Dinner tonight was at the CSR, Maya Grill. We have never been here before and the new menu looked awesome. Deciding to drive over with the top off the Vette and the windows down, it is a gorgeous night and there was a ton of traffic. The CSR is not far from the POFQ but we sat through multiple light changes at each traffic light because of the amount of cars on the road. No prob, we made it on time.
Todd: Why are we eating Mexican, I thought you cancelled Mexican
Me: I did cancel SAI but this is different foodwise
Todd: Well I like the atmosphere better in Epcot
Me: But this place has fried ice cream
Todd: Sold!
The CSR was slamming but that might be because of the huge convention that was just wrapping up and there was a ton of people everywhere. The Maya Grill was half full when we arrived and the time we left it was 100% full with a line out the door waiting to get in. After eating the food I can see why.
My husband was over the moon when he heard the live guitarist playing, he loves eating or sitting in a bar with live music of any kind. The guitarist was amazing, he played everything from Bryan Adams to Hotel California, Sting to Selena. He even sang happy birthday to me! We could have stayed all night just listening to him
The menu on the WDW site is correct and its a pretty extensive menu at that.
For starters Todd had chips and salsa guacamole. He liked the thicker red salsa better than the thinner green one. The chips were hot, thin and crispy and the ones that came with the guacamole a thicker chip. The guac was very good, lots of large hunks of avocado and diced jalapeno. No way could we eat it all
I had the mixed mesclun greens with avocado slices, cucumbers and grape tomatoes tossed in a cilantro citrus vinagrette. The best salad ever! I ate all of it and wanted another one, so fresh and so tasty!
DH had the beef enchiladas with rice and black beans. He didnt like the sauce on the top so he asked for more corn tortillas and re-wrapped his food. He loved it after that....add some guacamole and sour cream to it and he was in heaven, he ate everything!
I wanted a combo of the fajita dish but you can only choose one item so I went with the server's suggestion and got the steak. OMG this was incredible! The cheese was delish, the peppers and onions were so tender and the steak was out of this world! So tender and flavorful, just the best meal. I didnt even eat the tortillas, rice or beans because there was so much meat and veggies and I prefer that over the other stuff. Todd ate my rice but left the beans alone.
Coffee was a no brainer, the table next to us had some and it smelled too good to pass up
Here is the dessert plate. Fried ice cream and coconut flan are the larger dishes, the shot glasses are Dulce de Leche, Berry Parfait, Oreo Cake, a lemon dessert and a Peanut Butter Chocolate Parfait. Todd went with the fried ice cream, that is his favorite. It was delivered with a candle in it for me to blow out
This type of thing is not my cup of tea but he enjoyed it, loved the churros and I had the whipped cream and berries...very good. We had refills on our coffee and just soaked up the music some more.
Todd: You did good kid, I love this place.
Me: I'm so glad...lets book it for every trip
Todd: Agreed! Lets cancel something so we can eat here again this week
See...frustrating
