"5 Stars for Don Perico Napa! A Must-Visit for Authentic Mexican Flavors! Our group had a fantastic lunch experience at Don Perico in Napa yesterday and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately. The atmosphere is perfect - energetic and lively, yet still relaxed and comfortable. The beautiful Mexican decor adds a wonderful touch and the lovely outdoor seating area is a real treat. We started with the guacamole dip, which was clearly made fresh. The avocados were perfectly ripe and the flavors were bright and vibrant. For our entrees, we ordered the Shrimp Fajita La Costa and the Flautas. The Shrimp Fajita La Costa was an absolute standout! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and the peppers and onions were expertly seasoned. The flautas were crispy and delicious, filled with a savory mixture that had us wanting more. To wash it all down, we ordered a pitcher of margarita and it was the perfect complement to the meal. It was well-balanced and refreshing, not too sweet and with a good kick! Desert fried ice cream was in the house since we were celebrating a friend's birthday. Must try ice cream, it's delicious. Beyond the delicious food and drinks, what really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was also incredibly quick, which we really appreciated. We never felt rushed, but we also didn't have to wait long for anything. Overall, Don Perico Napa exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was inviting. This is a truly authentic Mexican experience and a place we will definitely be returning to again and again. If you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant in Napa, look no further than Don Perico! Five stars all the way!"
