One of the best tacos in Napa CA hands down. Highly recommended, Great customer service great personality. Family own. 9.3/10

Roman C.

The price. No wonder why it's pretty empty lately. The tacos are decent, at least mine were lacking flavor. They were like "out" of small champurrados. He could have pour the small portion in the slightly larger cup. In one word over priced.

We've been coming to this taco truck for over 20 years now. It's nostalgic for us and I love that my kids request this often. We typically go during the week and wait times are not long. We order a larger amount of tacos because it's a 30 minutes drive each way and bring some home for other family members. We order with everything, extra veggies, sauce on the side, and only meat and never have had any mistakes. Staff is super friendly and all three of our kids have received a free taco on their first visit. They offer a variety of drink and the champurrado is delicious. I love that we can eat in our cars or bring food home it's still fresh and warm. Truck is parked in liquor store parking so a lot of street parking available. Worth the drive.

Best original tacos!! Best in Napa!! I been coming here since my family moved to Napa in 1995. It's a family tradition to come here!

This has to be one of my favorite taco trucks in the Napa area for its convenient area being in a gas station parking lot & affordable tacos! I highly recommend trying all their levels of hot sauce (if you dare) and if you're lucky, try their champurado! The staff is incredibly friendly and will have your orders piping hot fresh&ready. Definitely worth giving it a try if you're in the area. read more

Finally made it to the area to try this place out. They're in a parking lot where a little convenience store is. Very friendly service. I love cabeza and it's the first choice for all my tacos. And I usually go to taco trucks. I possibly had high expectations but it just was ok. I may come back if I'm in the area and try again, but I was sad to say it didn't have much taste. My tortillas kept falling apart, and they didn't seem cooked enough. What makes them really stand out is their really hot sauce. read more

The go-to, the one and only, the best for tacos de cabeza! The meat is steamed and super soft. Served with little salt packets so you can season as you wish, cilantro, onion, a lemon wedge, and their famous red salsa! They are small tacos, with your choice of single or double tortilla. I do single tortilla to have space for more tacos, haha! The line may be long, certain nights, but it's definitely worth it.

This place is really good, great tacos and open until 9:30-latest taco truck in Napa I can find. However, they only serve beef tacos. That's it. So if you're craving a meaty burrito, cheesy quesadilla or some sopes, you have to go elsewhere. Also, since they are the only "late night" taco truck around here, the line in insane. Be prepared to wait a good 25min on a Saturday night for your beef tacos. I surrendered tonight because I was craving tacos, but definitely not a usual stop for me. Oh, and they are cash only! read more

Napa is a sad place to be for the... em... not filthy rich. And for that the non-filthy locals pay with some very limited options for dining out on a thin dime. Essentially we have Mexican, Chinese, and a few fast fleeting diners from the days of old. So when I say that this is the worst barbacoa I have ever had that does make me sad. It really is not as popular as in the south and south west of The United States so when I lived in the area I was excited to hear about this truck. Greasy is standard for the type of meat but so is a wonderful rich beef flavor. Some how they keep the grease and avoid the flavor. I have eaten here many times and each time salt and salsa are the only things that get me through a plate. More than one star because it is cheap. Sorry Naps. read more

There's no surprise the line continues to grow each time I visit this truck for the tasty cow head, steamed tacos they're known for. They're a 20 in my book from a 1-10. No doubt. I am always impressed with the clean appearance the truck always has, the spectacular customer service and I'm humbled every time how they go out their way to make sure the order is always right. I left feeling great today after my order of 19 tacos for my family. They're reasonably priced and the service is fast. Tacos al vapor are a personal favorite, but tacos de cabeza al vapor are the BEST! Thank you, Chavez tacos for never disappointing me. Keep up the hard work and I'll see you again soon. read more

Family taco truck, one type of taco. It's tongue, and you might as well say "yes" when you're asked "with everything?" It's $1.25 ea, and most ppl there are buying 20-40 for the fam. Hours are nightly and no Sundays. I used to live near here and walk down to Taco Chavez all the time. Wash down the spicy tongue with a nice Jamaica Jarrito or that bangin apple soda!

