San Angel Inn:
This was the first restaurant that we had a long wait to be seated. As we were waiting for our table there was a person telling everyone in line for the restaurant to "go away if you don't have a reservation." I don't think he spoke very good English and it was just really funny hearing him telling people to "go away." We got a good laugh out of that so the wait was actually kind of entertaining! Anyway, we ended up waiting 45 minutes which seemed like a long time with ADR's, but we weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal.
I started with a frozen strawberry margarita, virgin, of course! Actually, it was broght to me with the alcohol in it! I took one sip, made a very strange face, and my parents immediately sent it back! After getting that corrected the margarita was very good.
The vegetarian option was angel hair pasta with chipotle pepper sauce and shrimp. I could have gotten it minus the shrip, but it sounded awful and there was the issue of the pepper sauce. Instead I had a side salad and a cheese quesadilla, which was not on the menu. When I didn't like the pasta option I had asked the server to see a children's menu. It had a chicken quesadilla on it, so I just got this minus the chicken. It was a tortilla filled with cheese, and grilled. It was served with refried beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. It was wonderful! It was probably one of my favorite things I ordered the whole trip. When I tried to order this, since it was a kid's meal the server said he would have to make me an adult portion and it was WAY too much food. I only finished about half of it. It's just another example of the fact that the waitstaff at Disney is ready and willing to help with vegetarian options!
Oh, the salad was good too. I really liked that it had avocado on it. Avocado is one of my favorites!
The only bad thing about this meal was the service. I could tell the server was having a heck of a time understanding us and every time we saw him he was running around trying to keep up. I am a Spanish minor in College and so I asked him if he would prefer we order in Spanish. He said "YES" really loud and enthusiastically. He said he had just moved from Mexico City 2 weeks ago and he was having the hardest time adjusting. He said it seems like everyone mumbles and talks really fast. I genuinely felt bad for this guy. I mean even minoring in Spanish, I can't see moving to Mexico City to become a waitress, I would die! So, although I felt bad for this guy, I also have to mention that including the time we waited for our table this meal took 2 hours and 15 minutes. By the end we were just so ready to go. We skipped dessert because we didn't want to be in there another 45 minutes.
I will definitely return to San Angel Inn, my quesadilla was excellent, and the atmosphere in this restaurant is absolutely gorgeous.
I keep thinking I must be almost done with these reviews, but since we were there 2 weeks, I still have a lot more to do! Still coming are L'Originale Alfredo di Roma, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Olivia's, Cape May Cafe, Kona Cafe, and the Concourse Steakhouse!
