las Pinatas???? Gone??
 

Have we lost Las Pinatas in Laconia....did it move??? :(

?
 

Nobody answers the phone - but the message states that they are open for lunch Tues-Sat 11-2 and dinner 7 days a week 5-9.

Maybe they look closed if you aren't driving by during biz hours?

Closed....
 

Their sign is now gone...the place appears empty...and at 6:15 this evening the message is all that remains. Seems like no one is home. Looks final to me?? See you at Tio Juan's Margaritas....:liplick::liplick::liplick:

Yes, I walk by their restaurant to where I park my car, and I noticed yesterday that it was all cleared out and no signs left.

While I love Mexican food, the two times I ate there led me to not want to go back - there was no spicing to the food - totally bland. The lost business is sad, but the restaurant will not be much missed by me.

Anyone know where there is a decent Mexican restaurant within 20 miles of Laconia? (Not a chain - don't even mention the Taco Bell's, etc.)

if "by boat" counts..
 

as within 20 miles - the El Centenario in Wolfeboro is quite good...

don't forget THE CRAZY GRINGO at Weirs Beach.

I find the food at the "Crazy Gringo" at the Weirs to be excellent. I have been there many times and never disappointed once! They make a great drink also!:liplick:

yep
 

Crazy Gringo's..Weirs Strip.
Fantastic Marg's (in a mason jar)....very good Mex food. Fun place to go, especially if you enjoy a cocktail or three.
Don't let all the bikes out front throw you off...the food is very good here, and the wait staff very friendly.

Crazy Gringo!!
 

Great information!

This place is a gem in my opinion. Do not judge the book by the cover!!

Great food, great drink and great service.....and you can get there by boat!

A couple of weeks ago they had a sign up saying they were closed for renovations, but I walked by today with the dog and that sign is gone along with their regular signs. I looked in and it looks awfully bare in there, just tables and chairs.

Closed for renovations.
 

That is the new bar just below Crazy Gringo in the old Carlson's Arcade building. It is still empty.

las Pinatas was in the old Laconia Train Depot, downtown.

Yea, that's the one I'm talking about

The bar below the Gringo is called Tower Hill Tavern and is open, we had drinks there yesterday :cheers: hope this helps. www.towerhilltavern.com

Laconia Sun Today
 

The newspapers finally caught up to the forum! On page 8 on the Sun today:

Las Pinatas closes
"LACONIA — Las Pinatas, an eatery that was
located in the former railroad depot at Veterans
Square, has closed after serving authentic Mexican
cuisine for nearly two decades.
“It’s closed already, it’s time to move on,” said
founder and owner Armando Lezama, when reached
by phone. He said he appreciated the interest, but
declined to comment further."
