    Tacos

    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!

    They only have the steamed beef (cabeza), but that's the only meat choice you need.

We reviewed…read morethe menu and stood in a quick line to order food, get a seat with your number, etc. We ordered the Chilaquiles and Mulita Chorizo egg dish. Both were yummy, with lots of sauce, a spicy hot sauce for the Chilaquiles, and a ton of cilantro. We also ordered one of the dark Mexican lagers, which they brew themselves, which was really delicious. We also ordered churro donut holes, Concha stuffed with Arroz con leche and another with Guava. Everything was delicious. The restaurant itself is located in the older adobe in Napa and so it is rich with history and Mexican California beauty. Everyone is warm, helpful, welcoming, and the food comes out quickly! Please visit this family owned, wonderful restaurant.

Whatever your mood or diet, you'll find something to refuel you. The historic adobe building is a cool space.

I added cojita cheese, mozzarella is another Vegan French Toast How? Soft, crusty, sweet! I love the side of syrup that I dunked each bite into. The berries complemented and balanced this sweet treat. Of course, I had to get a vegan concha to go. *Pro Tip* Too late for breakfast-brunch-lunch? There's a dinner option! Check out their sister location, Con Amor, in downtown Napa.

    Great place! My mom and I got dinner here before seeing a show at the Uptown Theater. There's a…read moreparking garage nearby, as well as several surface lots and street parking. We parked between the theater and the restaurant, so it was only about a two-block walk for us and that was fine. When first walking in, it's a little dark inside, but that led to the ambience. It was also a little on the loud side, but not annoyingly so. It felt like a great place for a group of friends to come and get some food and drinks. I was excited to try the drinks--i started with La Guapa which I loved!! It wasn't too sweet, and not spicy either, despite the jalapeno. I followed it up with La Rosa.I typically love prickly pear margaritas, but this one was a little too sweet for me (but still good). The chips and salsa to start were great, nice and crispy. I had the green enchiladas for my entree and thoroughly enjoyed it. My mom just went with a chicken quesadilla and also enjoyed hers. For dessert, we had flan. Overall, it was a really nice dinner with good service!

    I came to Napa for the weekend for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon…read more On Sunday after finishing the race, resting, and freshening up I needed a late lunch/dinner. Ended up being more dinner than lunch. I was walking all around downtown Napa looking at options and then looking them up on Yelp and just not really finding what I was looking for. After a while comfort food was on my mind and Los Agaves delivered. I always order chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. I feel you can usually tell how good the food will be if they have really good chips and fresh salsa. The chips were delicious, salted just right and super crunchy. They honestly tasted like the chips my mom and grandma would make. They were super fresh as if they were made that day or recently. The salsa was soooo good. Has a little bit of heat at the back of the mouth once you take a bite. The cilantro comes through and offers fresh herbiness. And there is a hint of Smokeiness to the salsa as well. It's well balanced and you can actually taste each ingredient. I also love the consistency little chunks of onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro but still a little liquidy so you can dip. I also ordered the Los Agaves cocktail (tequila, lime, cucumber, agave, and ube. I didn't really notice the ube flavor but it added beautiful color. The cucumber comes through. The tequila is also present , no watered down drinks here. :) I couldn't decide between steak or chicken tacos and my waitress said how about both? Sold. The meal was excellent. The tacos are fully loaded with meat, they don't skimp. But the real show stopper is the steak taco. It was so tender and flavor full. I ordered it without the cheese and I'm glad I did because it's the star of the dish all on its own. The rice and beans were lovely too, flavor yet light. The whole meal was exactly what I needed to recharge. I think one of the best things is this meal is light yet fulfilling. You don't feel bloated, overly full, or heavy. It's not greasy. It's refreshing. Thank you so much for the perfect post race meal!

Service was quick as you order at the counter and they'll bring out your food. There is some indoor bar seating but mostly seating outside. The tacos were good to satisfy cravings, but not quite sure I'd necessarily return. I've had better in SF Bay Area, but I did like how soft the tortillas were here and the salsas were also fresh and tasty. The meats (al pastor & asada) on the tacos weren't the most flavorful. I did like how they provided a green onion on the side with your plate of tacos. They also had a lunch special which seemed like a good deal at $18 for 3 tacos, chips and salsa, and an agua Fresca.

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.
