Food: Tacos tasting terrible

Authenticity is overshadowed by overpowering spice and unpleasant meat taste at this establishment. Terms like 'stale chips' and 'marinated in urine' describe the 'experience' and the food is anything but fresh, with reviews mentioning it as being 'frozen', 'canned' and even 'bad quality'.

  • Very Creative

    Authentic ingredients, unique buffet style, and fresh, made-to-order dishes.

  • Okay Value

    Overall good value for theme parks; prices reasonable but varied.

  • Bad Taste

    Overpowering spice, unpleasant meat taste, stale chips, marinated in urine.

Vibe: Culture clash confusion

The vibrant ambiance reflecting Mexican themes is clearly well-done, but the actual pleasure of dining is wrecked by intrusive noise from the nearby roller coaster. Adding to this, they seem to prefer emptying your pockets for drinks, as the overpricing and nonhelpful personnel fail to enhance the experience.

  • Great Ambiance

    Vibrant ambiance beautifully reflects Mexican theme with lively, cultural decor.

  • Okay Buzz

    Has plenty of seating and high turnover, which is a definite plus.

  • Bad For Dates

    Loud near roller coaster, diminishing otherwise romantic setting.

Perks: Service smirks, not smiles

Prepare yourself for unprofessional and rude staff, along with slow service. Whether or not you can find a table amidst the crowd is also a gamble. And while the kids may enjoy Disneyland, they may not share the same enthusiasm with their meals here – terms like 'bland', 'dry', 'flavorless', and 'overpriced' have been used to describe them.

  • Great For Groups

    Large portions, great for groups, plenty of seating, and efficient service.

  • Okay For Kids

    Clean and well-decorated, offering both kid-friendly and adult dining options.

  • Hard To Hear

    Kind of loud next to Thunder Railroad, disrupting dining experience.
