Paradise Garden Grill is serving up special festival dishes again this year at the DCA Food & Wine Festival! Let’s check ’em out.
The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some delicious eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat Paradise Garden Grill this year? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.
Menu
Let’s take a look at the festival items at Paradise Garden Grill! This year’s menu features a variety of dishes, including Pork Chile Verde Chalupas, Aguachile Loaded Chips, and Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
Eats
First up, we grabbed the new Pork Chile Verde Chalupas for $14.99. This is comprised of two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco.
WOW! This totally blew us away! The taco shell was unlike any other one we’ve ever had — it was soft and chewy in the best way, and paired with the perfectly seasoned pork, the flavors just explode in your mouth. The pork has a bit of a kick to it, but the lettuce, tomato, and lime are a nice way to even it out. The rice and beans were nothing super special, but were solid, so overall, this was a fantastic dish.
Next up, we tried the Aguachile Loaded Chips for $13.49. This dish is zesty chips topped with lime-cooked shrimp, fresh cucumbers, and red onion with aguachile salsa.
Each chip is coated perfectly in seasoning, which we really loved, and the agua chili salsa has layers of flavor. It’s got a chili powder flavor that gives it a kick, but you also get a level of salsa verde in there as well. There are so many flavors, and this also explodes in your mouth, especially with the onion and cucumber cooling things down a bit. The shrimp adds an extra flavor without being too briny, and with that added lime you can sprinkle on top, it’s actually refreshing on a hot day!
Finally, for something sweet, you can get the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake for $8.50, which is also available at the Mercado de Antojos booth.
OVERALL
If you’re not opposed to spice, this is absolutely a location you NEED to check out! In fact, we had both of these items on our best of the fest list, so when we suggest it to be high on your list, we mean it 100%. Be sure you’ve got some water with you, and get ready for tons of flavor.
That’s it for this spot, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
