"Yum! We ordered the Spanish tenders, kickin queso burger and Cali cheese fries. All friggin delicious. The best being the cheese fries. The Spanish tenders had a nice crunch but I wish they were a bit more firm. This is a cute walk up order spot in Napa, you can eat at the establishment with the few tables they have outside, or you can get your food to go and eat at Deuces Market (or any other seating spot you find)."
