A Bronze Miguel

As you step onto the restaurant’s terrace, you’ll be greeted by a familiar face – Miguel, dressed in traditional mariachi charro attire, standing proudly as a life-size bronze statue. This heartwarming tribute sets the tone for the authentic Mexican experience that awaits inside. And to make your visit even more memorable, expect to hear familiar tunes, including those from traditional Mexican songs and the unforgettable “Remember Me” from the movie’s soundtrack.

Rich, Immersive Decorations

Upon entering the patio, look up to marvel at the colorful papel picados adorning the space. These intricate paper cutouts are inspired by a Mexican tradition and serve to introduce us to the rich history of the Rivera family, just like in the movie’s opening scene. The Imagineers have put their creative talents to work, crafting nearly 200 papel picados inspired by motifs found in Mexican folklore, music, and floral elements. Prepare to be transported to the heart of Mexico!

Alebrijes (Spirit Guides)

Another fascinating aspect of this restaurant is the inclusion of Alebrijes, spirit guides to the Land of the Dead, which significantly influenced both Pixar artists and Imagineers during the restaurant’s design process. You’ll encounter a magnificent carved and colorful alebrije, reminiscent of Dante, Miguel’s spirited companion from the movie, placed near the ordering counter. This delightful addition adds a touch of magic to your dining experience.

Strum Along with Hector

The heart and soul of Miguel’s rediscovered family heritage lie in la Sala de Música, where you’ll find an array of musical instruments. Among them, taking a place of honor, is Héctor’s white guitar with its gold and green hand-crafted details. For authenticity, Pixar shared their original references with Imagineers to ensure that no details were overlooked, preserving the essence of the movie in every corner of the restaurant.

A Tribute to Miguel’s Family

Step into la Sala de Familia to witness a heartfelt tribute to Miguel’s beloved family members. Portraits of these cherished individuals adorn the walls, honoring their memory and preserving their stories for generations to come. As the heart of the family trade, shoemaking takes center stage, with traditional woven fabrics, shoemaker’s tools, and shoe boxes displaying the family brand – a testament to the skill and craftsmanship passed down through generations from Mamá Imelda.

When you visit Disneyland Paris, don’t miss the opportunity to dine at Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia and immerse yourself in the heartwarming world of “Coco.” The meticulous attention to detail and the fusion of Disney magic with Mexican culture promise an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling “un poco loco” in the best possible way.
