La Pinata Family Mexican

These are the nicest people! They were so gratious to us when we broke down in Drain. Thank you to all the staff who helped us!

Great food, friendly staff, generous portions, great prices - this will be a regular stop as we head to the coast.

Good food good bar at night great company awesome new owners

Recently had cause to go to Ashland, and was excited to knock a few towns off the Great Oregon Burger Bucket List (my quest to have a burger in every town in Oregon). Found a Mexican restaurant with burgers, La Pinata, in Drain, and headed over. Really cool local spot. Serves just about everything, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. Huge cookies!! Being sold to pay for trips to watch the Atlanta Braves, of which this is a mini Mecca for fans.

I asked if it was a decent serving of onion rings, and boy howdy!! They gave about twice as much as most places do. Great prices, $20 with the tip for a big bacon burger, lots of onion rings, large drink, and two huuuuge cookies. Onion rings were great crispy batter with a soft onion inside, mild taste to the batter. I don't normally use fry sauce for onion rings, but wanted to try it, and the fry sauce is very solid-a slight tang and very smooth. If I lived in Drain, I'd probably probably be here twice a month just for fries & sauce with a beer to wash it down.

I got the bacon mushroom Swiss burger, despite not being a typical mushroom burger guy, because it was recommended in reviews and is their top selling item overall according to the very helpful waitress. It was a burger you could smell the meat from while it was being brought to you. The tease of the scent alone promised a solid burger, and it lived up to its tease & reputation. Juicy beef and thick tasty bacon with a very generous helping of veggies on a solid bun. The mushrooms were great, just noticeable enough to know it's a mushroom burger without being over powering.

Not bad, Not great!
Definitely lacking appeal, as well as atmosphere or anything that your traditional mexican restaurant would have.
The plate presentation looked that of a kid. Definitely nothing to entertains one's pallet.
The strawberry Daiquiri lacked flavor of any kind including rum. Although the color and presentation were spot on.
