We’re heading to this Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival food booth for one reason, and one reason ONLY.

Garlic Kissed Booth

The 2025 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 21st, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat at the Garlic Kissed booth? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Over at the Garlic Kissed, you won’t find a robust menu. But what you will find are a few interesting drinks and a fun take on mac and cheese you don’t see often. But is it worth the cost? We’re about to find out!

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

Here, you can grab the Sirloin Gruyére Mac & Cheese this year for $9. This is made with Black Garlic Chimichurri and Garlic Butter Crunch.

Sirloin Gruyére Mac & Cheese

This is a new dish this year, and unfortunately, it just didn’t hit for us. It came with four big chunks of sirloin and they were all dry and tough. The mac and cheese had a super cheesy flavor and smooth consistency, and the chimichurri was on the mild side for our liking. That said, the dish had a good garlic and tangy flavor, but we weren’t a fan of all the flavors together.

Not great, in our opinion

This is certainly not your average mac and cheese, but we really think it could have been much better — even the ladies sitting next to us agreed that it just fell flat!

Drinks

For drinks at this booth, you can grab the returning Guava Lychee Mule for $17.50. 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.

Guava Lychee Mule

We tried this cocktail last year and thought it 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.

Also on the beverage menu is the Huckleberry-Citrus Cooler for $7.

Huckleberry Citrus Cooler (2024)

This is a non-alcoholic option with Huckleberry and agave syrups, grapefruit soda, lemon, and orange juices, and Gold Peak Black Tea garnished with an orange wedge. We really love how delicious and refreshing this is! You get a nice tart lemonade flavor, but it’s still on the sweeter side, so both flavors balance each other out.

OVERALL

Overall, we think that the drinks at this booth are solid but aren’t absolute standouts, but the food really falls flat. We don’t suggest going out of your way to stop by this booth necessarily, but if you’re looking for a refreshing drink, it may be a good place to stop. This has been a hit for us in past years so we’re sad to see it fall so far, but we’re crossing our fingers it’ll rise up once again next year!
