The food is amazing, I am glad to have such a good restaurant so nearby. I recommend a taco, it is the classic. The staff is very friendly and they take almost no time to cook and give you the food. The service is incredible. They always play Mexican music and the ambiance is outstanding. I come back here often. read more

service was slow and rude , inattentive , took our order and never came back and also never put in half the order . and attitude the entire time . read more

Food was very bland and for 2 adults an 2 children the cost with tip was $85.00. It's not the cost that this review is about. The food was not good. It actually was the worst meal I have had in a Mexican restaurant. My daughter agrees she ordered something different and said the same was true with her order. The children (twin 8 year olds) didn't comment either way read more

I am a big fan of La Pinata. The food is always delicious. Service is top notch, everyone is always courteous and hard working. The restaurant is bright and colorful. read more

Very friendly people and great Mexican food. They also do Taco Tuesdays which is a great value. I would recommend their carne asada, carnitas, tacos (of course), and also their chicken cheese nachos. Will return if I'm ever in Fairfield to visit family. read more

The service is solid and the restaurant is cute, very similar decor to other Mexican restaurants in the area, but what makes La Pinata stand out is the food. Lots of flavor and large portions. I love the Nachos al Carbon, the chicken and rice soup is great, and the southwestern chimichangas are terrific! Definitely try it when you're in the area. read more

Food was delicious. Service was okay but it was taco Tuesday so they were pack. There was a little bit of communication issue between us and our waiter. We would order something and he'd run away to place the order even when we weren't done with our whole order. I don't like running a waiter at all but this trip was inevitable. He wouldn't listen to the whole order. The food was fantastic, fast, and crazy fresh even given how busy they were. ¢.99 Taco Tuesday! YAS! I got regular (lettuce and cheese) ground beef tacos they were fantastic. I'm not sure what kind of seasoning they use with their ground beef but it's really yummy. I also got a chimichanga, ground beef as well. So delicious. We had queso with our chips and salsa. It was delicious but very runny. All three of us ended up with queso on us. When we go out we tend to get appetizers then a main course and are to full to get dessert. We saved some room this time for some fried ice cream and churros! Both very tasty. read more

Just awful. The blandest Mexican food I've ever had, no spice to be found. Portions were good, but what's the point if it isn't tasty?

La Piñata is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Fast and friendly with a good selection. My only complaint is the lack of dressings for salads. Otherwise, the selection is pretty standard with seafood, beef, chicken, and vegetarian choices. Proximity to Village Green / Fairfield Community Center and participation in Dora makes this a popular local hang out! read more

This is one of the best Mexicana restaurants around. The staff is friendly and quick. The food options are typical of most Mexican locations and there is plenty to choose from. I've never had a bad meal. Prices are fair and atmosphere is the typical painted tables, chairs with the Latino flair. Side note... Door dash orders from here have been quick, delicious and always hot. So far so good. Definitely make a point to stop in or order in. read more

I might be biased because this place is down the street from me and I've eaten here more times than I can count. The service is always fast, friendly and accurate. Food is always warm and tasty and you can't go wrong with their chips and salsa! Their margaritas are delicious and well priced. read more

Omg i absolutely love this place!!! Great food exceptionally attentive waiter, atmosphere is beautiful!!! Absolutely need to come here if you have the time. read more

Decided to stop in on a whim after church. With so many options for Mexican food anymore, it's hard to get excited, but La Piñata was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is bright and pleasant. The menu is fairly extensive. The wait staff was very good. When our order came, mine was completely wrong, but it was brought out by another waiter. When our waiter stopped by to check on us, he apologized and had the correct order placed and delivered post-haste. The portions were plentiful, and everything was tasty. You won't leave there hungry. All in all a great experience right in our backyard. Prices are middle of the road, however, lunch looks like a bargain. If you get a chance, check out their bar - it's one of the smallest I've seen in a restaurant if you don't include the outdoor patio; and being across the street from Village Green, I'll bet it's a great place to listen to the summer concert series and enjoy an adult beverage. read more

Gross. No flavor at all in there food. Had a burrito an it tasted like nothing. It had a bunch of beans covered in some kind cause. Yuck

