Ordered takeout for Cinco de Mayo. Got their taco special (40) tacos for family and friends and it did not disappoint!! The tacos were stuffed with meat and they did a beautiful job packaging. I Will definitely be back!! Thank you La Piñata for putting that together for me read more

I was very excited when La Piñata came to Post Falls because an old college haunt of mine had the same name. I was disappointed to find they were not connected, but I was not disappointed with the food and service we received. My family and I have been here many times. I was afraid they wouldn't last at first due to very small crowds. I am so happy that word has gotten out and they are still here! Hurray for delicious Mexican food. I love the wet burrito. read more

I just moved here from San Diego and honestly wasn't sure what to expect when it came to Mexican food in North Idaho. The chipotle sauce on my burrito was excellent and really surprised me with its flavor. While it didn't quite beat what I was used to in San Diego, I was shocked at the quality for this area. My vegetarian father ordered enchiladas and really enjoyed them as well, hearty, flavorful, and satisfying. The rice and beans were fresh, and the salsa had a nice kick. Overall, a great experience and a spot I'll definitely come back to. read more

I ate at La Pinata on May 28, 2026. I was looking for some great food that would surpass Taco Time or Taco Bell etc. Much to my great pleasure La Pinata surpassed all of my expectations. The food was hot, plentiful, and tasty. Even the plate was hot to keep my meal warm. The Coronas were ice cold. The waiter was attentive and checked on me regularly but not too much. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is seeking a great Mexican meal. B. D. Germer, Clarkston, Wa read more

This place is new to town, and I'm glad I checked them out early - the food is delicious! The service was fast. The chips and salsa were fantastic. I had one of the burritos and had plenty for leftovers the next day which, to me, is a sign of a good Mexican restaurant! I'll definitely be back!! read more

We love Mexican food, we're in Mexico multiple times a year and have never had such AMAZING food as we found at La Piñata! The brothers do fantastic work, the service is excellent, and the food was fast. Taco Tuesday deals make for a very affordable dinner! The mango margarita with Tajin on the rim was delicious. read more

La Piñata has quickly become our go to restaurant for mid-week family dinners out! The food is consistently good and the staff are so nice and accommodating...I like that they know our family, our favorite booth, and our usual order...it just feels like a very warm, family friendly joint, and we like that. I hope everyone gives them a try! They seriously have the best chips and salsa. read more

Great flavor and large enough for tomorrow's breakfast Going back next weekend for something else. read more

Truly the best Mexican we have had in both North Idaho and Spokane. We each had a different dish and all our dishes were delicious. I had the chipotle chicken at our waiters suggestion and it will be my go to for the foreseeable future! Our server was very attentive and helpful. They served a verde salsa that had good flavor as well. We are just so excited to finally have great tasting Mexican food 5 min from home!!! read more

First time we came in. The chorizo soup is amazing. Everything seemed fresh and was very good

Myself and my daughter are regulars. Great staff food is always good. Margaritas and horchatas are so good.

I have been here a few times for lunch and have been pretty satisfied with my meals both my wife and I. I decided to try it for breakfast this morning and was unfortunately sadly disappointed. I ordered a three egg chorizo omelette, and it took nearly an hour for it to reach my table, and there were only two other parties in the restaurant. When it arrived, I observed that there was little to no chorizo in the omelette. When asking them about that, they told me it was because it was very expensive and from Spain. There was literally probably maybe a half of an ounce of chorizo sprinkled on top of the omelette none of it inside. And this was an $18 menu item. Need I say more? The only reason it's not a one star review is because the waitress did not charge me when I went up to pay. I did however, give her a cash tip because she did her job. read more

They brought us out chips with green salsa the first batch was excellent. Then offered us a second helping of chips that were freshly made and still warm. They were good too, but a little salty.(we still eat them.)) Then they brought out our food I had a dish with chicken in it (wonderful) My husband had a dish with steak in it He had plenty of food to take home Mine was just the right size It had green sauce on it It was very very very, very, very, very, very, very good tasting . We definitely will go again . Decent prices Nice waiter They take Apple Pay I will tell my friends about it I like the fact that they didn't over decorate the place . Music was at a nice level without being too loud. The website says that they can do parties up to 15 people I will definitely bring my family here as well. read more

