About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Jaffrey, NH, La Piñata Mexican Grill offers an authentic, vibrant Mexican dining experience that enchants every visitor from the moment they step inside. This inviting restaurant and bar seamlessly blends traditional flavors with a contemporary twist, creating a menu that’s both comforting and exciting.

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. Seafood lovers will find delight in the Camaron Cilantro and Crab Dip, both bursting with fresh, bold flavors. For something fresh and light yet flavorful, the Taco Salad is a must-try, uniquely balancing crisp vegetables with savory meat or veggie options.

Diners often rave about the Fajitas, with varied choices like the classic Piñata Fajita, a heavenly Mix Fajita, and the flavorful Trio Fajita which elevates the fajita experience with a medley of meats and peppers. The tacos here are equally impressive, featuring mouthwatering options such as Chicharron, QuesaBirria, and Carne Asada, all wrapped in the freshest corn tortillas that bring an authentic touch and unforgettable texture to every bite.

The dessert menu serves as a splendid finale to your meal — imagine biting into the warm sweetness of freshly made Churros, the silky richness of Flan, or the indulgent layers of 3 Leches Cake. For a playful, cool contrast, the Fried Ice Cream offers the perfect combination of crunchy exterior and creamy goodness inside.

Beyond the food, La Piñata impresses with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting after a day of hiking the White Mountains, hosting a festive gathering, or simply enjoying a night out, the warm hospitality and impeccable service stand out. Guests consistently praise the staff for their attentiveness and friendly demeanor, making every visit memorable. The full bar complements the menu brilliantly, offering refreshing drinks like a perfectly chilled Corona, with some exciting house-made hot sauces adding a unique kick that enhances the flavors beautifully.

What truly sets La Piñata apart is its balance between tradition and innovation. As one local diner shared, the menu “straddles the line between inventive and normal Mexican cuisine,” delivering an experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. The space remains comfortably sound-conscious, allowing lively conversation without overwhelming noise, and during warmer months, their outdoor seating creates the perfect joyful dining environment under the New England sky.

For anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors crafted with care, a warm atmosphere, and attentive service, La Piñata Mexican Grill is an unbeatable choice in the Monadnock region. Whether you’re a taco aficionado, a fajita fan, or a dessert lover, your palate will leave fully satisfied and eager to return.

    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.
