Magic Kingdom’s Pecos Bill Gets a New Menu

Many of us thought the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure would bring even more changes to Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland. In particular, we were positive that we’d soon be dining on New Orleans delicacies like gumbo and beignets. While that could still happen, it won’t be anytime soon. That’s because Pecos Bill, the prime candidate for a restaurant makeover, has an all-new menu starting today. Beignets are nowhere to be found.

That’s cool. We can wait, especially when the new “create-your-own” menu looks so promising.

“These new options are filled with Tex-Mex flavors inspired by the American Southwest. First, kick off your dining experience by picking a base – Steamed Tamale, Rice Bowl, Nacho Bowl, or Southwest Caesar Salad – followed by one of three delicious proteins – Citrus-Chipotle Chicken, Green Chili Pork, or Coca-Cola Cherry Braised Beef. If you’re looking for some extra goods, you can double your protein portion or add a second one for an additional charge!”

In addition to bowls, customers can also choose from à la carte items, including a hamburger, flatbread, and BBQ fries. Desserts include a Sweet Corn Mousse and Horchata Verrine. Let’s look at the complete menu.
