San Angel Inn is a table service restaurant in the Mexico pavilion.

History and Description

San Angel Inn opened with the rest of the Mexico pavilion on October 1, 1982 [1]. Located within the pavilion's Mesoamerican pyramid, the restaurant is operated by Palmas Services LLC, who also run Mexico City’s internationally renowned Restaurante San Angel Inn [2].

While dining at San Angel Inn, guests can watch boats go down the Rio del Tiempo, as guests ride The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros (originally El Rio Del Tiempo). Like the rest of the interior of the Mexico pavilion, the San Angel Inn is set in permanent twilight. Nearby sits another Mesoamerican pyramid, as well as a volcano.

Throughout its history San Angel Inn has remained essentially unchanged. In 2011. however, the dining room was refurbished and the eatery received a new menu [3]. As opposed to the round tables that had once populated the dining room, the San Angel Inn received new long tables with tablecloths, as well as new flatware and china that were inspired by the original San Angel Inn in Mexico City [3]. When speaking of the refurbishment President of San Angel Inn, LLC Richard Debler noted:

“We’ve created a restaurant that’s a little quieter, relaxing…a place to chill out from the heat and decompress"[3] .
