How can a place that's been around Phoenix for over 40 years be anything but Great!! La Pinata's new location serves the best Mexican food anywhere in the valley. Chips and salsa are made fresh daily, sometime more often. The place is spotlessly clean, the service is top notch and the food is the best! The chef, Peter, is usually wandering around kibitzing with the new patrons as well as his regulars. He's a hoot! Eat on the patio if the weather permits. It's beautiful with a large fireplace and flickering lights all over. The food portions are more than generous and you can tell the ingredients are top quality. If you have room, try the "baked ice cream" or the sopapias with honey or chocolate. Go to this place once and you can be sure it will become one of your regulars.
