    It's really the killer!!! Their Chilaquiles and biscuit gravy were delish!! Beware of the red salsa though, it was sooo spicy‍ don't you worry, you can choose other kinds of salsa. I also ordered Cafe Olla and it was amazing. Our waitress was super nice.

    We had the Chilaquiles and Angus Burger on Brioche Bun and both were extraordinary! They were cooked to perfection, very fresh, and had wonderful flavor! Our server, Gil was so warm, kind, efficient, and personable! He went the extra mile to take pictures of us! We truly appreciated him.

    This place is pretty good. A hidden gem if you will. The yelp reviews speak for themselves. I've been here 3 times before. I've gotten the chillakiles, churro French toast and the breakfast salad. The menu and drinks are great everything looks amazing. Went again today and got the chilakiles. They were good but I will warn the chips get soggy. And the egg on mine today was not cooked at all , the white part was still slimy . The chicken wasn't as good as before when I got it the last time. The previous times I've been here I've been super happy. Today not as much but it was still good and I'll still give them a try another time. Maybe it was an off day. Also the server came by nonstop until we got our food. Then we never saw him again and had to wait forever to get a check. I'm also a bit bummed because the breakfast salad I got last time was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So so good and unique And they took it off the menu For some reason. It's always insanely full and busy in there so be prepared to wait if you go! Also they ask you only stay for 90mins, no longer cause they need the tables. The prices are definitely high but it's good food and the portions are huge. I'd definitely come back To try more off the menu. The lunch looks great as well.

    This is my 4th time eating here, and first time I strayed from the chilequiles. Today was my sons 12th grade graduation!!! We've been wanting to bring him here. This restaurant is ran so perfectly. Everyone is on top of their jobs and make it all look so easy. Friendly. The food is amazing. So today my daughter tryed the Mimosa flight, and I the passion fruit mimosa single. So good but I liked the lavender lemon best. I tryed the B.E.S.T Breakfast sandwich with potatoes. Bacon.Eggs.Spinach.Tomatoes The sandwich is really tasty and probably really the best breakfast sandwich ive had. My fiance had the chicken basil bowl, very good! The chicken was very flavorful. He really liked it. My son had al pastor Chilequiles, he loved it. My daughter had the Juevos rancheros, it had the wrong eggs, she wanted scrambled. Since they remembered that she cant eat avacado she was satisfied, and enjoyed her breakfast. She said it was very good. We all shared the Tres Leche pancakes. Omg! Heaven. This restaurant is one of our favorite go tos. If you dont try it, your missing out! Go there. Lol.

    Second time was a charm! Got the chilaquiles with verde, and it was scrumptious! My mate got fish tacos and was blown away! Mexican hot chocolate was heavenly! We watched as the kind hostess placed a lady, her blind companion and his seeing eye dog in a perfect spot so all three were comfortable. The staff makes this place the best!

    Food is amazing, I have visited this place on multiple occasions and have been delighted every time. The chilaquiles are a must "green salsa" those are my favorite For coffee you should try the Cafe de hoya... their other coffees are also really good but the Cafe de Hoya is another world. Service is excellent and I love that they always are so cheerful Ambiance is casual but dressy I give this place a 5 star rating on all counts.

    This is my second time coming here, we're not from around the area but it is so delicious that whenever we are, we stop for breakfast! It is generally full but the wait is worth it, the staff is so friendly and the service is always quick, the place itself is big too so they are able to accommodate large groups. 10/10! ‍

    SEP2025 Cute spot. I was surprised as we hadn't ventured here yet though we're always in this area. We decided to stop in for brunch. Service checked in frequently and refilled water also. They answered any questions we had. It was also quite busy so it was nice how much they stopped by. My partner ordered the fish sandwich, and I got a latte and the chilaquiles with chicken added. Everything was cooked really well. Partner liked how fresh the fish tasted and the light crunch. The chilaquiles was simple and rich. The chicken flavorful and not dry in the least. The red sauce really pulled everything together. The tortilla underneath soaked up a lot and made for a great medium. I think the only thing I'd want is a bit more crunch somewhere. We'll definitely have to stop by again. This was a nice discovery for the brunch scene in the area.