There will be a line that looks like you are about to get on a Disneyland ride but it's not as bad as it looks. Once you order and sit down, the magic truly begins. Let's talk food real quick. So I've been here twice and I've been blown away both times. The Breakfast Sandwich is even tastier than you could imagine while being the perfect amount of food. There's something about that spicy mayo that really brings the bun and protein all together. The star is definitely the Burrito de Chorizo. This is easily the best Chorizo burrito I've ever had. If you just gave me the Burrito by itself you would have been fine. I mean the Chorizo itself isn't super greasy and I never get that feeling like after I've eaten 4 items from Taco Bell. The thing that sends your taste buds into the stratosphere is the Salsa itself comes with. It's like a smokier salsa and that alone is music to my heart and soul. If it ever gets too spicy it comes with sour cream to cool you down. But I almost guarantee if you order this, it's gonna be hard to pull away from that Burrito. Also the Paloma and El Berto drinks are amazing. The Mimosa flight is very much worth the price. Uncle Wigs is good but on the lighter side booze wise. So if you are lightweight, this could be a good choice. La Cheve has a unique system with ordering and getting your table. Normally if you go to a place where you order and then sit, you are usually allowed to sit where you want. Here they actually still show you to your table. However you won't have to wait super long for your food because once you sit down you see how well oiled the machine really is. The team at La Cheve is able to carefully manage the seating so that it never ever really feels like there is chaos. Some people might look at the open tables around them and be confused but not me. You ever go to a restaurant where its so loud that you have to turn your speaker volume up to 11/10? I can't stand that. Part of going out to a restaurant whether it's your friends or family is the experience. I want to reconnect with the people I love. I want to have pleasant and fun conversations. So when you pair that with the already good food and drinks, I think La Cheve has really mastered the full dining experience in their own unique way.

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.

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

But I am very glad I did stop to eat and was very pleasantly surprised as it was an overall great experience. There is indoor and outdoor seating and very colorful and clean seating with a festive atmosphere. The waiter was very friendly and helpful as the menu was large and had a lot of unique offerings. 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. The meal was good and the price was super reasonable, which is getting hard to find in Napa! I will definitely be back and hope the Big Ranch stays open for a long time!

Highly recommended to me. Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like…read morefamily. El Rancho Grande is a must-visit for authentic Mexican cuisine!

They're fully loaded with toppings, even having a surplus and so generously piled that I love having more chips to use it up! I love the fact that you can order a half portion of the nachos, since it's still a pretty hefty portion! They have a full bar area now and I believe they have a happy hour going on- I'll definitely need to check that out some time! They have a huge menu, which is a bit overwhelming (the screens that alternate between pages on the menu can have you scrambling to find your order or reading at a faster rate). We went prior to a lunch rush and they were busy on the phone and other employees hadn't arrived yet so it took a bit of a while to order and get orders in. However, once we sat, the food came out at a reasonable time. I'll still be returning when the nacho craving hits!

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!

The brisket is melt in your mouth tender (tendernism as the kids say!). It also has a beautifully pink smoke ring, which is a great indicator that it was cooked perfectly. We opted for the sweet BBQ sauce on the side, which went perfectly with bread and butter pickles. They were running a whole hog special for July 4th that was equally moist and dressed with a zingy vinegar that kept it from being too heavy. The tri-tip was also phenomenal - it still had a good bite and was a rosy blush. No grey, dried out BBQ here! The side options also feel more chef driven than any old BBQ joint with options like pork belly potato salad and 816 rub curly fries with bacon aioli. The restaurant runs like a well oiled machine, you order up front and pick up your feast after you pay or wait for table service. We enjoyed sitting in the outdoor patio as well, so it's a great place where furry friends are welcome. Chef Darryl Bell is serving up the best barbecue I've had probably ever - it's worth the trip from the Bay Area if you are hankering for solid Kansas style BBQ.

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.

Staff and server were very nice, interior is beautiful and well air conditioned. It's a deep restaurant inside, looks small from the front. We started off with a glass of rose and bread and 1/2 order of the caesar salad. I got a recommendation from the waitress for the seafood pasta, felt like she pointed out all the most expensive things tho and didnt really give me more options to choose from so would just order what u want instead of asking them. The seafood pasts was good but nothing extraordinary about it and not that much seafood in it for the $37 price tag. I was curious about the green pesto looking one! The branzino did not look appetizing for me. Fried and thin, my partner finished it but i dont think it was bc it was spectacular. The house made ice cream was my fav , the gelato was so yummy esp the carmel one, nice and hard. Overall had a pleasant time but nothing to write home about.

While Napa is awash in taco trucks, Taco Chavez is by and far the best (and we've tried most of them). We had heard rumors about it but never actually found it until a few months ago. It is open Mon-Sat from about 6pm to 9pm. They park on Coombs Street a few blocks north of Imola Avenue across from a liquor store (convenient since they don't serve alcohol). They make the freshest, best tasting little tacos. They only do beef cheek tacos (wish they would just refer to them as "beef" since I try not to think about the extra adjective. We spend weekends in Yountville and it's pretty much our ritual to pull off Highway 29 for a bag of tacos on our way to Yountville on Friday evenings. Have begged them to cater a party for us but no dice as they stick to their location and schedule. read more
