Disney dining-the Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh/Terrific TAQUITOS JALISCO (Orlando,FL)

Today we took Samuel to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World here in Orlando, FL and we pre-reserved the Winnie the Pooh & Friends Character lunch at the Crystal Palace which is a $24 buffet (1/2 price for kids) which was actually pretty good. While Sam adored being photographed and filmed with his friends Tigger & Pooh and eating the pizza, green beans, chicken nuggets, tomato salad and soft serve ice cream, we thought the meats and fish were excellent, especially the FLANK STEAK. The salads were superb and I thought the Zinfandel dressing was a treat.

Tonight we dined at TAQUITOS JALISCO (a real local spot at 2419 S Hiawassee Rd) which serves tradiitona Tex-Mex food and even had a xylophone player who was quite good. While Sam enjoyed soft chicken tacos, rice and tomato salad (he skipped the beans), we sipped our large superb $5 huge Margaritas and munched the yummy chips and medium mediocre salsa.

Will's entree was a PLATA de GUADALAJARA which had taco, enchilada and a great chile relleno and always with refried beans and rice; a side of guacamole was cilnaro intense and very nice, My PLATA MEXICANA was a bit smaller with a beef and chicken taco (the latter was much tastier) and a yummy fried chicken Flauta.

We headed home as it had been a long day and tomorrow look forward to dining here at the Ritz-Carlton at NORMAN'S!
