/* The Mesoamerican Pyramid */
On November 12, 2017, [[Choza de Margarita]] opened in the Mexico pavilion <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/choza-tequila/news/13nov2017-choza-de-margarita-now-open-at-epcots-mexico-pavilion.htm </ref>. The outdoor margarita stand replaces the former stand that was removed during the expansion of the [[Norway]] pavilion in 2015/2016.
 
==Layout==
The Mexico pavilion is divided up into two main sections. On the lagoon side of the World Showcase Promenade, guests can find the counter service restaurant, [[La Cantina de San Angel]], and the table service [[La Hacienda de Sa Angel]], which are housed in the same structure. Nearby, the pavilion's signature band, Mariachi Cobra can also be seen performing. This outdoor section of the pavilion is also home to [[Choza de Margarita]].
 
Across World Showcase Promenade, guests can see the pavilion's main point of interest- a large Mesoamerican pyramid. Inside the pavilion, guests find themselves in the Plaza del los Amigos, which is designed to resemble Mexican village, based on Taxco de Alarcón, at twilight. In the Plaza del los Amigos, guests can find a series of shops, collectively known as the Festival Marketplace. Here, guests can visit La Tienda Encantada which sells clothing and other accessories, and La Princesa de Cristal, an Arribas Brother's crystal shop amongst other stands.
 
Behind the plaza, guests can board the Mexico pavilions only attraction- the [[Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros]]. Located on El Rio del Tiempo (the River of Time), this attraction takes guests on boat trip, as they help Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles search Mexico for Donald Duck. Next to the attraction, located on the shores of El Rio del Tiempo, guests can dine at the [[San Angel Inn]]. With another Mesoamerican pyramid looming in the distance, guests can enjoy a full service meal, set in eternal twilight, as they watch the Gran Fiesta Tour boats pass by.
