" La Pinata is a great spot if you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. The food here is well-seasoned and never feels bland. I had the combination plate, which allowed me to taste several dishes at once. The portions are beyond generous for what you pay, making it a good value. I definitely plan to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I've had some meals at La Pinata that were wonderful, my last visit wasn't as memorable. The flavored rice felt overcooked and bland, and it seemed off compared to the last meal I had. However, the staff, as always, remains friendly and attentive. I’m hopeful that it’s just a transient issue, and I plan to return soon to give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant was bustling when we arrived, but the wait was worth it. The chiles rellenos were bursting with flavor. I loved that they come accompanied by flavorful rice and beans. Service was a little slow since they were busy but friendly as always. La Pinata never lets me down for solid Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Pinata has been my go-to spot for years. They consistently deliver great food every time. The ceviche is fresh, and their tacos are big and flavorful. I'm always impressed by the level of service; no matter how busy they are, they make you feel welcome. This is the best place for Mexican food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying La Pinata and I have to say, it lived up to the hype! The tacos were delicious and generously filled. The flavors were authentic, bringing me back to my last trip to Mexico. The restaurant itself is small but charming, and the staff was very welcoming. I will be spreading the word about this gem in Hayward! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed by my recent meal at La Pinata. The flautas were overcooked and cold when served. I had a long wait for my food despite the restaurant being less crowded. The staff was friendly but my experience with the food was underwhelming. I am hesitant to return after this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a true Mexican restaurant can be a challenge, but La Pinata hits the mark! Their tamales are delicious and authentic, and their customer service is always on point. I love how the restaurant has a local feel that makes you want to return. If you haven’t been, you definitely should check it out! " (*Curated Review*)
