For the price of one meal, at the Old Town over priced eateries, we had a great meal for two. We got this to go and it took all of 10 minutes to order, cook it and out the door – this was for two meals. There were 8 tables in various stages of service. The steak was good, eggs were done right and ... what can you say about beans? This is a *man meal*. If you’re staying in the area and your motel is close enough, I highly recommend this place for a carry out meal.
Customer Service,Food,Drinks no bueno! – I don't want 2 write a bad review but I feel it's my DUTY to tell you this place isn't good. It's really cute inside, pinatas everywhere, and has it's own parking which is cool for Old Town, but the customer service was reaallllly bad! The waiter came up like 1 minute after we were looking at the menu said "you ready?" No hello, how r u, that kinda thing. And it wasn't a language barrier cuz I speak espanol. So anyways, food & drinks overpriced, cold, chips were cold & greasy, ewwww! ... read more
Good Mexican Food in Old Town If you want good authentic mexican food in Old Town go to La Pinata. The food tastes great and a good price. We always do family events at this restaurant. You can eat indoors or out on the pretty patio. You won't go wrong eating at La Pinata's.
Excellent Mexican Food I always enjoy eating here. The food and service is excellent. Whenever we have a family event this is where we go. I would recommend this to everyone.
Not very good Friends told us this was an awesome Mexican restaurant. But I thought the food was mediocre at best. The outside area was fun for the family, but overall not a place I will return looking for quality Mex. food.
excellent food We were told by friends that the most authentic place to have Mexican food in San Diego was at La Pinata's. Boy, were they right! Excellent food - I had the guacamole enchiladas - fabulous!
Worst possible customer service – When you look at their website, La Pinata claims to be open until 9:30 on Saturday night. When you call them, they claim to be open until 9:30 on a Saturday night. And when you show up at the front door, their sign indicates that they are open until 9:30 on a Saturday night. But don't be fooled - if you show up at 8:45, they'll tell you they're already closed. What sort of business strategy is that? I wish I could have commented on the food, but the service STUNK!
