One of the best experiences of our weekend get-away. We visited on Monday 2/16, later in the evening around 8:30. We had a very rough day and another restaurant was not very accommodating, even with a reservation for several weeks, they told us the wait would be another hour! We were able to snag a last minute rez for Paseo. Our check in was smooth and we felt very welcomed. We were seated within mins and our server was Yadira. She was so accommodating and sweet. Outstanding service. The food was AMAZING. We had guacamole and chips, oysters and enchiladas. The enchiladas had chicken shredded and the sauce so delicious. Chefs kiss! We will definitely dine here again. read more

Paseo - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

Located in Downtown Disney, Paseo offers modern and elevated Mexican cuisine by a Michelin-starred chef. The dishes are delicious and beautifully presented. My favorites were the mejillones (mussels), smoked salmon pate and tuna ceviche - each small plate is packed with flavor and great for sharing. The black truffle steak tartare seemed like it lacked proper seasoning so I'd probably skip that one. My bf really enjoyed the grilled octopus and would recommend it. For drinks, the manguiri cocktail packed a strong, fruity punch. The well fashioned is a non-alcoholic drink. It doesn't taste anything like an old fashioned, but it's still a fun option if you want something celebratory without the alcohol. I loved the ambience and overall vibes of the restaurant. We sat near the window and were able to catch the Disneyland fireworks during dinner, which was a really nice touch. Paseo is a great option for dinner after a day at the parks. read more

The service is good with very attentive/friendly staff. This is one of my favorite restaurants at Downtown Disney and I visit at least once every few months if I can. l love everything I've ever tried there but I must insist you try the short ribs. Huge portion of big, beefy, "cut it with your fork" tender short rib served on a bed of frijoles accompanied by grilled tomatoes. There's also a Caesar's salad to die for! Not only very tasty but so beautifully arranged you feel guilt cutting into it. They just seem to get better every time I go and if you go, may I suggest you get an 830 seating and ask to sit on the balcony. You'll get a bird's view of the nightly fireworks display. Combine the food, service, tasty cocktails at Paseo with the fireworks, people watching and shopping at Downtown Disney and you just created a great evening out! read more

Located in Downtown Disney, Paseo is a great sit down restaurant for families or dates. The ambiance of this place is very modern and beautiful. We went for dinner and each table had their own contemporary table lamp which really set the mood. Service was amazing and the food was good. Four stars were given since one of the items we ordered was just okay. I highly recommend the yellowtail tartare and garlic fries. My friend had the Caesar salad and that was amazing. The chicken enchiladas was the one we did not like. There was nothing special about its taste and the food temperature could have been warmer. Our drinks were good. I had the manguiri and though there is no lychee in the drink, I tasted it. That was a delightful surprise. The ritual margarita was floral, fruity, sweet, and sour. A good combination to have in a margarita. There were hints of guava and ginger in it. I recommend trying this place, especially at night, with a date. read more

I generally have pretty low expectations for touristy areas, but the food here was truly excellent and I'm glad we made a reservation a few days before we came to Disney Super chic and modern interior, excellent service, intriguing cocktail menu, and delicious food! I'm pretty picky about guacamole and often find restaurant guacamole, either too lemony or bland or not salty enough etc - but their version was perfectly spot on and comes with really addictive fresh tortilla chips. The butternut squash soup was also perfectly flavored and just slightly creamy- just wonderful after a long day of walking . I liked the the cheese on the Esquites corn were sprinkled on top - so you could mix it in. roasted rainbow trout was pricy but totally worth it - huge whole food, super tender with unique flavoring spread on top . Loved it ! Overall highly recommend for a dinner while you're in downtown Disney ! read more

