Epcot Food/Wine: Chilaquiles in Mexico

October 23, 2007  |  Food  | 

Mexico is one of the first countries you’ll encounter in the World Showcase at Epcot (if you go clockwise). Even when it’s not the Food and Wine Festival, they always have good churros and margaritas in Mexico (that’s right, you can imbibe at Epcot). For your first lap around the world, grab a drink – it will cool you off, and make the next 1.2 miles seem like a short stroll around the block. Reward yourself with a crispy, cinnamony churro for completing the first lap, and to prepare for the second.

We got Chilaquiles and Quesadillas while in Mexico. They were a’ight. The quesadillas were nothing surprising – good, not gross, it was just ok. The Chilaquiles were a little better.

Chilaquiles are basically chicken and cheese baked (I think) inside a tortilla. There was some green sauce on top and they served it with a dollop of sour cream. It tasted a little like turkey and dressing to me.

  1. was this outside mexico, or in the cool restaurant? i like the cheesy ride inside mexico, too…

  2. This was in Mexico, but outside the building. All of the stalls for the festival were outside. I’ve eaten at that restaurant in Mexico. I love the vibe – the dark blue “night sky” (ceiling), the “volcano” in distance. I used to really love the ride too, but they changed it! Now, it’s the three Cabaleros (with Donald Duck) or some crap like that. I loved the old ride with the cliff divers and hagglers in the market trying to get us to buy their crap.

    Now, Donald is diving off the cliff and the market has been replaced by those cartoons. Total bummer. Completely reinforces my love for Maelstrom!

  3. only a b+? i think these were the toast of the festival this year! (this was my 3rd wine and food festival). absolutely loved em!

  4. I think I just have really high standards, and maybe higher expectations. They were good, and I’d probably eat them again, but A’s have to make my eyes roll back in my head. bk

  5. Hello, I found your blog in a new directory of blogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day.
