Choza Tequila opening in Epcot's World Showcase in early 2017

Posted: Monday January 2, 2017 9:09am EST by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has today announced that Choza Tequila will be opening soon at Epcot's Mexico Pavilion.

The outdoor tequileria will be located near the Mexico pavilion, offering hand-crafted margaritas and classic Mexican cuisine like tacos, empanadas, chips and fresh guacamole.

With the opening of the expanded Norway Pavilion last year, the original Margarita stand was closed. Choza Tequila appears to be the replacement, with an expanded menu.

No Avocado Margarita? :grumpy:

Went there this afternoon and ordered the lime cucumber margarita and the tacos. My friend ordered the fiesta frozen margarita. We both enjoyed our drinks and food.

Any initial perceptions on the drink and food?

Went last night. Small line to get to the counter around 7pm. Place looks great! I had the grapefruit margarita.

The crowds yesterday and today were 50% less compared to Monday, which was the last night of Food&Wine. Monday night Choza was packed. We went on Tuesday and walked right up to order. Very fun!

244601 244600 A few pics from Choza from tonight. Not a bad little place especially on a nice fall night like tonight.

In world showcase Canada, U.K., Norway, the American Adventure and Germany are fully owned and operated by Disney. The shops and attractions in Mexico, and France are operated by Disney. In China, morocco, Japan, just the attraction/ kidcot are operated by Disney. Italy merchandise is also Disney operated. I think that covers everyone. The food and wine kiosks are mostly Disney except for the countries that have a participating company do their food and beverage (like France and Mexico etc)

Yup, forgot the Patina Group. They also run Morimoto Asia, will run the Edison, and a handful of stuff at DtD DLR.

Italy dining is also third party.

In parks it's mostly at Epcot and AK. (Other than the Joffrey's kiosks) AK is Rainforest & Yak&Yeti, both by Landry's. Epcot Morocco is pretty much entirely run by 3rd party, both shopping and dining http://www.moroccopavilion.com/. Mexico all the dining is the Palmas Group (also runs Coronado Springs) http://www.palmasjobs.com. Japan shopping is Mitsukoshi http://mitsukoshi.mistore.jp/onlinestore/index.html. China shopping is 3rd party. I thought one or the other was also 3rd party dining, but I can't confirm. France dining is pretty much owned/run by Jerome Bocuse (son of Paul Bocuse, namesake of Monsieur Paul) Lots of/most of Disney Springs is 3rd party.

Throw back one for me. I'm still not sure if work is sending me down for spring training next year and that is when I typically invade the parks.

Princess LeiaNov 15, 2017

Huzzah! I will report back with my experience 2 weeks from today (or depending on how much I drink at this place, 2 weeks from tomorrow).

I was apparently blissfully unaware of the breadth of third party ownership across the resort. When it came to the parks, I thought it was limited to the Landry's properties in Animal Kingdom. How naive of me. Do you know if there's a full list published anywhere? My Google searches are coming up mostly empty.
