La Pinata 2 Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar
Owner
For over 20 years La Pi?ata Mexican Restaurants have been the favorite Bay Area destination for great food, great service and festive ambience. The first La Pi?ata was opened in Hayward by Francisco Javier Guzman in order to offer quality Mexican food. He did it with the unconditional help and support of his wife and brothers. The next generation of Guzmans are working hard on keeping the dream of our parents and uncles alive.

La Pinata Fan
by pizzy79 at Citysearch
I am a huge La Pinata fan. But this location is not the best. I have been here almost 20+ times though. The last time my favorite thing on the menu (crab legs w/garlic butter) was served to me in a not so fresh sort of way(like it was cooked and then reheated) and i was told by management if i reordered it would have to pay next time. Needless to say i have not been back. Other members of my party were satisfied though. Hayward also has great food but not the extensive menu. Wait times can't last up to 30 minutes but the bar area if usually open, and a great atmosphere. My fav location i will not reveal too crowded already. As for this location go early or late when the cooks have more time.
- Pros: when crab legs are made right they are the best in town. huge platters.
- Cons: parking is tight, but there is parking behind the building

La Pinata is great
by debbiebunny at Citysearch
I think the other reviewers have this La Pinata mixed up with the one in Hayward. It is the same company, but there are 7 locations. Some large, some small.
The hayward one has great food but is often crowded and is very small.
The San Leandro one has more to offer. There is a full bar & a large dining room. The menu is expanded from the smaller locations (and costs a little more) it includes not only the mexican fare of the Hayward one, but more Mexican food & American food.
You get chips & salsa with your meal, the portions are huge, and it's all pretty tasty.
It's not the best mexican food around (I am more partial to small taquerias for my favorite mexican food) but it's one of the best sit down mexican restaurants.
- Pros: big portions, good food
