Mike and I decided to try out our Quick and Casual vouchers again, this time sharing a meal at Pecos Bills. We had had a great meal here previously, both of us having the chicken wraps with the great toppings bar. This time we went into Pecos Bills around lunch time, which can be a mistake while at the Magic Kingdom. Heaven forbid actually being able to eat lunch at lunch time, because thats when the rest of the park wants to eat, as well! We first studied the menu before we got into line, and chose an entrée that didnt have a side so we wouldnt have to waste time asking questions. We waited in line, and at the cashier asked for the Kit Carson chicken salad ($6.39), the side of chili cheese fries ($3.29), the chocolate cream pie ($3.49), and a large diet Coke with no ice ($2.29). The cashier was extremely quick, his hands moved so fast over the computer screen that they were a blur. He was amazing! The only sour note was that the people behind us were talking about sharing a cheeseburger, and I mentioned to them that they could order a second bun and make two cheeseburgers with it. The husband just grunted at me, but then did exactly that when he ordered their meal. A thanks would have been nice!
Our food was brought to the front counter quickly and correctly, and we moved over to the condiment stand. There were a lot of people at the stand, but the condiments were refilled quickly and efficiently. At the stand there are sautéed mushrooms, sautéed onions, cheese sauce, relish, tomatoes, lettuce, raw onions, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. There were also napkins, straws, and plasticware. We piled on the onions, mushrooms, and extra cheese sauce on top of the fries, which is what you see in the pictures (or could, if the pictures werent so blurry). We also picked up some extra veggies for the side. You can easily make a vegetarian meal out of just the condiment bar!
We wandered around trying to find an empty seat, and settled in the back room. This is where we had eaten previously, and this time it was nearly full. When its quiet, I love the atmosphere. The back seating room is set up like an indoor courtyard, and has windows with flower boxes and other old west decorations. When its busy like it was this time, you can barely notice the themeing. I would suggest trying for a later lunch here, maybe around 2-3 PM, to appreciate the cool, quiet indoors.
The Kit Carson chicken salad contained grilled chicken, lettuce, carrots, jicama slaw, I believe shredded cabbage, cheese, and a sweet vinaigrette. The salad was a chopped salad, except for the chicken, which means that all of the ingredients are combined and finely chopped. I like salads this way because its easier to include all of the ingredients in one bite. The chicken was in strips, laid on top. The dressing was not to my liking; it was too sweet and there was way too much of it. After we finished the salad, there was a large pool of dressing at the bottom. The chicken also had some fatty pieces in it. I didnt enjoy the salad, and wouldnt order it again. The chili cheese fries were basic chili cheese fries. Nothing outstanding, but good nonetheless. The toppings bar made the fries a larger dish, and they were great with the addition of onions and mushrooms. The pie was also basic chocolate cream pie. There were curls of white and milk chocolate on top, though, which I liked for presentation. It was good, but we wouldnt have ordered it without the use of the voucher.
Even though it was during the rush of lunch, the cast members were quick and efficient. There was still seating available even though the restaurant was packed, you just have to look a little bit. I recommend it for a later lunch, as Ive said before. Another benefit of this restaurant is that theyll substitute small baggies of baby carrots for the French fries. A welcome addition to fast food menus! Next time, Mike and I will split a chicken wrap with additional toppings. We really enjoy this counter service restaurant and will return when we want a quick, healthy meal.
