Lunch at Cabanas Pizza at El Dorado Royale

There are two sit down lunch options at El Dorado Royale.  There is La Isla which serves a Mexican influenced menu and there is La Cabana Pizza.  Thursday's lunch was at Cabana. The menu is pretty simple.  They offer a few different thick crust brick overn pizzas and then depending on the day they offer tacos or some other small bites. I heard from some other guests that they have a bacon wrapped hot dog but that wasn't in the menu for the day we ate. 

They were offering pork, chicken and beef tacos so we two of each to split between us.  

They were served with a slaw that had a dressing close to thousand island. The best taco was the pork.   I think I found where the flavor went from the pork belly at Santa Fe.  This pork was tense and juicy with a simple seasoning that didn't overpower.  When you added some slaw it provided a sweet crunch.  

We also ordered a mushroom pizza and a Mexican pizza.  

Both were very good but the Mexican was the star.  Delicious morsels of chorizo and cheese, surrounded by some pickled jalapenos on top of a pillowy yet crisp crust with just enough char from the brick oven.  And there is something about how eating pizza outside by a pool or ocean improves the flavor.  Maybe that is true with almost every food. The surroundings can definitely add to your enjoyment.
