La Piñata Replaces Mexicali Sushi Bar in East Boston

A brand new Mexican restaurant has come to East Boston, replacing a Mexican-Japanese spot that was apparently under the same ownership.

According to Bessie King of Village Mexico in Boston (who posted about it within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page), La Piñata is now up and running on Sumner Street in Maverick Square, opening where Mexicali Sushi Bar had been. An earlier Universal Hub article indicates that this is a name and concept change, while the menu shows such options as tortas, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, and tostadas, and it appears that some sushi options remain in place as well.

Mexicali Sushi Bar first opened in early 2020.

The address for La Piñata is 199 Sumner Street, East Boston, MA, 02128. Its Instagram page can be found at https://ift.tt/50BtaDE
