Menu

Over at the Mercado de Antojos booth, you’ll find a savory dish, a dessert, and two cocktails! One of the drinks is a returning item from last year’s Earth Eats booth — the Watermelon Cucumber Mojito.

Mercado de Antojos Menu

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

Eats

First up, we grabbed the new Birria Mac & Cheese with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch for $9.

Birria Mac & Cheese

We love a good take on mac and cheese! This new dish is super creamy and cheesy, with the birria being moist and tender. The dish is topped with an onion-cilantro sauce that is very onion-forward and overpowers the other flavors. It was also topped with guacamole, which had a nice, lemony tang. The crumbled tortilla chips on top provided a nice texture difference, leaving us wanting more crunch! For the price, they give you a hefty serving that is definitely sharable, which we appreciate! It was a good dish, but we wish the onion-cilantro sauce wasn’t so heavy on the onion taste.

Next up, we went to the sweet side of the menu and picked up the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake, which is a café de olla-infused tres leches topped with piloncillo chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie. You can snag one for $7.75.

Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake

Calling all coffee lovers! You’ll want to try this new tres leches cake that has the flavors of tiramisu! We loved how this cake had the consistency of tres leches but wasn’t soggy at all. The coffee taste was present but not overwhelming, but we thought they were a little heavy on the chantilly cream. With the consistency of whipped cream and with cinnamon on top, we thought the cream took away from the cake itself. We did love the adorable sugar cookie on top, though!

Isn’t it pretty?

We definitely loved this cake, but maybe we won’t go for all of the chantilly cream.

Drinks

There’s a non-boozy drink on the menu — the Raspberry Horchata made with raspberry, almond and cinnamon syrups, rice pudding, milk, and condensed milk garnished with skewered raspberries. This drink is $7.50.

Raspberry Horchata

This drink did not disappoint! The raspberry taste really comes through and has a perfect level of sweetness. If you love horchata, you have to try this one! We couldn’t taste the almond, but we didn’t mind, considering how balanced the other flavors were. We will be getting this drink again and again!

Returning to the festival this year is the Watermelon Cucumber Mojito, which was available last year at Earth Eats. This year the drink is $18.

Watermelon Cucumber Mojito

The drink is made with white rum, watermelon liqueur, mojito and cucumber syrups, watermelon purée, and lime juice, topped with Topo Chico, and garnished with watermelon and Tajín twist.Last year we found it to be refreshing, even with the Tajin kick.

Watermelon Cucumber Mojito

The watermelon flavor is what you mostly taste, meaning this is the perfect summer drink. There’s just a hint of cucumber, so it only adds a little bit of flavor. However, you do need to be okay with a bit of spice to enjoy it.

OVERALL

We really enjoyed this new food booth this year! The drinks were the stand-out elements, and we think we’re going to be ordering both drinks every time we visit. The Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake was a great surprise, with the coffee flavor and the perfect texture. We weren’t obsessed with Birria Mac & Cheese, but if you try it at the festival, leave us a review in the comments!
