My party of 2 spent $105 at San Angel Inn Restaurante in Disney World, and it's now one of my favorite spots in Epcot

San Angel Inn Restaurante is a table-service dining spot in Epcot's World Showcase, a section of Disney World with numerous country-themed pavilions.

This restaurant is in the Mexico Pavilion, which is the first one on the left when you enter from Epcot's main entrance. It's unique because it's tucked inside a 36-foot-tall pyramid that was modeled after a 17th-century hacienda near Mayan ruins.

There's also another table-service restaurant in the Mexico Pavilion called La Hacienda de San Angel. However, it's right on the water of the World Showcase Lagoon, not inside the pyramid.

Although we were on time for our reservation, we still had to wait about five minutes before the host escorted us to our table.

I didn't mind the wait, as we used the extra few minutes to walk around the pyramid's marketplace and look at the beautiful artwork and glassware.

Not only are the dining tables inside the pyramid, but also they're situated across from the Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros, an attraction that involves a boat ride through the Mexico Pavilion.

Although San Angel Inn Restaurante was candlelit and very dim, I was still able to take some nice photos using flash.

I don't know much about Mexican cuisine beyond the basics, so it was great to have a server who was knowledgeable about the dishes, ingredients, and spice levels.

When we asked several questions about the menu, I was grateful that they were kind and understanding.

The server's costume was also very colorful and matched the pavilion's theme, which was a nice touch.

Guacamole is one of my favorite dips, so I knew I had to order it when I saw it listed in the menu's appetizer section.

However, I'd never tasted guacamole quite like this one. It was topped with mango and toasted pumpkin seeds.

The guacamole was served with chicharrones, which are fried pork belly or pork rinds, and topped with Salsa Valentina, a Mexican hot sauce.

It was my first time having chicharrones, and they were delicious. Although the salsa was a bit spicier than the sauces I normally enjoy, it complemented the dish very well.

For my entrée, I ordered chicken enchiladas with plantains.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dish, as the plantains' sweetness paired perfectly with the chicken's savory flavor.

I typically am not the biggest fan of dishes with fish. However, the fish tacos my sister ordered looked really flavorful, so I tried them.

Although I was glad I didn't order the tacos as my entrée, I was happy I took a bite of them. They were good and definitely a wonderful option for people who love fish.

Tres leches cake, a sponge cake soaked in milk and topped with cream, has become my new favorite dessert.

So, I was quick to order the tres leches de horchata — a variation of the dessert that incorporated horchata, a sweet Mexican beverage — after seeing it on the menu.

Although this cake was good, it was topped with sweet-corn ice cream and toasted almonds, making it more savory than I expected.

I prefer the one served at Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Villa del Lago, which is located in Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It was sweeter and came with compressed pineapple and marshmallows.

Because the restaurant is situated inside the pyramid, the space got quite loud at points.

We heard other guests shopping in the marketplace, grabbing drinks, and chatting as they waited in line for the Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros.

Additionally, the tables were situated so close together that I could hear the conversations happening at tables around me, which was a bit disturbing at times.

However, it was really unique that the restaurant felt like part of the Gran Fiesta Tour, and we could even periodically watch boats pass by.

For two adults, the bill came out to $86.27 after I factored in my 10% annual passholder discount. Once I added in the tip, it was $103.52.

Although I normally eat at more affordable, quick-service restaurants to save money, it was nice to experience this unique restaurant at Epcot. It may be my favorite table-service restaurant in the entire theme park.

If you're looking to treat yourself to a themed dining experience at Epcot, a meal at San Angel Inn Restaurante is a great choice.
