The cuisine here is a celebration of Mexico’s rich culinary heritage, brought to life through standout dishes such as the crispy, golden Chimichanga, the robust and tender Steak Fajita, and the satisfyingly cheesy Fajita Quesadilla.

Stopped here with my fiance after camping in the White Mountains. Our waiters were very nice and made sure we were taken care of. The chips and salsa were delicious. I ordered the Chicharron Tacos and they were some of the best tacos ever. My fiance ordered the Birria Tacos and those were also amazing. Their corn tortillas are fresh and tasty as well. I highly recommend going here for good authentic Mexican Food.
Best Mexican restaurant so far in the Monadnock region. Nice straddles the line between inventive and normal Mexican cuisine. Full bar and some decent vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable for most items. Also, nice atmosphere with good sound dampening so it doesn’t get too loud. Definitely want to come back in the summer to check out their outdoor seating.
Amazing Experience at La Piñata! I had the pleasure of hosting a surprise party for a large group at La Piñata this past Saturday, and I can’t say enough about how incredible everything was. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group, making sure everything was seamless for our celebration. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun, setting the perfect tone for the evening. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! We had a variety of dishes, including sizzling fajitas, flavorful rancheros, and cheesy, crispy quesadillas—each one better than the last. Every bite was full of fresh, vibrant flavors, and the portions were generous. It was clear the kitchen uses only the best ingredients. The service was equally exceptional. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our group had everything we needed throughout the evening. They truly made the whole experience effortless and memorable. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, wonderful service, and a lively atmosphere, La Piñata is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back for more!
Although it's a little hard to find, this relatively new addition to the Jaffrey food scene is definitely worth a try. The service was both super prompt and super friendly, the Mexican fare was among the best around, and the place was both clean and festive. Enjoy!
Wanted to check this place out while we were in Jaffrey. What a pleasant surprise! It was so good. Staff was friendly. Food was really fresh with herbs and spices and veggies. Tortillas were delicious. Drinks were great. Salsa was absolutely amazing, no spice to it but totally different than other spots. They make their own hot sauce as well which was refreshing. We will definitely be back!
Pretty good Mexican spot I Jaffrey and close enough to Peterborough. They have outdoor seating as well.
A group of 9 of us had lunch at LaPinata Thursday. It was a first time visit for majority of us. They had a good menu, with a nice variety of items for vegetarian and non vegetarians. The prices were good. The service was great, our waiter kept our tortilla baskets and salsa bowls full while we waited for our meals. Once the food arrived it was hot and very tasty. Another perk was that they seemed unfazed and even welcoming to have a large group come in (without reservations.) I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.
Delicious. I have come several times, most recently for lunch. Fabulous!! Steak fajita quesadilla, steak fajita, and a shrimp dish. We all brought a little home too. So yummy and the service was super friendly as well.
