![]() The original San Angel Inn Drinksĭrinks are a specialty here. ![]() All of the restaurants are tied to the San Angel Inn inside the pyramid. La Hacienda is one of the group of restaurants found in the Mexico Pavilion. Photo by InsidetheMagic About the Restaurant There is the the table service restaurant inside where you can sit down and a server will bring you your food and a counter service restaurant outside where you can walk up and order your food. It’s a great place to watch Illuminations. This new EPCOT restaurant is located right on the World Showcase Lagoon. When I left Niki and her husband that night I was very happy that I had already made plans to have two more meals with them during the second week of my trip.La Hacienda y La Cantina de San Angel (whew, that’s a mouthful) you can eat some interesting Mexican food and enjoy a beautiful, festive setting. However, with good food (except for my margarita) and great company, this dinner was exactly what I needed to cheer me up after receiving the bad news about Linda. But as I said previously, I had something much better in mind. I’ve had the apple empanada before, which is actually what I would call an apple turnover, and it’s ok. Niki and her husband were too full and I had something else in mind from elsewhere so we all passed on dessert but here is a photo of the Dessert section of their menu… The tilapia was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the roasted corn and the grilled veggies (especially the zucchini) that accompanied my fish. Pescado de la Talla – Grilled Tilapia served with esquites (roasted corn), nopales (cactus leaves), and mango chutney They had ordered this before and loved it and they seemed to enjoy it again this time.Īs for me, I too went with an entree that I had enjoyed here previously… Niki and her husband shared the very impressive looking Seafood Platter… (sorry for the blurry pic)ĭel Mar – Mixed grill offering Shrimp, Fish, Scallops and Vegetables, served with beans and fresh salsas I’ll just have to stick to La Cava or San Angel Inn (which comes from La Cava) for my Avocado margarita fix from now on.Īnyway, they brought the complimentary chips and salsa to our table to munch on while we sipped on our drinks and waited for the entrees to arrive…įor some reason, I don’t recall if I had any of these so I can’t really comment as to how they were. Fool me twice, shame on me.” So there will not be a third time. Well, you know that saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. I chalked it up to a fluke though, figuring the bartender was having a bad night or something. When I ordered the Avocado margarita during my March 2013 dinner here it was exactly the same, mostly ice. I have to admit though that this was the second time that this happened to me at La Hacienda. I didn’t want to start our first meal together on a negative note so I just kept still. I probably would have sent it back had I not been dining with people that I had just met. ![]() This was mostly ice and had very little flavor or alcohol, as far as I could tell. Our server said they could in fact make me an Avocado margarita so I was a happy camper…well, until this was presented to me.Īvocado Margarita with El Mayor premium silver Tequila, melon liqueur, fresh avocado, agave nectar and fresh lime juice, served frozen with a hibiscus Himalayan salt rim The last time I had dined at La Hacienda (March 2013) the Avocado margarita was on the menu here so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. I believe that Niki and her husband both chose a Classic margarita, but as for me, I had to ask if they might have my beloved Avocado margarita even though it was not listed on the menu. Unfortunately we didn’t get a table by the window, but it wasn’t a big deal since I don’t believe they were planning to stay for Illuminations anyway.īut first things first, which was a round of margaritas for the table. Once they arrived and checked in, it wasn’t long before we were seated. I arrived early for our reservation so found a seat by the entrance to the restaurant and did some people watching while I waited for Niki and her husband. Anyway, Niki had graciously invited me to join her and her husband for dinner on this night at Epcot’s… But Niki was on her way to a wine demo when she spotted me in line so we only had time for a quick hello then so I don’t really count that as our first meeting. Technically we had run into each other at the Festival Center two days earlier while I was in line for the Carla Hall demo. Dinner plans for this evening included my first meeting with another DIS board member, Niki Andiokno, and her husband.
