Re: Mexico....
Really nice location and substandard food for the price. We have a pretty good Mexican place near us and the food is way better than San Angel. It does have one of the best views though, Id do it for lunch and save a few bucks as it was always night inside.

Re: Mexico....
The atmosphere is amazing - but the food doesn't live up to it - and I think it's gotten worse since the DDP - which really takes the biscuit.

Oh, and not trying to hijack this thread... But this seemed like a good time to ask. Has that tequila bar opened in Mexico yet?

Re: Mexico....
We ate at San Angel once about 3 yrs. ago... the food was very good. Loved the atmosphere. However, not hearing good reports lately. Do the ride though for sure. Oh.. and we did eat at the outdoor Cantina for lunch.. it was pretty good and the Churro's were awesome.

Re: Mexico....
I ate at the San Angel last year and the food was OK and could have been better, but the atmosphere was great, I loved it. I'd go again. I think you'll have a great time

Re: Mexico....
The restaurant is called San Angel Inn and the ride that goes thru the restaurant is (or used to be called) El Rio del Tiempo.
We ate there last November and thought it was pretty good. I had a good steak, the chips and salsa were ok, and I loved the flan. We are not doing it again this year, but we have done it several times in the past, and don't regret it.

Re: Mexico....
Ariel,
You don't have to eat at the restaurant to enjoy the atmosphere, since the gift shop is in the same big open room as the restaurant... the dining tables are right next to the shop display tables! So, we always just go into the gift shop, check out the big room, take a quick boat ride, and then... head outside to the Cantina for a Mexican platter and a big margarita!!! The kids love the watermelon juice, and the view of the lagoon is incredible. Great spot for fireworks!

Re: Mexico....
From what I've been reading, they are doing renovations to San Angel, adding the tequila bar, and I believe the menu is also slated for revision.
But we don't care much for Mexican food, so we always pass by.

Re: Mexico....
The last time we ate there was in August '04. Pretty good food. The kids LOVED watching all the riders in the boats go by and watching the volcano puff. It is VERY dark. Almost can't see your food!
