Positive aspects of the product (pros): The best venue in Disney World Hands Down, If you are traveling with kids the ride is a must Cons: Need More Salsa
We have eaten at San Angel Inn almost ever trip we go to Disney World. The setting inside is the most awesome place in on the entire Disney property. When you walk in you are instantly transported to an beautiful evening in a Mexico Village. It is so realistic (a couple of margairtas and you may be trying to figure out how your plane landed in Mexico not Orlando, LOL, but you feel that you could really be there.
If you are looking for a romantic place to have a dinner with a special someone, or looking for a place to relax after a hectic day in the park this is the place. Also if you are traveling with kids that can't stand to wait more than a second for anything having the ride in the building is great because you can take them on it over and over if you have to wait. (and if you get stuck on the ride for a few minutes once your pager goes off the wait staff more than understands and holds the table for you)
When you sit down they give you chips and salsa ( the cups are a little to small for me but the salsa and chips are fresh). The menu is very good, some of the items sound a little strange but I literally think I have at least had a bite of almost everything and never found one I don't like.
The Sopa Azteca is great i love it.
Mahi-Mahi Veracruz Very Good
Margaritas Are Great Too.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Amazing Food, Good Service, Great Atmosphere Cons: maybe a little crowded? desserts, not brilliant.
our whole famaly loved this place, it's the first time we've ever eaten here. We got tables right next to the fencing that overlooks the little boat ride, which was lovely 
. they brought out salsa and chips to our table whilst we decided what we wanted.My Mum and my Brother both had the Mole Poblano, which they both loved. My sister and I had the Pollo a las Rajas, which was to die for, I ended up eating what Sasha left because she'd piged out on the chips and salsa. As the Desserts change often, i think we might just have been a bit unlucky. Everything was made with white chocolate, which i despise, :/ so not so good for us on the dessert front, but thats just because we're picky.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): theme, atmosphere Cons: price, uninspired food, especially the sides
ur third time dining here. We were a group of 11.
The San Angel Inn is by far the most atmospheric and engaging pavilion dining available at EPCOT. The tables are a bit cluttered, but if you end up in a booth or at a long table, it's without a doubt one of the coolest and niftiest places to eat in all the parks.
We've been three times in the last three years and service has always been polite, but never warm or outstanding. The reason is that the servers don't always have the best English and a mariachi band is playing nearby. So bear in mind: you WILL have to repeat yourself from time to time.
The Inn's food gets a lot of bad press, not all of it deserved. The menu is (I can only guess) pretty authentic Mexican. It's certainly not Tex Mex. The flavours in use are pretty grown-up and subtle; NOT the ultra-sweet, ultra-salty "pop Mexican" a lot of North Americans are used to.
From what I've personally observed of many neighbouring tables over the years, it's easily one of the least kid-friendly restaurants in the parks . Entrees are typically sauce-heavy and range from innocuously to fairly heavily seasoned. The sides are really uninspired, but then, it's Mexico, so, y'know, rice. In our parties, fish dinners have been better received than chicken or beef.
Avoid the dense bread pudding if you've had a large entree. It tastes good, but you won't feel like getting up any time soon.
For the price, the Inn's cuisine is a little too far from inspired--that's about the most damning thing to be said. There's little here for the foodie and nothing for the pop Tex Mex fan.
Still, the Inn's worth a visit, at least once, especially if you're on the dining plan and can shrug off the overpriced entrees. If they ever revamped their menu, this place would be the hit of the Showcase restaurants.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Decor, Mexico, Food, Service Cons: None
Dec. 2010 -- The service here was great! And we enjoyed how the theme ties in with the rest of the Mexico attractions. Be sure to ride the 3 Caballeros boat ride and look for Donald Duck. The restaurant overlooks part of the boat ride. We enjoyed all our food. Have a magarita too!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Service was good and friendly, nice atmosphere Cons: food was marginal at best
Food quality was pretty poor for the 6 of us - one kid under 10. The drinks were good and the Tequila bar a nice touch too. Could have eaten better food for 1/2 the price. The server was excellent - an older gentleman with lots of personality.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful Cons:
The restaurant is beautiful! Try and sit along the water, as it is a wonderful view! We had the most amazing waitress named Ana. She was full of life, and always made sure our drinks were filled, and service was prompt. The food itself was OK, but I would go back simply for the experience!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great attmosphere, great food Cons: crowded, food not for finiky kids (or adults!)
