The MouseHub take

Choza de Margarita is an outdoor drink window near the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT's World Showcase. Disney prices the whole place in its snack band, $14.99 and under per adult, and the board is mostly tequila: five frozen margaritas from $14.50 to $18.00, four signature margaritas served on the rocks from $18.25 to $22.00, Mexican beer, and two micheladas. The food is a short list of four plates and two sides. Tacos de Cochinita, Empanada de Barbacoa, and Pastor Quesadillas each come with a side of corn esquites, and the $8.00 Elote is both the cheapest thing here and the item visitors bring up most.

How you feel about the stop depends on which half of the menu you order from. The frozen pours come fast and cold, which is what most people want walking World Showcase in August, though guests hoping for a cocktail mixed to order describe them as pre-batched. The on-the-rocks list answers that with named tequilas and fresh juice for a few dollars more. The other recurring complaint is arithmetic. One margarita and the Elote clears twenty dollars before tax, and nothing on the board is a meal.

The good

  • You get a drink faster here
    La Cava del Tequila, the tequila bar inside the pavilion, backs up through the afternoon. Reviewers reach this window in a fraction of that time.
  • The frozen margaritas do their job in the heat
    Five of them fill the board, from Classic Lime at $14.50 to El Jefe at $18.00. Visitors reach for them on hot afternoons and say the cold is the whole point.
  • The Elote is the sleeper order
    Sweet corn on the cob under chipotle aioli, queso cotija, and Tajin chile-lime powder, $8.00. It draws more praise in reviews than anything else on the menu.
  • The on-the-rocks list is not an afterthought
    The Cucumber pours Tromba blanco tequila with fresh cucumber and lime juice, Abasolo corn whiskey, agave, and rhubarb bitters, $18.25. Guests ordering off this side come away happier than the frozen crowd.
  • The guacamole is built for two
    It arrives topped with mango and pumpkin seeds, with tortilla chips, at $12.50. Reviewers treat it as a plate to share rather than one person's snack.
  • The plates come with esquites on the side
    Tacos de Cochinita, Empanada de Barbacoa, and Pastor Quesadillas all include a side of corn esquites. That is more food than a walk-up window usually hands over.

The bad

  • The frozen drinks taste pre-batched
    Reviewers who came for a cocktail mixed to order say the frozen pours land flat. The Fiesta is a blend of three of the other frozen margaritas, which tells you how the board is built.
  • The prices climb fast
    Signature margaritas run $18.25 to $22.00 and the frozen ones $14.50 to $18.00. Add the $8.00 Elote and one person clears twenty dollars for a drink and a snack.
  • The line sits out in the open
    This is an outdoor window with no building to duck into. Guests waiting through a Florida afternoon complain about standing in full sun.
  • Nothing here adds up to a meal
    The four plates top out at $13.75 for the Empanada de Barbacoa, and Disney files the location in its $14.99-and-under snack band. Reviewers who tried to make lunch of it left hungry.
  • Non-drinkers get two choices
    The only alcohol-free items on the board are DASANI bottled water at $4.00 and a Conga fruit punch at $6.00. A group with kids in it will be ordering somewhere else.

Veteran tips

  • Come here when La Cava is packed
    La Cava del Tequila sits inside the pavilion and draws a crowd from lunchtime on. This window sells margaritas without that wait, though there is no Mobile Order to skip it further.
  • Order the Fiesta if you cannot decide
    It combines the strawberry, classic lime, and mango loco frozen margaritas in one cup at $15.25. Disney calls the $18.00 El Jefe a grand expression of the same drink.
  • Eat the Elote before you walk
    The aioli and cotija make a mess once you are moving. Finish it near the window rather than carrying it down the promenade.
  • Ask what the seasonal margarita is
    The menu lists a Seasonal Margarita at $22.00 and tells you to ask a Cast Member for details. The window is the only place to find out what is in it.
  • There is beer on the board too
    Dos Equis runs $12.00 and Hercules, a craft lager brewed with Mexican corn, $13.00. The $14.00 Michelada mixes that lager with Clamato, citrus, salsa Valentina, Maggi, soy, and Worcestershire.
  • Split the Guacamole and the Elote
    $12.50 and $8.00 covers two people alongside the drinks, and comes in under the price of two plates.
  • Eat your actual meal at another table
    Plan a snack and a round here, then book somewhere with a kitchen. La Hacienda de San Angel serves table service in the same pavilion.
  • Ask about allergies at the window
    The short food board leans on dairy, from the queso cotija on the Elote to the crema and queso fresco on the empanada. No allergy-friendly menu is printed here, so ask for a Special Diets Trained Cast Member when you order.
