Camaron a la Diabla
Anabel U.

While we ordered online, I had higher hopes after it was recommended by a couple people. I ordered the camarones a la diabla but the sauce wasnt a traditional sauce. This tasted like a regular spicy salsa (with lots of oregano) and they just added a chipotle to try and match the flavor. The other items were just alright. The guacamole needed salt and jalapeño to be spicy and with more flavor. May give them another chance if I'm in the area.

A few of my favs

Authentic, delicious Mexican food. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make this spot a must-try when in Napa.

Crispy Taco and Tostada combo plate
Amadeo D.

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.

Chicken nuggets with fries

Other than coming during the afternoon when it was blazing hot! Food was great and service was awesome! Tried new dishes that I loved. The only downside is it is so hot and barely any fans. Today was the start of a heatwave. The enchiladas were great but the enchiladas de res could use carne asada instead. The shredded beef was nowhere near as flavorful as the shrimp and chicken enchiladas. Parking lot is small and street parking limited. Come early for a good spot.

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.

Torta

The old man owner was very nice and he gave me free sauce, and utensils. I bought the steak torta

Glad to see that they updated this place. They're back in their game. They expanded their patio w lots of seatings & beautiful landscape, - pretty succulents & lights. Staff are very nice & attentive. Inside they furnished it w custom made, hand-painted tables, chairs-even their counter & kids chairs are hand painted. Most of all, their food are so delicious & good portions. Please come and see this place!!!

Super Nachos!
Amanda M.

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.

Alexandra D.

For starters we were Blown away by the attentiveness and kindness of the waitress may 26 out in the patio around noon! Our drinks were always full, the chips and salsa endlessly flowing. The menu is very large and I had a hard time deciding but I ended up choosing Chile verde bc I've been searching for a particular flavor and wow wow wow this plate did not disappoint! The sauce was so tangy and bright. The meat ever so tender and well marinated. I had to eat slower so I wouldn't woof it down so fast! Boyfriend had a taco plate that I was told was delicious, he didn't share, he enjoyed it too much. We are Excited to visit this establishment again. Thank you, muchas gracias

Service was great and our waitstaff were incredibly kind and attentive. I shared the empanada for an appetizer, and it was so delicious! The chimichurri was amazing and it was one of the best empanadas Ive had :) I do wish we got two for the price ($12), but I'm glad I tried it. For my main, I ordered the chilaquiles since I have been craving them. They're not your typical salsa verde chilaquiles, esp w the scrambled egg and lack of salsa verde, but they're still great! I think I prefer a fried egg for my chilaquiles instead of scrambled, but if you are into scrambled eggs and ham, this would be a good option. Overall would come back if I'm in the area! The people are nice, the place is cute, and I enjoyed the food!

However, the bagel and cream cheese were just that. I think it could definitely be better quality. Eggs Benedict - 2.5/5 Average..nothing blew my mind. I like that they use quality English muffins, looks like it's from Model Bakery (if you know, you know). Potato cake was mushy and flavorless. Argentine Empanadas - 3.5/5 Good flavors. You could taste the cumin in the meat. The chimichurri sauce complements the dish. If a place uses olives and has a boiled egg in it, the empanada is legit. However, they must've forgot to add the egg in mine. -1 point. Glad that they kept it traditional. Cornbread - 3/5 This came out a bit cold in the center. Already threw me off on that one, but it had good notes. The lavender honey butter takes it to another level...5/5 Friendly staff.

The food looked amazing and the decor looked worth checking out in the other reviews. From the service to the vibe to the food, everything was on point and exceeded expectations. The stuffed French toast was beyond filling. You'd think it'd be extremely sweet but the sweetness was subtle and didn't overpower my taste buds. The side of fried chicken was a must after seeing it was their claim to fame. It was slightly dry but seasoned incredibly well. The highlight, decor-wise, was their superhero-themed restroom. The walls were full of every Marvel and DC character you could imagine. Every time my wife and I travel we always try to find a place that we'd revisit. Sunshine Cafe will be that spot in Napa. It'll be a go-to before every drive back home. Can't wait to comeback and try more of their menu as everything looked and sounded delicious.

The lines in the morning definitely get long. Don't expect to loiter inside; there are signs kindly asking to wait for your order at their outside tables. They estimated about 30 minutes for my order of 2 sandwiches and a coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised when they called my name after 15 minutes. I don't even usually like English muffin sandwiches but this wowed me. The inside of the muffin is so soft and the outside is griddled to a perfect crisp. A great start to my day in Napa, I'd just remember to order ahead online next time.

Mind you the only English muffins I have to compare these to are the Thomas English muffins at the grocery store, so trying these fresh ones was definitely an upgrade. I love how buttery and soft they are, and they taste great at home toasted with jam! I've also tried The Original Breakfast Sandwich and have to admit while it's good for what it is it isn't necessarily life changing. I honesty thought of it as a boujee McDonalds Egg McMuffin. There isn't any special flavor to it like sauce or seasoning, so if you're a plain breakfast sandwich kind of person then this would be a great option for you.
