Pecos Bill Cafe closing for short refurbishment to launch new menu
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Sounds like a blending from a bit of the Tortuga Tavern menu, perhaps or will it be different style burritos? Either way, sounds like a win win situation. Any idea if the burgers will all remain the same or change? Im still mourning the loss of hot cheese

Loading up my burger with all the fixings is one of my magic kingdom traditions. Not amused...

I like the concept of the new menu. Let's hope the food is good. MK needs more variety in it's quick service. If you want a burger you can always go to Cosmic Ray's. After Pecos Bills that is the next place that needs a revamp.

Yum! I was so sad when they dumbed down the menu recently and took out the taco salad. This is much better. Lord knows you can find a burger somewhere else in the park. Something a bit more unique (and on-theme) is much appreciated. Cosmic Rays still has burgers and a fixins bar.
It sounds a bit healthier than the typical mechanized garbage they serve. Let's hope!!!

Bad news! Maybe it was crowded, maybe it was burgers and fries. But that's what we look for over there. Now there are even fewer places for a burger or chicken sandwich. Not to our liking at all. Very frustrating!

Good. MK needs more variety.

I have no strong opinion either way. We've never bothered eating at Pecos Bill's, but I've often wanted to try it to see if I could understand the appeal that the fixin's bar has for so many other people. That said, having one less place that can be identified as "theme park burgers" sounds like a win, and I generally prefer southwest food over burgers anyway, so maybe this new menu is a win. I can't say for sure until I try it.
Of course, the bigger win would be for Tortuga Tavern to be open more with those kinds of menu items and letting Pecos Bill's retain its current menu. And while I'm daydreaming, keeping Tomorrowland Terrace and Aunt Polly's open wouldn't be so horrible either. I often wonder, while standing in line for "quick" service, why those places aren't open to absorb some of the hungry crowds.

I welcome the change. Pecos Bill's has always been a place we frequented, though in the last few years the variety has disappeared (Taco salad and chicken wrap are gone, for example).
Hopefully there will be a good variety in the new offerings. For the largest fast food location on the west side of the park (and really the only one, since Tortuga is usually closed most of the year) they need to have a good number of options. It's always a bit disappointing when a large place like that only has a small number of meal choices.

Believe me, you're preaching to the choir here. Last year we had to deal with a queued line out the door at Pecos (in what wasn't an especially crowded day), and the impossible task of finding seating at dinner time. There clearly is demand to open additional locations, but they've made the decision to prioritize "operational efficiency" over "guest service".
You would be surprised. That "Healthy" steak burrito from Chipotle with just the normal fixings comes in at a little over 1300 calories. You can punch it up to 1800 with just a few tweaks.
A 1/2 pound bacon cheeseburger at 5 Guys with absolutely everything they have in the building comes in at 1050.

The new menu sounds really good. My type of thing, and I'll be even happier if they still keep the side of chili cheese fries 
Oh yeah, I know, not a surprise to me. I get a salad with no rice, fajita veggies and meat at Chipotle.
healthy is about more than just calories though. This option sounds healthier and tastier than the average counter service meal but since Disney don't publish their nutritional info we'll likely never know. I doubt they plan to change how the food is sourced so it will probably come out in a wash, tasty but still unhealthy.
