La Hacienda de San Angel


Updated 6/16/22
For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the  Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide.

Located on the water side of the World Showcase promenade of Epcot’s Mexico pavilion, La Hacienda de San Angel is a great dining location for those who crave authentic Mexican cuisine with an emphasis on Old World hospitality. 

There are a handful of ways to get to Epcot and the Mexico Pavilion! A favorite of many is to enter from the International Gateway at the back of Epcot---by either staying at the Boardwalk area hotels or by traveling via the Disney Skyliner to enter at the back of the park. From there, you can take a left through the UK Pavilion and you will head past the Canada Pavilion and Showcase Plaza and arrive at your destination. If you are utilizing the traditional bus system, you will arrive at the front of Epcot’s entry gates and take about a 20 minute walk to the Epcot's World Showcase area. You will head to the left once you enter the World Showcase and arrive at La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion.

The restaurant is made up of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking World Showcase Lagoon. The decor of the restaurant is designed to allow guests to focus on the view outside instead of on the restaurant’s interior. The restaurant is decorated with neutral walls, rich colored fabrics in modern stripes, dark wood throughout, and beautiful 3D star light fixtures. The restaurant is sophisticated and has a modern take on the Mexican decor.

La Hacienda de San Angel is open daily for dinner from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. You will need a valid theme park admission to dine and reservations are highly recommended. It is family-friendly and theme park attire is welcomed. La Hacienda de San Angel participates in the Disney Dining Plan and requires 1 table-service credit (As a reminder, Disney currently is not offering Dining Plan). If you are paying out of pocket, you can expect to spend $25-$45 per person on entrees.

As with all dining locations within parks, park admission is required in order to dine. Reservations are recommended, which in the world of Disney really means required. It is nearly impossible to walk up to dine at this location without one. Dining reservations can be made 60 days prior to travel.

The menu at La Hacienda de San Angel offers plenty of authentic Mexican dishes like Carne Asada, Pollo Poblano, Chile Relleno, and Farrillada del Mar (serves two adults). There are handcrafted margaritas, Mexican beer, South American wines, premium tequilas, and more to go along with your meal. Be sure to save room for dessert with delicious options like the Chocolate "Fiesta" Pyramid, Tres Leches, or Pastel de Chocolate. The restaurant also offers a children’s menu with plenty of offerings.

My family has dined at La Hacienda de San Angel many times over the years. It is a delightful dining experience when visiting Epcot. For an appetizer, I recommend Queso Fundido or the house-made guacamole. When it comes to entrées, the Alambre de Res and Carne Asada have been delicious options. We enjoy the opportunity to dine inside the theme park at a restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, and a friendly waitstaff. We also treasure the opportunity to step away from the theme park crowds, rest for a bit, and prepare to conquer the remainder of the day!

If you are looking to discover vibrant flavors from regions around Mexico as you dine under colorful globe lamps and star lanterns, head off to La Hacienda de San Angel!

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. And o
