Mouse Extra

So you booked your Disney World vacation late, or maybe you just forgot to make advanced dining reservations.  Either way, getting a sit-down meal at someplace other than Nine Dragons is impossible.  Never fear, you’re in the World Showcase, and great food is usually just a few steps away.  One option is Cantina de San Angel, the counter service destination at the Mexico Pavilion.

The selection here is small, but that is true of every counter service stop in the World Showcase.  But with burritos, tacos and nachos on the menu, what more do you need?  The food is generally decent, however the portions are small so a churro might be a nice add-on to your meal.  All in all, it is a fair option to a very expensive meal at one of Epcot’s restaurants.  It is also a pleasant change from the chicken fingers and hot dogs that blanket many of Walt Disney World’s counter service.

What the Cantina de San Angel lacks in food quality, it almost makes up for in atmosphere.  This place has perhaps the best location anywhere on property.  If you time it right, the sun setting across the World Showcase Lagoon is simple spectacular.  Have a burrito, and maybe a churro, and enjoy the waterfront view with a nice margarita, which is only steps away.