They sat us down right away. After 10 minutes or so we never saw a waiter/waitress. The free salsa and chips that most Mexican restaurants give, we never had delivered to our table, AND, we were never given a menu. So we left. read more

Had the La Piñata burrito with carne asada - really great flavor! Service was just right - didn't feel crowded or monitored. Came at 4pm, so it wasn't too crowded. read more

Very authentic Mexican food - not Tex-Mex. The people are very sweet and good service. The fajitas were delicious. Because Americans are not used to authentic Mexican , I'm afraid they won't do well buy husband and I loved it read more

We had a great food at La PINATA! Fresh homemade tortilla chips and delicious salsa verde. My husband doesn't like salsa verde and said he really liked it here! I had chicken fajitas - all white meat. Delicious! My husband had cheese enchiladas. It had a Smokey cinnamon flavor and was very good. We will be back! read more

Service was excellent! Food was off the charts, had the Carne Asada torta and it was delicious. I would highly recommend trying it you won't regret it. Salsa and chips are the best in town! read more

By far the best Mexican food I've tasted here in the northwest. I strongly recommend you try this new place in Post Falls. Strongly recommend the la Piñata burrito but you can't go wrong with the green enchiladas either. We will be adding this to our favorites list or restaurants to go to. read more

This place is great! Food was very good and the service was just as good. Super nice staff. The chips and salsa were the best I've had in this area and the rest of the flavors were great! We got the Carne asada and it didn't disappoint at all. We have some solid Mexican Food Truck options around, but I'd have to say (even with this being just our first visit) this is the best full sit down Mexican restaurant option in the Cd'A/Post Falls area! We'll be regulars here! read more

La Piñata is our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The chips are always great, salsa and food are yummy, and the service is friendly and quick. read more

I'm not happy that Dueling Irons shut down, but La Pinata is bringing some Mexican food that is lacking in this area. I'm not a fan of real hot food and La Pinata focuses on taste rather than trying to burn off the taste buds. The last few times I have been here, I latched on to the enchilada plate especial. They don't do the chips and salsa, which is kind of a bummer. Also be aware that they do surcharge for credit cards. Adios Dueling Irons (unfortunately), welcome aboard La Pinata! read more

Excellent food. The restaurant is nice and clean. There is plenty of seating. The service was great. The menu has not only Mexican food, burgers as well. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food Great service.Warm feeling employees. I have breakfast there twice a week.

La Pinata - Absolutely fresh and delicious... we came for breakfast and are so happy with the food and service. - Mexican Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

Service was good but that's about the best thing about the place. We went mid-week and it was almost empty. Had had the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. Food was bland and unimpressive. If you want authentic Mexican food in the Post Falls area you're better off making the trip to Spirit Lake and going to Mi Pueblo. read more

They say if you've eaten at one Mexican food restaurant you eat at all Mexican food restaurants that's not the case with la Bonita. This place is unique and their flavors are delicious. The food is healthy and I feel good eating it. My whole family loves it. get yourself some chips and some guacamole and have a great time read more

Authentic Mexican Food, reasonably priced. The service was excellent, and we'll be back!!!

By far the best Mexican food I've had since moving to the Coeur d'Alene area. Everything else around here has been absolutely terrible, so I'm very happy to have found La Pinta. If you're looking for quality Mexican food that tastes similar to what you'd find in Southern California, this is the place! read more

The service was wonderful. We were seated and immediately our order for drinks was taken. They also brought chips and salsa. The reason I gave it a 1 is because of the food. We did not even end up eating it. We got cheese enchiladas. The red sauce had a funny smell and the beans were white and did not taste good. Our waitress took our food away and didn't charge us for it. We were so looking forward to some good food since all of the reviews so far have been amazing. read more

Great mexican food. Served hot and service was excellent. Would go there again. They need to change the sign so that more people would know who they are. read more

New place in old Business, Clean. Staff very friendly. Open for Breakfast at 8:00. So hard to find good Mexican food in AM. Great Mexican breakfast selection. Large potions. The manager brought over an appetizer selection for us to try for free. It was fabulous. We will be back. Many times I'm Sure. read more

Friendly and prompt service, reasonably priced, limited offerings, clean bathroom as well as restaurant. The chips were warm, and salsa was good. My husband and I had a beef and chicken chimichanga which was lightly fried (yay), yet I would offer the kitchen to add more flavors and cut back on the salt. The guacamole was good. read more
