    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.

    Passing through Napa with construction safety team and did a search and found this taco truck, WOW tacos are FN delicious Asado or Al pastor..the guys ordered Fish and shrimp tacos and they said tacos were really good.. We are definitely coming back in 2-3 weeks.

    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.

    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.

    Lorenzo K.

    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.

    Surf and turf fries
    Huemac F.

    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"

    Chicken and beef taco

    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.
    Teena B.

    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
    Kamonte D.

    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.

    Do they cater to parties?

    Yes, since they're not always in front of Universal Auto Repair ;) When they're off at catering events, they're not at their usual spot. Learned that from firsthand experience. Having experienced their food&service, yes, they're PERFECT for catering…

What a nice surprise a trailer that isn't a taco truck. It's a small trailer packing a lot of flavor. Avertiszements were for a prime rib cheese sandwich. I was delighted to be greeted with a friendly positive attitude and in this time of isolation it's needed. The sandwich comes in a 4 inch for $7.50 and a 8inch for $15.00. Quality bread, great quality cheese, medium quality meat which is saying a lot for a food truck as most have low quality gristle. The onions and peppers melded together perfectly, they don't hold back on the amount of ingredients. Juicy meat the hole thing made my mouth water with each bite. I was worried I was drooling and kept wiping my mouth lol. I have had some steak sandwiches this by far was the best. My only complaint was the bread needed more toasting or a different bread as within 3 minutes it was soggy with that juicy goodness. As a side note if the business owners see this find space to relocate onto soscol between Wallmart and the tracks you will make a killing.

Matt and Patrick were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! We celebrated our microwedding in Mill Valley and I have always selected new restaurants based on yelps top reviewed restaurants. I figured this would be the best way to go to select a catering option for an area we're not local to or able to try before in person. The reviews did not steer us wrong. We would love to book again after experiencing the food and stellar service. Appetizers: We ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta which was one of my favorites! The tomatoes were fresh and every bite was memorable! The goat cheese croquettes were to die for and the braised pork shoulder had everyone coming back for more! Dinner: I'm not a huge kale person but we had an amazing kale Caesar salad that had me hoping I could recreate it at home. I honestly don't think there was any left over! It was accompanied by the grilled antipasto platter which complemented the lasagna dinner we had perfectly! The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection! We had the classic bolognese lasagna and red wine braised boneless beef short ribs for our dinner option which were gone in the blink of an eye. Dessert: To top it off, we finished with the mini amaretto panna cotta and blackberry coulis. They were as delicious as they were aesthetically appealing!

    Think twice (or more) and don't do it!…read more A group of four couples (hailing from Michigan to New Mexico) were flying into Napa for a long-planned get-together. We rented a home through VRBO and thought it would be a treat to have a catered meal from Epicurean Escape. The price was over $1000 but seemed well worth it and we paid the bill 10 days prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, if not unbelievably, we were alerted by VRBO the very next day that our contract was being cancelled as the rental house had just been purchased by a new owner. Thinking we might have to cancel the trip as VRBO might not have an alternative (they did not), we immediately contacted the caterer that we would have to cancel plans. This was 9 days prior to the planned dinner. The caterer then informed us that this was beyond their normal 10 day cancellation policy and there was nothing they could do other than a (hold your breath) 25% refund!! provide a 'credit' - a great idea for a group of 8 with most of us living thousands of miles away, or assisting us in relocating to a new venue. We eventually located a hotel where we could stay and proceeded with the trip - still very much disappointed with the caterer for not refunding our money with 9 days prior notice (along with forwarding them the note of cancellation from VRBO). With a $150 delivery fee charged by the caterer for delivery to our hotel, and no way for us to warm the food in our rooms, we anticipated the meal would arrive on serving trays with sterno heaters. But of course not.. The server who delivered the food was very nice and accommodating (we tipped them as well even though the paid contract already included an 18% gratuity fee). We began eating immediately, only to find all the food (fish and beef main courses) at room temperature. Perhaps everything would have tasted better had it been heated, but classifying the meal as 'mediocre' would be overly kind. Making matters worse (if that's possible), we have been promised a 'final' contract as three of the planned attendees could not attend, and the caterer agreed to 'adjust', only to never hear back from them almost 2 weeks later. Inflexible policy + less than thrilling meals = at least in my book, an experience worth avoiding at all costs. Caveat emptor.

    Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

The staff seemed to not really know what was going on and did their best, alas the coup d'etat that the dessert was melted. Relatives of the birthday party ended up going to a local store to get dessert for the party because the catering staff was at a loss of what to do, to fix the problem, it was awful. This company is so unprofessional. I would never recommend them to anyone. Just bad, bad, bad on every level.
