Cantina de San Angel at Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion

The Mexico Pavilion along the World Showcase Lagoon waterfront in Epcot® has been lined with construction walls. The popular Cantina de San Angel restaurant is expanding, and when the wall comes down there will be 400 seats.  The new Cantina will have both al fresco and air-conditioned seating for lunch as well as a coveted spot for dinner and viewing IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, the nightly Epcot® fireworks spectacular. Half the space will be occupied by a table-service restaurant, and the other half by a counter-service dining option.  The Cantina will then be known by a new name; La Hacienda de San Angel.

Plans are to open in the fall, just in time for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Until then, you can get your guacamole fix inside at San Angel Inn underneath a blanket of stars inside of the Pavilion.  Or try the newer La Cava de Tequila with 95 varieties of tequila served in addition to mouthwatering margaritas (plus a variety of quick tastes served tapas style). If you’re just passing by outside, the Taqueria del Lago kiosk serves Mexican favorites such as nachos and quesadillas and mixes a delicious margarita for sipping and strolling.

Can’t wait to taste that delicious Mexican food?
