I was so happy to stumble on this Epcot experience of yours. Back in the day, it was 1989 we visited Orlando for the very first time. Epcot was one of our and first visits and we did dine at this restaurant. I do recall that chips and salsa was delivered to our table complementary and also the many times we did visit in years past. That first visit I ordered a chili relleno dish that was beyond fantastic. We also were seated there at the front overlooking the River of Time ride. Back then before the Three Caballeros it was more authentically themed and much enjoyed and appreciated. BTW, I was privileged to march down Main Street USA at Disneyland, Calif. It was in '76 and '77 with a drum and bugle corps I was a member of and my High School Marching Band. We had over 250 members in that band. Great times, I was so blessed while growing up and having these amazing adventures. Love your content. Much love.
I totally agree with you on making a meal out of the chips and salsa,guacamole,etc. with a margarita for sure. Mexican food is my absolute favorite. You and I would get along so well 😀. Thank you again Kristen and also Ryan. This is my favorite restaurant in Epcot. The food is good/drinks and the atmosphere is phenomenal 👍
one of my favorite things about Ryan is how much he laughs at his own jokes 😂 Ive also had that enchilada entree before and it was just so much salsa and so acidic I couldn't enjoy it (and I love green salsa) I had the worst stomach ache after. It was a tum inducer for sure.
Great descriptions of your food experience, your awareness of the smokiness in the salsa highlights your food insights. Thanks for letting Ryan eat the queso after 45 minutes. Sorry that this Showcase food experience fell south of the border. Looking forward to your Canada LeCritique.
My husband and I love this restaurant although it doesn’t have the best option for kids meals. We get the steak and seabass which have never disappointed us which is why we regularly order them. The avocado margarita is HANDS DOWN the best drink of my life. The ambiance is also the best in Disney world. It’s a complete vibe.
How you feel about Epcot Mexican food is exactly how I feel about Italian and Chinese food. We did Via Napoli last time we went down and you can get the same quality relatively close to me for a fraction of the price. However, we're not very fortunate with Mexican food in my area, and the decent local places really only do tacos.
No complimentary chips and salsa? That ain't right. With the boats floating by, this restaurant reminds me of the river walk in San Antonio. I feel like the salsa verde is too sour to be the main sauce in the entrée. It needs to be calmed down with something else, like sour cream. Thanks for bringing us along, Kristen!
ive just started to watch your videos and i really enjoy them i have seen u on Paging Mr Morrow videos so thought i would start watching your videos and im glad i did and look forward to more videos
That Avocado Cava Margarita is a must have right?! SO good. Had it at the other restaurant in Epcot Mexico at La Cantina De San Angel with their shrimp tacos. Loved both- try the shrimp tacos sometime!
I absolutely hated the avocado margarita when I tried it in 2011 and now you've got me considering trying it again haha. My friends and I love San Angel Inn. When we went this summer, my one friend really wanted The Lily for her birthday and they went out of their way to get it for her!
Great review of a restaurant we really enjoy. It’s kind of hit or miss sometimes for us too, but you can’t beat the theming of San Angel Inn. But I agree with you on the chips and dip! I can make a whole meal out of my chips and dip and a nice beverage and be a totally happy with that!
So Funny Michellethompson…my Wife and I say the same… We enjoy the VLOGs so much and wonder the same-we never saw him in her family video. The fans have to know! 😂enjoying the videos- keep it up!
We just ate there last month and literally had the same table so there for the atmosphere for suree🤌🏼! also had to use phone flashlight to see the menu 😅and the family behind us brought their toddlers that screamed the entire time 😅🥲but besides that we had like the same meal as you and our server was soo nice and refilled our chips and dips and tortillas!! Totally agree on them having a dip flight tho! 👌🏽
Loved this, over from the UK later in the year and we were considering this as last time we ate at la hacienda. What about a review on le cellier, that's our other consideration...we travel to France quite a bit plus obviously we can have fish and chips whenever we want 😊 so we'll skip uk and France except of course the pilgrimage pint at the Rose and Crown ❤
I’m dining at every restaurant in the World Showcase so I’ll be getting to Le Cellier! It’s my favorite restaurant in the world showcase. The ribeye is 👌🏼
