As everyone else says, this place is a gem. Super clean Mexican grocery with some burritos and a nice patio space. Service was excellent. We got the bacon breakfast burrito, and it was one of the best breakfast burritos we've had in our lives ... just tasty and hearty and the green salsa was excellent. We paid $12 and split the burrito between the two of us, and it was the best meal we had in Napa for the weekend ...

I love Azteca. Their market is so clean and well maintained. The meat counter is pristine and there are some great choices. The Picadilla taco meat is my favorite. They have a good menu of food behind the counter. They swear the salsa the put on the food is mild, but it's got some kick. This has become one of my most favorite places to shop.

For a small local grocery market , it generally has exactly want I'm looking for, for example carries Don Francisco cheese, marinated meats, even hard to find adult beverages like Victoria beer, fresh produce. Unlike franchise markets, prices for cilantro, chiles, etc aren't over priced.
