This is a hidden gem, hiding in plain sight…read more I'm not certain how to classify it. Maybe "Mexican oriented tapas bar"? A pretty broad menu, but lots and lots of small plates, in addition to an equal number of entrees. Our party had drinks, plenty of drinks. And an assortment of appetizers: Grilled Steak and pork belly sopes, quesadillas, tacos.... Every bite was a delight. One person in our party ordered the lasagna. That seemed kind of risky: Italian food in a "Mexican" restaurant? But -- WOW. It was so tasty! Not a traditional Italian lasagna, but so many deep, rich flavors. Really tasty. Dessert was a chocolate cake that our table literally could not finish. It was so huge and so rich. Not overly sweet, but very deep chocolate flavors, brought out by the excellent coffee. Our host, Paco, and his team took great care of us, and I'm sure he will do the same for you. Give them a try; you'll like it.

They've got a wide selection of entrees and small plates, but -- because the prices are relatively low -- one is tempted to order too many dishes. So a "caja para llevar" is always required. The place is spotless; the staff is courteous and attentive. They offer inside table seating, or booths, or a limited number of outdoor seats. It's relatively upscale for Rincon de Guayabitos, and it's become a regular spot on our dining-out circuit. Highly recommended.

And... I've never had a bad meal here; the fish and the shrimp tacos are really the best in town; the prices are right; they have a full bar. There's plenty of fresh air and they keep a couple of tables on the sidewalk for al fresco dining, should you choose. This is either a warning, or an enticement (which one depends on you): They have several TVs going on, simultaneously, usually all with different content. There may be sports on a couple, and Mexican TV on a couple, and maybe even a telenovela. This can add to the high-excitement factor, but on many days they focus in on all-sports, all the time. Especially football; American or soccer. Highly recommended.

I'm updating my previous 5-star review based on my lunch at Pineda yesterday…read more I'm lowering my assessment to FOUR stars because, while the quality of the food, service, and facilities are still top notch, the owners have continued to raise prices to the point where the value is questionable. One example (based on my menu photo in 2021): The zarandeado then was $190. It's now $445. That's a pretty significant jump. In addition to the increased prices they've dropped many items from their menu and in some cases reduced portions. My waiter told me that they removed the rice and bean side dishes from the "family platters" and the Mexicans, especially, were (!understatement alert!) "displeased." I can understand why: Prices up; selection and quantity down. The impact of this business decision shows. I've been there now a couple of times in Peak Snowbird Season and both times there's been no problem getting a table; it's just not nearly as crowded as it has been previously. Shame, really. I like this place; the food is great, the service is great, the cleanliness is great, the view is great. But coming in with smaller portions, reduced choices, and increased prices is really taking its toll on Pineda. PS: While the Tostada Mixta is one of the starters that's been stripped from the menu, my waiter was kind enough to persuade the kitchen to make one for me anyway (market price).
