La Cava del Tequila – Unique Mexican Libations Inside Epcot®

The margarita is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States. And since today is National Tequila Day, it seems like the perfect opportunity to mention La Cava del Tequila!

Opened in 2009, La Cava del Tequila is located inside the Mexico Pavilion of the Epcot® World Showcase. Sitting off to the right-hand side inside the “pyramid” of the Mexico Pavilion, it is often overlooked by those headed to ride the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros attraction or eat at the San Angel Inn.

La Cava del Tequila offers over 95 varieties of Mexico’s National Drink. With room to only seat 30 people, the lounge offers a quiet, intimate setting for sampling premium tequilas and margaritas. An official “tequila ambassador” from Tequila, Mexico is also on hand to educate guests on the history and making of tequila. La Cava del Tequila features food from a small tapas menu to their guests.

The drink menu is quite extensive and contains about a dozen different margarita flavors, many you have likely never seen anywhere else. Some of the flavors include Avocado, Blood Orange, Jalapeño, Cucumber, and Frozen Coffee. Additional drink options include wine, beer, and a non-alcoholic smoothie.

La Cava del Tequila is open daily from noon til park closing. While it isn’t the only place to get a margarita in Epcot’s® World Showcase, it quite possibly is the best! Be sure to stop by on your next visit to the park.

 

Meet Donald Duck in Mexico

Donald DuckThe construction barriers around the backstage access path next in Epcot‘s Mexico Pavilion has been removed.  Now, you can meet Donald Duck wearing sombrero and his fellow Caballeros, Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles in front of Mexican inspired temple-ruins.  Columns and statues in various states of disrepair add to the ambiance of the area.

This area is also used as an outdoor performance space for the mariachi band, Mariachi Cobre.

Other construction in the Mexico Pavilion for the new quick-service and counter-service restaurants, but expected to be completed later this fall.  For now, you can enjoy a quick bite at the temporary booth outside of the pyramid or dine inside at San Angel Inn.
