Disney Imagineers partnered with Disneyland Paris teams and Pixar Animation Studios to create a delicious and immersive experience that includes an amazing menu and special decor and items that celebrate Miguel’s family heritage.
Here are five unique items you’ll only discover at this Coco-inspired restaurant!

Enter the terrace and be greeted by the smiling face of Miguel! He is dressed in traditional mariachi charro and stands proudly as a life-size bronze statue.
The image conjures up memories of the traditional Mexican songs in the movie.

Next, enter the patio, and look up to see the colorful papel picados!
This Mexican tradition introduces guests to the past of the Rivera family inspired by the movie’s opening scene. Almost 200 papel picados were created by Imagineers and are on display in the new restaurant.

Alebrijes (spirit guides to the Land of the Dead) are another Mexican art form that appear throughout the restaurant.
Keep your eyes open for a huge carved and colorful alebrije reminiscent of Dante, Miguel’s spirit guide.

Music and guitars are central themes in Coco, and Héctor’s guitar takes a place of pride and is on display in the back of the room.
There are also notes from pages of his diary!
