It is thought that the word "barbecue" is a derivative of the West Indian term "barbacoa," which denotes a method of slow-cooking meat over hot coals.
Hope that helps.

People frequently rave about Bengal Barbecue in DL's Adventureland.

I think both BBQ and Tex-Mex make more sense as a "frontier" themed place than a Caribbean one. As I mentioned at one point before, a good thematic fit for Tortuga would be stuff like jerk chicken or Cuban sandwiches.
That said, I think the menu changes reflect that they wanted a full time Tex-Mex place in MK and the seasonal BBQ compliments the offerings already at Cosmic Rays, as has been mentioned.

From a chef I know that will cook there, African, Asian, and South American. Areas of the world with a lot of jungles.

Bengal Barbecue is cool, but is very different food. The menu consists of skewers and are more like a snake or tapa than a regular quick service meal.

Honestly, I think Tortuga was pretty busy when it was El Pirata y El Piraca but they just chose to save on costs and make the others busier. It is a smaller place and sorta tucked away so it will never do Pecos business.

Bengal BBQ this is not... I'd love for WDW to get a good quick service hot snack like they offer there. Maybe near pirates.
What I'd love now is for a revisit of the Tomorrowland Terrace to get a nice makeover and produce a menu similar to yak n yeti. Finally, add somewhere with a good bakery offering in addition to Starbucks and I think I'll be a happy man!

a Mongolian BBQ derivative would be good. Asian themed bowls and maybe some "Meat and more meat" bowls for less adventurous

Yes, this, we need this!
I'm sure someone would love to punch Columbia HH if they did that.

Thematically speaking why would you serve mexican food at tortuga tavern when the surrounding area is themed to el morro (A puerto rican landmark)?

Tortuga Tavern needs to serve rum-style drinks. It is named a tavern after all.

Gaston's Tavern, Liberty Tree Tavern, Tortuga Tavern.... I think we should all accept the amount of taverns without alcohol by now. haha

Very true! It is kind of strange how you can get alcohol at the other parks, but not MK. I wonder why?
MK had always been a dry park up until BoG opened.
If you happen to be at Epcot during F&W at around 8:30 PM on a Saturday the chances are pretty good that you see an example of why.