If you're looking for Tex-Mex or Mexican fast food, go to a chain restaurant like Chili's or Taco Bell. The food here is definitely for a more adventurous(perhaps sophisicated) palate. I don't know if the food is "authentic" Mexican food or not. I'm from New England where Mexican restaurants are hard to find and those we do have tend to be along the Taco Bell line with a little up-grading. Hey! It's what people want and expect from a Mexican restaurant. All I can say is, the food is wonderful, especially the Pollo a las Rajas...SO good! And not spicy (ie. hot). This is my family's all-time favorite restaurant at EPCOT and we eat there every time we're in Florida. The food is excellent with complex flavors. Maybe spiced (not necessarily hot)food is not your thing. We're from a Portuguese background and are used to using many spices (and peppers) in our cooking which makes most food we come across at the parks seem bland by comparison. Read over the menu before you decide on this restaurant, especially if you have kids. The menu for them is limited. But I definitely recommend the San Angel Inn.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): atmosphre Cons: terrible rushed service, no attention to detail
Never got to try the chips and salsa since our server forgot to bring them to us. Brought my husband his salad and two minutes later our entree's. My dish tasted like creamed onions. it was inedible and I only ate two bites before having to put my fork down. The server never checked on us and while I was in the bathroom he removed my plate and never mentioned the uneaten food. I know I should have spoken up but it had been a long day and I didnt want to hunt him down. We showed our displeasure in our lack of a quality tip.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): food, service Cons:
We ate here Nov 2011 and really liked it. Our kids do not like Mexican so we decided to try it when they were not with us. It is one of the best meals we have ever at Disney. Trying to figure out away to eat there again without the kids. I did the pre fixe meal and it was a lot of food.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The decor Cons: the steak
The decor of the restaurant is very unusual, which is the reason my family ate here.
For dinner I had a steak, which was small and dry. It was the same exact steak I was served at the Japanese restaurant.
My wife had the chicken enchaladas, which were pretty good.
The rice served with the dinners was also dry.
It's a nice place to eat the staff is very polite.
I would recommend eating here just to say you did, but stick with the mexican dishes.

We did not like this restaurant at all. The food was not good at all. It's a shame because the atmosphere is amazing.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Theming, atmosphere, food Cons: Cramped seating
An amazing atmosphere complimented by very good Mexican fare. Took my girlfriend here in June of 2012 and we both loved it. We are huge Mexican food fans so, we may be biased. It can be a very romantic meal. Wouldn't recommend for big parties as seating is extremely cramped. It is also extremely dark and they will provide flash lights to read the menu if needed. To me, you don't get much more of a unique experience than dining next to a Disney attraction.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Atmosphere and this time -- the food! Cons: Price
We were a married Canadian couple travelling the first week of December. Eight nights, deluxe dining plan.
In a truly startling and unexpected turn of events the food at San Angel Inn took top honors on our eight night trip! A trip that was otherwise full of signature restaurants.
Huh.
It's been our tradition to visit San Angel Inn every trip. The tradition began as homage to our very first trip and has proceeded mostly out of nostalgia, since San Angel Inn's food has ranged from mediocre to okay to occasionally off-putting for some people travelling with us.
This time out, it was the best meal we had in a trip that included Narcoosee's, The Flying Fish and Jiko's. The quesadia appetizer I had (which does not appear right now on the online menu) was the best thing I ate all week. It didn't resemble what I'd think of as a quesadia, but who cares? It amazed me, and the wife tried to steal it, even though her app was great, too.
Our mains were great too. I had the pollo; can't recall for the wife.
Look, I make no promises. I could be reporting a UFO/Sasquatch type of deal here. This place *still doesn't* serve tex mex of pop mex, which I'm sure will irk people, and its still not the most kid-friendly restaurant around, judging from reactions around us, but we were knocked out.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Most improved. Cons: Crowded but that's expected.
The ambience is fantastic. The setting created here is unmatched in all of WDW. The tequila bar is a hidden gem. Add the charming Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride and it's the complete package.
The food has had a bad rap until 2011. I can now say that this place should be awarded "Most Improved". The soups, salads and entrees are all a step up from past menus. The prices are up too but it carries more value now. A table by the water is recommended.
