A new booth has debuted at this year’s Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival — Mercado de Antojos!
The 2025 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 21st, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat at the Mercado de Antojos booth? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.
Menu
Over at the Mercado de Antojos booth, you’ll find a savory dish, a dessert, and two cocktails! One of the drinks is a returning item from last year’s Earth Eats booth — the Watermelon Cucumber Mojito.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
Eats
First up, we grabbed the new Birria Mac & Cheese with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch for $9.
We love a good take on mac and cheese! This new dish is super creamy and cheesy, with the birria being moist and tender. The dish is topped with an onion-cilantro sauce that is very onion-forward and overpowers the other flavors. It was also topped with guacamole, which had a nice, lemony tang. The crumbled tortilla chips on top provided a nice texture difference, leaving us wanting more crunch! For the price, they give you a hefty serving that is definitely sharable, which we appreciate! It was a good dish, but we wish the onion-cilantro sauce wasn’t so heavy on the onion taste.
Next up, we went to the sweet side of the menu and picked up the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake, which is a café de olla-infused tres leches topped with piloncillo chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie. You can snag one for $7.75.
Calling all coffee lovers! You’ll want to try this new tres leches cake that has the flavors of tiramisu! We loved how this cake had the consistency of tres leches but wasn’t soggy at all. The coffee taste was present but not overwhelming, but we thought they were a little heavy on the chantilly cream. With the consistency of whipped cream and with cinnamon on top, we thought the cream took away from the cake itself. We did love the adorable sugar cookie on top, though!
We definitely loved this cake, but maybe we won’t go for all of the chantilly cream.
Drinks
There’s a non-boozy drink on the menu — the Raspberry Horchata made with raspberry, almond and cinnamon syrups, rice pudding, milk, and condensed milk garnished with skewered raspberries. This drink is $7.50.
This drink did not disappoint! The raspberry taste really comes through and has a perfect level of sweetness. If you love horchata, you have to try this one! We couldn’t taste the almond, but we didn’t mind, considering how balanced the other flavors were. We will be getting this drink again and again!
Returning to the festival this year is the Watermelon Cucumber Mojito, which was available last year at Earth Eats. This year the drink is $18.
The drink is made with white rum, watermelon liqueur, mojito and cucumber syrups, watermelon purée, and lime juice, topped with Topo Chico, and garnished with watermelon and Tajín twist.Last year we found it to be refreshing, even with the Tajin kick.
The watermelon flavor is what you mostly taste, meaning this is the perfect summer drink. There’s just a hint of cucumber, so it only adds a little bit of flavor. However, you do need to be okay with a bit of spice to enjoy it.
OVERALL
We really enjoyed this new food booth this year! The drinks were the stand-out elements, and we think we’re going to be ordering both drinks every time we visit. The Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake was a great surprise, with the coffee flavor and the perfect texture. We weren’t obsessed with Birria Mac & Cheese, but if you try it at the festival, leave us a review in the comments!
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
