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.

The nachos were really good, I wish I had asked for an extra side of salsa because all of the flavor/meat was on the top and the bottom of the bowl was just beans, still delicious but could have used more flavor. The chicken taquitos were also really good! We got 4 margaritas and two food items for $66 before tip, not bad for Napa! I'm not sure if the happy hour time is purely for winter but happy Hour from 11:30am-6pm is a great way to get the locals in!!

Our spicy margaritas came out first, with the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spice. We sat outside in the sunshine, with no trouble finding a table with the large outdoor patio. The dirty fries and tacos were absolutely delicious, the meat was succulent with a nice heat from the various types of salsa. The spicy margarita gave a nice cold relief to the spice from the food and I could have had another. Definitely worth the stop if you're in Napa or driving through.

Walked up and quickly placed our order. Food: Chips and Salsa - large variety of salsas so decided to add an order of chips to try the variety, verde was my personal favorite here bright, refreshing tomotillo with a little bit of jalapeno kick, the other salsas were okay Al pastor taco - solid, meat had decent seasoning but was hoping for more char but a solid Al pastor fresh pineapple was a nice touch Mushroom taco - not good, had an almost sour flavor, appreciated the cheese crust but the tart note from the mushrooms really put us off for this one Carne asada taco - fine, lightly seasoned, beef portion felt generous, salsa doing the heavy lifting for flavor but a solid choice Chicharrones taco - a bit disappointed, chicharrones wasn't super hot or crispy, was hoping this would be fresher but felt like the meat had been sitting for a while Service was fine, fast casual order at the counter and pick up your order from the pass when ready, everything else is self serve. Overall pretty disappointed by Mother's Tacos. Tried a variety pack of tacos and most under delivered given the rave reviews was expecting more. I was hoping to try the suadero but they were out so maybe braised meats are the way to go if you do visit would suggest visiting earlier cause 2:30pm seems like they food wasn't the freshest.

Five stars, not because it was over the top, but because I have no complaints. Don Perico met my expectation for a Mexican restaurant in Napa. I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas with two soft corn tortillas, filled with seasoned chicken, topped with our homemade tomatillo salsa verde (which contains pork) and melted cheese - I ate half and was able to enjoy the rest at home the next day. It was delicious. I do recommend trying it. Husband had the fish tacos, and our friend had a bean & cheese burrito. Overall, we had a good dining experience. Restaurant was clean and noise level was average.

I started with a classic margarita, and it was perfectly executed--balanced, refreshing, with a properly salted rim and a clean, classic presentation. For food, I ordered the campechano with shrimp and octopus, and it was outstanding. The seafood was fresh and generous, the octopus was incredibly tender, and the shrimp were large and flavorful. It immediately reminded me of being on the coast in places like Rosarito or Ensenada--very authentic and well done. The setting is also a huge plus, especially the back patio right along the Napa River. It creates a relaxed, scenic atmosphere that really elevates the entire experience. Great food, great service, and a beautiful location. I'll definitely be back.

It's a small and casual operation - there's a large seating area behind the restaurant with self serve water. Limited parking out front, and the back lot (with the seating) also has some space for parking, but it's not hard to find parking in the surrounding area. The food here is awesome - deep flavors and genuinely a ton of craft in their work (tamales and tortillas made fresh, you can see them making it through the window by the register). The food is pretty classic, but just executed so well - I really don't think you can go wrong. My personal favorites are the mole enchiladas / tamales (gently sweet, smoky mole, not overly chocolatey and really balanced, especially with a side of pickles) and the fish tacos (GIGANTIC).

The first time…read moreI tried it was when my girlfriend asked if I wanted to order tamales, and they were incredible. Since I knew we were going to be passing by, I had to stop in and try it for myself. I ordered a couple of tamales, one chicken mole and one pork. The pork tamale was delicious, and the chicken mole was so good too. I am not usually used to eating mole, but this one was rich, flavorful, and unique. You could really taste the depth in the sauce. I also tried the crispy shrimp tacos, and the shrimp were enormous. They were served on corn tortillas with shredded cabbage and definitely gave me Baja vibes. Overall, everything was delicious, fresh, and made with high quality ingredients. When we arrived, it was packed with a long line, which says a lot. I also loved that they have a grab and go fridge with lots of items to take home. I would definitely go back for more. Great food and friendly staff!
