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. We invite you to experience it yourself by visiting our San Leandro location for our weekday lunch specials or Sunday Brunch. Our house Margaritas are made with 2 ounces of 100% Agave Tequila, Agave Nectar and fresh citrus juice. Our Tequila Bar features over 300 (100% Agave) Tequilas, where we offer tequila flights, "Happy Hour" Monday - Friday, and tequila classes & tastings.

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2008I went with a group of friends to the San Leandro location and they don't really know how to multi-task. Food wise, it's cool. They give you free chips and salsa, and bring you water, but on a busy night like when my ... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2005I 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 ... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 05, 2003This is the best Mexican food I've had in a while and it was at a great price. However, one problem is that this place is small so you may have to wait. And the service wasn't the best. They seemed to just have random ... (more)