The food was good. This was our 2nd visit in 7 days and both times we had a bill problem. Thankfully we look our bill over before paying. Our server this last time was in a hurry the whole time that he served us and the restaurant was pretty empty. Hopefully, the next it will be better all the way around. read more

This place yummy! The salsa is yummy- but the guacamole was off the chain! The staff was friendly and the food was prompt. We will deff Stop by when we are in town again! read more

Food was poor in quality, not seasoned and tasted like it was microwaved, my daughter and I both threw away our orders, on an up side the service was good. read more

Love this place. Taco Tuesday what a deal. .99 cents! Makes Taco Bell look bad. And so much better. Fajitas Thursday and just about every night a special. We recently moved to Fairfield and so happy this is so close. Fast and so friendly. Enjoy!! read more

We were visiting from Texas and don't usually eat Mexican food while we're traveling but my daughter assured us we would like the food. We ordered the special, 50% off margaritas and enjoyed them! The chicken enchiladas were moist and tender, the corn tortillas were tender and the rice and beans were good. Our waiter and server were prompt and friendly. Definitely we will visit again when we're visiting Ohio! read more

Ordered a double fajita to go, when I got home I realized they didn't included tortillas, I called the restaurant to let them know. Whoever picked up the phone unapologetically offered a voucher for free tortillas next time I come in. This place is a triple threat: poor service, mediocre food and high prices. The $25 double fajita consisted of 2 pounds of peppers and onions with a few pieces of chicken sprinkled on the top. Do yourself a favor and just go to Taqueria Mercado, your wallet and stomach will thank you. read more

Horrible service, terrible food. Made my friends drink wrong. They took forever to bring the one food item we ordered. Do yourself a favor save your money.. go to alcapoco read more

Great Mexican Food - Chicken Flautas, Steak & Cheese Burrito, and the "loco" burrito (chicken & beef) were all amazing - lots of flavor, not too greasy (this is a huge difference between good and great mexican for me - a lot of times you get oil pouring out of your food, not here). Giving 4 stars only because I feel it's a bit pricey in comparison to other spots, but I never had their specials. $10-12 for a burrito, rice & beans seems a bit much, is all... read more

Was a very good place to eat. New management ruined it. Food sucks, margaritas taste like water and service is terrible now.

Terrible service, made drinks wrong and even charged us for a large appetizer when we ordered and were served a small :(

This the best Mexican restaurant besides Mazunte in Cincinnati. The service is rock awesome, all of the servers are so fun and really enjoy what they do. I really can't say enough, everyone that works here is such a team. My husband and I are regulars and have never had a bad experience nor bad food. Kudos to the either staff from the kitchen who rocks out fast delicious food to the servers and bussers who take care of us out front. Really just a splendid experience. Highly recommended!! read more

My family comes here about once every week or two. I usually get the chicken and rice soup, the pico de gallo that comes on the side is quite spicy so use with caution. The fajitas are great but large for one person, they also have a chicken 'salad' with squash and zucchini grilled with the same seasoning. They have a daily special that is always a great value, and a dinner for two for $20 on Mondays. It comes with two dinners from the numbered menu, an appetizer and churros. Even outside the specials the prices are good and plenty of food. The staff is always busy and attentive. I've never had a problem beyond a wrong side dish which was taken care of promptly. read more

Was a very busy Thursday night and after 10 mins of being very noisy decided to leave. Was stopped at the door by the manager or owner. He asked why we were leaving. Told him that we were in a hurry and it was too loud inside. He seated us on the patio. In 3 mins. we had drinks and our food in another 10. I would rate the food and drinks at a 10. I wish we didn't live an hour away from here because this would be my favorite place to go now. As for the owner, he really gets customer service. Thanks! read more

Without a doubt the best margaritas in town and of all the Mexican restaurants I have been in never before had a free Taco like they make here read more

