    Somewhat typical family-owned authentic Mexican restaurant. Bright, cheery, and tacky decor. Attentive and friendly service. Huge outside patio. Loved my chicken enchiladas. Beer and (bad) wine only so no real margaritas :/

    This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in Napa, if you go there for lunch, all the locals and work trucks are parked so the food must be good. We tried it and it's very good. We are from the Bay Area and drive to Napa at least once a month and that is our to go for lunch place.

    Tried this place for the first time today at lunch with some of my coworkers. Honestly, I really liked it. Really nice outdoor seating patio. The tables and chairs are beautiful. Service was really fast. Our waiter and waitress really nice and brought extra chips and salsa and grab extra salsa when requested. Also brought out a pitcher of water since one of my coworkers requested it. I got super nachos and honestly I really like them. They were really good. A lot of toppings, the al pastor meat was tender and the chips are really good not overly salty. Honestly, I would love to come back here. No complaints.

    Very good rice, beans and enchiladas tender meat, beef/chicken. The only reasons not 5* is the guacamole could use improvement. Waitress was a doll, I may come back next time I'm up from the Bay Area, just won't order the side of guac. A bit misleading because it seemed like it came with it but only with cheese enchiladas.

    Probably leaning more towards a 3.5 star review but decided to round up. There are some tables inside but the night we came it was extremely loud so we sat outside in the covered portion. Our server was a little short with us - maybe because they were busy? We shared the chili verde plate - food was definitely good! Will go back again for the food but not the service. Also had a margarita and it was ok.

    we went here to get a to go order. The place was cute on the inside and the yard looks amazing! Can't wait to come back when it gets warm! We only got bean burritos, but they were delicious! Best I'd had in a long time. The chips and salsa were very good as well. We will be back!

    I love the chicken they do here, in particular the chicken enchiladas! The chicken was tender and juicy, packed with spices and flavor, topped off with goey melted cheese and a rich mole sauce. I'm still dreaming of it hours later. We showed up with a large group and our server did a great job taking orders and serving 25 people. The chips were crunchy and freshly fried. The salsas had a little kick to them, but also tons of flavor. I had a crunchy taco as well, which was greasy, yet delicious. My wife tried the beef on a tostada which she said was good, but didn't compare with the chicken. The presentation of all the food was bright, beautifully plated, and very satisfying. Next time I'm in Napa, I will remember to hit this place up again.
