The Smiling Crocodile — Restaurant in Bay Lake

Great eating option in Animal Kingdom. There are many options to eat at Animal Kingdom. The Flame Tree Barbecue, Harambe Market, Pandora Canteen and on and on. Many of these places now require you to make reservations or complete the mobile order before arriving or entering their locations. This location is an excellent option that does not require any of that. It is a small stand-alone building located outside of Dino-Land, just toward the Asia part of the park along the walkway next to the FlameTree Barbeque eating area.

The flavors were really good though! The corn tortillas didn’t fall apart, so they seemed fresh. Each of our meals came with chips and salsa. The chips were crispy and the salsa was delicious!

✨Service - the woman who took our order was friendly and answered our questions. The line did take about 20min to get through 3 people in front of us, so we felt like that was reasonable.

✨Hours - they are only...

The ONLY thing making the chicken tacos edible was the chipotle sauce I asked for on the side so I had plenty to drown it in. The chicken had taste and texture of a frozen reheated chicken meat such as john souls… not good at all. Salsa on the side that came with chips tasted like a bottled, very vinegary store bought salsa (like pace picante)—don’t expect a fresh made flavor or cilantro. Corn tortillas were not grilled or fried. No sauteed onions or warm cheese to goo it together and no cilantro. These are not real street tacos....
