It’s not even that. Some IP is fine and makes sense. It’s just the parks are becoming more and more similar; they just throw IP wherever they feel like it whether it makes sense or not. And it’s also obnoxious that every single new project seems to be IP related. There should be a balance with some original stories.

personally I don't put much stock in concept art... the end result never turns out like that based on history

I don't either, but this piece of concept art is rather quiet doable (and cheap-ish). With the exception of the facades, most of the land is being reused and repained essentially.

Take the Bengal Barbecue menu from DL, copy it, and then put it across from Indy

I don't hate that. Look at Bayou Adventure! When you reskin existing infrastructure more budget is left over for better show scenes and especially advanced animatronics. Between what Disney is doing and what Uni is doing, I think we're on the brink of an animatronic golden age.

Let me throw this at you too...
The Chicxulub crater, which is believed to have destroyed the dinosaurs is in the Yucatán Peninsula, which some say influenced the mythology of the indigenous Mayan of that region, blaming the crater on their Rain God.
(This is very Wiki research, please forgive)
This could be very cool storyline, if they follow that train of thought...
(The last Indy movie involved Time Travel too...)

It’s not even close to the same food! Bengal is grilled meats on skewers and it’s amazing. VERY different from American BBQ. Bengal style food would be great near Indy. It’s just not quite South American and more Asian.

From what I understand, it is supposed to be based on Santa Fe de la Laguna which is up in the highlands of the state of Michoacán in a zone that is very much not tropical (it certainly gets very cold at night during winter around that part of the world!).
Still, I think they can fudge it a little. As I mentioned above, if it's based on Alebrijes, they're not originally from that part of Mexico anyway and are now made and sold all over the place. I even think a restaurant with a Coco-theme isn't that big of an issue: after all, Ernesto de la Cruz was famous all over Mexico and Héctor also toured the country in their early days, so there is a loophole that allows for some Coco-theming outside of Santa Cecilia!
I think that is a certainty at this point.

Image of the temple mock-up. No forbidden eye. No crystal skull. There is something at the top though. Looks like a beast with a huge open mouth... and ears.
The beast is apparently a Jaguar.
This seems a clear inspiration. Disney has taken it and elongated it. I'd say the beast in the Disney version looks different. More like a snake or crocodile... or dinosaur. But in case they are going with Jaguars:

Either way, if this is the design, I love it. It is very distinct looking.
It looks distinctly like Reign of Kong Skull Island at Universal, only less spiky and with a roaring jaguar replacing the roaring gorilla.

They’ll probably just copy/paste the menu from Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar.
Rattlesnake Sliders, here we come.

But in the concept art it's red. Seems odd.

Googling "Myan Red Temple" led to this:

Looks the same. It's called Rosalila Temple:
