Please keep in mind we don’t have experiences eating the meat options off the menu. Therefore, we can’t say whether or not we would recommend it, obviously. Yet, all the toppings we had on top of our beans and rice were tasty. Plus, the rice was really tasty!

Now, it should be noted that the food is quick-service food. Therefore, it’s not the ‘finest’ that Disney has to offer. Yet, it hits the spot and is just what we need on a busy park day.