    I'll start with all the positives of my experience with Chila killer: Pros: Great service and really friendly and attentive. Busy but moves fast. Food portions are hearty and tasty. Coffee is strong but really tasty! An extra pro for the cute lil bolillos. Con: The prices are crazzzzyy in my opinion. They nickel and dimed for everything. Steak on your chilaquiles extra $7. I asked for asada and was expecting the actual flat steak not this but it's fine. Almond milk, another charge. Flavoring for coffee, another charge. I literally looked at the receipt and was like geeez I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the water. In summary, is chila killer worth it? I'd say sure if I'm in the area and want Mexican food but come prepared to pay a pretty penny. I get inflation is crazy but I still think prices were insane for no reason.

    Met one of my sisters here for brunch, hadn't seen her in a while. I believe it was both of our first time there. I was conflicted on what to drink because they had so many amazing drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Our waitress was awesome! She was like a whole vibe, very on top of it, very friendly, very funny. I should've got her name for this review. You know when you're out having a girls brunch and your waitresses is awesome too it just makes the whole event perfect . The food was delicious the drinks were fabulous! Nothing fancy about the restaurant very basic but has big nice widows and I love to people watch! I definitely will be back here.

    Chilaquiles w over easy eggs and roja sauce and smoked pork chop
    Doris C.

    Delicious food and prompt, friendly service. The place is packed for breakfast/brunch and they hustle! Our party of 4 arrived at 10am on a Sunday and joined the waiting list. They have a great website that keeps you posted on wait times. Accurate w 30 min estimate. Upon our being seated, our server showed up within a few minutes and took our drink and food orders. Drinks showed up within minutes and food in another 10-15 min. We ordered: chilaquiles w smoked pork chop, chorizon con papas, churro French toast w eggs and bacon, and avocado and bacon benny. Food arrived hot with generous portions. Eggs ordered over easy were still gooey. All were happy and digging in. House unsweetened mango ice tea and mocha w Ghiradelli chocolate were standouts. They even gave us more coffee and iced tea to go. We'll be back for more breakfast as well as trying their lunch. Yay for small businesses that continue to deliver and in a prompt, friendly atmosphere!

    Breakfast enchiladas
    William O.

    My wife and I love Chila-Killer Cafe. The service is always friendly and fast even when busy. The ambience is warm and clean with lots of plants around the restaurant. It has a rustic feel with its decor. The food here is very special. I don't know of any other place where you can choose from so many options for your chilaquiles. Typically, it's just red or green salsa, but here they have four options with different levels of heat. I've tried them all, but my personal favorite is the Borracha which has roasted tomato, jalapeño and beer! It's so delicious with a little heat but not much. There are so many flavors on the plate, plus I highly recommend getting the smoked pork chop. My wife had the breakfast enchiladas, which came with a beautiful salad. The sauce in the enchiladas was smoky, a little sweet and spicy. Finally, we shared the Killer Waffle, which has lots going on. I recommend asking for some whipped cream with it!

    Delicious brunch with a low key vibe. Service was prompt and personable. Pretty full for a Thursday morning. We had the chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros with fried egg like i like it. Good portion sizes. Drinks (mango tajin mimosa and white wine). Will return to try more options!

The overall effect was like eating a piece of cake that had fallen in a puddle of milk - with dried leaves in the icing. I had three bites and then told them guy behind the counter that it had no flavor and all he could offer was "I'm sorry". For $8 and no offer to make it right, it was a really bad experience and I would never go there again.

When we got there, even though it said they were open, they were definitely closed and no one was there. We called a few times to make sure and then eventually called the other location where someone said that the restaurant should be open. We waited for a while and then finally the staff arrived. Needless to say, we were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered the chili relleno omelette and he ordered the country hash benedict. I expected that the food would take a while because the restaurant was opening from a cold start, but weirdly enough our food was out really fast. I was a little bit off put by this but we tucked into our food anyway to give them a fair shot. My omelette was extremely bland and so were my potatoes. It came with salsa and desperately needed every drop. Hubby felt the same way about his breakfast, heavy and very bland... and ultimately we ended up taking everything to go and feeding it to our chickens. I felt like the price was really high for the low quality and the food flavor was really mediocre. Such a shame too because this is such a great location.... The old pongos? But unless they meet their quality with the price, I can't see this being very successful.

