Margaritas! Cocktail time at Walt Disney World’s newest restaurant
La Hacienda de San Angel, EPCOT’s newest table service restaurant, is now in soft opening at Walt Disney World.
I was invited to the grand opening celebration last week, where I got to sample the food at Hacienda de San Angel and take a look at the new Mexican restaurant’s decor.
But I was especially excited to try out the restaurant’s margaritas. CajunMama has written before about the many places to find alcohol at Walt Disney World, and this new restaurant is a great addition to that list.
Hacienda de San Angel has a “tequila ambassador” on staff to tell you about q7 premium tequilas available. There’s also a tequila flight to try if you’re interested in sampling.
The premium, handcrafted margaritas come in six flavors at La Hacienda de San Angel:
The classic margarita was probably the best version of a margarita I have ever had. It’s made with El Mayor premium silver tequila, with orange, lime and agave flavors.
I also tried the Mango Blueberry Basil margarita, which is mixed with the same tequila, as well as coconut rum and orange juice. This one was very tasty, but there is a lot going on here. The basil flavor got lost in all the fruit.
The Rosita margarita was my favorite. It is made with rose syrup, orange liqueur and fresh lime. There were fresh rose petals in the drink – so festive!
I did not taste the remaining three margaritas, but they sound just as interesting:
- Lime raspberry, with those flavors as well as agave nectar and orange liqueur.
- Orange mango fire, with ginger and Tabasco.
- Coffee, with Kahlua, Mezcal and ice cream.
If tequila isn’t your thing, there’s a nice wine list at La Hacienda de San Angel, too, with all the wines coming from South America.
La Hacienda de San Angel is taking reservations starting Oct. 15. The new Mexican restaurant overlooks the World Showcase lagoon, making it a great place to watch the Illuminations fireworks show each evening at EPCOT.
