Disneyland Resort shared opening timeframes and sneak peeks of Paseo, Céntrico, Tiendita, and Din Tai Fung coming soon to Downtown Disney District.

Paseo, Céntrico, and Tiendita Opening in May

Mexico’s first Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán is bringing authentic Mexican fare to the Downtown Disney District with Paseo, Céntrico, and Tiendita. The three concepts are expected to open in the next few weeks.

A stunning staircase will lead you to Paseo’s dining room and bar area lined with rich woods, tiles, textures, leathers, and custom accents that celebrate Mexico’s craftsmanship culture. An extended upper patio will offer new views of the district.

Chef Gaytán pairs his love of Mexico with French culinary style and technique. Paseo menu items include colorful ceviches, Mama’s cochinita pibil (roasted marinated pork), lamb barbacoa, and the mejillones (mussels) pictured above. 

Céntrico, the courtyard bar and restaurant, will be an energetic, central gathering place serving upscale Mexican cuisine and tequila-based cocktails. The airy space is designed with custom wood elements and lush greenery under an outdoor canopy.

Céntrico’s featured dishes include quesabirrias, chicken enchiladas, tlayuda (a Oaxacan shareable dish reminiscent of a pizza), and one of Chef Gaytán’s favorites — Caesar salad.  

The quick-service Tiendita will offer street food staples. Guests will order through a self-ordering kiosk from a menu of esquites (roasted corn), fish tacos, ice cream-stuffed chocolate tacos, and breakfast favorites like chorizo breakfast burritos and chilaquiles (marinated tortilla chips with egg).

Din Tai Fung Opening This Summer

Din Tai Fung, a Michelin-awarded restaurant brand from Taiwan, will open this summer. The restaurant will serve signature soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), wontons, noodles, steamed buns, bok choy, pork chop fried rice, and other dishes family style.

New Steakhouse and BBQ Concepts Coming to Downtown Disney

A steakhouse restaurant and an adjacent barbecue eatery are in the works for the Downtown Disney District. These will be located on the footprint of the former Tortilla Jo’s.

Expansion and Reimagination Coming to Marceline’s Confectionery
