The piñata was larger it didn't hold much candy, but I think it was a bit over priced, I understand it was hand made, so I didn't think so much about it. read more

Traditional piñatas and custom made piñatas. This place is so cool, one of the last authentic piñatas shops left in the country. The owner Francisco is a gem, a true folk artist. Don't miss this spot if you're visiting Albuquerque. read more

Our family has been buying Pintas from Casa de Pinatas since 2000. We have had special orders made, we have bought ones that are ready to go. The prices begin at $55, $65, $85, $100 and up. I guarantee these pinatas will take a good beating before it breaks. Javier the artist and owner is very nice, he loves his trade. Come buy and get your pinatas! read more

This place is a life saver for anyone looking for a piñata for their child's birthday or other event. I drove all over Albuquerque looking for a Winnie the Pooh piñata and was surprised to see that most places will hand you a circle with a picture printed on it and try to charge you a ton! This place was my last bet, but I am so so glad I came here. I asked if he had a Winnie the Pooh piñata and was directed to the most BEAUTIFUL piñata I have ever seen!! The store is filled with gorgeous piñatas and has so many designs!! The owner was pleasant and was definitely helpful in answering my questions about the candy selection. He showed me other piñatas that he has made and I was amazed at the craftsmanship and detail that he puts into each piñata. You can tell that he puts his heart into his work and it definitely shows. Each piñata is hand sculpted by him!! The price was great! I was pleasantly surprised at the price for such a high quality piñata. I will definitely be returning for all my piñata needs. My daughter was SOOOO happy when I brought the piñata home, she was jumping up and down saying "Pooh bear." Overall, a lovely experience and probably the best piñata place in Albuquerque!! 11/10 read more

Casa De Pinata - COVID piñata! - Party Supplies Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

There is a wide variety of piñatas. Original and great craftsmanship. We ordered a flower skull for Halloween and it was great. So beautiful we didn't want to break it. The owner does all the work himself and is able to handle many aspects of his business but it takes time. highly recommend him. read more

Talented humble custom pinata maker who does a fantastic job. Come in a month before you need your pinata and he'll do what he can to make you whatever you want and will be a more than fair price - I say tip him because he doesn't charge enough. He also has started to make pinatas and stock them so that you are able to just come in and buy one of his creations without waiting for it, as long as you don't need anything custom-made anyway. read more

Francisco was so friendly and we found just what we needed for our friend's birthday. The door was locked, but we knocked and waited for him to open. He explained that the section of piñatas that came from Mexico were easier to break, $15. Those would be good for a child. We went with one of his own creations, sturdier and larger (holds about 3lbs of candy). Thanks, Francisco! We will enjoy! read more

Unfortunately, the owner of this shop may never see this review. One of his first admissions to me during our transaction was that he didn't "know computers". This is the fault of his sons, who never taught him how to use one. Don't get him going on that tangent, though - stick to pinatas. This little hole-in-the-mall has been around since I moved to ABQ, probably years before hand, and I finally had an opportunity to check it out. Initially I was absolutely floored by the size of these pinatas, they stretch three to five feet in height and length. They're all hand-made. They easily handle some five pounds of candy/stuffing. Popular characters, cervesa bottles, iconic figures... an amazing selection. And you can special order ANYTHING you want, they'll make your creation. The proof was in the whacking, though. A group of grown, generally sober adults went at the pinata I bought for a good 20 minutes before a samurai swipe managed to decapitate it. Industrial and artisan, these are seriously great pinatas. The store has a bevy of Mexican and American candy, including chile-spiced sweets that add some authenticity to an event. They also sell the swatters (don't know the official term for them) that are festively wrapped and last a lifetime. Oh, and did I mention prices? Most pinatas go for $35, the more unique run another $10, but compare that to the major Marts and you're looking at a marvelous local deal. read more

Casa De Pinata - A dia de los muertos pinata. Casa de Pinata made this. Seriously. AMAZING. - Party Supplies Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Authentic piñatas! We come get our Piñatas here every year. All hand made in house. You can custom order whatever you want or pick what he has already made. Price ranges from $25-$45 the $45 Pinata is huge. About the size of a 5 year old kid. These are durable. Not like the Walmart $20 Pinata's that break after 2-3 hits. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Only thing- he only takes cash right now. read more

Seller is awesome! They make a variety of quality pinatas and are very accommodating. The Pinata will definitely take a few 'hits' to open it up, not like cheap party stores! Support local and definitely consider this business, owner was fantastic and we were thrilled with the finished product. FYI-Call first to be sure he is expecting you and not in the back of the store, it is in a small business strip and he keeps the doors locked. You won't be disappointed! read more

Always closed even when the sign says open! Hours don't matter. Call ahead first and get confirmation otherwise not worth your time

We come twice every year for pinatas the owner is very nice and always helpful and willing to do make to order. The pinatas are always amazing and dont break fast so there is more fun. read more

Funny thing about the candy here, it's all got Jalapeno flavoring in it! I think it makes for a good saying when something doesn't go well, "That went over like jalapenos in a pinata!" For four years now I've walked down to Casa de Pinatas (which for those of you who don't speak spanish translates to "extremely durable pinatas") with my daughter and she picks out a pinata. They look so real that she literally befriends it and hangs out with it for a couple days before the beating it to death. The kids smacked it with a plastic bat for awhile, didn't budge. Then we gave them wooden stickes, still nothing. Then the big kids came out with aluminum bats, barely scathed the surface. Then my brother stabbed the pinata 20 times and again attacked it with the aluminum bat. Still no candy. Finally, the kids just charged it and ripped it apart with their bare hands. I guess my only tip is lay into it with all you got, switch blades and all, and have a video camera ready for when the kids start eating jalapeno candy after ripping Hola Gatito apart with their bare hands. read more

If you have him make you a custom piñata be aware he gives you two weeks to pick it up. I would have been okay with this if he had told me. I came in to pick it up and he said he sold it. He didn't even offer other piñatas, all he said was, "oh well, bye." Be aware that if you speak Spanish he will talk your ear off. When I went in the first time to tell him what I wanted he told me his whole life story, and gossip about his family. Unprofessional, I had one foot out the door and he was still talking, and talking. read more

Came twice. Closed at 2:30 and 4:15. Called but goes to mailbox. Not cool to waist someone's time and post that you are open. Sad, I try to keep my business local. read more

Looked up this place on line good reviews. Went omg had a lot to pick from. I use to live in LA so I'm use to seeing piñatas and in ten years living in Albuquerque I haven't seen authentic piñatas anywhere. The gentleman running the store is your typical small business man. Very nice. I got lots of Latin/Hispanic vibes here. Loved it!!! My sister bought a cookie monster piñata with a cookie on its hand very cool. We ordered a minion piñata. Will definitely come back!! read more

Casa De Pinata - Cookie monster piñata $25 great deal holds about 2lbs of candy!!!! - Party Supplies Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Went by during business hours (that are posted on the front door) and the place was shut down. Must not like making money.

Like other reviewers, we also stopped by during business hours (posted on the front door), and the doors were locked. There was a TV playing inside, so we figured the owner would be right back. We waited and waited, but there was no sign of anyone ever returning. We took our business elsewhere--too bad, because it looks like they had some fun inventory! But customers can only buy if the store is open when it says it is. read more

The piñata selection was amazing! We got a custom piñata for my moms birthday and it was amazing, it was a sturdy piñata. I got a rubble piñata for my sons birthday and it looks so cute and feels sturdy. The owner was very nice and helpful. It was worth the price, his card machine is down so only cash is accepted! I highly recommend this place for any piñata! read more

If you ever have need of a pinata this is the ONLY place to go. The owner of the business is incredibly talented and is willing to go out of his way to make your pinata dreams come true. He can do custom work and his prices are very reasonable. Support this local artist and keep your cash out of chain stores. read more

What a great place! You can order any sort of piñata if you don't see what you want. Handmade, smooth style and ruffled. All the Disney Princesses, but Spider Man was the best! read more

Love the piñatas from Casa de Piñata. Make no mistake, these aren't the cheap knockoffs you find at Walmart. Solid construction, great craftsmanship, and worth the money. The piñatas take a beating and make the kids and adults work for the goodies. Nice selection on hand, but if you want a custom piñata definitely plan ahead and get your order in a few weeks before you need it. Take an image of what you want to make sure they can do. I'd recommend them every time. Great local business... read more

I visited Casa de Pinatas with my cousin, who was looking for a piñata for her daughter's birthday party. Although we went during the scheduled hours, the shop was closed and didn't answer their phone. From the windows, it looks like they have great variety of pinatas. I will try this place again but will try to call first before making the trip. read more

Horrible service. I gave him a week to have a piñata ready for my son's birthday party, and he said it wouldn't be ready until the day of the party, but he promised to have it done by 11:00. I made it clear that the party was at 1:00. He did not have the piñata ready on time. I waited until 11:45 and the decoration was still only about half finished. He said he still needed 30 more minutes, but I had to leave so I took it as is. You could barely tell what the piñata was supposed to be, it looked horrible. I will never go back. read more
