Because the Disney Treasure sails for 5-7 night itineraries and guests dine at some restaurants twice, the Plaza de Coco restaurant offers two different menus. The live entertainment is also different, with the first night focused on “La Familia.”
The Plaza de Coco interior is inspired by the town of Santa Cecilia and the Rivera’s shoe shop from “Coco.” During the “La Familia” show, guests are treated to musical performances by Miguel and his (living) family.
Most menu items are included in the cost of the voyage. Alcoholic and other specialty beverages have an additional cost.

Abuelita Elena’s Shrimp Diabla
Sautéed Garlic Shrimp, Sliced Fingerling Potatoes, Mild Chili-Chipotle Sauce, Cilantro, Pickled Red Onion, Toasted Birotes
This also has a nice kick. The chili-chipotle sauce is labeled “mild” but this might be spicier than some expect. There are four shrimp, which are cooked to perfection and not fishy. You can order as much as you want but it’s a decent sized serving anyway.

Toasted Pumpkin Seed, Garbanzo Bean “Hummus”
Pumpkin Seed, Garbanzo Bean, Orange, Lime, Roasted Garlic, Cucumber, Jicama, Bolillos
The included bread is not fresh but it’s good. It’s a bit oily and very garlicky. The hummus is excellent. We love the flavor, which we can really only describe as tasting like garbanzo beans. It’s well seasoned.

Gemelli Pasta
Roasted Sun-dried Tomato, Baby Spinach, Ripped Basil, Lemon Zest, Black Pepper, Burrata Cheese, Olive Oil
Luisa’s Pollo Asado
Michoacán Citrus-spiced Roasted Chicken, Cilantro Rice, Tostones, Serrano-Tomatillo Salsa
Red Capsicum and Green Parsley Grilled Snapper
Fried Yucca, Refried Beans, Spinach, Pico de Gallo, Lime
There isn’t a ton of flavor from the red capsicum or the snapper. The snapper is a little tough but it’s all right. The yucca fries are excellent. Still, it’s a relatively bland and forgettable dish.

Butternut Squash Enchilada
Pinto Bean, Baby Spinach, Chihuahua Cheese, Roasted Corn, Red Guajillo Chile Sauce
This is a vegetarian dish. The sauce brought a little bit of spice to the enchilada which was sorely needed. Disney is afraid to serve too much spice to people.
It’s a little doughy, unfortunately. The flavors are all there. The beans are perfectly cooked.

Pasilla-Brown Sugar Rubbed Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Whipped Boniato, Chard, Crisp Taro Chips, Maple Jus
This is relatively small, but size doesn’t matter much when you can order as many entrées as you want. The rub is great and brings a lot of flavor to the pork’s exterior. Unfortunately, the pork is a little dry. If it was more tender and juicy, this would be one of the best dishes. The mash is good.

Plant-Based Tacos
Wild Mushrooms, Chiles Toreados, Apple-Chayote Slaw, Cashew Crema, Pico de Gallo, Soft Flour Tortillas
This is the only vegan dish on the menu (of course, you can ask to customize other dishes or just get sides, if you need). It has a lot of slaw, maybe too much. The mushrooms are quite good. They’re tender. But a little overpowered by the slaw. It’s a solid vegan option, which is good when there aren’t a lot of vegan options.

Dessert Reviews
Tía Gloria’s Flan de Queso
Cream Cheese Flan, Dried Apricot and Pineapple Florentine Snap
The apricot and pineapple snap is interesting. It’s like a crispy caramel treat with natural apricot and pineapple flavors. The snap comes sitting on whipped cream. The cake is really good but it’s too rich. It’s like eating a block of caramel cream cheese. The whipped cream helps offset the richness but it’s still too overpowering.

Mexican Chocolate Tart
Spiced Chocolate Créme, Caramel Pecan Nuts, Chocolate Glaze
We weren’t sure about this at first bite — we mostly got a chalkiness with a dark chocolate flavor. Then the spice kicked in. It’s a delayed burn but it’s excellent. The dark chocolate flavor would be unremarkable by itself. The spiciness mixed with the sweetness is amazing.

Warm Chocolate Tres Leches
Three Milk-soaked Coconut Cake, Caramel Sauce, Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
This is the same excellent dulce de leche ice cream from the night 2 sundae. The cake has a profound coconut flavor. It’s light and moist. The ice cream brings it to another level with a milky, creamy flavor. We love it.

Mamá Coco’s Coffee Créme (No Sugar Added)
Lady Fingers, Kahlua Espresso, Mascarpone Cheese
For a no sugar added dessert, this is pretty good. It’s light and airy. You get an almond cake flavor from the lady fingers in the base. You do have to like coffee — it’s a rich flavor like you just drank espresso. The cheese is rich, too.

Drink Reviews
Plaza de Coco Cocktail Reviews
Batanga – $10
Código Mezcal Artesanal, Lime, Coca-Cola, and Fizzy Candy
This cocktail is complicated and weird, but good. It reminds us of the Token drink from Jaleo at Disney Springs. This isn’t as good but it’s still enjoyable and interesting. However, you don’t get a lot of Coca-Cola flavor.
Rating out of 7: 5
Michelada – $10
Terrapin Cerveza Lager, Clamato, Cholula Hot Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, and Tajín
The Michelada isn’t bad, although there were disagreements among our group. We enjoyed it more than the Micheladas from Disney California Adventure, which are too chalky. It’s easy to drink and tomato-forward. There might be too much Tajín.

Plaza de Coco Zero-Proof Reviews
La Paloma – $8.50
Lyre’s Agave Blanco, Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit, and Wanderdust Shimmer
If you told us there was alcohol in this, we would believe you, because there’s so much going on. It’s light, refreshing, and very drinkable. You do have to like grapefruit, which is the strongest flavor, though not overpowering.

Overall Thoughts on Plaza de Coco
This was a good meal. We liked night 2 better, particularly the entrées, but the majority of the 1st night desserts are exceptional. And we would book another cruise just for the chicken tortilla soup. We’re impressed with Plaza de Coco and it will definitely be a favorite for Disney Cruise Line rotational dining.
