Rainbow Custom Made Pinatas

Gladys is the best! Her communication is very fast and clear and her work is excellent. She perfectly matched my piñata to a picture that I sent u would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for quality work! Thank you Gladys.

I needed a custom piñata made for a work event and I found Gladys through Unilocal.She was quick to respond, very easy to work with, and the piñata turned out amazing! I was looking for a hourglass with the words ‘100 days’. This was a super last minute request as I called her on Thursday for a piñata I needed by Monday. I sent her a picture of an example and she was able to have it ready to by Sunday. I’m very pleased with how it turned out and I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others!

Gladys came through for us big time! We ordered a basketball shaped piñata and she produced a gorgeous globe the following week in time for our party. I will definitely be ordering more from her in the future, it’s the perfect fun finishing touch for any event!

She did a really nice job with the piñata i ask for. My son loves to see videos about surprise egg that’s why on his birthday party i decided to have a piñata egg to surprise him. I found rainbow piñatas on Unilocal so decided to give them a try. The piñata was just perfect. Thanks you!

Loved our custom watermelon piñata done in 2 days picked it up in bernal. $ 25 super happy!

We’re NUTS about Gladys!
I found Rainbow Pinatas through Unilocal while trying to find a piñata I could fill with nuts. Because of the good reviews, I decided to give Rainbow a try. I emailed
about 1.5 weeks before I needed one made. She responded with price quotes ($ 45 for 2 feet; $ 7 for every extra ½ foot).
I sent her a photo for an almond-​shaped piñata, paid her an initial deposit via PayPal and she got started all within 24 hours of my initial inquiry. A few days later, she told me the piñata was ready for pick-​up at Mi Lindo Peru restaurant in South Mission. I paid the remainder in cash upon arrival and picked up a beautifully made almond piñata.
While I never got to meet Gladys, the piñata she had created was an exact replica of the photo I had sent, cape and all (see photo). We used it for my boyfriend’s birthday party, and the piñata was durable and lasted many rounds of hitting before we cracked it. It was a fun night we’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Gladys!

I’m very happy with the quality of the piñata Gladys made for me. It looked like the pictures I sent her and was the appropriate size and thickness for the small crowd of 2 – 3 year olds we had at our party.
If I could I’d take off half a star because communication was not consistent. I called her a month before the party and she asked me to email her the details of what I wanted. I emailed that night and never got a response. So I emailed again a week later asking if she got my first message and she replied yes. Fast forward to the week before my party I emailed her to ask when the piñata would be done and she replied the next day saying it was done I could go get it at Mi Lindo Peru. I just would have appreciated more proactive communication on her part but all in all I’m very happy with the results.

Rainbow Piñatas came through on my custom rat piñata request and I couldn’t be happier. Very responsive on email, quick turn around, easy pickup, and pretty darn affordable based on my rat piñata research.

Auch Erwachsene wollen manchmal wieder Kind sein, nicht war? — Piñatas sind irgendwie die mexikanische Version vom traditionell-​deutschen Topfschlagen: man haut drauf und schon gibt’s was Süßes!
Ich habe vor kurzem eine kleine Office-​Party organisiert und dafür brauchte ich eine Piñata, in Form unseres Firmenlogos. In der Mission findet man nur Cinderella & Bambi Piñatas und so musste ich den Experten herrufen: der Experte hieß Gladys und sie kann einfach alles… schau’ dir mein Foto an und du weißt schon was ich meine ;-)
Und es ist auch ganz einfach:
— Gladys anrufen oder eine Email schreiben,
— Teile ihr deine Wünsche mit;
— Gib’ ihr mindestens eine Woche Zeit (ich gab’ ihr vier Tage ;-)
— Per Paypal bezahlen;
— Und die Piñata kannst du dann in einem peruanischen Restaurant in der Mission abholen!
Ohne viel Schnickschnack… guter Service, gutes Produkt, guter Review! So einfach ist das…

Believing in the powers of craftspeople and small business, I ordered a piñata for a work function with Gladys last week. When I went to check on pick up time today, she claimed I had never sent my order last week (I have a record of it), and that she wouldn’t be able to do it in time because she «never got my order.»
I’m very disappointed with the level of customer service and now have to figure out what to do for my work function on extremely short notice.

