Carne Asada: Ancho-Marinated Beef Sirloin with Pasilla Chile Sauce, Grilled Queso Fresco, Nopales Salad, and Chicharron Dust – $10.75
The beef in this dish is perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The grilled queso is thick and pairs perfectly with the queso fresco foam when enjoyed with the steak. The chicharron dust adds to the presentation, but adds nothing flavor-wise. We rate this a 5 out of 7.
*NEW* Croqueta: Chipotle Chicken and Chorizo Croquette in Chipotle Salsa with Chipotle Aioli, Avocado Mousse, and Truffle Oil – $8.00
There was very little of the avocado mousse. This is a spicy dish, one of the spiciest at Walt Disney World. The chicken is tender. The chipotle salsa dominates the palate and the other elements are lost. We rate this a 4 out of 7.
*NEW* Natilla de Maiz: Creamy Corn Custard with Caramelized Sugar – $6.50
It’s like if creamed corn was a dessert. It’s kind of weird. it’s sweet and creamy but the only flavor here is corn. We wouldn’t have this again. We rate this a 2 out of 7.
*NEW* Floridita: Centinela Blanco Tequila ($29/bottle), Citrus Juice, Orange Liqueur, and Grapefruit Soda with a Hint of Aperol ($24/bottle) – $16.50
This tastes like Tang, grapefruit soda, and Aperol. We aren’t Aperol fans. The one Aperol fan among us doesn’t like grapefruit. This drink just wasn’t for us but it wasn’t poor quality. If it sounds like your kind of drink it’s probably worth a try. We rate this a 4 out of 7.
*NEW* Strawberry Fields Margarita: Tromba Blanco Tequila ($41/bottle), Dos Hombres Mezcal ($54/bottle), Strawberry Purée, and Blackcurrant Liqueur – $15.50
This is pretty good. We aren’t mezcal fans but this balances well with the strawberry and blackcurrant. This is one of the better festival cocktails. We rate this a 4 out of 7.
