    Four star because the price is too high. The Tacos's are good, they have lots of flavor. They only carry specials during the weekend . They are cordial and the restaurant is very clean.

    Came here to get dinner to go. It was my first time with my family. The team here were nice and kind, very helpful about exhaling the menu and their systems! My family got a few different things. Tried a miulita, and two tacos. I also got the watermelon Fresca. The place was clean and homey. I got the Al Pastor O.G. Taco, Carne Asada taco, and Suadero Mulita. Got different salsa as well - so good!

    This is THEEEE spot for tacos in Napa. Absolutely bomb.com CDMX style Mexican food. Fresh food, handmade tortillas, the vibe in there plus the decor gives off the feeling of being in Mexico City. A bunch to choose from but I did the lengua taco, fish taco, & asada mulita. Everything was smacking! Don't forget to pair it with their horchata which is so refreshing in this summer heat. Everything is made to order so the service is quick for how the time they take to get it all prepared. If I'm craving Mexican food again in Napa this is the only restaurant I'm going to . I'll have to try one of their alcoholic drinks next time and dine in.

    I spent the weekend in Napa and visited Mother's Tacos for lunch. I arrived on Sunday and it was super busy. The line was out the door. While in line I was able to download their app and sign up for rewards. The app had a $5 off your order coupon which was awesome. The outdoor dining area was packed with customers so I placed an order to go for Dirty Fries, a Al Pastor Taco, and a Campechano Taco. They had a salsa bar with various salsas which is great as I like to try difference sauces. The Dirty Fries were packed with toppings and the sauce was amazing. The tacos were packed with meat and toppings. The pineapple slices on top of the Al Pastor Taco were a nice touch. My favorite was the Campechano Taco. It was meaty and full of flavor. Definitely my favorite taco spot in Napa. I will be back for sure.

    The family was looking for something good to eat and we saw this place on Yelp. Service was quick and easy and the staff were very helpful and patient. We bought an assortment of tacos and mulitas and everyone enjoyed them. I got a carne asada taco and a campechano mulita and both were delicious! My sister also bought chips and guacamole and a watermelon agua fresca and both were refreshing. We waited outside at one of the benches and enjoyed some cold and fresh water while we waited.

    Visited on a Saturday around 2:30pm with a friend, restaurant wasn't very busy a few guests seated on the patio but lots of tables and seats available. Walked up and quickly placed our order. Food: Chips and Salsa - large variety of salsas so decided to add an order of chips to try the variety, verde was my personal favorite here bright, refreshing tomotillo with a little bit of jalapeno kick, the other salsas were okay Al pastor taco - solid, meat had decent seasoning but was hoping for more char but a solid Al pastor fresh pineapple was a nice touch Mushroom taco - not good, had an almost sour flavor, appreciated the cheese crust but the tart note from the mushrooms really put us off for this one Carne asada taco - fine, lightly seasoned, beef portion felt generous, salsa doing the heavy lifting for flavor but a solid choice Chicharrones taco - a bit disappointed, chicharrones wasn't super hot or crispy, was hoping this would be fresher but felt like the meat had been sitting for a while Service was fine, fast casual order at the counter and pick up your order from the pass when ready, everything else is self serve. Overall pretty disappointed by Mother's Tacos. Tried a variety pack of tacos and most under delivered given the rave reviews was expecting more. I was hoping to try the suadero but they were out so maybe braised meats are the way to go if you do visit would suggest visiting earlier cause 2:30pm seems like they food wasn't the freshest.

    Holy cow, best tacos ever!! We stopped here between wineries for lunch and it was amazing, we still talk about it a week later! The ingredients are so fresh and I loved the crispy pork belly. My friends also got the Al Pastor taco which they loved, you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. Service was quick and ordering was easy. They have a small outdoor space for dining or you could sit inside as well. It wasn't that busy at all so I highly recommend stopping here.

    Clockwise: Lengua, Cabeza, Tripa ($6 each) - Friday, Saturday, Sunday only!

    IF you like your tacos hardcore, the way you like.... NVM. Let me rephrase, if you like offal, you must visit Mothers Tacos on the weekends. And, if you don't like offal....sorry, you're missing out. TBH, I thought Mothers serves gentrified tacos but their CDMX offal tacos are bomb and IMO, rivals the ones in The Mission, Excelsior, and San Jo (haven't explored the taco scene in E Oaktown). Offal tacos are $6 each and only served Friday - Sunday. Fast-casual service and mainly outdoor seating. F O O D Tacos are served on a single handmade corn tortilla that had the texture of al vapor from the piping hot proteins. They're topped with diced onions and cilantro. * Lengua: Beef Tongue My litmus test for any taqueria or taco truck, this was some of the best lengua I've had. Juicy, meltingly tender, and deeply beefy...cut in meaty slices, not cubes which made every bite even better. We contemplated returning the next day for more but were still full from brunch. * Cabeza: Beef Head Rich and savory with some fatty bits...melt in yo mouff like beef butter. Like the lengua, it's cut in larger pieces so you can enjoy the meat flavor and texture at its peak. * Tripa: Beef Intestines The tripa is cooked dorado style...freshly fried and crunchy, not greasy. Like addictive chips. * Al Pastor ($4.35) Ehhhh, the pastor was dry, gritty, and intensely smoky from the seasoning. The fresh pineapple could not mask it. Maybe we got the shaved edges from al trompo? * Chicharrón Bites ($18) A heaping pile of freshly fried pork belly, with a crackly, puffed pork skin. Good meat to fat ratio. And, most importantly...they're easy on your teeth...not tough and hard like how some chicharrón can be. YAY for the salsa bar! Except most of the salsas were no bueno. Maybe an off-batch but there were all one note: * Salsa verde: Very very cilantro forward in a medicinal kinda way. * Salsa arbol: Hella smoky. * Salsa morita: Intensely bitter. * Salsa macha: Mildly spicy. Bummed they didn't have their aguacate (avocado) or orange salsa at the bar. * Jalapeños en escabeche: Pickled jalapeño, cauliflower, carrot, and onion * Cebollas encurtidas: Pickled onions The pickled veggies was perfect in-between bites for a fresh, acidic crunch to balance the rich meats. S E R V I C E Fast-casual, FOH staff were all business and a bit cold. Self-serve water. Bus your own tables. We received our order in less than 10 minutes (weekday lunch). Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised about Mothers Tacos esp given the social media hype and it was a great break from the wine country restos that will make you go broque.

