    Carne Asada Tacos
    Monica S.

    Food: Being the total taco fiend I am, I was in Napa for the day and decided to check out some new taco trucks and this little gem popped up on my radar. Ordered 2 carne asada and 2 pastor tacos. The food was nicely plated with jalepenos and carrots on the side. The serving portion size was good. The food for me was a 3.5/5. The meat was tender but could have been better seasoned. That said I am a bit of a taco snob as I probably have tacos 3-4 times a week so you have to come strong to impress me. Ambiance: The truck is parked in front of a house and there are nice benches for customers to enjoy their food. Service: This is their strong point. The service was excellent. The cashier was friendly and the food was served rather quickly. Parking: Parking is on the street in a residential area Overall: The food was decent but the service was great! If you are not to picky and in the area stop by.

    Every time we go to bottle rock, we always come to the spot. They're all a store Carne Asada all is good, but the California burrito is my favorite. Add guacamole.

    Surf n Turf Steak Fries

    I always get the steak fries here they are amazing. This time I tried the surf n turf (shrimp & steak), so good! I love that they have a few picnic tables at which you can sit at and eat your meal.

    Went in today and for the third time in a row they got my order wrong . . . Then got over charged 4 dollars. . . Basically ordered 2 surf & turf XLs & got charged for shrimp only. . . Then was given 2 surf & turf reg size. . . So they basically took the two reg fries and put it into bigger plates and just added a lot more toppings. So there were only fries on one corner of the plate. . . Come here pretty often prob won't anymore. . . the fries are delicious when made right tho . . . Still gavem a tip even tho they over charged me and I was 1,000 percent sure for them to get my order right because like I said third time in a row even made him repeat it . . . Oh well bro said he got me "next time"

    The staff was friendly and I thought it was cool that they had seating available in front of the trucks to enjoy your food there. The prices were reasonable as well. Based on the really good reviews I had high expectations going in. I felt like the meat lacked flavor. The food was fine but I've had better and I've definitely had far worse as well. I recommend trying it out for yourself. I liked the tacos the most.

    Yummy tacos! Super tasty asada taco and shredded chicken pollo street taco ($3.50 each). Liked the grilled jalapeño and onions on the side and fresh cucumbers. Kind and prompt service.

    Super burrito
    Patrick B.

    The burritos themselves tasted good, we had the california burrito and pastor super burrito. The super burrito had no sour cream or guacamole and just a little salsa, it was just a regular burrito. The california burrito was just fries, steak and lettuce and salsa. It was missing the key ingredient avocados and crema. A bit disappointing but still tasted good.

    Two carne asada tacos $3.5 each PACKED with meat.

    Taco truck with a nice spot in the shade and plenty of benches to eat on-site. My Mexican Coca Cola was ice cold and refreshing while I waited for my tacos. What I ordered: two carne asada tacos with no raw onions only grilled. The tacos were ready in about 5 minutes, were packed full of meat, and served with lime and grilled peppers. The salsa was flavorful but not too spicy. The tacos were delicious and the portions were generous. We were the first of the lunch rush and after we ordered there was a long line of people who were ready to order as well. I am so glad we decided to give this place a try as it is much better than some of the more popular places on yelp. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you to the friendly staff for a great experience!

    3 Carne Asada Tacos

    The best tacos in Napa!! And honestly some of the best tacos I've had in a while. My wife always normally gets carne asada and she loved it! The meat is so tender and delicious with a good flavor too! The salsa they put on the tacos is so delicious. I had tripas(intestines) and cabeza(cow head) which my absolute favorite types of meat and this place does it's right! Don't be afraid to try it just because of what it is, if it looks good, eat it! Some of the best tacos I've had in a long time and they are not shy on the meat! Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the area!

    Carne asada meat was stringy and the red sauce was runny. No guac on it. No horchata also. Fries were also a bit soft.

    I came to Napa for the weekend for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon…read more On Sunday after finishing the race, resting, and freshening up I needed a late lunch/dinner. Ended up being more dinner than lunch. I was walking all around downtown Napa looking at options and then looking them up on Yelp and just not really finding what I was looking for. After a while comfort food was on my mind and Los Agaves delivered. I always order chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. I feel you can usually tell how good the food will be if they have really good chips and fresh salsa. The chips were delicious, salted just right and super crunchy. They honestly tasted like the chips my mom and grandma would make. They were super fresh as if they were made that day or recently. The salsa was soooo good. Has a little bit of heat at the back of the mouth once you take a bite. The cilantro comes through and offers fresh herbiness. And there is a hint of Smokeiness to the salsa as well. It's well balanced and you can actually taste each ingredient. I also love the consistency little chunks of onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro but still a little liquidy so you can dip. I also ordered the Los Agaves cocktail (tequila, lime, cucumber, agave, and ube. I didn't really notice the ube flavor but it added beautiful color. The cucumber comes through. The tequila is also present , no watered down drinks here. :) I couldn't decide between steak or chicken tacos and my waitress said how about both? Sold. The meal was excellent. The tacos are fully loaded with meat, they don't skimp. But the real show stopper is the steak taco. It was so tender and flavor full. I ordered it without the cheese and I'm glad I did because it's the star of the dish all on its own. The rice and beans were lovely too, flavor yet light. The whole meal was exactly what I needed to recharge. I think one of the best things is this meal is light yet fulfilling. You don't feel bloated, overly full, or heavy. It's not greasy. It's refreshing. Thank you so much for the perfect post race meal!

They got us seated on the patio in under five minutes (inside was a little loud, but the patio vibe was perfect). Our waiter was super sweet, and the food? Incredible. The chips and salsa are elite, my chicken taquitos were so flavorful, and my husband loved his skirt steak tacos. Pair all that with some seriously good drinks, and you have a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!