100% RECOMMENDED!!!
I have never had a piñata made by Gladys so I was a bit concerned, but after reading the great reviews I decided to give her a try… I emailed Gladys (
) on a Thursday night (around 10:30p.m.) with a picture of something similar to what I was looking for. I was surprised to hear from Gladys the following morning (Friday around 9:30a.m.) with the news that she would definitely be able to do it!!! Unfortunately, I was very behind and I needed it for that same weekend (Sunday) but she was able to pull it off and have it ready the following day!
Gladys business is not the location which is on Unilocal so don’t try and drive to her location.
She is definitely someone that I will continuing business with in the future!!!
Thank You Gladys!!!

Gladys does an amazing job with all the pinatas I have asked for. From a monster truck to a Captain America shield. I would defiantly recommend to all my friends and family. My son absolutely loved them. Thanks Gladys for doing such an amazing job. I will never trade her for anybody else.

Gladys did an AMAZING rush job for me! In under 2 days, she created a wonderful piñata in the likeness of my friend. She went out of her way to accommodate my needs and time contraints. She even completed the piñata earlier than expected. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a piñata!

I asked a for a pretty unique order… a 3 foot t-​rex. With just an emailed picture, I got a beautiful piñata a few days later. Great quality, great value. Thanks!

Gladys was great! I contacted her by email for a piñata of our company logo for our up coming BBQ. I told her that I needed it extra sturdy because it was going to be mostly men swinging away at it. It took about two weeks to make and Gladys contacted me by email when it was ready for pick up. When my coworker and I went to pick it up we had a good laugh. The piñata was HUGE and THICK! I drive a SUV and it barely fit in the back of my car with the seats down. The piñata was a big hit at the party and we had several different people take a whack at it before it finally burst.
FYI you pick the piñata up at a restaurant called Mi Lindo Peru off Mission Street.

I contacted Gladys by email. She replied right away and said «I can make anything!». I asked her to make a big green vegetable, and she made this giant broccoli piñata. My girlfriend loved it. So awesome!

This is only a half rating I guess you could say, because I was never actually able to pick up something from Rainbow Custom Made Pinatas, or «Gladys». I had been leaving messages on their answering machine and even sent them an e-​mail about the need for a Shrek piñata for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party. Tough, no response. Sigh. I ended up finding a good enough, huge piñata at La Piñata in San Mateo. MAYBE I can try Gladys’ services next time… We’ll see if I get a response back then!

Gladys is great! Her work is amazing and just what I wanted!
I called and emailed Gladys last week and she responded after a couple days. I told her I would like a panda piñata and sent her a picture. She said no problem and told me it would be $ 35 for a 3 foot panda piñata and $ 5 for a matching stick.
A couple days later, she left me a message saying it was ready to be picked up ahead of scheduled at Mi Linda Peru, a restaurant in the mission. When I went there, I was amazed and happy at what a wonderful job she did! It is the cutest panda piñata!
I will definitely contact Gladys for other custom pinatas!

I called Glady’s 10 days prior to my event after searching for a piñata to fit the theme to my son’s party… (Not even party city where I bought everything for his party had a piñata for my theme.) She called me back the same day. We spoke I emailed her a copy of my center piece & she told me that she would definitely be able to do it for me, Less than a week later I picked up my piñata & it was better than I expected… I am so happy about my piñata & would recommend her to any of my friends & use her for future events…
I love my piñata… Thank you Glady’s you are a life saver…

I asked for a giant avocado piñata, and that’s exactly what I got. Perfect! I posted a pic.
I called about a month before the event and left a voicemail. When Gladys called back I described the avocado-​half-​with-​pit-​sticking-​out shape and colors I wanted, She asked how big. I wasn’t sure, but it was a big event with more than 200 people. She recommended 4 – 5 feet. That sounded humongous. I think I ended up asking for 3.5−4 feet. She said no problem, she could do it in time and would make it extra sturdy since it was a large crowd.
It was ready three weeks later. Little Zach picked it up in San Francisco at the appointed time, and I hid the awesome surprise from the bride and groom for another week. It’s nice to have a giant avocado piñata around the house. Every time i saw it sitting there on the guest bed, it made me smile. A giant avocado piñata is funny and sort of soothing at the same time. I miss it. RIP.
Tip: The fill-​hole was kinda little, so I cut the end off a shoe box and bent it to form a funnel/​chute to slide the candy in faster. It was a lot of candy and would have taken forever with out my filling tool.
Price: $ 50. I requested a matching decorated stick (for hitting), which they provided for an extra $ 5.
