La Hacienda at the Mexico Pavilion

One thing that definitely has me wishing I lived in Orlando: the restaurants at Disney World. I’m sure I’m biased, thinking that Disney’s magic would also somehow carry over to its culinary experiences, but whenever I hear about all the restaurants at Disney World I practically salivate. Mine is the unfortunate story of a girl who loves new and exotic food experiences (I wouldn’t say I’m a foodie, because I’m not particularly bothered about how fancy the food is) but doesn’t love urban life.

The Future World or … Continue reading

Epcot Restaurant Review: San Angel Inn

Nestled within Epcot’s Mexico pavilion is, perhaps, one of the most unique Mexican themed restaurants you’ll probably ever find. Housed inside a replica of an ancient Aztec temple, not only does the San Angel Inn fully immerse you in the lore of Mexico’s past, it also has a wide array of dishes on its menu. As you choose from entrees such as Mahi-Mahi a la Veracruzana or Punta de Filete, you and your party can sit “under the stars” of a sky that is always just on the verge of a storm as fires burn from a faux Aztec temple … Continue reading