My mom lives in Fairfield near Village Green. I work half days on Friday and so our weekly tradition is to get together for lunch. There aren't many choices near by outside of fast food. Symmes Tavern on the Green, Applebees, Perkins, Bob Evans. We refuse to eat Applebees' mediocre food, Perkins food is actually decent, but we've given up on this location. So we were quite thrilled when La Pinata opened up maybe a year ago. So what's so great about this typical Mexican joint? Well, pretty much everything. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick. Staff is always super friendly. Restaurant is bright and clean. And of course the food is really good. My mom orders only one thing from here - the chicken with rice soup. Chicken, rice, avocado in a chicken broth. Very flavorful and a very generous portion. I usually end up taking an order of the chicken with rice soup to go as my wife absolutely loves it as well. I always order the chicken chimichangas. Really good, nothing to blow your mind but always consistent and tasty. I finally strayed off the beaten path today and tried their (3) mexican tacos with rice, beans and guacamole salad ($10.50. The tacos were really good - especially the fish (I tried 3 different kind with my meal) The chicken was good and the steak/pork/pineapple was different but no my cup of tea. Overall a fantastic place to get a bite to eat. It isn't often you find a place that offers so much for so little. Two thumbs up!! read more

Food is okay but service was terrible, saw our server 1 time and that was it had empty drinks the whole time don't reccomend

Have eaten at this restaurant in two locations over the past few years. It has really gone down hill. Had lunch there this week and all components were off. The chips were stale, the rice and beans were old and the "quesadilla" was a taco. Reminded me of where Mexican food was in Cincinnati 25 years ago - just not up to par. Maybe they will get it back together, but for now - they seem to have lost the knack of it. read more

The enchiladas, guacamole and bean meal was large and very tasty and that plus a great Margarita and 20% tip for a twenty dollar bill! My first time here, but it won't be my last read more

I was really disappointed when the location in Bridgewater closed because it was so close to where I work. I was glad to have found this location in Fairfield though! The food is good. It's cheap mexican food but it's delicious. I went in here with a group of about 10 and our service was fantastic. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The decor is vibrant and fun. I like that I can order just 1 soft taco if I want. But, they have lots of combo options as well. They have really good chips and guac. Can't say much for the salsa - I'm not even sure I tried it! Oops. I'll be back, for sure. read more

Always good Mexican food here. Same reliable, friendly wait staff for years. Always seated quickly. Fair pricing. They serve Pepsi (a plus for me). Lots of vegetarian options. Beautiful, shaded patio for the summer! read more

The bright interior lends one to hope this local Mexican restaurant will be a cut above all the other similar options. They have a special that varies daily, and menu options are what you would expect from the Americanized offerings. I'll start with the good- a very cold, tall Negro Modelo draft for $2.99 ($1 off special) was nice. They also give free mints and Tootsie Rolls at the register. The chips that come with salsa tasted fresh and were nice & warm. The dining area was pretty clean. Our server was also very friendly. With all that being said, every other aspect was average or worse. The salsa was quite watery. I ordered a steak quesadilla. It came with shredded iceberg lettuce scattered haphazardly underneath the 4 quartered pieces of the quesadilla, which appeared to cause the greens to wilt by being stacked on top when piping hot. There was also a very small dollop of pico. I specified no sour cream. The steak was inedible- tons of gristle, pieces cut unevenly, chewy- not seasoned or flavorful. My date ordered enchiladas verdes. The green sauce was thin and lacking flavor. Not as bad as my plate though not memorable. Overall, there are too many other- better- choices around for me to come back. read more

Came here for lunch, had been the Grande quesadilla. Delicious! The waitor was very friendly. My son ate the 3 tacos and he loved them. Very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

The weekly specials make it worth stopping in. The fajita portions are large so my husband and I typically share. They have a great strawberry margarita. read more

This place is awesome. The decorations are gorgeous, the staff is excellent. We never wanted for anything. If our waiter didn't see our drinks were low someone else did and came over to offer us refills. The food was good too! I was informed that the one serving most the tables was actually the owner who also thanked us graciously as we left and hugged us both as my friend is a regular here. Definitely a good choice for a good time! read more

A great basic Mexican restaurant. The staff are super friendly. Pricing is very affordable, happy hour is amazing. The chips and salsa are particularly good. read more

We are regulars at Pinata. Mr. Armando, Felipe, Jorge, Luis and Memo make sure that we feel welcome and take good care of us.
