My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[Pluto468]

There are lots of new food items at the parks. I'm glad that they are trying to offer healthier options.

Rancho del Zocalo

Shrimp Ceviche - Shrimp, Aguachile Marinade, Salsa Macha, Guacatillo with Tostadas

I think the chips were placed to look like . This was a small but deep bowl. Probably a dozen medium sized shrimp, cucumber, onion, tomato in a very lime marinade. They asked if I wanted chili sauce and I asked for it on the side.

Picture with fork to give size perspective. It was plenty to eat but not so much that I couldn't finish it. It was refreshing to have a light lunch compared to other high fat/carb options in the parks.

That looks great!

Studio Catering
Lomo Saltado Burrito - Peruvian-inspired Lomo Saltado Stir-fry, Shoestring French Fries and Serrano-Lime Rice wrapped in a Warm Flour Tortilla, served with Serrano Hot Sauce

This thing is all over social media and, if you like Peruvian food, it is quite good. It comes with aji verde sauce on the side.



Boardwalk Pizza
Summer Sausage Pizza - Spicy Pork Sausage, Baba Ghanoush, Feta and Roasted Seasonal Vegetables




Market House (aka Starbucks)
Butter Biscuit Cookie - Butter Cookie with Raspberry Jam and White Chocolate

 

[MonocularVision]

The Studio Catering rotating seasonal “Wrap this food in a burrito” item has quickly become my favorite item every time I visit.

This cookie looks great, but is it more 'cookie with a bit of jam on top', or 'cup of jam in a cookie shell'?

My spouse really likes white chocolate and was disappointed to find out it was only a drizzle.

Personally, I thought it tasted like a basic Starbucks shortbread cookie with a small amount of jam on top.

Thanks! I'll try it for sure. I love white chocolate, even if it's just a little.

I would like less jam more white chocolate.

Flo's V8 Cafe

Pastrami Sandwich - Sliced Deli-style Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Pickle Chips, Shredded Lettuce and Mustard on Fresh-sliced Rye Bread, served with choice of Cuties® Mandarin Oranges or Fries

I've read reviews complaining that this was cold. While it wasn't hot pastrami, it wasn't fresh out of the refrigerator either (it isn't like the fat was congealed). The meat was soft and tender, marginally warmer than room temperature with cold cheese, lettuce, and pickles. The bread was very fresh. It is loaded with meat and comes with fries so is a nice sized serving for those who are hungry.

 

[Tinkaboo]

That actually looks quite good and without the cheese, I might be able to eat it!
Thanks...always great to find another option in the parks! That bread looks yummy!

I am so excited to try this. I love rye bread and it looks like it's actually good rye and not dry. Its a really good value for the price too (I think $13.99?)

While this presentation is not as lovely as all the pictures here ( I’d taken a bite before I thought to take a photo ), I wanted to share a new discovery that I made on my last trip — the Matterhorn Puff from Edelweiss Snacks.
It’s a large cream puff “Filled with cheesecake, lemon curd, and fresh blueberries, topped with white chocolate and snow sugar”. I overheard a woman describing this and had to try it. If you like lemon and custardy cheesecake you would like this. I loved it and ended up having several while I was there

I saw it on YouTube this morning and am craving it. Incidentally, Wrightonmainstreet said that her first bite didn't taste at all like lemon or blueberry. She did end up getting a lemon bite and the bluberries were in there. I wondered if the filling wasn't mixed properly. Did you have lemon custard the whole time or was part of the custard plain?

It seemed to vary between lemon and custardy cheesecakey taste, somewhat mixed depending on the bite. I think that maybe it was layered. Not really a lot of blueberries but oh, so good!

It really is!

Oh I hope this is still available in July! This checks all my sugar boxes!

We looked for the cream puff this weekend, but they were out. We'll have to make a point to go earlier in the day on our next visit.

Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree

Barbecue Salad - Chopped Brisket, Romaine & Kale Mixed Greens, Cucumber, Carrots, Corn Rib and Chili Lime Vinaigrette

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

I tried the Humongous Taco Salad from Pym Test Kitchen today.

Taco shell, romaine, chipotle ranch, chicken, corn, bell pepper, cotija, and avocado.

I really enjoyed this and it was a refreshing choice on such a hot day since it’s served cold. The crispy shell was amazing. Slightly spicy. Lots of flavor. I’d definitely get it again! Maybe not enough food if you have a bigger appetite. $14.49.

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

Strawberry Shortcake Macaron, available from the Jolly Holiday. $8.29.

Well folks, this was everything I hoped for and more. I had heard promising reviews about this new treat for the 70th and this is THE ONE.

I find most Disneyland treats to be cute but not great in the taste department. Not this one!

The cake layer on the bottom is so soft. The macaron top is perfectly delicate and crackling. The vanilla butter cream is sweet with a distinct vanilla flavor … not fake. There are flecks of vanilla bean in the butter cream! The strawberry jam is so fresh and sweet, bursting with real strawberry flavor. I even got a slice of strawberry in mine.

I will get this again and again!
