Chorizo pizzeta
Teresa B.

We discovered this place today and we're glad we did. My husband got the chorizo pizzeta and a beef empanada. I got the mushroom empanada and the fugazzeta empanada. Both were soooooo good. I had the good sense of getting a couple of apple empanadas for dessert. They had a crispy coating of caramelized sugar and sugar crystals. The Granny Smith apple filling tasted fresh without being too sweet. We'd love to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend.

Cuernito con Dulce de Leche - this reminded me of an Argentinian"Factura" he made it fresh, a must have for a sweet tooth.

I got so excited seeing an Argentinian empanadas place! When we got there, we saw that it is Argentinian AND Colombian. We were told the two owners/partners, one is Argentinian and the other Colombian. Is a nice food combo. We ordered the Beef, Chicken, Ham n Cheese, & Chorizo empanadas. Husband liked the Beef, was actually very good w the traditional filling (raisins Baby!) The chicken empanada was MY fave, it just hit the spot - very Argentinian filling - I wanna say is a must try! Chorizo, we thought it tasted like pizza w sausage Ham n Cheese was OK - in my defense I was never a fan of this one as a kid. Their dough is excellent! Super delicious and perfectly baked! Yes, their empanadas are all baked. They also sell unbaked empanadas to take home, easy to do. Bathroom was clean, a lil off putting having to go thru part of the kitchen but at least the whole place looked very clean, huge points in my book for that. For any Argentinians out there or peeps in the know... they also had Mate cups w Mafalda! And yerba mate to go. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!

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.

Individually bagged empanadas

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!

"Breakfast" empanada from Cocina Milonga, Napa
Bruce K.

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.

chorizo empanada
Joseph R.

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.

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.

I started with the Iced Matcha Fog Latte, and it was fantastic. Super smooth, creamy, and refreshing with that clean matcha flavor that isn't overly sweet or heavy. It's the kind of drink that wakes you up without the usual coffee jitters and feels perfect sitting outside in the sunshine. After that, I tried the Turmeric Latte, which was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. It had a beautiful golden color, a subtle earthy spice, and a smooth finish that made it feel almost like a wellness drink and a treat at the same time. I also grabbed an Almond croissant, and it was exactly what you want with a latte -- flaky, buttery, dusted with powdered sugar, and topped with sliced almonds. Messy in the best possible way. The shop itself has a really cool vibe. The interior is modern with warm lighting, plants, and plenty of seating, and the outdoor patio is perfect on a sunny Napa day if you want to sit back and relax for a bit. Great drinks, great pastries, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Ohm Coffee is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

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.

Food ordered: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich: classic & simple. Was piping hot when we got it and so good Drinks ordered: Bee's Knees Matcha (8/10): I love a blueberry cold foam and loved how it was honey matcha. I will say the matcha is definitely on the milky side but I didn't mind as I enjoyed the overall taste of everything Coffee Flight (10/10): the #1 thing I wanted to try on their menu ever since I saw it. The flavors included were Hazy Dayz, Earth's Revival, Lotus and Enter Sandman. I liked Hazy Dayz and Lotus the most, but everything overall was yummy. They also ask you your milk preference, hot or cold and if you want whipped cream or not. We opted for no whipped cream and I think that was perfect since the drinks were already pretty sweet. Cup of Joe: we ordered 2 cups of this at different times but the first time they asked if we wanted dark or medium roast (we picked medium) but the second time they didn't ask so not sure what the second cup was.

I may not be a plain coffee expert- but specialty coffees- this is a solid go to!

EDIT: Someone was finally able to get back to me and they…read morehandled it professionally, very appreciative of that. Came in on a Saturday morning to grab breakfast. I placed my order and asked for muffins, but was told they were sold out. I could clearly see five on the counter, and the employee explained they were already spoken for. I mentioned my kid would be disappointed and asked if there was anything they could do. One employee immediately said no, while another kindly checked in the back and was able to find one muffin for us, which I appreciated. A little later I noticed packaged muffins in the display case and asked if I could buy those, but again was told no. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse from there. I realized after leaving that I never received the pizza I had ordered, and the avocado toast made me extremely sick. I spent the rest of the day dealing with what felt like serious food poisoning. I called afterward to request a refund ( I only asked to refund the avocado toast and the pizza) and left a voicemail. No one returned my call. I called again and spoke with someone who said the manager had just left and would call me back. Again, no response. They mentioned refunding my card and I gave my card digits, but I'm pretty sure I had actually paid cash. Either way, I mainly wanted to speak with a manager about the situation, and no one ever followed up. What's especially disappointing is that I live nearby, come here often, and genuinely love this place. That's why this experience was so frustrating. I understand busy weekends happen, but the lack of communication and follow-up after getting sick was really disappointing.

It's a soft, delicious bit vs the usual bready chew and lets the egg and bacon or sausage shine.
