Since the Disney Treasure sails for 5-7 night itineraries, some of the rotational dining locations get revisited. They often have a different menu and different entertainment for each night.
The first night guests dine at Plaza de Coco, they enjoy a quieter evening celebrating La Familia with music and dancing. The second night is a more exciting Día de los Muertos celebration.
As part of rotational dining, most items are included in the cost of the voyage. Alcoholic beverages and specialty non-alcoholic beverages are an additional cost.
Plaza de Coco — Día de Los Muertos 2nd Night Dinner
Plaza de Coco Decor
The restaurant is beautifully themed, with many references to the film and its characters. Upon entering, you’re greeted with a sign for Plaza de Coco.
A Rivera family ofrenda is also on display, featuring photos of Mama Coco, Mama Imelda, and Héctor. Marigolds are throughout this display.
In the main dining area, a center stage is surrounded by tables and chairs, and a large tree grows in one portion of the room. Popcorn lights dot the ceiling and line the windows around the perimeter.
Photos of the Rivera family and other artwork line the walls as well, including this photo of Miguel with Mama Coco as seen in the film.
The table settings are very nice, with themed napkins and placemats.
The plateware is custom, and feature quotes from the film’s songs like “Remember Me” and “Proud Corazón.”
The marigold at the center of our table was even housed in a tealight featuring an illustration of Miguel.
Día de los Muertos Dinner Show
During the two dinners offered at Plaza de Coco, guests can enjoy two different shows alongside their meal.
At the second dinner, guests will see Miguel reunite with his great-great-grandparents, Mama Imelda and Héctor.
With help from his magic guitar, Miguel transports his grandparents to Santa Cecilia’s town square, where a mariachi band and dancers are on hand to celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Dinner Rolls
These are your standard dinner rolls, and are unadvertised on the menu, but are a kind of safety option for guests who eat vegan as an alternative to chips and salsa. They’re as good as you’d expect, and butter is, of course, included.
Rating out of 7: 5
Chips and Salsa
The salsa looks very tomato-y but tastes very good. The chips are also great.
Rating out of 7: 7
Plaza de coco Entradas Reviews
Héctor Rivera’s Sweet Shrimp “Coctel”
Sweet Shrimp, Salsa Picante, Orange, Lime, Tomatoes, and Cilantro
The shrimp isn’t fishy, but a little slimy. The overall flavor is not bad, but the texture is off-putting.
Rating out of 7: 1
Beef Birria Empanada
Baked Pastry Turnover with Pulled Beef Brisket, Oaxaca Cheese, Pico de Gallo, and Birria Consommé
While part of our group thought this was the best appetizer they’d had on the ship so far, another member of our group likened it to a Jamaican beef patty. It’s not bad. The ground beef is housed in a flaky, buttery pastry and is well-cooked. You get a lot of flavor from the Consommé. We’d highly recommend you try this.
Rating out of 7: 6
Celeriac, Herb Guacamole, Blue Corn Chips
Jalapeño Chile, Cherry Tomatoes, and Lemon Crema
The blue corn chips are stale compared to our table chips, which were good. This appetizer could’ve been prepared a while ago.
The guacamole is pretty unremarkable, and the dish overall is quite basic. That being said, the vegan version of this dish had incredible guacamole that was clearly prepared at a different time, so your mileage may vary.
Rating out of 7: 1
Red Chicken Enchiladas
Guajillo Spiced Red Enchilada Sauce and Chihuahua Cheese
This isn’t bad! The chicken is tender and a bit chewy, but juicy. Flavor-wise, we think Disney may have been afraid to go too spicy with the chicken, which we think the dish could’ve benefitted from overall. We were told that Disney backed off on spiciness because some guests may not want spicy food.
The enchilada sauce offers a lot of flavor, and the cheese does as well. This is a very good, very cheesy dish, and is served as a nice, big portion.
Rating out of 7: 4
Plaza de coco Ensaladas Reviews
Watermelon, Orange, and Jicama Salad
Endive, Avocado, and Lime-Demerara Sugar Dressing
This salad is very good. The fruit is fresh as are all the greens. It’s a nice light option, and also one of the few plant-based options as is. The sweetness of the fruit cuts the bitterness of the endive and the lime brings a necessary acidity.
