Ranking the Best Mexican Restaurants at Disney World

Sometimes, you just need some good, cheesy carbs in the form of Mexican food.

Queso for the Win

At Disney World, there are quite a few options if you’re hoping to indulge in the deliciousness that is a table loaded with tortillas, guacamole, queso, and of course — margaritas. It can be hard to choose between each of the Mexican restaurants available on Disney World property, so we’ve done the hard part. (Trying all sorts of Mexican restaurants was just SO exhausting. 😉 ) We’re here to share our rankings and a brief review of each of the BEST Mexican restaurants in Disney World!

Each of the featured restaurants in this post can be found at EPCOT, Disney Springs, or Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Let’s eat!

1. La Cantina de San Angel

Located on EPCOT’s World Showcase Lagoon, this quick service restaurant offers a variety of grab-and-go Mexican dishes, like nachos, an Arroz con Pollo bowl, and even a churro sundae.

If you’re looking for a quick meal that you can enjoy while walking around the park, then La Cantina de San Angel is for you!

2. La Hacienda de San Angel

This is the table service counterpart to La Cantina de San Angel! Here, you can sit down and enjoy a menu full of Mexican dishes, like skillets, tacos, and a variety of margaritas.

Last time we were here, we loved the Tostada de Pollo and the Cucumber Margarita.

Also located in Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is El Mercado de Coronado, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The food here has been okay in the past, but there are some American options for those of you who have picky eaters!

BONUS! Lounge Edition! La Cava del Tequila

Located at EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion, you’ll find this lounge that offers lots of margaritas and even some small plates.

We love the Oaxacan Mule here!

BONUS! Mexican-Featured! Paradiso 37 

Located in Disney Springs, this Latin-inspired restaurant offers flavors from the Americas.

P37 Dip Trio

There are a few Mexican-inspired dishes here, and we love the melted cheese, of course. We also like the Honolulu Pulled Pork Sandwich! Not Mexican, but still good.

Bonus! Mexican-Fusion Edition! Three Bridges Bar and Grill

Located at Disney’s Coronado Springs, you’ll be able to find this restaurant serving up Mexican-fusion cuisine.

Three Bridges

This restaurant has some great upscale Mexican bar food and some yummy margs. 

And there you have it! If you love Mexican food, we’re sure that none of these restaurants will disappoint. Keep in mind that restaurants like Jaleo, Toledo, Barcelona Lounge, and Dahlia Lounge are all Spanish influenced, so though we recommend you try them all, they don’t quite fit into our Mexican restaurant rankings. And as much as we love the walking taco from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Cafe in Magic Kingdom, that’s really more like Tex-Mex.

We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney news and reviews as we have them, so make sure to follow along for more. Until next time!