Purchases include: bear claw, chocolate chip chocolate muffin, blueberry muffin, the pecan sticky bun. 3.5 stars overall because the pastries are very doable but they 100% do not taste freshly made.

So off I went to the rewards line with receipt in hand. The attitude of the workers needs a bit adjustment or maybe a charm course in hospitality.

    TLDR: I expected nothing less from the incredible PRESS…read moreteam. Under-Study is an exceptionally creative, fun, and delicious addition to the Napa cafe scene and shines with its food items. Can't wait to come back sometime soon. ------ FOOD 1. [MUST TRY] BREAKFAST SANDWICH (5/5) I think the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had. The croissant was perfect: beautiful shape, expert lamination, extremely buttery taste, and super crispy from potentially an additional bake before becoming a sandwich. The egg was a fluffy souffle-type. Cheese and aioli were great, but most importantly, the sausage was EXCEPTIONAL. It was oddly shaped which is how you know it's a freshly-made sausage patty vs. a store-bought / freezer section sausage. 2. [MUST TRY] COCOA QUENELLE (5/5) One of the best chocolate desserts we had in Napa, and a chocolate lover's dream. The chocolate tart crust has an excellent chocolate flavor and is the kind with a very satisfying snap when you break it. The chocolate mousse covers a layer of thicker chocolate and a pool of salted caramel at the base of the tart. It's garnished with a chantilly cream quenelle on top with some candied nuts and cocoa nibs. Not only is this beautiful, but this is delicious. A must-have the next time I'm here. 3. [MUST TRY] SALMON RILLET (5/5) Super unique and high protein. Flattened and fried salmon skins that serve as your "chip". The "dip" is this lean trout + creme fraiche mixture topped with a layer of trout roe. The dip is on the leaner side vs. creamy side, so the salmon skin isn't hard enough to actually dip in the mixture. Better to use a fork to scoop the dip onto the salmon skin. 4. AVOCADO TOAST (4.5/5) Not my usual choice but the employee raved about this item. The avocado and kosho are mashed together into a smooth mousse that's then piped onto a great slice of sourdough. The acidity and kick of the kosho really shone through, making this better than most other avo toasts I've tried. 5. WAGYU SKEWERS (4/5) Two skewers with 3 pieces of wagyu each. The wagyu was good with flavorful salsa verde, but some pieces were a little tough. 6. GARDEN SALAD (4/5) Great, bright, simple salad. Large portion, great for some greens on the table! 7. BRIOCHE TART (3.5/5) Reminded me of a Czech kolache -- essentially a danish but instead of a puff pastry dough, it's a soft brioche bread. The center had a cream cheese and raspberry filling. While the filling was delicious and the brioche was nice, there was a bit too big of a brioche-to-filling ratio for my personal preference. 8. PAIN SUISSE (2/5) Given the ham, cheese, and mustard, felt like a play on a cubano. While the flavors were there, the pastry was unfortunately a bit dense and lacked the buttery, flakey layers I was hoping for. I asked for this to be warmed up, which they happily accommodated, but strangely the ham inside was actually cold, even after being in the oven. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Beautiful cafe right next to the fabulous PRESS Restaurant in St. Helena. Essentially, it's on the road toward downtown but without the traffic of having to enter the downtown area. * Huge parking lot so parking is convenient and shouldn't be an issue * Both a large outdoor area with several different tables and high-top seats, as well as indoor seating (though only a few two-person high top tables and a handful of lower stool seats) * Overall the style is bright, colorful, and perfect for a girls trip, breakfast/lunch with friends, and quick stop for a coffee and pastry ------ SERVICE: * Surprisingly hit or miss. There was a gentleman here whom I interacted with the most who was absolutely wonderful and a joy to chat with. Similarly, another woman who seemed important was very kind. But a couple other employees were expressionless toward me. * Some items were ready surprisingly quickly while others took a surprisingly slow time to come out. For example, the breakfast sandwich and salmon rillets were super speedy. But then the wagyu and avo toast took 20-30 minutes to come out. Similarly, when I asked for the pan suisse to be heated up, it took over 10 minutes for them to do so.