In the summer a place called Gabriel's Fountain in Martinsville NJ has cornbread ice cream....fantastic if you're in NJ in summer ever. It's better than that ice cream in my opinion. No popcorn though.
When we went there for lunch I was completely full for the whole day. My problem with Mexican food I compare it to Jose Tejas in Woodbridge and Fairfield NJ (maybe being a Jersey girl you have been there). Still looking for a replacement in our part of Florida since we moved down here. Thanks for sharing.
my daughter wanted to go for her birthday last month, we are not adventurous eaters.... we got the chips and queso and chicken quesadillas from the kids menu and they were really good! we tipped well for taking up the table with just that, but I feel like sometimes the restaurants try to get a bit too fancy
I live in an area with great authentic Mexican food we have had corn ice cream for years it’s great! And you have to try tajin on fruit it’s so good! Great video!
We had a trio combo of queso, salsa and guac with chips at La Cava and it was so good. Probably too many people would order the trio and nothing more at the restaurant. two people can definitely make a meal out of the trio at La Cava for around $25.
Honestly, I just suggest going to La cava, getting a table inside, ordering a marg, chips & dips trio. You aren’t going to find good authentic mexican food in the parks. But out of all the spots, Frontera Cocina in Springs has the best food out of all the restaurants
Looks like an awesome atmosphere- I always want to eat there when i go on the ride! 🤣 But, honestly, they can't throw a couple handfuls of chips and a couple spoonfuls of salsa in for "free"?? I feel like even the cheap hole-in-the-wall mexican places manage to do that!! 🙃 Thanks to you and Ryan for sharing!
It’s a shame your entree was not too good. It looked like it was missing care, like someone in the kitchen threw it together real quick. At least apps and dessert was good ❤ It’s interesting how all these restaurants at the Disney parks can vary so greatly in quality of food. I feel like at times price has nothing to do with it, I guess maybe it’s management or something? Thanks for sharing 🎉
Can someone please explain the “Ryan is my brother” situation. I’ve been watching for a while and am so lost. Always referenced as if it’s a joke but never clarifies.
Loving the vlogs. I agree that the Enchiladas are way over priced. That size of dish should be $18-22. But its Disney. And yes, chips and salsa should come with it.
I agree about the chip, salsa and dips are the BEST part of the meal! My absolute favorite food 😋 Also agree without the free chips and salsa. When i lived in England the only Mexican restaurant in town (which was not Mexican in my opinion) made you pay for chips and salsa "How Rude" 😂🤣
I was just there just recently found it nice fun to do but crowded and the dark made me think dirty never really saw anyone cleaning and the food was meh but overall a fun expierience to say i did....check
My wife and I ate at San Angel Inn once back in 1987. Back then it was cheap and quite good. I haven't eaten there since. Probably never will again at those prices and the mediocre food these days.
I never like asking the waiter what is their favorite Because then I would feel compelled to get that. I guess it could work if you’re unsure what to get, but I would rather select something myself since I know what I like best.
So while I’m wearing a high vegan channel, I’m sure there’s some vegan or vegetarian givers, so I was wondering if it wasn’t too much trouble and when you’re doing these reviews, can you point out the vegetarian and vegan options possibly and if there is an any may be a look at some, that could be made it vegan or vegetarian quite easily. They make it with some modifications? I could do that it would be much appreciated because it’s very difficult for vegans are vegetarian to find anything while they’re there.
Had dinner at San Angel Inn on my past trip (December) not worth it. They changed the presentation. Had the enchiladas which should be something easy to make, I was disappointed. They served it on a cast iron skillet, with what I think as a lightly smeared of refried beans. Enchilada sauce was bitter, I missed the side of rice. Have given San Angel inn 4 tries and as a Mexican my self food is mediocre. 🤷🏻♂️ La Hacienda de San Angel same disappointment. To be honest the quick service is decent and way better. You’re paying for the experience. For the overpriced food they serve, chips and salsa should be included. I also looked at photos before deciding what to gets. Tip: Don’t get the tacos, way way overpriced for sad tacos.
Another tuber who likes to eat & eat the unhealthy foods. oh joy and don't they always have desert, how many calories. oh what fun it is to watch, not.😂 Channel boring.