First time trying Paseo for brunch, and it was pretty good. I expected it to be a bit busier as we dined the weekend before Christmas. However, we were easily able to get a table outside with no reservation. I got the huarache de asada which was yummy!! It's good Paseo is in Downtown Disney cos I needed to walk after eating that whole dish as fast as I did. My mom got the chilaquiles and added flank steak. The steak on her order was really tough compared to mine. She genuinely did not enjoy it since it was so difficult to chew, which sucks since she paid extra for the steak to be added. My grandma got the breakfast burrito and she liked it. The sauce on top was a bit too much for her. Because the burrito was such a good size, she ended up taking the rest of her burrito home. Would I go back for brunch? Probably not. But I'd love to come back and try their dinner menu. read more

Celebrated my mom's birthday today at Paseo! As we mourned Tortilla Joes closing , we went to try the new mexican place that was hyped up by foodies and yelp alike! Our server (I think his name was Ricardo?) was sooo sweet and attentive! Everything we ordered was delicious. If you like carnitas, the cochinita pibil tacos is the way to go! Me and my mom split this one and ordered a few extra tortillas and the meat was so tender it fell off the bone. My brother ordered the new york steak and liked how seasoned it was, overall everything was perfectly salted, and desserts were not too sweet (also perfect). Dessert was phenomenal and I highly reccomend the pavlova, the crunchy merengue with the fruity sorbet and jam inside was super yummy! It's fun cracking into it with your spoon! Overall this restaurant was phenomenal, so much so we kept talking about how good the food was on our way home! Thank you to the wonderful staff and chefs for a lovely meal! read more

Absolutely Worth the Visit! We came here for Christmas brunch and everything was incredible. We started with the Tlayuda for the table and it was perfect for sharing. My personal favorite was the Paseo Waffles. Every bite was rich, balanced, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Huevos Rancheros and Torta de Chilaquiles - both comforting, flavorful, and executed so well. The Smoked Salmon Pâté felt elevated and fresh, and even the Kids Breakfast Burrito was a hit! Our server, Teresa, was amazing - warm, attentive, and so helpful with recommendations. Great food, beautiful dishes, and exceptional service. We left full and happy, and we'll definitely be back. read more

My husband and I were very excited to try this restaurant for his birthday. I spoke with the host ahead of time to make a note of his birthday and to request the patio. Nobody mentioned or wished my husband a happy birthday. The food and drinks were bland. The fish was overcooked and dry. We left most of our food behind. Our water glasses were empty most of the night and the service was poor. read more

Beautiful restaurant located right in Downtown Disney with an upstairs dining area that overlooks downtown Disney...We made reservations ahead of time, and I definitely recommend doing the same because it gets very busy and wait times can be long. We ordered the mole dish, enchiladas, and a couple of drinks, while my kids had the chicken strips and burrito. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the mole! The restaurant was very clean, including the restrooms, and the overall atmosphere was wonderful. We truly loved our experience here and can't wait to come back! read more

When you don't have a Disney reservation, a downtown Disney night is your next best option! We've passed by Paseo enough to be intrigued by the promise of an upscale dining experience at Disney so when we decided to come get our steps here on a weekday evening, we also made a reservation at Paseo. It's nestled next to Tiendita so you might miss it as it only has seating on the second floor. It's essentially upscale Mexican dining. I liked that they got a little more adventurous with the flavors relative to your average Disney experience but I don't think it always paid off. I got the old fashioned and the smokiness was just overdone, it almost made me feel a little sick. I think pairing it with the tlayuda was overkill since there was something smoky on here too that just didn't work for me personally. The chicken enchiladas saved the day but honestly, we're not anything super special. My favorite part (as always) was the sweet treat. We went with the seasonal snowman special. So cute and yummy and unique! Gruyère ice cream sounds a little strange at first but it paired perfectly with the orange gel. It was very refreshing but also creamy? I loved it. read more

