YOU WANT ME TO PUT A Piñata WHERE?
The Mexicano bursts with bold color and personality, delivering an experience that’s unexpected, energetic and irresistibly fun.
From the moment you step inside, the custom Piñata DJ booth and vibrant murals create an atmosphere that’s as much about celebration as it is about dining. Every corner of the space is thoughtfully designed to be a feast for the eyes — floral walls, neon signs and playful touches make it a visual playground, practically begging to be photographed.
The Mexicano is where flavor and fiesta meet, and no one leaves without capturing a piece of it to take with them.