Rating out of 7: 5
Romaine Wedge
Cotija Cheese, Toasted Corn, Pumpkin Seeds, Grape Tomatoes, Lime Crema, and Parsley Dressing
Plaza de Coco Sopa Reviews
Chipotle Black Bean Soup
Cilantro, Lime, Purple Onion, and Mamá Coco’s Pork Tamal
This is a fantastic dish. The soup alone is perfection, and we don’t really enjoy black beans. It’s got a complex flavor, and is obviously black bean heavy, but it’s not an overly dense soup.
The tamal is very good, and theme park tamales do not come out good very often. This is our favorite appetizer we’ve had the entire cruise.
Rating out of 7: 7
Chilled Avocado Soup
Goats Cheese, Cilantro, Serrano Chili, and Ricotta Salata
Some of us aren’t fans of cold soups, but the flavors are fine if a little bitter. This is inedible. We would not suggest you get this.

Plaza de Coco Platos Principales Reviews
Entrée Menu | Entrée Reviews
Ernesto de la Cruz’s Grilled Seafood and Tomato Rice
Jasmine Rice, Grilled Shrimp, Calamari and Scallops, Castelvetrano Olive, Caper, Pinto Bean, Green Onions, and Tomato
Pan-Seared Adobo Spiced Sea Bass
Rainbow Carrots, Green Asparagus, Savoy Spinach, Romanesco, Peas, Seared Scallop, Pea Tendrils, and Chimichurri
Blistered Poblano Pepper
Oaxaca Cheese, Cremini Mushroom, Spinach, Green Rice, Guajillo Sauce, Lime Crema
Michoacán Carnitas
Crisp Pulled Pork, Pickled Red Onions, Cilantro-Lime Rice, Guacamole, and Salsa Roja Asada
This is not bad. The tortillas that came with the dish were a little doughy. The pork is cooked correctly and has a bit of a smoky flavor, though we wish there was more to it. The guacamole does nothing to uplift the dish, and the salsa roja asada is not potent at all. Despite that, we still enjoyed the dish.
Rating out of 7: 5
Imelda Rivera’s Roasted Chicken Breast Mole
Roasted Chicken Breast, Cacao Mole Sauce, Red Rice, Pickled Onion, Sesame Seeds, and Soft Flour Tortilla
This isn’t as spicy as we like our mole to be, but we were told ahead of time to not expect as much spice. This dish comes with a nice piece of roasted chicken breast and is very well-cooked, tender, and juicy. The rice is also good and presented in a cake-like slice that was interesting.
Rating out of 7: 5
Toasted Quinoa Bowl
Red and Brown Quinoa, Cilantro-Lime Potatoes, Garlic Black Beans, Avocado, Tomatillo Habañero Salsa, and Tostones
The tostones are excellent! The potatoes are even better, super salty, very nice. Everything here is excellent and has tons of flavor. There’s a slight spiciness to this dish, which we appreciated.
Usually we’re not a fan of getting quinoa at restaurants because it can often come out bland, but both kinds are excellent here.
Rating out of 7: 6
Rib-Eye “De Corte Grande”
Oaxaca-Monterey Jack Cheese, Double-baked Potato, Buttered Broccoli, Sweet Honey-roasted Carrots, and Tamarind Port Wine Sauce
While this doesn’t strike us as a Mexican dish, we loved this. The meat is perfect, so juicy and tender. The accompanying Tamarind Port Wine reduction is nice, a little sweet and tangy. The broccoli is well-cooked, and the twice-baked potato is great.
Rating out of 7: 7
Chef’s Special Pasta
We received this pasta while waiting for the quinoa bowl. Featuring some sort of oil, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto, this dish packs a ton of flavor and a huge portion. If we have any criticism to share, it is that the pasta is a little overcooked. We really enjoyed this.