Loved the service especially on Thanksgiving night. We walked in an hour before closing, they sat us within 20 minutes. We had just come from a terrible experience at an all-you-can-eat buffet and were starving, so getting water, our appetizer, and the kids' meals ordered as soon as we sat down felt amazing. The star of the night was definitely the queso fundido. It's not your typical queso fundido, but the flavor is so good it makes you forget what the classic version even tastes like. The bread it came with was pretty hard, but we were so hungry we still ate it all. I ordered--can't remember the name--a type of chile relleno. It was different, but really tasty, especially with the rice underneath. My kids ordered chicken tenders and a burrito--pretty standard, good portions, no complaints there. Lastly, my mother-in-law and husband had the enchiladas de pollo. Everything was good, and we truly appreciated being served on Thanksgiving night. The ambiance was fantastic, and we even got to see Disney's fireworks. Overall, a great night. read more

Had a lovely dinner at Paseo on Halloween! Spent the day at Disney for a pre birthday celebration and wanted something a little nicer for din. Paseo is definitely nice! Backed by a Michelin-starred Chef :) The restaurant is very beautiful and is upstairs so the view is cute. My chair did have lots of chip crumbs on it so that was a little not cute. Not too many veggie options but still found some great dishes! Chile relleno was very unique (mushrooms inside, cheese on top) & great presentation, and guac was bomb. Chips were stale though. Prices: $9 for glass of iced tea, $30 for each chile relleno, $18 guac. read more

Choosing Paseo to have dinner while on a family trip to Disneyland was a spur of the moment decision. It was a busy day at the park, we hadn't made reservations elsewhere, and they appeared to have Mac & Cheese on their menu; something easy for my picky daughter to accept. And, man, I am so beyond happy that we did decide to come and eat here. The restaurant itself is spacious, taking up the second floor of a Downtown Disney spot. There is ample room between tables, with open kitchen areas allowing patrons to watch the various dishes being crafted. A large patio overlooks the coffee shop and milling shoppers below, all with a calm and softly lit atmosphere. We started dinner with the Tlayuda, essentially a Oaxacan Tostada. The black bean puree provided a nice and salty base, the chorizo and pork belly were sweet and smoky. Strips of Cecina on top gave a delicious and slightly chewy texture. And it was all brought together with a thick layer of melted Oaxaca cheese on top, sprinkled with greens, onions, and dollops of that avocado mousse. This was the best dish we had eaten that evening and a wonderful way to begin our meal. My wife and I shared the Chile Relleno. It was an exceptionally large and perfectly smoked Poblano, the interior overflowing with mushrooms and a finely reduced tomato sauce, served on a bed of salted rice, and topped with a thick slab of lightly toasted cheese and squash. Individually, each component was well cooked, but very simple. Mixed together, the whole of the dish was exceedingly flavorful, a nice blending of textures, and was overall excellently crafted. Our son, unsure of anything on the menu, was convinced to try the Tuna Ceviche. At first, he limited himself to the hominy garnish, testing the marinade that coated the fish. But, after sampling his tuna, his face lit up and he quickly ate all of his dinner, very much enjoying every bite. And our daughter enjoyed her Tres Queso Mac & Cheese off of the ninos menu. While she didn't finish it, the dish still got her personal thumbs up. About the only detraction from our dinner were the Papas Fritas side we ordered for the table. While the fries on the side of my daughter's dinner were well crisped, the papas frites were drenched in butter to the point of becoming soggy and limp. The flavor was fine, especially with the sheer amount of fragrant garlic, but the texture had become quite unappealing. Regardless, we had an outstanding dinner here at Paseo. It was delicious, surprising, and a fantastic end to a busy day at Disneyland. While our visits to the Magic Kingdom are limited, I can easily say that coming back here for another evening is definitely worth doing again. ---------- And for the Disneyland Reviews List: Taste - Or the Overall Flavor: * * * * (and a half) While I would say that places like Carthay Circle and Blue Bayou top my lists, Paseo is still an outstanding entry into Disney's list of places to dine. The food is full of smokey flavors, rich sauces, and fantastic textures and combinations. Convenience - Of the Seating & Service Options: * * * * The seating is open with a good amount of space between tables. An outside patio gives nice views of Downtown Disney below. And the kitchen areas are open so people can view certain dishes being crafted before them. It's pleasant, comfortable, and relaxing after a long day at the parks. The only real issue I have is that the restaurant is on the second floor, making the front desk essentially just a gateway to a staircase. I'm not sure why, but I found this to be a bit wasteful and inconvenient. Value - Will you walk away satisfied?: * (and a half) Every place in Disneyland is relatively over priced; the trick is to find food that will make you not want a snack two hours later, despite what you pay. Typically, paying around $10 per person is what you should expect, but still have a filling meal. Let's face it, Paseo is not cheap. While it won't completely break the bank like other places at Disneyland, you can still expect to easily pay in excess of $30 per person or more. Still, if you're trying to be a bit more economical, you do get a fair amount of food with the entrees, making them sharable. And some patrons can opt to eat something off the appetizer menu to help curb the costs further. Regardless, the experience here is fantastic and very much worth the cost. Kid Factor - Is there entertainment for the young ones?: * If any of your kids are curious how a tortilla is made, they might find something to keep them entertained. Others might take delight in the scenery of Downtown. But, otherwise, a fine restaurant is not exactly a place for younger and easily bored kids. read more

