Best places to eat in Disneyland and California Adventure and DTD

[BroadwayHermione5]

Hi all,


So we have never been to DLR (well my mom was at DL as a teen long before DTD was a thing).

Where do you recommend eating across both parks and DTD. I’m hoping the Buffalo chicken pretzel returns to Avengers Campus (when I checked the app it was not Buffalo chicken but a 3 corn Elote (my apologies for misspelling) that also looks very tasty.)

We are somewhat picky. My mom is allergic to red wine, I have severe acid reflux issues (tho I can manage that and do when I’m in WDW) and my dad is a bigger guy who needs portions that aren’t tapas (basically give him something substantial).


Send those recommendations our way please and thank you!

The portions at Flo's V8 are huge.

Plaza Inn has a fun character breakfast buffet in the mornings, but is a counter service place for the afternoon/evenings. They also have filling portions.

One of my favorites is bengal bbq, but be advised the skewers are more appetizer size imo - they wouldn't make a full meal for me, but I get several kinds and that works well.

Rancho del Zocalo has nice portion sizes as well, and my family always ends up there for at least one meal.

We also enjoy Wine Country Trattoria, but YMMV as there are some who haven't cared for it.

Black Tap in DTD has great portions and some of the best burgers I've had at Disney.

Gumbo to go at Jazz Kitchen is a favorite of mine.

Bengal BBQ has my heart already between the hummus and breadstick

Thank you all for these amazing suggestions so far! We are very excited to see what DL has to offer! Also whoever suggest Tortilla Jo’s is my family’s new hero because that looks so good!

We're pooh sized here, and we had large portions at Catal in DTD. And the food was tasty.

The hummus was really tasty! I was so surprised. I was afraid to try the green one. My dad thought it was avocado based.
