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! Food was just typical American style Mexican. BUT if you want REAL Mexican there's a little place in barrio Logan called La Dona, 1784 Newton Ave, (between Beardsley St & Sigsbee St) 233-4939, that place is inexpensive, portions are big and very authentic!!

• Pros: own parking lot
• Cons: food bad, service bad, just don't do it

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!

• Pros: Parking
• Cons: Service, Hours

Old Town Mexican favorite stands the test of time with traditional menu, mariacchis and casual, colorful patio.
