Reviews for Piña in Encinitas, CA
While it's a cute spot and has a lot going for it the service was just too slow and took too long to get drinks and food for... having literally 7 people in there. Drinks took 15 min and the drinks weren't brought out at the same time. The free chips andsalsa are a nice touch but sadly they were so hard and tasted stale. Drinks were good but they were out of a few things so wecouldn't get our first choice. Overall I don't think I would be back as the value just is not there, but I hope they get busier!Our waiter was great though and she was the highlight! Read more
No complaints. Great food, great staff, great environment. The bartender went above and beyond to explain the different tequilas... to us. Fun time for sure. Read more
Our first time to Pina and we loved it. We were in the areas bar hopping and grabbed some of the 100 proof skinny margaritas and... a pina marg. We had the ceviche and the queso con frijoles ans they were awesome. Super fresh. Make sure to ask for some of thehabanero salsa. It was fire on both dishes and chips. 100% will return to explore the entrees Read more
Pina has a nice small patio in the back, friendly service, and good food. The inside looks cool, but we are still dining outside... for COVID precautions. Unfortunately while we were visiting there was a 40-year-old birthday party getting absolutely wasted outthere at brunch/late lunch. Read more

So it was my birthday, my 50th… this place was recommended on TikTok. It was on my bucket list and decided this night was a... good night to try it. We went during Happy Hour and I got the house margarita. The salsa was tasty. I was looking for quesofundido, true authentic melted chihuahua cheese. The menu listed it with beef chorizo, the one on the happy hour menu was called“cheese dip”. I tried to tell my partner that it was just that, dip but when we asked the very young server, she said it wasjust like the one with the chorizo. But it was just a tiny portion of soupy dip. I got the adobada spit as my entree. The meatwas tasty but that is as good as it got. I really wanted to love this place but I just didn’t. I would def only come back forhappy hour tacos and a margarita. I’d also recommend the staff knows the menu better. Read more
Nice place. They have live music ( don't know the schedule), lay back and breezy. The menu is quite short. The food is good. I... recommend the mulitas. The service is kind of slow but friendly. Family friendly. Read more
