San Angel or Kouzzina

[aenelson]

The reason I am asking is my family is from Greece, and so I have very high expectations from Greek food, so I do not want to go to Kouzzina and be disappointed. Now I have never been to San Angel either, but I really like the theme. I have to be careful with Mexican food though, so I would need just regular tacos, or enchiladas. Which would you recommend?

I have never been to Kouzzina but I have never heard a good review of it, most people on the boards dislike it quite a bit. My friend went there last year and I asked her about it just the other day, her words were....


"it was really bad, really... we literally had to leave the food and go grab something else."


I would look around for reviews of San Angel too, I've heard not much better of it.


Why, may I ask, did you choose those two?

For me Kouzzinna was one of the few bright spots in Disney dinning.
They actually have some unusual (for Disney) items on the menu, like the whole fish.

It does get mixed reviews, but so does everywhere.
A lot may have to do with people that have not had Greek foods before.
That being said some Greeks love it and others complain it is not real Greek food.

As for San Angel Inn if you are looking for tacos or enchiladas, this is not the place.
Take a look at the menu on line. You might be OK with some of the appetizers.
The food has been very bad for the last few years IMO, but there have been changes over the last year and it may be much better.

I'd pick Kouzzinna, for me it is one of the very few Disney locations I would pay OOP for.

I would go with the San Angel Inn..its pure disney..great atmosphere great margaritas..since your family is greek you can have greek food anytime..but how often can you eat in a restaurant where it feels like nighttime even though its 3pm outside?!

I chose these two because I am looking for an Epcot dinner. I already have Coral Reef, Rose and Crown, Les Chefs, Biergarten, and Le cellier, so I am looking for a different kind of place....

Have you considered Via Napoli or Tutu Italia?

 

[aenelson]

Are they both Italian? Are either any good?

I would go with SAN ANGEL INN. I am a big fan. I love Mexican food and margaritas and the atmosphere there. There are several bad reviews out there on San Angel, but I've had a wonderful experience there 3 times now.

I was NOT impressed with Kouzzina. It took forever to get our food--I'm talking 60-70 mins. Also, we were very underwhelmed with the taste/quality. We have an excellent Greek restaurant in our town. We were expecting something even better from a Disney greek restaurant. Instead, we were each wishing we were back home at Anna's Greek restraurant.

They are both Italian, yes. Via Napoli is brand new, having just opened a few weeks ago, but I have heard great things. Tutu is an old favorite.
