    The best
    Kawehionapua Y.

    When visiting the Martinez Farmers Market we head directly to their booth! It's the first thing we do before any shopping. I highly recommend the Mushroom and Breakfast as a starter. All their empanadas are delicious so there's no going wrong. They have specials during the week so this week it was the Caprese, fantastic. The staff is always friendly and it's so great, the line is around the corner if you get there later in the day...also, they sell out so get there early.

    Visiting Napa and was craving something savory. Found Cocina Milonga with great reviews. They were closed that day due to staffing issues. We went back the next day and glad we did. Cute storefront with what appears to be seating outside in good weather (nothing setup outside when we arrived early am) One table and some counter seating inside. Nice cozy restaurant for a snack. Huge selection of savory and sweet empanadas. We ordered a dozen mixed savory empanadas. They also serve coffee drinks. Empanadas come in their own little paper envelopes which are individually labeled with the type so we can easily figure out which one we wanted to try. Nice touch! Favorites were Chorizo, Spinach, Mushroom and Fugazetta. $5.50 each which is not bad considering there is another Empanada vendor in the area that charges $7.

    I had a late lunch (around 3 pm). Someone was there ready to help me. The decor is festive and modern. The branding is on point. I ordered the beef and chicken empanadas. At $5.50 each, it's cheaper than the ones found in Oxbow Market (although I haven't compared the sizes). They were good and they satisfied my late afternoon cravings. I also had a cold brew to go with the food and it made every other bite go down well. Empanadas and coffee -- what a great combo!

    First time wine tasting with friends and we were in a rush before our 2nd of 3 locations. We first visited a restaurant but there was a lengthy wait so we decided to drive in the direction of our 2nd wine tasting area to look for something quick to eat. Great decision! Walking in, it was small but very welcoming. Very vibrant colors for the decor. I ordered the Chorizo empanada. MAN it was good. I wish I had ordered a few more to go. It was filling, very good and affordable! I don't visit Napa often but I will definitely be back here when I'm in the area.

    "Breakfast" empanada from Cocina Milonga, Napa

    We caught up with Milonga's fabulous empanadas at the Napa Farmer's Market where they had a nice large display. Beef, chicken, pork, sweet potato, spinach and yes, vegan options (roasted veggies, potato and apple) all available this morning. I opted for the "Breakfast" empanada which included eggs, cheddar cheese and bacon. Absolutely delicious and a great first bite. Not bad at all for $5.

    This was my first time trying this joint and it didn't disappoint. The food was amazing and the service was amazing as well. As you can see from the pictures the Ambiance was chill with amazing smells the moment you walk in. We tried the Ham&Cheese, the Argentinian Chorizo, the mushroom and the Apple empanadas. All the ones we tried were filled with amazing flavors. The chimichurri was, as the owner says, magical sauce. It was all a perfect balance of amazing food, great service and a chill spot to come visit. If you're in the Napa area you must come to this spot, you will not be disappointed.

We were looking for dessert - something not too sweet. And this was the perfect spot! We had a manzana empanada and a banana y dulce de leche empanada. Both were good - they were warm and freshly baked. I will definitely be back to try some of their savory empanadas. Looking through their website, they also have a location at the Ferry Building and in SOMA. They can also be found at various Farmer's Markets around the Bay Area. I had no idea! They even have catering and delivery options via Uber Eats, Door Dash, or directly from El Porteno's themselves. This is a great business to patronize - unique and delicious.

My usuals are their camarones (shrimp), the espinacas y panceta (spinach bacon and parmesan), and the champiñones (mushroom). The empanadas are served hot, flaky, and contain with a generous amount of filing. If they are out of a particular one at the window, just ask, they will bake a frozen one, which may take 5-7 minutes. I've also tried their carne and pollo empanadas which are also great but the three mentioned above are my favorites. I love that they put the empanadas in labeled sleeves so you actually know which is which! I've been to places that just stamp a letter on the crust, and half the time you can't even read it. This way is much easier especially when you're ordering a bunch of them like me. They are easy to eat on the go or grab a table at either end of Oxbow Market. Don't forget to get a side of their Chimmichuri sauce for $1.50. The sauce really completes the empanada! The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to make recommendations if you can't decide. You can't go wrong with any of them as I've tried them all the last few years.

Unfortunately, my experience fell short in a few meaningful ways. I ordered a lavender coffee latte, which I was really looking forward to, but it lacked flavor and was disappointing enough that I chose not to purchase anything further. That alone might not have stopped me from returning, but what followed did. Knowing European culture, and especially Parisian cafés, are often very dog-friendly, and given Napa's well-known dog-loving atmosphere, I felt comfortable bringing my dog, who is a service animal. I was immediately asked to leave because only service animals are allowed, with the assumption made that my dog was not one. While he is in fact a service animal, the interaction left me feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. There was no curiosity or neutral clarification... just an assumption and a request to leave. That moment really deflated the excitement I had walking in. Between the coffee experience and feeling unwelcome, I decided not to stay as long as planned or purchase anything further. I'm glad to see that others have had better experiences here, and the pastries certainly look lovely. I suppose those interested should trust other reviewers on that front. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be returning.

The lamb sausage was in a red sauce and was so tasty and well prepared. For my main I got the milanesa napolitano with a side salad (instead of fries). The cutlet was huge and I loved every bite of it! I'm only in Napa for a few days so was happy we stumbled across this one-- I recommend this spot if you like meat and you're pretty hungry!

Seems to be quite the local favorite and a good amount of parking nearby. Generally very positive thoughts on the food quality, though much less on the spicy heat and more on the veggies in the platters.

On the plus, their pita is very fresh and remarkably chewy. Greek fries were fantastic, just enough feta cheese with drizzle of olive oil and touch of salt on top of super crispy fries.