For the theming you can’t beat that restaurant, great video!
Missed opportunity to name that drink La Cava-cado. Also I swear back in 2018 on my honeymoon we got complimentary chips and salsa at San Angel Inn.
one of my favorite things about Ryan is how much he laughs at his own jokes 😂 Ive also had that enchilada entree before and it was just so much salsa and so acidic I couldn't enjoy it (and I love green salsa) I had the worst stomach ache after. It was a tum inducer for sure.
Morning-Coming back in August and loving this series because I’m trying to lock down my dinner choices 😂😂🎉
Yay!! Enjoy your trip

You and your brother are a delight!
Great and honest review. Really loving your channel!
Looking forward to watching your channel really blow up in 2024. Thanks for what you do. 😊😊
I ALWAYS go on Yelp before i go to a restaurant and not necessarily for the reviews but to scroll through the pics of the food and menu lol
My husband and I love this restaurant although it doesn’t have the best option for kids meals. We get the steak and seabass which have never disappointed us which is why we regularly order them. The avocado margarita is HANDS DOWN the best drink of my life. The ambiance is also the best in Disney world. It’s a complete vibe.
One of my favorite places.. love the ride just so cute.
another great video, kristen🥳🙌🏼
I agree that no complimentary chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant is a crime.
I tried the avocado margarita last time I was there and loved it. So creamy and delicious. Glad you gave it another try!
How you feel about Epcot Mexican food is exactly how I feel about Italian and Chinese food. We did Via Napoli last time we went down and you can get the same quality relatively close to me for a fraction of the price.

I would definitely go and just get chips, salsa, queso and corn ice cream! Thanks Kristen!
I really enjoy your reviews. Thanks!
Can’t wait to see your review on Takumi Tei and Monsieur Paul. I went to both recently and loved the experience!
I went to Moniseur Paul before it was prixe fix but can’t wait to check it out now that it’s changed! Both coming soon
No complimentary chips and salsa? That ain't right.

I had a great experience there but it is very dark!
I was hoping you’d get the queso fundido! That’s the thing that’s good there! So cheesy, I am drooling thinking of it lol.
I've always wondered if it was worth eating here, so thank you for the video!!
Kristen, I don't need to hear about bodily functions during a food review. I love watching you!!❤
We just ate there last month and literally had the same table so there for the atmosphere for suree🤌🏼! also had to use phone flashlight to see the menu 😅and the family behind us brought their toddlers that screamed the entire time 😅🥲but besides that we had like the same meal as you and our server was soo nice and refilled our chips and dips and tortillas!!

I think she just felt bad for us about the screaming kids lol but i made sure to give her a rave review 🤌🏼❣️
Love La Cava but was afraid to try the avocado margarita. Love the Lily but so expensive!
Been to that restaurant and it is dark!
it all looks so good! thank you!
That ribeye taco is also on the menu at the San angel inn located in Mexico. No idea if it’s shaved.

Still looking for a replacement in our part of Florida since we moved down here. Thanks for sharing.
Jose Tejas is my absolute fave. The blackened salmon, chips & salsa, margs, Tejas chicken. The best
I love the Pollo a Las Rajas at San Angel Inn💚
I feel better prepared for our visit thank you
They used to give you chips and salsa a few years ago. Pre-Covid. Now it’s a charge.
my daughter wanted to go for her birthday last month, we are not adventurous eaters.... we got the chips and queso and chicken quesadillas from the kids menu and they were really good! we tipped well for taking up the table with just that, but I feel like sometimes the restaurants try to get a bit too fancy

