Pecos Bill's Children's Portion Sizes?

[DisneyDreamers3]

I really love Pecos Bill's menu, especially the fajita's, but good golly it's just too much food for one person. Does anyone know if you can order a children's portion size of an adult entree?

Thanks in advance!

No, you cannot. And the Pecos Bill's children's menu is terrible.

I mean, how hard is it to do a kid-size nachos?! Or a small taco thing. I mean, Chipotle shows how easily it's done. But noooOOOooo. It's Uncrustables, Mac and Cheese or Corn Dogs.

My solution is usually to have my kids share an entree. Perhaps you have a friend to share with? Sharing is good!

Thanks, but what a bummer Unfortunately, my DH does not like Mexican, he always eats at CHH, and my little guy has not learned to love mexican food yet. I was really hoping that they would offer a smaller size portion so I could get my Pecos Bill fix without having to throw 2/3 of the food away

I seriously side-eye the PB children's menu, because it would just be so easy to do children's platters. It's almost like they're MAKING work.

Yeah, it would be so easy!!! I guess I should be glad that I can now get 20% with my AP discount- I won't feel quite as bad throwing food away spending less money

Just wanted to chime in that yup, their children's menu is ridic. We were on the dining plan so just got DS 5 the regular nachos but yes, there was a lot of wasted food

I can rant all day about menus like this. Some things are really easy to scale down. This is what a number of quick service places in the real world do. The difference between an adult fajita platter and a child fajita platter is volume. Ditto nachos or tacos, as can be seen by the Poly Oasis Pool menu - the "grilled sustainable fish taco" is on both the adult and child menu, but the adult gets more than one taco, and they offer different sides. (Same is true of the Maui burger -- it's a matter of patty size, but same toppings. Would be easy to do for that Taco Burger at PB.)

My kids were both born at least 50% taco by volume, as especially with one of them it was one of the foods that got me through morning sickness. Tacos were always good, and they're nutritionally solid (guac! meat! cheese!). If the theory that what you eat in pregnancy influences child taste is true, it explains why my kids feel that salsa bars are like an all-you-can-drink venue.
