It's a cosy little spot to chill or have a date. The food was delicious and presentation was on point. I purchased a Gustazo deal because they had a promo for $2400 where you get 2 meals and 2 drink of choice. We ended up having to settle for wings with sides because other options were finished. It took a while to be served but I was pleased with the food when it came and the daiquiri was good. There is a car wash on the property so you can wash your car and dine while you wait. I think they're reasonably priced so you can give them a try.

Date night with bae, we used a Gustazos coupon. This was our first time at Pinyatas and we were not disappointed. The parking area has us a little confused because it's also a car wash but as soon as we got to the door we were greeted by our hostess/server. She was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Answering our questions and providing a lot of helpful information. How she interacted with us throughout the dinner, down to how she served the plastic spoon for the soup. It was a high class restaurant level of service. Now the food was superb! I had the garlic lobster with festivals(I didn't want rice & peas and the substitution was done with ease) and my partner had the steamed snapper with steamed bammy. While the soup of the day was fish soup. Everything was delicious. The only issue was the soup had a little too much salt, and my lobster was a little over cooked. The flavours though were on point. We washed it all down with virgin daiquiris. Overall a fantastic experience and we plan on going there again.

Good food, great taste! Service could step up a notch but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Would recommend!