Plaza de Coco Dessert Reviews
Miguel’s Churros Calientes
Sugar Spiced Churros, Warm Cajeta Caramel
The churros are weirdly chewy, but not bad. The spiciness combined with the rich caramel is excellent. This would be a 7 on our rating scale if the churros were cooked correctly.
Rating out of 7: 6
Sunrise Spectacular Chocolate Cake
Chocolate Joconde Layered Cake, Raspberry Chocolate Crème, and Marigold Petals
The cake is a quite dry and not super fresh. The raspberry chocolate cream is weird and doesn’t help the dish at all. It’s slightly above average but not anything to write home about.
Rating out of 7: 4
Grand Central Station Pecan Tart
Roasted Pecan Nuts, Brown Sugar Custard, and Salted Caramel Creme
The pie crust here sucks, it’s quite dry and kills the entire dish. The filling is perfectly fine, but the vessel is terrible.
Rating out of 7: 3
Cappuccino Crème Brûlee Cheesecake
Baked Vanilla Cheesecake and Caramelized Coffee Crème Brûlee
We love this. It’s very coffee-heavy, as though we had just drank a cappuccino. The cheesecake is really good, and the plating is very nice.
Rating out of 7: 6
No Sugar Added Coconut Rice Pudding
Mango-Mint Salsa and Chili Chocolate Decor
There’s a light burn to the chili chocolate decor on top. For no sugar added, this is excellent.
Rating out of 7: 6
Héctor Rivera’s Sundae
Dulce de Leche Ice Cream, Banana Bread, Cinnamon Fried Tortilla, and Whipped Cream
This is so sweet and so good. If we could raise our rating to 8, we would!
Rating out of 7: 7
Strawberry Sorbet
This is a good sorbet, but not anything crazy. We were satisfied!
Rating out of 7: 7
Cookies and Cream Mousse Dome
This is on the vegan menu. We would prefer this dessert to the sorbet when ordering from the vegan menu. It doesn’t quite have the richness of a standard dessert but for a vegan option, the flavor is really nice. It tastes particularly creamy for being vegan. There’s just a hint of the cookie in the cookies and cream on the back end.

Drink Reviews
Plaza de Coco Cocktail Reviews
Recuerdame – $16
Teremana Reposado, Ancho Reyes, Mango, Lime, and Marigolds
The Rock says this is a good drink! (It features his Teremanda Reposado tequila.) This is a solid margarita, we have no criticisms here! Mexico pavilion at EPCOT, take note!
This is very drinkable, offers a nice flavor, and you get to eat marigolds — what’s not to like?
Rating out of 7: 6
Batanga – $10
Código Mezcal Artesanal, Lime, Coca-Cola, and Fizzy Candy
This is a complicated cocktail! It’s weird but good. It reminds us of the Token drink from Jaleo at Disney Springs; this isn’t as good, but still enjoyable and interesting in its own way.
You don’t get a lot of Coca-Cola flavor in this, however. There’s a lot happening here.
Rating out of 7: 5
Michelada – $10
Terrapin Cerveza Lager, Clamato, Cholula Hot Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, and Tajín
Part of our review group had never had a Michelada that they actually liked, but we know that people who love this drink really love this drink.
This is not bad, though our group did not all agree. We did enjoy it more than the Micheladas from Disney California Adventure because it’s not as chalky. It’s very easy to drink, and obviously tomato-forward. It basically tastes like carbonated tomato juice, with maybe a little too much Tajín.
Rating out of 7: 3
plaza de Coco Zero-Proof Reviews
La Paloma – $8.50
Lyre’s Agave Blanco, Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit, and Wanderdust Shimmer
We would believe you if you told us there was alcohol in this, just because there’s so much going on. It’s light and refreshing, not syrupy at all. The grapefruit comes through but isn’t overpowering. It’s very drinkable, but you have to like grapefruit.

Overall Thoughts on Plaza de Coco
This is the best dining experience we had aboard the Disney Treasure, and our favorite Disney Cruise Line rotational dining of any ship we’ve ever been on. The incredible show made our entire group teary-eyed and cannot be beat.
This is fantastic, the food is great, and we highly recommend you schedule both Plaza de Coco nights during your cruise to experience both menus.
