    Breakfast of champions

    Every time we go to bottle rock, we always come to the spot. They're all a store Carne Asada all is good, but the California burrito is my favorite. Add guacamole.

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Monica S.

    Food: Being the total taco fiend I am, I was in Napa for the day and decided to check out some new taco trucks and this little gem popped up on my radar. Ordered 2 carne asada and 2 pastor tacos. The food was nicely plated with jalepenos and carrots on the side. The serving portion size was good. The food for me was a 3.5/5. The meat was tender but could have been better seasoned. That said I am a bit of a taco snob as I probably have tacos 3-4 times a week so you have to come strong to impress me. Ambiance: The truck is parked in front of a house and there are nice benches for customers to enjoy their food. Service: This is their strong point. The service was excellent. The cashier was friendly and the food was served rather quickly. Parking: Parking is on the street in a residential area Overall: The food was decent but the service was great! If you are not to picky and in the area stop by.

    Passing through Napa with construction safety team and did a search and found this taco truck, WOW tacos are FN delicious Asado or Al pastor..the guys ordered Fish and shrimp tacos and they said tacos were really good.. We are definitely coming back in 2-3 weeks.

    Surf and turf fries
    Huemac F.

    Went in today and for the third time in a row they got my order wrong . . . Then got over charged 4 dollars. . . Basically ordered 2 surf & turf XLs & got charged for shrimp only. . . Then was given 2 surf & turf reg size. . . So they basically took the two reg fries and put it into bigger plates and just added a lot more toppings. So there were only fries on one corner of the plate. . . Come here pretty often prob won't anymore. . . the fries are delicious when made right tho . . . Still gavem a tip even tho they over charged me and I was 1,000 percent sure for them to get my order right because like I said third time in a row even made him repeat it . . . Oh well bro said he got me "next time"

    Surf n Turf Steak Fries

    I always get the steak fries here they are amazing. This time I tried the surf n turf (shrimp & steak), so good! I love that they have a few picnic tables at which you can sit at and eat your meal.

    Chicken and beef taco
    Lisa B.

    Yummy tacos! Super tasty asada taco and shredded chicken pollo street taco ($3.50 each). Liked the grilled jalapeño and onions on the side and fresh cucumbers. Kind and prompt service.

    Lorenzo K.

    The staff was friendly and I thought it was cool that they had seating available in front of the trucks to enjoy your food there. The prices were reasonable as well. Based on the really good reviews I had high expectations going in. I felt like the meat lacked flavor. The food was fine but I've had better and I've definitely had far worse as well. I recommend trying it out for yourself. I liked the tacos the most.

    Super burrito
    Patrick B.

    The burritos themselves tasted good, we had the california burrito and pastor super burrito. The super burrito had no sour cream or guacamole and just a little salsa, it was just a regular burrito. The california burrito was just fries, steak and lettuce and salsa. It was missing the key ingredient avocados and crema. A bit disappointing but still tasted good.

    Two carne asada tacos $3.5 each PACKED with meat.
    Teena B.

    Taco truck with a nice spot in the shade and plenty of benches to eat on-site. My Mexican Coca Cola was ice cold and refreshing while I waited for my tacos. What I ordered: two carne asada tacos with no raw onions only grilled. The tacos were ready in about 5 minutes, were packed full of meat, and served with lime and grilled peppers. The salsa was flavorful but not too spicy. The tacos were delicious and the portions were generous. We were the first of the lunch rush and after we ordered there was a long line of people who were ready to order as well. I am so glad we decided to give this place a try as it is much better than some of the more popular places on yelp. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you to the friendly staff for a great experience!

    3 Carne Asada Tacos
    Kamonte D.

    The best tacos in Napa!! And honestly some of the best tacos I've had in a while. My wife always normally gets carne asada and she loved it! The meat is so tender and delicious with a good flavor too! The salsa they put on the tacos is so delicious. I had tripas(intestines) and cabeza(cow head) which my absolute favorite types of meat and this place does it's right! Don't be afraid to try it just because of what it is, if it looks good, eat it! Some of the best tacos I've had in a long time and they are not shy on the meat! Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the area!

    Carne asada meat was stringy and the red sauce was runny. No guac on it. No horchata also. Fries were also a bit soft.

    Do they cater to parties?

    Yes, since they're not always in front of Universal Auto Repair ;) When they're off at catering events, they're not at their usual spot. Learned that from firsthand experience. Having experienced their food&service, yes, they're PERFECT for catering… Read more

    Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

    We hired Gabe & Ring of Fire in 2019 for our June 2020 wedding. We had come by to do a tasting and…read morehe had a huge spread ready for us and another couple. All of the food was delicious (and the artichoke dip is still my favorite thing ever). We were given the option to pay in full upfront so we did.  When Covid hit, Gabe was very understanding and accommodating about moving the date, which we did twice. We finally celebrated in June 2022, and unfortunately the team was dealing with some key staff out for Covid.  We were super happy with Gabe until pretty much the day of the wedding itself. He had previously said he was going to come by in the morning for setup but never showed up or answered our message asking if he was still coming. We were also supposed to have the big truck showcased on the property and they arrived with the smaller truck. Come to find out the big truck had been inoperable and they couldn't fix it that morning. When the staff started arriving, the first thing they tell me is how they're short staffed and needed to move their crew around, service might be slower, etc. This felt unprofessional especially since it all ended up being fine. We paid for 120 head count and only had about 90 ppl show up, so we told them to leave leftovers. I'm not sure what happened but we had zero leftovers, even though Gabe was saying we'd have a bunch. They also didn't serve coffee in the evening though we had paid for it. Overall we've gotten so much positive feedback on the food and bar, the crew was great, but the unprofessionalism in the final moments really left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure some of this had to do with the fact that we paid in 2019 and that doesn't feel fair given that it was an option he offered to us.
