You can now buy Doritos and Fritos at snack stands throughout Disney parks but not from the restaurant where they were invented.
Casa de Fritos was originally located near what’s now Stage Door Café and the Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland, but moved to a larger location due to its popularity. After Frito-Lay’s sponsorship ended, the restaurant became Casa Mexicana sponsored by Lawry’s Foods, and eventually what is now Rancho del Zocalo near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which was originally sponsored by Ortega. It serves the same kind of Mexican-inspired fare such as enchiladas and tacos.
