El Pirata Y El Perico Restaurante

[MosMom]

When was the last time you saw this place open? Everytime we go to Disney, it is closed. I haven't seen it open since 2000. We've been at Spring Break and in June which I would think would be higher volume times and it was still closed. Do I just have extraordinarily bad luck or is this place barely ever open?

When I went in June (20th-28th), it was closed. I would think that would be considered a high volume time.

It is open very rarely.

Closed the last time we went.

We went in June and it was only open certain days of the week. Our first MK day was Sunday and it was closed but when we went back Mon or Tue it was open.
When you get to the MK check the guide with park hours and parade times, It did mention on there what days it was open.
We did eat there the day we found it and it was good.

We did eat there the day we found it and it was good.

I know, I've always enjoyed it but never get to eat there anymore. Thanks for the tip Deena!

 

[phorsenuf]

I ate there in July (around the 10th). It was very good and I was thrilled it was finally open so I could try it.

 

[Steffi]

It was open on August 1st. We didn't eat there, but my DD commented on the fact that she had never seen the place open before.

seriously.
I remember this because:
1. it was our first day at WDW and we went to MK
2. we always ride POTC first...we were hungry...got a taco salad
3. DH propopsed to me during SpectroMagic later that night

It was open a couple weekends ago when we were out there. I wanted to try it out, but DH had his heart set on Pecos Bill (why, oh why, did they change the kids' menu at PB anyway? )

I have had the good fortune of having it open each trip. We ate there in August of 2003. It's my favorite counter place in MK.

I really think it should be open all the time. It's a nice alternative to burgers and chicken fingers.

 

[experiment626mom]

It was open on the day we were in MK in June. We have been lucky enough for it to be open every time we've been there. Even New Years Day!!!

 

[cynsaun]

Mmmmm, I want Mexican food.

 

[wendy1974]

I was there May 22nd-26th and it was not open and also there July31st and it was not open either

 

[Fantasmic303]

My sister and I discovered it during our last trip, in December. It was open during our first Magic Kingdom day, on December 29. We had tacos for breakfast and swore we'd return.

When we stopped by to get tacos as our farewell meal on January 2, it was boarded up closed, as if it hadn't been open since 1972.

We were sad.

 

[welovewdw]

it was boarded up closed, as if it hadn't been open since 1972.

yep same here - every trip this year. I thought it was permanent - but apparently, we're just unlucky!! LOL

 

[welovewdw]

Hey lookeee!! I'm a "mousketeer" now!! woohoo!!!

 

[SamRoc]

It was open when we were there in December and April, its our favorite place to eat in Disney,they have the best taco salads. They should have it open all the time.

 

[Poohnatic]

I've been trying off and on, for the past five years to find it open! No luck yet. I want the empanadas!

I'm on a quest (a noble quest, yes) to eat at every restaurant on property. this is the only counter service at MK we haven't had yet, lol.