Had a great experience at Paseo Mexican Restaurant in Downtown Disney! The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with a good variety of Mexican dishes and drinks. The atmosphere was beautiful, vibrant, and definitely fitting for the Downtown Disney experience. The location is excellent, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. The restaurant has a nice, modern ambiance that makes it a great spot for families, friends, or even a date night while visiting Downtown Disney. The only area that could use some improvement was the service. While some of the servers were friendly and attentive, a few seemed to lack enthusiasm and energy. That was a little surprising considering this is a Disney-related property, where exceptional hospitality and a welcoming attitude are usually part of the experience. Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and location and would definitely give Paseo another try. With a little more consistency in the service and Disney-level enthusiasm, this could be an excellent dining experience. read more

Paseo was great, Alejando was a great waiter! Great recommendations! I would recommend this place, good views.

came here and ordered the mayan ceviche which was fresh with great flavoring with good portions. also got the cochinita pibil which was pork. This dish was alright and other special but was still good to try from here. the braised short rib were very tender with great flavoring and was cooked to perfection. Paired with the sauce, it was very good. read more

Came back for the excellent food and the fun times with Rudy! Always a great time with our server Rudy. Tar tar was amazing. The flavor was bright contrasting well with the butter fried toast. Short ribs were succulent and melt in your mouth. The guava foam atop the ma laytai was so unique. No bake guava cheese cake and the peach atop mascarpone ice cream with pistachio strudel..... mmmm delicious! Went back twice this trip it was so good! A slice of paradise at the happiest place on earth! read more

**AT DOWNTOWN DISNEY** LOCATION: This is UPSTAIRS, near Centrico. Centrico is the medium casual sister restaurant and Paseo is the "fancy" one. It's at downtown Disney, so you'll have to pay for parking or get validated. AMBIANCE (4/5): They have a small bar right as you walk upstairs, they have lots of indoor booth seating and some outdoor patio seating if you'd like to people watch. SERVICE (4/5): I've always had good service when I dine here. FOOD (4/5): $40 DOZEN OYSTERS: served with tangerine aguachile sauce & pickled shallots. One sauce is sweet and the other is vinegary. Small oysters, good starter. $42 MAMA'S COCHINITA PIBIL: pork shank served over mashed black beans. I think this is one of their best dishes on the menu! $64 CARNE ASADA: 12 ounces of meat served with fingerling potatoes. read more

Excellent service and delicious food; the place is very beautiful, and everyone is super friendly from the moment you walk in.

