La Piñata Payaso

There’s nothing like feeling like a kid! Darth Vader? Yes! A Soccer Ball? Nice. Nacho Libre?! Cool!
I’m not pre-​maturely making my Christmas list. I was at La Piñata Payaso & was in the jam-​packed world of piñatas!
We’re giving a going away party for a friend, and we thought it’d be a cool idea to get a piñata. Now I drive through Pasco a bit, and I had remembered seeing a small store with piñatas a while back. I now had a reason to check it out.
I first called the place, «Buenas», said the woman on the line.
«Hey, I was wondering how late you are open», I asked.
«Momento»
After this I talked with a kid. He told me the hours, and answered my question about piñata pricing. The kid hooked me up with my questions, but it was sounding like I might need to put my minimal Spanish skills to the test — this was sounding like a cool trip!
Upon arrival at the store, we were stoked to see a grip of HUGE pinatas outside the store: a pair of dinosaurs, a Power Ranger, Spider Man, and a herd of horses. Then we went inside.
Piñatas filled this place up the ying yang! It was so fun. We scammered through the small store and checked out all the cardboard & paper creations. It was also fun to try and figure out what some of the piñatas were. We had a Nemo (clown fish), Sleeping Beauty, Corona beer bottle, soccer ball, Optimus Prime, Dora the Expora, Spongebob, a car, Shrek, and then a whole bunch of stars with little pictures on them.
I had a smile plastered on my face as I scanned and scurried around the store, bumping my head into a few piñatas along the way. We ultimately settled on a brown dinosaur. It was about 3.5−4′ tall. We called her Sue. And get this, Sue only cost $ 25! What a deal!
So these piñatas come un-​filled. You have to perform some surgery on your piñata to find the hole to fill it. The boy showed us where the hole should be. They also sell «piñata poles» here as well (they looked like decorated dowel rods).
Piñatas aren’t all that they sell here. This is a party supply store. We saw lots of Mexican candy, wrapping paper, and all sorts of other party favors. Their card also shows those big bouncy houses.
It definitely looks like a mom & pop operation, and that’s what makes this place so cool. Can’t wait to get my next piñata.
