Ok so now I'm sitting here with a big goofy grin on MY face because I'm giggling about Barbs reaction!
Well your meal looks good but too bad you didn't order the queso fundido. I'm bad for being talked into ordering things other people liked! Next time

Glad you enjoyed that hilarious moment Wendy! And definitely I'm not asking for opinions next time.
Great! Maybe I'll stick to my original plan then. Watch by the time I get back there in May, they won't be making them anywhere. Btw, are the drinks all that they're hyped up to be?
That's so me. You have plenty of time to decide, change your mind, and then change it back!
I've only had the strawberry (just ok, not strawberry enough) and avocado (uhhh not sure how to describe this one other than fruity strange) margaritas. Not sure I categorize them as amazing or anything.
Heehee! Guilty as charged!
Then I had another scare when recently another reporter sent a La Cava menu pic and the avocado margarita was missing.
She was told that they had temporarily removed it from the menu during the F & W Festival. What's up with that?!?!
I think they still made her one though and said it would be back on the menu after the festival. Since today concludes the F & W festival, I'm anxiously awaiting a live update from La Cava that includes a menu pic. I NEED to see it in writing!
That was one of the best Dining Review quotes - ever!!
Seriously, they need to stop messing with the margarita choices. Don't they know we have live reporter reporting back to the Dis community?
I almost had heart failure, I was looking forward to trying the avocado margarita! Thank goodness he didn't know what he was talking about! We have never had a meal there, but I'm thinking it looks pretty good! May have to add it!
Definitely add it to your dining line up Jacquie. The good news is that avocado margarita should still be there for your next trip.
I know that I would love the appetizer at San Angel. I'll check the menus again and see which one my DH would like better. Or maybe we can work in a lunch at San Angel during our December trip and save La Hacienda for March.
Oh so hard to decide huh? I'll be interested to see what you end up doing! It's still hard for me to decide between the two even with favoring the app at SAI.
The coffee margarita looks so good. I have to check out the menu. LOL
We ate there at La Hacienda and he meal was just awful. Vinny said he will never go back again. I kind of feel the same way. The food just tasted like it was all old.
I didn't even notice that coffee margarita. Very interesting! Next they'll come up with a hibiscus margarita. Oh wait, don't they have that somewhere??
Oh no! No bueno. As a matter of fact, I did not like my first meal there. The shrimp in the shrimp tacos did not taste fresh and I didn't like the sauce or the breading. Em wanted to return so that's what we did.
Ah yes, I remember the 'disappearing avocado margarita 2013' news flash only too well
I had to get myself signed off work for emotional turmoil
Ha ha! That's too funny my little cucumber margarita friend! You do have a masters in margaritas so I expect to see one or more next trip!
Nice review of your meal at La Hacienda, Brenda. As you know, I don't eat Mexican, but I told Mary to book it if the girls want to eat there in June. I'm thinking I could eat that pork rib eye without a problem.
Love your "after dinner" photo.
That's very nice of you to have Mary book this for your group even though you don't like Mexican food. You should be able to order the pork without the sauce or on the side as well and that should make it less "Mexican". I hope you enjoy it.
I was also not a big fan of my margarita at La Hacienda! What a bummer for a Mexican restaurant!
The filling and sauce in the gordito looks good, but even from the photo you can tell the cakes are dry. Not good! Queso too cheesy?! It is really, really hard to order something once a waiter tells you he doesn't recommend it. I can't even describe the feeling-- even if you KNOW you'd enjoy it, I'd feel so weird/guilty being like "Ehhh, I'll have it even though you say it's bad." Definitely try it next time, though-- it looks amazing in all of the pictures I've seen!!
Definitely less ice and more strawberry mix would have been better. Getting brain freeze after 2 sips is no fun!
Seriously, too cheesy queso app. That's a reverse oxymoron??
Exactly, you get that moment that you would basically be saying I don't care what you think I'll order it anyway.
Gosh, isn't that just the worst when you are swayed by waiters suggestions and regret it? Oh well. What can ya do?
I hope your strawberry marg was still enjoyable. The avocado margarita drama is cracking me up. Hopefully they still have the margaritas of legend by the time I make it over there. I keep saying "next time" but I can never seem to spend enough time in Epcot!
The margarita drama was hilarious once I knew what was going on. At the time I was just thinking oh well, let's go with another flavor. I can relate to your "next time" theory. I took me 6 trips to Disney before I ordered one.
At least you got a seat by the window, right? I'm glad you guys got to enjoy the show, even if dinner was a bit eh. Some of the stuff looked super yummy.
Right! The seat was great for Illuminations. At least for most of Illuminations.
Heck, margaritas makes things better.