My husband and I had an excellent dining experience here with the food being the best highlight of it all. I had a reservation for dinner and we were seated quickly. Our server was so kind and attentive. I believe his name is Rudy. We ordered drinks and food. The presentation of everything is a good balance of classy and fun. The DTS cocktail was beautiful and refreshing. I really love the enchilada de pollo. The sauce was somehow light but full of flavor. Probably one of the best enchiladas I've had. The black beans are amazing with a smooth consistency, you can tell how fresh they made it. My husband's carne asada was also very good. The corn tortillas were freshly made too. So good but it only came with 3 sadly. I could have eaten 10 of those! The only thing I didn't care for was the queso fundido as it reminded me too much of Tom Ka Thai soup. The ambiance is romantic and elegant. It is a little dark in there but our server provided us a small table light upon request. Would love to come back to eat here again! read more

Paseo is a nice restaurant in Downtown Disney. We passed by and checked out the menu after seeing some beautiful dishes coming out of the kitchen to the restaurant across the way. Came here to do an early father's Day celebration. The view was great overlooking the Disney Downtown area. We ordered the guacamole with pork belly and that was soo delicious! The chips were just right amount of crunch. For dinner we ordered the large plates Cochinita Pibil, Swordfish, and Shrimp Pipian dishes. They were a work of art visually. However, the food was not hot. We ordered rice and beans to accompany our dishes because they are ala carte. I found the beans bland and the red rice cold. Honestly I would skip the rice snd beans. The meal alone is fine. It was very filling. I was excited to try the handmade tortillas. They were blue and white corn and thicker than average. But even though they were in a warmer, they needed to be warmer. The food needed to be hotter as well. Not sure why it was warm. Maybe they were overwhelmed with customers. The food overall was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, but I for me the temperature was off. The drinks we had were the Jamaica and that was very good. I would like to come back on a less busy day. The food was great. But for me the thing I was not happy about was how it was not hot. read more

I was a little hesitant about eating here because I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. I feel like not many places make it the way it should be, and I often end up disappointed. But this place was the complete opposite. The food was excellent. It did have a slightly different twist from what I personally consider traditional, but I absolutely loved it! We ordered tostadas with salsa, shrimp aguachile, chile relleno, and chicken mole. Everything tasted freshly made. The tortillas were incredibly good, the tostadas had amazing flavor, and the salsa was phenomenal with the perfect medium spice level for me since I don't eat very spicy food. It also had a delicious garlic flavor. For drinks, we ordered a michelada that honestly surprised us because it was exactly how we like it, and a Maya-Tai that had a delicious smoky flavor. The only reason I'm not giving a perfect score is because I would have liked the food to be served hotter. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't really hot either. Our server, Justine, wasn't rude at all, but she did come across a little cold and very straight to the point, almost like she didn't really want to be there, and it showed. Completely different from our host, Maddy, who was absolutely lovely. We had great conversation with her and she gave us amazing recommendations! read more

I had the Chicken Enchiladas at Paseo in Downtown Disney, and they were hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten. So good, in fact, that we went back the very next day because I needed more. The shredded chicken was tender, the salsa verde was perfectly tangy, and the toppings -- avocado, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and queso fresco -- were fresh and flavorful. Paseo is a modern Mexican restaurant by Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán, blending cultural legacy with contemporary flair. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that adds to the overall dining experience. Whether you're a local or visiting the parks, if you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine, Paseo is a must-visit. And if you're lucky enough to try the chicken enchiladas, prepare to be amazed. Highly recommend! read more

Been wanting to try this restaurant from the well known chef Carlos Gaytán Let's talk about the restaurant itself, it's beautiful and well planned like any other patina group restaurant. Service: it's ok! Hostess very careless and doing the minimum, the server was ok, not too informative about the menu or the drinks. The ambiance on top is excellent and perfect for any occasion. Now the most important thing here the food, everything was great, a little to monotonous but still everything had sazón. I recommend you to try the tlayuda! We order plenty of food but Definitely not a restaurant for me. You need to try it to see if it's a restaurant for you. read more
