Sandwiched between Frontierland and Fantasyland’s Fantasy Faire, Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante may be slightly tucked away, but it’s a staple for anyone who loves some solidly tasty Mexican food. This little oasis serves everything from tacos to burritos to carne asada fries, which guests can enjoy in a setting filled with touches like quiet fountains, colorful painted tiles, and hanging greenery overhead.
A staple quick-service restaurant at Disneyland Park since the park first opened, Rancho del Zocalo (which was previously Casa Mexicana and, before that, Casa de Fritos) is steeped in history despite welcoming its first guests in 2001. In fact, this dining spot holds a special place in history: It’s where Doritos were invented!
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante Location
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante officially sits in Frontierland, though its back half connects right into Fantasyland via a walkway to Fantasy Faire. You’ll find its entrance next to the Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition.
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante Menu
Classic Mexican dishes are what you’ll find at Rancho del Zocalo, which serves lunch and dinner daily. Here, the menu is familiar – especially if you’re well-versed in Mexican cuisine – but not too spicy or adventurous. It caters to California tastes, but there are options for picky eaters of every age, too.
In addition to burritos, tacos, and bowls, Rancho del Zocalo also adds special seasonal offerings to its menu throughout the year. Big holidays and resort-wide celebrations like Plaza de la Familia and the holidays bring new additions that are always crowd-pleasers.
And if you love Mexican desserts like flan, this is a great place to grab something sweet (for kids or adults, of course!)

Is Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante Kid-Friendly?
With a spacious (and plenty shaded) outdoor dining area and a quick, efficient counter service setup, Rancho del Zocalo is a perfectly kid-friendly restaurant in Disneyland. If you’re searching for a place that’ll please the whole family, the menu here is also a guest favorite – especially when it comes to seasonal specialties.
As long as your kids are okay with simple, straightforward Mexican food, they’ll easily find something to enjoy here. And for more adventurous little ones (and adults), Rancho del Zocalo offers more flavorful bowls, burritos, and plates of classics, making it both filling and easy to please any taste.
The casual atmosphere here is one of the reasons it’s always busy, too. Little ones of every age can let their wiggles out, take a break from waiting in line, and be a little noisy while dining here. The outdoor dining space is always lively and full of families, so no one will bat an eye if your kids are little hangry, chatty, or busy during mealtime.
