Pecos Bill’s Rustles Up Controversy with Unexpected Menu Change

If you’re a fan of Tex-Mex and find yourself at Disney World, chances are you’ll make your way to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. Nestled in the rustic ambiance of Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, this quick-service eatery has been a staple for those seeking a taste of the Southwest. The menu, featuring staples like tacos, nachos, fajitas, and customizable bowls, offers a versatile dining experience that caters to nearly every palate.

However, a recent change has left some regulars less than pleased. It appears that black beans, a key ingredient for many, have vanished from the menu, replaced silently by pinto beans. This shift might seem minor to some, but for aficionados of the specific, earthy taste and smoother texture of black beans, this is a significant switch.

This change is part of a broader trend at Pecos Bill’s, which has seen the disappearance of beloved features such as the customizable toppings bar. This self-serve buffet of sorts, allowing guests to pile on lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and more, was a highlight for many. It provided a personalized dining experience unique in the fast-paced environment of theme park dining. Sadly, the toppings bar did not return after the park’s reopening post-pandemic closures, leaving guests nostalgic for the days of heaping extras on their dishes.

As with all changes, feedback from visitors will likely determine if this new bean swap becomes permanent or if black beans make a triumphant return. Until then, guests will have to adjust their expectations and perhaps find new ways to enjoy their favorite Tex-Mex dishes, pinto beans and all.
