Excelent view of the lagoon for the fireworks ! Make reservations , food is good and with authentic Mexican taste. This is not a place for hard tortilla tacos an nachos . This is the real stuff!!!

Jake Smith

A bit pricey , but a very authentic atmosphere and delicious Mexican food . Make sure you get a margarita !

Stefanie V

The short rib dish is incredible, and the guac with poblanos , corn , and pumpkin seed topping is delicious and unique. 8:15 reservation was perfect to watch the fireworks in style.

Michael C

The beef short ribs were pretty inspired, my wife really enjoyed the shrimp tacos . Good food and the staff are lovely. Great place to catch IllumiNations (make sure and request a window table ).

Sofia Papastamelos

Great place to grab margaritas with friends at the end of the day. We split "el mar" a delicious platter of seafood and yummy sides.

John B.

The good: the helado de maiz is incredible. My new favorite desert at WDW. The bad: the salsas . Unless you really like salsa that tastes like sugar and adobo sauce.

Matt Ciliento

Food is awesome. If you don't get the corn soup you are doing a disservice to yourself and your family.

Elizabeth Maria

This place is great! Better than the other one inside the pyramid. Chips and salsa were GREAT. Ordered the short rib and it was sooooo good.

Kelly McCormick

Get some food, margaritas , and a great spot on the lagoon for Illuminations ! (Just don't be that jerk taking up a table and not eating when those with trays of food have no place to go!)

Dana Lancaster

Vegetarians , don't walk away after a look at the meat-heavy menu. Just ask for the vegetarian menu - +1 on the cheese empanadas and veggie tacos !

Darryl Schmitt

The red snapper was delicious. A great view of the fireworks if you can score a waterfront table.

Andy Guinigundo

Great selection of Mexican favorites and wonderful margaritas .

Shannon M

Check times for Illuminations when making reservations and ask for table by a window. The view of Illuminations is amazing!

Danielle

Make a later dinner reservation (8:15-8:30) so you can enjoy Illuminations during your dinner !

Chelsea Adams

Daniel is a wonderful server who did a great job making the meal enjoyable. All of the was amazing. You can go wrong at this restaurant .

Liz Sto

The pork tenderloin dish is perfection. And, as everyone has said, Sergio is totally awesome and adorable!!

Juan Pan

The chorizo and nachos were good and the service was very good. However couldn’t help but feel disappointed with the food.

Jonathan Gierman

The multi-colored chips will make your (ahem) stool green the next day. Don't panic like I did. It's just part of the Disney magic.

David Esrati

The queso with poblanos and chorizo is an awesome appetizer . The hacienda was awesome as well . Nelson was very attentive.

Jolie Carrillo-Allen

Beautiful atmosphere, yummy food and great margaritas ! Im picky about my margarita . ;)

Frank Zolenski

Hands down, the best sit down meal we had in all of Disney.

Jackson Shaw

The braised short rib entree is amazing. All meat, no bones. Tasty!!

Remco Bron

Ask for Christian as a server he is friendly and very attentive. Also get a dish for 2 to share!

Dave Jaworski

La Hacienda meal for two with the chipotle sauce is great! And even the booths can see the Epcot fireworks display .

Astryd Rosa

Everything we had here was top notch! Delicous!

Christine Kasparian Dunn

Sergio is amazing. Very Helpful and very friendly ! The Rosita margarita is AWESOME! Shrimp Tacos are unreal!

Kimberly D

Delicious food and margaritas

Becky Oriente

Try the mango blueberry basil margarita . It's out of this world!

Mariaeugenia Acuna-medina

Best cream corn soup I've had, hands down

JP LaFrance

Make a late (after 8) reservation and comfortably watch Reflections during dinner .

Darren

Try the shrimp tacos . Mix the rice into the taco for extra flavor

Ian

Hit or miss. It was great when it first opened, but sometimes I've had to wait 30+ minutes even with a reservation .

J G

So delicious and a great atmosphere! Get the fajita platter for two.

Tom Brazelton

Got straight-up ignored here standing alone in the entryway with no other distractions when trying to find out if they had any open tables. We gave up and left!

Rob B

Good food with major attitude. Don't bring a stroller due to fire hazard. ...unless your baby is asleep. That makes it ok

Marcos Calicchio Vianna

If you don't like tequila , ask for a piña colada .

Mariano O'Kon

Great food but i don't recommend to try to watch Illuminationa from here. You loose too much.

ᴡ Abramson

Pescado is amazing! Also ask for an expression Margarita . Not on menu but they still prepare. Really tasty treat.

Andy Wildey

Black bean soup is to die for!! Definitely coming back for that

David Landis

Carne Asada is delicious!

Anna Crofoot

Sergio is definitely the best waitor! Just remember, they are only here for a year!!

Dave G

Best Mexican Food that I have had in a while. Get the La Hacienda for two...

Kelly Carew

It sounds a bit weird, but the Avocado Margarita is the best margarita I've ever had.

Janessa Barbian

The empanada de manzana was to die for!!

cailin mccleary-sills

Ask for daniel he's really cute , super nice, and makes the dining experience really enjoyable!

Mo Dag

Location is ok, place is packed, a bit noisy . Food selection is limited. Window seating is preferable.

Vanessa I

Upon request, the bartender will make the most delicious skinny margarita you've ever had.

Didi Marie

You have to ask for the Margarita Flight .

Kristen L

Get a reservation for after 7 so you can see the fireworks at 9!

Kathrin Havrilla

It's not on the menu , but the margarita flight gives you a chance to try five of the house flavors.
