Princess does this as well with their nightly buffets. It is great, especially on the Royal/Regal class ships.Royal did a different theme every night. Such as American, British, Italian, Indian, Greek, Asian etc you get the picture.
I feel the same about Mexican food being from California/Arizona. I do like the blue Iguana, Donald’s cantina and the one on Royal. It’s not really Mexican, but you can make a decent bowl or burrito similar to chipotle.I'll agree w/ PP, Food Republic on NCL is amazing. That said I don't expect innovative food on DCL, the majority of their guests don't want it. Way back in 2003 I was on the Magic and ordered Gazpacho...the waited leaned over and quietly told me that it was a cold soup, which led me to beleive he'd had some unhappy guests on previous cruises. Indian food is always a plus and Carnival has a great offering every night as does RCL. I don't want Mexican on a cruise, I'm from California so most likely not going to be happy w/ whatever is served.

Of course, DCL for some reason still won’t open Cabanas/MM up for dinner…
Their attempt at Mexican food in Cabanas is really bad. You’d think they could make decent enchiladas, soft tacos, rice and beans. It’s not that hard. Enchiladas is one of the few things my husband can make and he does a pretty good job.I'm surprised by the notion that decent Mexican food couldn't be served on a cruise. I think there are many dishes that would be fairly easy to mass produce to an acceptable standard. Would it be as good as authentic Mexican food? Of course not, but I can't think of any dish on the ship that would be as good as the real thing. There are many Mexican dishes that aren't particularly complex, but very good. On the other hand, that Mexican restaurant at the Magic Kingdom is pretty terrible, while the one at Disneyland is pretty good for a theme park, so maybe I am wrong and DCL wouldn't be able to pull it off well.

When you get around to trying another cruise line you’ll have the buffet at night as an option. I think you’ll also find the dining room a little less hectic.That's too bad. I don't remember ever trying or seeing Mexican food there, so maybe I just automatically bypassed it based on how it looked. It always surprises me when I get bad Mexican food, because the basic stuff just takes quality ingredients, but isn't that complicated to make. All this talk is making me hungry for good Mexican food.

I have been on Celebrity twice and will say the food is better, that is something Celebrity is known for. I'd also like to add that though I haven't experienced it firsthand, by all accounts the new Festival of Foods (Donald's Cantina) on the Disney Wish serve excellent (by cruise standards) Mexican food. In fact, I have heard from multiple friends that the food in general is much better on the Wish, which gives me some optimism about the Disney Treasure.Nice. We will be sailing Celebrity twice next summer, if all goes as planned, so I am looking forward to it!
Good grief. That’s a ridiculous price for dinner.Very true! Forgot about that, had the best food on the trip at all the amazing port cities for sure! I did have Remy one night for dinner, and still didn't feel like that was worth the high price tag (around $650 for 2). Definitely stick to brunch for either Palo/Remy lol
Those are good points! I too would love some Moroccan, or Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, Persian, etc!! A Hercules-themed Greek eatery on the pool deck would be bomb.
I would love to get great Mexican food on a cruise, but I don’t know if cruise ships are capable of doing anything great. If you are used to authentic Indian or Mexican food you’re probably going to be disappointed with the ships version.
