On Saturday April 6 We ate at la Pinata restaurant and discovered a piece of metal on the chips. We told the Waitress someone else came over and mentioned that it was there because is was a piece of the cleaning equipment...duuuu what a pitifull place. No excuses. We got sick afterward we took a picture of the piece of metal too bad we can't post it here. We can send it to the San Diego county of health inspection so that they clean up that place or close it. Awful place!!

Pros: metal in the food?

Cons: bad food

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!

Pros: Parking

Cons: Service, Hours