    Had to stop by and pick up tacos while visiting the area again. They've still got it. If Im ever in the area again, I hope they're just as good.

    For dining there, you order inside at the counter, they give you a number and you find your own seat. They will bring out your food when it's ready. There are a few bar seats inside, but all the tables were outside. Service was awesome, staff were friendly and asked how we were doing mid meal. Ordered 3 tacos, Carne asada, Al Pastor & Suadero on normal tortillas, 1 asada on a cheese shell, and 1 Hongo (mushroom taco) I like Suadero and Hongo tacos the most. I will definitely get those again. For my taste buds, the Carne Asada & Al Pastor could use more salt or more flavor. The meats itself were soft and tender. The homemade tortillas were Bomb.com If you want to substitute for the cheese shell, it's extra $ but gives a unique twist for a taco shell. It was a bit on the greasier side for me. I prefer their home made tortillas. There were options for different salsas, Spicy & Acidic. They also had carrots Another reason this was not a 5/5 spot for me were the onions. They cut larger pieces of onions on the tacos. It was a little overpowering and some were too raw. I definitely recommend this spot to others, tacos are on the pricier side but they give you alot of meat and you can't beat the homemade tortillas.

    I've seen this place featured on Social Media from a few people I follow, so I knew I had to match their energy and try this place out. I've been eating a lot of asian dishes + wine tastings in this time, that Mexican food has escaped me! NOT THIS TIME! I'm in California, and I will find good Mexican Tacos even if it kills me. The inside of this spot is no-frills. Go up to the counter, make your order, and if you're staying they will hand you a number to place at your table so that they can bring your food to you. Taco prices generally range from 4.50 to 5.45. The only exception? The fish taco --- that's gonna bite you at 7.75. If you want to upgrade any taco (except the fish) into a mulita (these are sandwiching meat and melted cheese between two warm tortillas, which are then grilled or pan-fried until the outside is crispy.), that'll bring each taco to $7.75 each. So if you're not careful and on a budget, you can easily splurge. The taste? Honestly, my "mexican food craving" was absolutely satiated at Mothers! So why the 4-stars? Well, I love cebollitas --- and I didn't get any!! I'm now looking at all the other photos of Yelpers, and they seem to all have that on their plates, except for mine. ALSO: as good as the fish tacos were, and they were generous (two pieces!), the oil at 6PM tasted a bit old. THANK GOD LIME EXISTS to cut through the fat. Most tables have all 4 salsas present; the jalapenos and pickled onions you will have to get for yourself. All-in-all, a great tasting taco, a clean establishment, and actually quite beautiful in presentation. This place does live up to the hype! If you're in Napa, check Mothers Taco out!

    I saw several reviews for this place on social media and knew I had to try it. Once we arrived this was our first stop after picking up the rental car and boy...it didn't disappoint. We pulled up a little confused but we quickly located the spot and a few people walking up that we had a ball with. The gentleman and his mom had of laughing and he recommended a few things and one being the fish Taco. Once we were inside we took in the menu, drinks and atmosphere and the lady waiting on us was patient. We also met a nice older gentleman that struck up a conversation with us. He was extremely friendly and he let us know that everything on the menu was a winner. After ordering my taco, margarita and chips I later found out he was the owners son and he was in town visiting. He was a joy to speak with and his son was just as nice and friendly. The taco was a nice size and a 10/10. I would purchase it over and over again. My margarita was a 7/10. Overall, this business is legit and if your in the area you should check it out.

Got the carnitas burrito and carne asada / carnitas tacos. Sadly it was all a miss. Almost everywhere in Napa gives complimentary chips salsa, maybe $1 or 2 for refill or no charge at all . Tannyas charges $4 for stale rock hard cold corn chips and charge for extra salsa. No refills! I wouldn't even mind paying for chips and salsa if it was good, but it just wasn't at all. Not BAD but ive had better at home or from the grocery store. The burrito was fairly small. Super Average filled with subpar bland spanish rice & refried beans. Carnitas was dried out. We ordered a couple more tacos those were sadly really uneventful. Super dry. Old. Not much flavor. Hard shell was tough brittle. Almost cut up my mouth a few times on the chips. Hopefully tannyas can get it together. Bring back the good food.
