Las Pinatas

I’ve been there twice in a row last week since the name change to Las Piñatas, the food was delicious, the prices are fair, the delivery was timely and I can’t wait to go back!

Came here while visiting family, the food selection was amazing! But the girl that attended us was new or just didn’t care cuz she was very slow and sorry to say stupid lazy! She got everything wrong, but a lady come out and picked her mess. The bill was also wrong, but since it was to our favor we didn’t complain. I ordered the filet of fish with garlic, it was so good! My mom and aunt got the lengua tacos also good, and my cousin got a quesadilla with all the works. Very good food.

The guacamole is pretty good. Very fresh made to order. Las flautas… mmmm. Yummy. And the tostadas.
Won’t be able to eat like this for much longer, but it’s worth the tummy ache of not being able to stomach much of any food.
So good.
Oh, and they didn’t get five stars because they only accept cash, and I NEVER carry cash.

I passed by walking my dog and decided to order some take out. While waiting for my order outside, I decided to look them up on Unilocal and was a little worried by the low reviews/​lack of pictures.
The staff was really nice. There was a young boy working the register. I ordered a chicken torta, beef huaraches, and lengua tacos (comes in 3). This was a good amount of food for two. My bf and I thought each dish was pretty good, especially the lengua tacos that were really tender and flavorful, especially with the grilled onions they gave on the side. The beef huaraches were good too –the beef was not dry and flavorless like some mentioned. The chicken in the torta was on the drier side but I was expecting it from pounded chicken breast. The beans and dressing and nice big toasted torta bread made up for the dryness. I normally get take out from Bianca’s Deli and thought Las Pinatas was comparable, if not better. The Las Pinatas torta and tacos were bigger compared to Bianca’s. They give you green salsa verde which was great with everything. There was also a red sauce that tastes like a smoked chipotle. Didn’t use that one much. Overall, I enjoyed the food and I plan to come back here.
Didn’t sit down inside but I thought it was quaintly decorated with fresh potted flowers and table cloth on each table. Music was playing in the background.
FYI: noticed signs that says they are now closed on Tuesdays.

I hate leaving negative feedback but it’s now two strikes for them. Two weeks ago I tried walking in but noticed they only accept cash.
Tonight, when I called to order delivery, everything from the menu was deemed obsolete/​incorrect. First, several items are only available in threes, ie, tacos. They didn’t have any tamales and they likely would have required a purchase of three as well but I only really wanted one. Lastly, the minimum order for delivery on the provided menu is $ 10 but that’s apparently incorrect. $ 20 is now the minimum order for delivery!
Oh well, it was a bust for the second time. I’ll try to walk in when I have a few dollars and hope for the best.

This is a review for takeout, so I have no idea what the staff is like.
We ordered here because of the high ratings; we usually get Mexican from a place just down the street from this one. I was not impressed by my experience here. First of all, the menu online and the menu we got with our food says that tacos are $ 2 each. When we tried to order a variety of tacos, we were told we had to order in groups of three? So we could only get two kinds of tacos. The carnitas were insanely dry, and the chorizo was dripping grease (but still managed to be dry) and was advertised as spicy but barely had any flavor at all. Though it was not updated on the website, when we got our tacos there was no guac; on the menu we got with our food the word guacamole was crossed out in Sharpie.
I ordered a torta de milanesa de res — I thought it was cool that it has refried beans on it but I was less excited when the ratio of bean to meat was approximately 2:1. My boyfriend got a meal that included chicharrones and they were essentially inedicble — huge chunks of raw fat.
To add insult to injury, they were out of horchata.
Two stars because at least on my order everything was edible, and because their corn tortillas were good.
It should REALLY be mentioned on the phone or the website or SOMEWHERE that it is cash only.

The staff here is very nice. Their tacos on the other hand are just ok. I had the chicken, carnitas (pork) and the asada (steak) tacos. The meat on all 3 was super dry, even tho the carnitas was very greasy. The taste was nothing to write home about. That bing said, this is the best Mexican in the area. Sad.

A friend and I where visiting from Texas and we wanted a Mexican breakfast. We came accross this place and it was great eating! The flavor on the huevos a la mexicana, the beans, and rice was right on! We also had the menudo and it was better than okay but only because it didnt have enough meat. Friendly owners and staff. Give them a try!
