as we love camping in the area & the food is that good!!

Posole

El sabor serrano is one of the hidden gems in Napa ca. Locate at 1017 coombsville rd. The people super nice is a family owned restaurant. So come and support them. We order pasole must try. 9.7/10 . We also order a wet burrito with refried beans 9.0/10 . So if you ever near here stop by. Highly recommend it!

Birria tacos and fish taco
Ezekiel G.

My husband and I recently moved to Napa from San Francisco, and while we've loved exploring the area, one thing we really missed was the abundance of authentic Mexican food we enjoyed in SF. We had our go-to taqueria there, and we had not found a similar place here--until we found El Sabor Serrano. After trying a few spots around town, we decided to give this small, family-run taqueria a shot, and we were absolutely blown away. We ordered the birria tacos and the carne asada torta, and both dishes were perfection. The birria tacos were crispy, with just the right amount of melted cheese, and the meat was flavorful, juicy, and impossible to put down. The carne asada torta was fresh, tender, and perfectly sized--not too big, not too small. The salsas were just as impressive: a mild and tangy salsa verde, a slightly sweet pineapple salsa, and a salsa roja that brought the heat without overpowering the flavors. We also tried two agua frescas: a pineapple one that was incredibly refreshing, and a mixed one made from hibiscus and pineapple, which was delicious. On top of the amazing food, the service made us feel at home. The woman taking our order was so friendly and even came by our table to check on us after we got our food. You can feel they care a lot about both the cooking and the hospitality here. We've already decided we'll be back soon--especially to try their pozole, which they serve on Fridays and Saturdays.

Burrito
Patrick B.

Fair prices and quick service. The burritos are on the smaller size but still plenty filling. The Volcans were a great deal and piled high with meat and toppings. My only complaint was I was wishing for a little more flavor, spice and acid.

Fish, Brisket and Pastor Tacos, fresh and delicious!
Kegger R.

This place is amazing, many choices of meat and fish tacos, vampiros, a la plancha and alambre, all super tasty!

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.

It was love at first…read moresight for me, and even though we walked around to see our options, we ended up right back where we started. Best decision ever. They got us seated on the patio in under five minutes (inside was a little loud, but the patio vibe was perfect). Our waiter was super sweet, and the food? Incredible. The chips and salsa are elite, my chicken taquitos were so flavorful, and my husband loved his skirt steak tacos. Pair all that with some seriously good drinks, and you have a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!

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!

My wife And I are a sucker for a good fish taco. $19 for two tacos sounds a little rough. Possibly…read moretourist tax. I appreciate the size and I love a homemade tortilla. 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 stopped in recently and had the absolute best experience at the bar, all thanks to her. From the moment I sat down, Ana welcomed me with the warmest energy and an infectious smile. The bar was packed, but she handled the crowd like an absolute pro, never making anyone wait and somehow making every single guest feel like a VIP. Not only is her customer service unmatched, but her mixology skills are next-level. I told her the kind of flavors I usually like, and she crafted the most incredible margarita ,espresso martini I've ever had. It is so rare to find a bartender who combines speed, skill, and genuine warmth the way Ana does. She didn't just serve drinks; she completely elevated the entire vibe of the night. If you come here, do yourself a favor and find a spot at the bar. Ana, you are the best--thank you for a flawless night! I'll definitely be back soon.

Today, I convinced him to give them another chance, and I regret coming back. I ordered 4 carne asada soft tacos. The meat was undercooked, the bag of chips I ordered was staled and the salsa was water down. It's completely unacceptable this is not a cheap meal! Not to mention I ordered them to go and when I walked in, it took almost 10 mins before I got acknowledged by one of the employees at the register while my bag of food was sitting on the counter the whole time.... I'm never returning to this place!