I bet your corn ice cream isn’t $10 a scoop hahaaa but so good!
@@wrightdownmainstreet lol true!
The tacos looks good. Chips and Queso are the best!😁
I wish they had churro ice cream there !! I can’t believe there is no chips and queso complimentary, a total crime lol.
They also charge you for more chips at San Angel Inn if you end up needing more for your dips.
That looks like a nice restaurant remind you of the Blue Bayou Restaurant Disneyland
Very similar in terms of atmosphere!
We had a trio combo of queso, salsa and guac with chips at La Cava and it was so good. Probably too many people would order the trio and nothing more at the restaurant.
two people can definitely make a meal out of the trio at La Cava for around $25.
I love that avocado margarita.
where would you go IN disney for mexican? Not going off property next trip and was curious what you would suggest!💚💜
Honestly, I just suggest going to La cava, getting a table inside, ordering a marg, chips & dips trio. You aren’t going to find good authentic mexican food in the parks. But out of all the spots, Frontera Cocina in Springs has the best food out of all the restaurants
@@wrightdownmainstreet you rock!! We may try Frontera! looking for a sitdown place to order entrees. The mexican margs will be had in epcot🥰
Looks like an awesome atmosphere- I always want to eat there when i go on the ride! 🤣 But, honestly, they can't throw a couple handfuls of chips and a couple spoonfuls of salsa in for "free"??

Your hair looks extra good in this one.
I love corn ice cream
Can someone please explain the “Ryan is my brother” situation. I’ve been watching for a while and am so lost. Always referenced as if it’s a joke but never clarifies.
Me too!
he’s actually her twin
No he's not related to her it's a joke
They literally look nothing like he must be adopted
They’re not related? I guess I didn’t get it. I thought that was her brother.
Loving the vlogs. I agree that the Enchiladas are way over priced. That size of dish should be $18-22. But its Disney. And yes, chips and salsa should come with it.
Do you do anything but eat at the restaurants?
I agree about the chip, salsa and dips are the BEST part of the meal! My absolute favorite food 😋 Also agree without the free chips and salsa. When i lived in England the only Mexican restaurant in town (which was not Mexican in my opinion) made you pay for chips and salsa "How Rude" 😂🤣
gracias Kristen
I’m from Texas tex mex and authentic Mexican we have and not having chips is buzzkill
I was just there just recently found it nice fun to do but crowded and the dark made me think dirty never really saw anyone cleaning and the food was meh but overall a fun expierience to say i did....check
When I ate there the ambiance was great, but my entree was not good either and very expensive.
Can you go to space 220 please?! I feel like no one goes back anymore
I did a video there not too long ago
Could you link it please I don’t see it
I like La hacienda on the water at Epcot better however, the guac and queso are always a hit I wouldn’t ever go back to San
My wife and I ate at San Angel Inn once back in 1987. Back then it was cheap and quite good. I haven't eaten there since. Probably never will again at those prices and the mediocre food these days.
Kristin, I need to know where the Jiko mac and cheese ranks according to you!!
I actually have never had it. I’ve been meaning to get over there for a while. It will happen eventually 😅
I have great memories kf this olace, but the menu was different (it was 2016)
I literally thought the ribeye tasted like steakums 😂 def reminded me of a cheesesteak.
Legit first thought that crossed through my mind when I tried it😂 Steakums with onions. Which tastes good, but not what I want for $34
Woooo
Didn't the chocolate pyramid cost like fifty dollars?
If your taste buds have changed. Try Mayo again! 😂 totally kidding!!
No shot! It’s not because of the taste. It’s a mental block 😂
Frisbee me a tortilla!
I never like asking the waiter what is their favorite Because then I would feel compelled to get that.
I guess it could work if you’re unsure what to get, but I would rather select something myself since I know what I like best.
Throw someone a roll!!!
If I had a dollar for everyone that yelled that while going by on their boat
@@wrightdownmainstreet it’s not the right cuisine.. 2024 #throwmeanavocado

He’s my brother

No complimentary chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant?!
A crime against humanity.
Then again, it’s Disney.
A true tragedy
biergarten or akershus !
Biergarten for food & experience. Unless you have little ones that want to dine with princesses
Dolphin
I don't know how you vloggers afford these expensive Disney restaurants😮
I dined at Rick Bayless restaurant at Disney Springs and paid less than you did at that place. Way overpriced
Been 2x to give it a chance but it's a no for me. 😊
Had dinner at San Angel Inn on my past trip (December) not worth it. They changed the presentation. Had the enchiladas which should be something easy to make, I was disappointed.
