Delaware North's Paseo restaurant ranks No. 9 on Yelp's Best New Restaurants of 2024; Mexican concept opened in May 2024 at Disneyland Resort's Downtown Disney District

December 6, 2024 (press release) –

Paseo, an elevated Mexican dining concept from Delaware North’s Patina Restaurant Group, has secured the No. 9 spot on Yelp’s prestigious “Best New Restaurants of 2024” list. Situated in the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort in California, Paseo opened its doors in May 2024 and has quickly garnered widespread acclaim, including this most recent nationwide ranking.

The restaurant, created in collaboration with celebrated chef Carlos Gaytán, has been praised for its innovative approach to Mexican cuisine. The full writeup from Yelp is included below.

Paseo’s Carlos Gaytán has the distinction of being the first Mexican-born chef to receive a Michelin star, and that pedigree can be tasted in every dish at this upscale Mexican spot in the Downtown Disney District (a shopping and dining center just outside Disneyland). “Our vision was to establish Paseo as a place where both locals and visitors could feel at home, savoring dishes that tell a uniquely personal story,” says John Kolaski, president of Patina Restaurant Group, which operates the spot with Chef Carlos.

One such story can be tasted in Mama’s Cochinita Pibil, a slow-roasted pork shank served with beans and homemade tortillas. As the story goes, Chef Carlos’ mother was unsatisfied with his traditional cochinita pibil and made one of her own that incorporated pineapple vinegar and guajillo peppers. “Of course, it was much better,” he says. From the smoky mezcal in the signature Maya-Tai cocktail to the duck leg carnitas on Paseo Waffles for brunch, look for clever Mexican twists on favorites across the expansive menu. 

Yelpers say: “The best Mexican food in the state, wrapped in a beautifully designed interior. The entire dinner was absolute perfection on the palate. [Our meal included] Mejillones, mussels soaked in a citrusy, lemony sauce served with a side of sourdough. Could have sat and dipped [the bread] into this sauce all night and been completely satisfied. Overall, a fantastic experience.” —Yelp Elite Ann L.
