The Mexico Pavilion

[cy1229]

Anyone here eaten at La Hacienda? We've only eaten lunch there prior to the expansion and we just booked an evening there for dinner.

Is this the restaurant on the main floor of the pavilion, overlooking the canal for the boat attraction? If it is, we ate there in October, and I wasn't impressed. Service was EXCELLENT but the food didn't thrill me. It wasn't bad, just not great. Neutral is the best word for it, I guess, and if you're going to spend this much money for a meal, it should be better than neutral.

My sister had an avocado margarita which was weird. I don't remember if she liked it. I know she finished it, though. I know I wouldn't have liked it, but I'm not a huge avocado fan, unless they're in guacamole.

I'll have hubby take a look at this tonight and chime in if he has anything to add. He has a subsonic account, but never posts.

I had my first jalapeño margarita last week courtesy of M-dude. It wasn't what I expected. Definitely interesting though.

Negative, Cy1229! La Hacienda is outside of the pyramid. It's overlooking the water and was recently added to back in 2010 I believe.

Oh. Ok. Well then disregard all that.

Did we eat at San Angel Inn? You'd think I'd know this, but that was not a good day for me. Almost had heat stroke.

[TikiTikiRoom]

Yes, I believe the indoor venue is San Angel Inn.

Yes, I believe the indoor venue is San Angel Inn.

Yes it is. I just checked the menu this afternoon because we have never eaten there and I am planning our vacation. If it is not that great I maybe skip it.

Well, you have to understand, I'm not much of a Mexican food fan. I don't dislike it, I just wouldn't choose it over something else. So maybe others should chime in, or maybe you'd like to read some other reviews on other sites, before making your decision. Like I said, we didn't have a bad meal, just not anything to rave about. We had really good food at Teppan Edo this year. Our other favorite meals were at Boma (best) and Mama Melrose.

I am not sure if I should post this on this tread so excuse me for my newbiesim.

Does anyone ever remember water cascading down the pyramid of the Mexico pavilion on the steps that rise to the top ?

I never have, no. Did ancient Mayan/Aztec pyramids have cascading waterfalls?

Yes, but it was usually the blood of their sacrifices in some instances they think there were thousands of people killed in a single ritual.

I was gonna say...

Makes me wanna go watch Apocalypto again. Such a good movie.

Such a lovely visual right before lunch. Thanks for that.

I'm glad Disney doesn't feel the need to be THAT realistic.

[MatMan]

...Or it could just be that Disney didn't want a lot of young people wearing those masks and "play fighting" throughout the park.

This makes the most sense. I remember hearing years ago that you couldn't buy gum in the parks because they didn't want people spitting their gum out everywhere. I don't chew gum, so I've never really noticed. Is that true?
