Kevin: Please, Please, Please do a new San Angels review

[hookedonears]

As everyone knows, San Angels food quality has continually gone south over the past 12 years, and 4 years ago, we finally had to say enough was enough. We haven't been back, though will be heading to the world again this coming April, and would love to try it again. I hope Kevin can fit San Angels into his schedule between now and then. Being Mexican food lovers, we'd love to go back, if Kevin would give it at least a half a thumbs up.

Oh, Kevin, do it just because it will make for a funny review. Like John says... "[comedy] is easy when you've got good material".

This was such garbage the last time we ate there, such a shame because I love the location, I did love the ride, the new one is not my fave, another topic! Kevin go,please!

 

[WLfan]

Kevin, I'd LOVE it if you went there! We also used to go, but finally took it off our rotation because the food was not great. It is a real shame because the atmosphere almost makes the bad food worth it. Imagine if the food was good ...

The same is true for Rose and Crown. It has a great location for Illuminations, but every time we go back the food just gets worse and worse. We just went in August and it was terrible.

AHHH you guys are scaring me, we are going to San Angel Inn on our trip

must say I've never heard of San Angels?

If only San Angel Inn food was as good as the atmosphere! Wouldn't that be wonderful! I agree with some others; the wonderful atmosphere is almost worth the so-so food. A dining review would be interesting! Kevin, whatcha think? Could be interesting.

You may simply be having a moment! Sit at the Mexican Pavillion Tequila Bar and rest a spell. Then don't go near their restaurant!

The food was just okay when we went during Labor Day weekend (walk-in). They use Tositos and a jar salsa. The enchilida and chilaquiles sides should had been warmer (my home version and our favorite resteraunt home are a lot better/cheaper). We both chose steaks and they were almost overcooked and not much seasoning. The desserts were okay. We had pretty good server and drinks were keept filled. We did not leave the place hungry.

The atmosphere was okay, but I had to use the camera to read the menu and to see if we had our correct entrees. We will not be back for a long time for a meal, but maybe to enjoy an adult beverage and a appetizer and/or dessert.

$5 guacamole (not included on DDP)

no dessert pictures because dh ate too much of it before the camera had a chance

We ate there in Jan. Awful. But I don't remember the tequila bar. Where is it located? We're going back to WDW in Nov. and I would love to sit and sip without bothering with the food

having asked this question before, and had it answered... they don't pick where to review based on what would make for a funny review. Though it may not seem like it, there is a rhythm and reason for places that get picked, new places, chef changes, menu changes... I don't recall the exact numbers, but I think there are more than a few places on property that havn't been reviewed yet, let alone reviewed twice (notable exceptions for places that got follow up reviews because of outside influences).

Some restaurants you already know what to expect, and there have not been significant enough changes to warrant re-examination.

Well, it is the coolest looking restaurant. It is in the Mexico Pavillion in Epcot. A part of it overlooks the boat ride. Much of it overlooks the marketplace. You really do feel like you are seated at a restaurant, out on a veranda, under the stars, overlooking some corner in Mexico.

I haven't eaten there since I was twelve or fourteen. I don't remember liking the food, but I didn't like much other than cheeseburgers at that time.

 

[SamIAm21]

I asked them to do this a few months ago and everyone just laughed in their posts. I guess it must be really bad????

 

[mulderxcoltrane]

The two times we've (or family) have eaten there - the food was dry. You know what it tastes like when you cook a burger too long on the grill and there's .00012% moisture left - it's like that....only $20-25 per person.

I don't care fro San Angel..... It is too dark and I like to be able to see exactly what I am eating and I could not! I LOVE authentic Mexican food but the food there was blah!

I have to say that I am OVER THE MOON that I finally got to answer one of your questions since you have answered about 100 of mine.

As was said on the last Podcast, there is no doubt that their opinions really do carry alot of weight with Disney, and there is no restaurant I'd rather see improve and become a signature restaurant at EPCOT.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I can honestly say this is the one restaurant in WDW we would never return to -- even if it was free! (What does that tell you?)

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

We ate there in 2006 and I was kind of scared about it because of the reviews. We actually enjoyed it. Was it out of this world? No, but it was OK and we are returning on the next trip.
