We tried the Avacado Margarita the last time we were at EPCOT in June 2012. I LOVED it and so did my husband. This is something I wish my local bartenders would make. Delish!

Great food, great margaritas and great service. We always have a meal here on every trip. I was only so-so about the ROE viewing though. The music wasn't really loud enough, and I missed being outside where you can feel the heat from the fire and feel the booms a bit more from the fireworks!
