I should have written this review a long time ago..We have become regulars! This place is the best. Great food always fresh , fast and delicious. Awesome Margaritas. Osvaldo is the best but everyone there is great. Enjoy!

I love any Mexican Grill for lots of fully balanced choice meals in great flavors. This is a really nice and colorful spot. The Hawaiian Fajitas at La Pinata had that kick and more. And my companion said his chicken soup was a tonic for the soul.

First time visiting this larger location. We were seated as soon as we walked in, about 5:30. It was already pretty crowded. By the time we left there were at 20 waiting to be seated. The service was great, our order was correct and hot. Very nice decoration, outside tables (not much of a view). Update: The food and service are still great. Food was good and served promptly.

Food was great! Quickly seated but the server didn't come back until it was time to bring the check

Highly recommend this was the worst service we have had while visiting. Forgot items did not come to fill empty cups hard to locate server

Been going to the Stone Creek La Pinata for over fourteen years with my family. It used to be in a strip across from Meijer and now it’s in its own building. I’ve grown as a person along with the business. I’m so thankful for this lovely family run business that continues to expand. Shoutout to MARIO for being a constant, very kind presence amid my family’s visits. When my family had young ones he would be sure to give them mints at the old location. He sat us tonight and always has a bright smile and recognizes my family immediately. I got the taco and enchilada rice and been combo and will be getting that again!! At the end of the night the little ones were given permission to put the sombreros on . They were SO happy and ecstatic to do so!! ( I understand that it was a crazy busy Friday night just want to make note that the meat was pink and I’m pretty sure I heard a “MOO” in the distance. I didn’t want to mention it to the waiter though, because it wasn’t his fault and he was already really busy. Just want to make note :))

We have been here a few times and we really like it. Tonight our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I recommend this restaurant.

Excellent fajitas! Did the Texas fajita for 2 and it was more than enough food and very well priced. Will definitely visit again! Service was excellent as well. Got us seated right away.
