Who: The Golden family - Mom, 45, the birthday girl; DS 21; DD 16; DS 10

Where: San Angel Inn Restaurant, Mexico, Epcot

When: May 11, 2008

What: Lunch - Dinner - a chicken/chorizo/rice dish, a steak/plantain/black bean dish, a beef tips/black beans/rice dish, a kid's chicken dish

Approximate Price of Entrees: My children paid for the meal as a birthday present, but I bet it was $100+ including tip and 3 Margaritas (I had 1, son had 2)

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 4
Atmosphere: 10++++
Okay for Children: Yes - lots to look at
Okay for Couples: YES - very romantic setting
Be sure to try: My daughter ordered the steak with the plantains and black beans, and it was out of this world! Our server called it "the best of the house", and it was! I would go back to have a whole serving of that to myself!

General tips: We have eaten here before and were unimpressed with the food, the service, and the table arrangement - crowded. The last time we were here we were seated along the side where there is continuous bench seating on one side of the tables and chairs on the other side, and it was miserable. It was like sitting WITH the families on each side of you - no privacy at all. This time the hostess said, "For your birthday, would you like" and I interrupted her (because by now I knew to expect a free dessert, and didn't really want one) and said, "For my birthday I would like a really good table!" We were seated at a table in almost the center of the dining room, and it was so much better! Next time I would refuse if we were offered the communal dining option and wait for a real table and chairs.

MouseForLess Tip: I don't have a DDE card yet, but it is accepted here.

Extra Comments: I have always loved this restaurant; the setting is so beautiful! I'm glad I can brag on the food again.

Who: Skamarakas Family - Jim, Anna, Brighid (12), Eilis (2), Grandmom and PopPop

Where: San Angel Inn, Mexico, EPCOT

When: November 1, 2003

What: Lunch - 2 Plato Nacional orders, 2 Carne Asada orders, and Jim had the chef's special which was stuffed poblano peppers flavored with fruit and pomagranate juice. Eilis had the children's quesedilla.

Approximate Price of Entrees: We had a cast member holiday coupon good for 50% off, but without the discount, the meal was about $99 for all of us

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 3
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Yes - although our server was quite slow, so we waited a long time for everything - including the starter chips and salsa. Both girls were hungry, so fidgety, but the baby started to fall asleep, and I had to wake her when her meal arrived.
Okay for Couples: Definitely - I think the atmosphere, although a little loud today, is absolutely the most romantic at EPCOT
Be sure to try: Jim thought his meal was fabulous - it had so many flavors! There was sweetness from the fruit, the heat of the peppers, and there was even a few crunchy pomagranate seeds.

General tips: We went right at lunch time and were seated right away, although they had no tables directly overlooking the water. You could request a table there for an even more romantic meal.

Dollarless tips: The portions here are quite large, and you get chips and salsa with your meal - which we all tend to chow down on. Brighid and I could have easily shared our meal - she barely ate half of her platter after noshing on the chips. And Grandmom and Pop would have done better to share their's as well - although they seemed to eat the same things and leave the same things.

Extra Comments: The restaurant was virtually half empty, but our service was extremely slow. We were seated immediately, then waited nearly 10 minutes before our drink orders were taken. This meal ate away an hour and a half of our day at EPCOT, and if you only plan on spending one day here, that's a lot of time for lunch.
