Disney4me Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Does this booth live up to the spiciness of its name?? We had to find out for ourselves! 2025 Peppers Cali-Ente 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 Peppers Cali-Ente booth? Well, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts. Menu As the name suggests, the theme of the menu at Peppers Cali-Ente is all about bringing the heat! This spot serves up two food items, plus a specialty cocktail. 2025 Peppers Cali-Ente Menu Now, let’s get to tasting! Eats First up, we’ve got the Shrimp Papas Locas, made with cheddar-bacon potatoes with jalapeño cheese sauce and spicy shrimp featuring Tajín chipotle sauce. You can snag it for $9.25. We’re SO glad to see this dish returning! It had such GREAT flavors! This year, though, well, you know how they say if you can’t say something nice about something, don’t say anything at all? Seriously, though, the bacon in the potatoes tasted like that fake smokey flavor that really overpowered everything else. NOT a fan. Shrimp Papas Locas Next up, we’ve got a new item. The Corn Chip Chili Pie with seasoned IMPOSSIBLE Beef, spicy cheese sauce, tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and cream. You can pick one up for $8. Now, THIS totally made up for the previous dish. First, although it says the cheese sauce is spicy, we didn’t really think it was. This is our idea of comfort food and makes us think of the good old days of the snack shack at the baseball field. We did think it was interesting that IMPOSSIBLE beef was used on this dish, but the cheese sauce still used real cheese, so this isn’t 100% plant-based. Corn Chip Chili Pie Now, let’s see how the cocktail stacks up! Drinks The festival drink at Peppers Cali-Ente this year is the Pickle Whiskey Sour Cocktail. It’s a new drink made with Bourbon, pickle juice, lime juice, and sweet and sour, garnished with Tajín Chile Lime Sauce, Tajín, and a pickle spear for $18.25. Let’s just say…we had our doubts — and rightfully so. Although if you love pickles and you drink pickle juice straight, you may love this. Because that’s what it’s like. Pickle Whiskey Sour Cocktail We did like the crispness of the pickle spear and the Tajin rim added a nice flavor. This is certainly one of the more unique items at the festival, but Disney, really, WHAT IS UP WITH THIS OBSESSION WITH PICKLES? Overall This booth was basically a hit and two misses for us, but we do like that the pickle cocktail is pretty unique and not like something you’ll find elsewhere. However, if we visited this booth again, we’d just grab that corn chip chili pie and call it a day. That’s really the only thing that wowed us. 2025 Peppers Cali-Ente dishes That’s it for this booth, but wait, there’s MORE! Click here to see FULL reviews of EVERY. SINGLE.
