People come to this next food studio at the Festival of the Arts because it’s Encanto-themed, and who can resist that? But they STAY because of the super tasty eats and drinks.

We’re live at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, checking out the food studios, artistic performances, merchandise, and more. There’s a LOT going on, but don’t let it overwhelm you. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know before your visit. Let’s go to Vibrante & Vívido Encanto Cocina to try some returning snacks and a NEW drink!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Chorizo and Potato Empanada for $6.75. This dish is returning from last year, and it was so good it made our Best of the Fest list. This is also aWonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine Item! It’s also DDP Snack Eligible. In 2023, we really enjoyed the kick of spice that this snack brought! But how does it compare in 2025?

This year, the spice is still there! This is one of the spicier foods you’ll find at Disney World, so if you like heat, you’ll enjoy this. It has heat AND flavor, so it’s a great snack option. However, if you don’t like spice, you’ll want to steer away from from it.

Next up is another returning menu item: the Passion Fruit-filled Mango Cheesecake for $5.25. This artistic dessert is made with coconut-pineapple cake, dragon fruit gelée, and dragon fruit-strawberry sauce. This treat is also DDP Snack Eligible, too. Okay, so as you can see, this LOOKS like art. It was surprisingly tart last year, but let’s see how the 2025 version tastes.

This is really creamy and really delicious.It has a well rounded fruitiness to it, but it is really fruity and really tropical. The flower is edible, which is fun for an artistic dish. It’s a high quality cheesecake, but the passion fruit flavor is very strong. It’s not overly acidic, which is good, so even if you don’t normally like passion fruit for its acidity, you might still like this dessert.

Drinks

In terms of drinks on this menu, we got the NEW Layered Tropical Berry Smoothie.

You can get this cool and refreshing drink made with layers of wild berry, piña colada, and strawberry. You can grab it as a non-alcoholic mocktail for $5.00, or get it with Sailor Jerry Rum to kick it up a notch for $14.50.

We tried the non-alcoholic version, which was not really a “smoothie;” it’s a slushy, and it was primarily strawberry flavored. It was super super sweet. Kids will probably really love this, and the souvenir cup it comes in is very cute and makes for a fun souvenir! However, the white chocolate on top was very hard to bite through.

Also available at this booth is the Collective Arts Guava Dream Blonde Ale if you’re more in the mood for a beer.

OVERALL

The Chorizo and Potato Empanada will likely be one of our favorites of the festival this year, and we bet the smoothie will be a hit with the kids! This booth is certainly one you don’t want to miss during the Festival of the Arts.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
