REVIEW: GOODNIGHT! We Need a Nap After This EPCOT Festival Booth

¡Hola! Greeting from SPAIN, my friends — that is, the Spain Marketplace Booth at the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!

Spain

Even though Spain has a long history at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (having returned after a hiatus in 2017), this Festival Marketplace has some tricks up its sleeve this year in the form of an all-new food menu! Please join us at the Spain Booth as we bring you our reviews of every Food Booth at the 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

Eats

We’re starting with the new Trio de Pintxos comprised of a Jamón (ham) croqueta, pan con tomate (tomato-topped bread), and a tortilla Española (Spanish omelette).

Trio de Pintxos

The trio comes in at $7.25. The croqueta was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a smooth texture similar to mashed potatoes. We could get the ham flavor coming through, as well as something citrusy, like lemon.

Inside the croqueta

The pan con tomate has a nice tomato-y spread on top that’s bright and smooth. The bread was toasted thoroughly to be crusted on the edges and soft in the middle.

Pan con tomate

Then, the tortilla Española was mild in flavor, but held up well enough to be a finger food. It had a chew kind of like scalloped potatoes.

The Spanish omelette on the end

Seafood fans will want to pay attention to the Paella Caldoso for $8.00. This paella features rock shrimp, bay scallops, and smoked mussels!

Paella

The rice has a nice soft texture with a rich seafood flavor underneath, like it was cooked in a seafood broth. The shrimp wasn’t overcooked, but the scallops were a bit on the tough side. The mussels were dry with some chew to them, but it all came together for an overall nice effect.

YUM

The Basque Cheesecake is plated with orange sauce. This sweet treat costs $5.25 and is an eligible item for those participating in the Emile’s Fromage Montage Cheese Crawl.

Basque Cheesecake

The textures and flavors here were absolutely delightful. The cheesecake sticks to your fork with a creaminess without being too crumbly. The citrus flavor is light and bright with bits of orange peel in the sauce that add some extra zing. Very delicious!

DESSERRRRT

What about the drinks?

Drinks

Doesn’t Summer in Spain sound lovely? This new-to-the-Festival cocktail is made with Frozen Simply Lemonade with both Yellow Chartreuse Liqueur and Green Chartreuse Liqueur, and costs $12.50. This had a very tangy, strong lemon flavor to it, so if you’re not into that punchiness, you might want to choose something else to drink. If lemonade is your dream summer drink, this might be for you!

A pour of Quinta del ’67 Garnacha Tintorera is also available for $7.50.

OVERALL

All in all, we really loved this booth! The paella served here is typically a hit with fans, and the trio was a lovely treat for those who want a little variety. Our favorite item was probably that cheesecake, which is definitely a standout dessert!

The food here is pretty heavy, with seafood, rice, and lots of carbs, so you might not want to do this booth during the hottest part of the day (or the part of the day when you’re the most sluggish).

The spread
