CAUTION: Don’t read this on an empty stomach!
The 2023 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disneyland Resort and we’re checking it ALL out. From now through April 25th, you can dine on some tasty eats and drinks, watch unique entertainment, and much more. If you’re wondering just what you can eat at the Garlic Kissed booth, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.
Menu
Over at the Garlic Kissed booth, you’ll find a variety of available items. There are two returning eats, but two new drinks here too!
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
Eats
First up, we grabbed the ever-popular Carbonara Mac and Cheese for $8.50. This is one we’ve had in the past but we continue to come back to it because it’s just that good! It was cheesy, crunchy, rich, and had tons of flavor thanks to the garlic and the bacon.
If you’re a mac and cheese aficionado or just can’t get enough garlic, give this one a try.
We also grabbed the Grilled Top Sirloin with roasted garlic-Gruyere smashed potatoes and black garlic chimichurri — that’s quite the mouthful! This is also a returning dish, but we didn’t find ourselves loving it as much this time around — it had a pretty spicy kick to it! If you’re a spice lover, you might find this one a hit. We did really enjoy the mashed potatoes!
Let’s find out what you can whet your whistle with here.
Drinks
For drinks at this booth, we tried the NEW Guava Lychee Mule for $17. It’s made with Vodka, Guava Nectar, Ginger and Lychee Syrups, Lemon Juice, topped with Guava and Grapefruit Hard Cider, and garnished with a Lemon Wheel.
This was super refreshing — we loved that it wasn’t too sweet and was more on the tart side. We tasted a lot more grapefruit than we did guava or lychee though. We’d definitely get this one again.
We also got the NEW Raspberry Limoncello Ade for $16. It’s got Limoncello, grapefruit liqueur, house-made mint syrup, raspberry syrup, and lemon juice. If you like tropical drinks, this one is for you! It reminded us of Hawaiian Punch — it was pretty sugary and sweet and not too strong.
You can also pick up red or green grapes glow charms here for $6.25.
OVERALL
The Garlic Kissed booth typically doesn’t disappoint, and this year was no different! The mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy, the grilled sirloin wasn’t our personal favorite but would still make a tasty snack if you’re after some spice, and there are a few different cocktails here depending on what you’re looking for!
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
