The Darkest Day

So, last week something really terrible happened. I’ve tried to let it go, but I’m truly, totally, completely crushed. 

La Cava de Tequila took the flautas off the menu.

This. Is. A. Disaster. I don’t want to say that the La Cava flautas were my sole reason for going to the World Showcase, but sitting down and relaxing with margaritas and several plates of flautas was definitely high on my list of Favorite Things to Do in WDW. And despite all the fabulous places to dine in WDW, the thing I was most looking forward to tasting again was those flautas – those perfectly portioned, snack from the heavens, flautas. And just like that, gone. It’s like finding out the truth about Santa Claus, only now I am sad and hungry.

As far as I can tell, the flautas aren’t on the new San Angel Inn menu. Or on the La Hacienda menu. They vanished - poof! - like so many other Epcot classics. Maybe the Dreamfinder is enjoying one right now while sitting in a SeaCab.

And La Cava didn’t even have the decency to replace my beloved flautas with anything else. Chips and guacamole? Shrimp cocktail? These are not plates befitting the punch that those margaritas carry. With no flautas in my belly to soak up the booze, I can make no promises for my behavior. I might steal a sombrero on the way out just to prove a point. Heck, I may even try this. Just because. YOU MADE ME DO IT.

I guess I’m just supposed to wander the World Showcase, stumbling around from one too many blood orange margaritas, flauta-less. And don’t even get me started on the Missing Tortuga Tavern Tacos debacle. Those wounds are just beginning to heal.
