My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[MAGICFOR2]

It wasn't that great, as alcoholic drinks go. The pink and white one (I forget what it was called, it had strawberries and pina colada mix in it) was unbelievable, though.

On the upside, now I have a glowy "ice cube".

At WDW they call it a PinaColava Just found this thread - YUMMM

My 8-year-old daughter's favorite this past week were the chicken skewers from Bengal Barbecue. We hit Disneyland around 2pm on Sunday the 17th after driving 6.5 hours from Tucson. We ended up driving straight through so I was starving.

My DD really wanted a mickey pretzel and we had just gotten off of Jungle Cruise so we went to Bengal Barbecue. Of all my years going to Disneyland I have never tried the skewers. It was so good. I made my daughter take a small bite and she really liked it. She ended up talking about it all day. At dinner time I asked her what she wanted and she said "more of that chicken".

So we grabbed a pineapple juice for her and pineapple float for me (another first for me...what have I been eating all these years?). We also got 3 chicken skewers to split. My favorite quote from the trip is when my daughter said "I am in chicken heaven!". We made it back there for lunch one more time during the trip per my daughters request.

"I am in chicken heaven!" Where is the Tag Fairy????

Tonight we went to DL for a few hours. We ate at Cafe Orleans in NOS. Dfi had the seafood crepes and dinner salad. He said the crepes were a little salty. I had the Ratatoule and dinner salad. I thought they both were wonderful. The polenta on top of the Ratatoulle was delish and the veggies were fresh and yummy. Great marinara sauce. The dinner salads were nice. But any salad with candied pecans in it is A-OKAY in my book! We usually eat at the Rancho del Zocolo next to Thunder Mountain RR. The food is always yummy there. That is my little foodie report

This is from Hooke's Point. The food was super good and my chicken was so juicy!
My chicken - I swapped the mushroom risotto for the spinach risotto (although it ended up being broccoli ) it was very good!

DH's scallops - he swapped the risotto for mashed potatoes - he said it was very good too

The ice cream they brought us to celebrate our anniversary

The bar in the resturant

Can anyone tell me if there are still beignets available at DTD? We bought them for breakfast in 2004 - I think it might have been an offshoot of the Jazz Kitchen? No one seems to mention it here on this thread - just the ones available at the Orleans cafe (am I right about this?) - so I thought maybe the other place closed. Help a beignet-loving-girl out?!

They were still available in March of 2007 and as far as I can find online they are still there. http://www.rbjazzkitchen.com/gen_info.php
this is their website.

It's been awhile since the last food pic. Anyone have anything new to post??

A turkey leg and chimichanga. Yum.

yummy... those look so good right now. I really can't wait to get down there now.

What is a chimichanga??? A turkey leg I have heard of...

 

[bonofreak]

Is that a chimichanga? It looks to me like a tamale and brother, if they have tamales at Disneyland, this will be one happy camper!

 

[jemilah]

a chimichanga is usually a fried burrito, that looks like a tamale to me too.

 

[Denton]

I know it looks like a tamale, but it is a chimichanga. I think the corn husk adds to the confusion.

This photo was taken at the turkey/chimichanga cart in the hub. There's also a cart in Frontierland near the Mark Twain dock and another one near the Matterhorn next to the old Motor Boat area.

 

[bonofreak]

Thank you for clearing that up, Denton. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. I LOVE tamales and you are right, it was that cornhusk that really had me thinking TAMALE!!!! I do love chimichangas, too however. Was it a good one?
