Chispa, a lively new addition to Napa’s downtown scene, is a sleek tequila-centric gathering place for those seeking a great cocktail, a mix of globally-inspired dishes and raw seafood towers, or a deep-dive into agave spirits.
“For an employee to recommend this off the clock it must be special …and special it was!! Otto was a credit to the company recommending Chispa for their food & service. We had an amazing, attentive server and the food was incredible - especially the roasted oysters & salmon! We would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Nap because of Otto 🤍”
“As a napa local, less than mile of walk to town, I love unwinding my weekends at Chispa! Their food is regionally inspired, from oysters/calamari to salads and tacos! I’d say it’s fusion, the flavors are beyond comprehension! Must place to try if you are visiting or local! Oh, try their extra dirty martini with Japanese Yuzu Gin! Damn good!”
“This was such a great option for Happy Hour during a recent girls trip to Napa! Standout service, wonderful food, and gorgeous cocktails. 👩🏻🍳 SERVICE: Our waitress was awesome, she was able to look at a recipe on our phone and craft a cocktail that was so incredible! I felt very taken care of throughout our experience. 🌮 FOOD: I loved the taro chips that came with the guacamole. Such a unique addition to what is otherwise a simple appetizer. We also ordered the happy hour nachos. I found the queso to be slightly underwhelming but the pickled onions and other toppings definitely made up for this. 🍹 DRINKS: In addition to the custom cocktail, our table also ordered the "guava cup" which was not too sweet. I had a non-alcoholic drink (iced tea): perfectly refreshing. I would definitely come back during their Happy Hour to try more drinks and maybe a taco. I do find this on the pricier side, as it's right in downtown. Parking isn't impossible, there's public lots 2-3 blocks away that allow for 2 hours of free parking.”
“We were recommended to Chispa by a wine host. We love tequila and popped in before dinner. The owner was there and shared her amazing knowledge and walked us though a phenomenal tasting. We will definitely be back!”
“The Hubby and I dined in I believe an hour and a half before closing. We had the restaurant to ourselves. (kitchen closes 30 mins before scheduled closing but I think bar stays open) Hubby ordered 2 house margaritas. I’m assuming they were good since he had a second. We got a couple apps the ceviche was my favorite out of the 2. The other one was a little more bland in flavor. I ordered the steak and fries. Steak was cooked perfectly and we both enjoyed the flavors. Fries were OK I would have preferred a veggie or rice with it. Fries didn’t really complement or elevate the dish in my opinion. Hubby ordered the pork tacos no complaint they were generous on the meat and taste great. We finished off with the chorros for dessert. Warm and doughy and paired with natella. We cleaned the plate! Side note a lot of the photos on Google and yelp are outdated, they have since change the menu! I’d recommend giving them a try even if only for a drink and light bite!”
