Tested these 8/30 thru 9/7 and found them to be great for the most part. A few glitches when entering theme parks, but they have people there ready to help with the problem. Speeds up everything !
Pros:
Don't have to carry anything !Cons:

Quality starts with the product. You can have the best location, the friendliest staff, and the best prices. But if your product is bad then you have nothing. I walked into the Earl of Sandwich wanting to like this place. I really did.
I chose this place for lunch on 8/26. I ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Sandwich and a drink. Unfortunately those sandwich makers that the Earl hired forgot two things. The chicken, and the jerk sauce. All I got was a bunch of peppers between the bread. This and the fact that the drink station is poorly located and very congested along with limited seating just can't make up for the so called "good prices" charged here.
I know this place will never be short of diners looking for a quick cheap meal. But i won't be eating here the next time i go to Downtown Disney.

I reluctantly give this a "yes" rating. A "4" rating should be a no, but I want to give this place the benefit of any doubt I may have.
The food is not on par for an Epcot quick service meal. The menu is limited, and the chips are stale. All in all, you pay too much for what you get. The tacos tasted good, but I got three very small tacos and a basket full of stale tortilla chips for a meal. Tortilla chips are a staple of any Mexican restaurant and they should always be fresh. The staff was friendly and filled my order quickly and accurately.
Seating here is a mess. I've heard they have problems with people needlessly taking up seats during the nightly IllumiNations. But I encountered this problem at 2pm. La Cantina needs to find a way to assure only guests who are dining can enter the seating area. I witnessed many people standing there with their trays of food just waiting for a table to open up. Then when one did I was entertained as the diners made their moves to secure the rare open seat. All the while people who weren't dining and just wanted to sit in the shade were taking up valuable real estate.
Mediocre food and seating is a problem. Maybe this place is worth it if you love Mexican food and have never been here before. But for me, there are too many better choices in Epcot to ever deal with La Cantina again.

We had the "Red Car Trolley" enhancement to the sundae. They still put the waffle cone under the ice cream, which is delicious. The only thing preventing a "10" is the price, although it's not as bad when you split it between two!
Pros:

Had a quick lunch here on a day i was looking for something light to eat. I was able to get a good healthy meal for a reasonable price. There is plenty of seating indoors and out, and the place never got too crowded. Perhaps the out of the way location of this restaurant deters some guests from discovering this place. Service was quick and the staff was very friendly. A good choice if you are looking to get a quick meal that isn't fast food.

SH55 suffers from elevated expectations; unfortunately, the food (at least the steaks) are just "good", not "great". The salads and sides are probably better than the main course, but overall it's not worth the price.

We always get DDP when we come to WDW. We find it so much easier than paying out of our pockets for meals, we try new restaurants and if we don't like the food then we don't feel like we have wasted our money, if we had to pay for the food at the time and never enjoyed it then we would feel like we wasted our money. I do feel like the past 2 years we don't seem to use our mugs as much as we did, not all resorts have hot chocolate, they all seem to have pop and coffee and the last 3 or 4 places we have stopped at we have to pay for the hot chocolate but in other hotels it's free?? We were so far away the last 2 years from the place where you can get refills we just didn't bother going.

The food we ate here was always cooked fresh, was hot and not that bad, not much choice but as a quick grab something to eat it's ok. My child loved the chicken noodle soup, it was a snack credit and she would of lived on it if we had let her.

Check-in about 20 minutes before our ADR and within five minutes our beeper was going off. This was our fist visit and we WILL BE BACK!!! The service was great, drinks were refilled often, and plates were cleared. The only upsetting thing I saw and it was not Disney's fault was a parent allowing their child to come up to the buffet and get their dessert using their hands and carrying their brownies back to their table in their hands. The hostess gave us some recommendations of this to try.
Pros:
food selection, very friendly, helpful CMCons:

We had lunch here as a last minute choice, we walked past it on the way to the pool and just walked in.
The service was friendly, nice staff, the steak was nice, the milkshakes were awful, not as nice as some I have had in other places.
I have tried this place but I don't think I would go back, nothing special.
