Disney4me Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 So, you’ve heard us mention Food Trucks quite a few times here on the DFB, and typically we’re referring to the four Disney Food Trucks most often found at Exposition Park in Downtown Disney’s West Side (though we’ve also had the chance to visit the Truckeria Rolling Taco Truck when it has appeared on occasion).Well, today we’re visiting four more Food Trucks… but they’re not the ones you’re accustomed to seeing (like Fantasy Fare or Namaste Cafe), nor are they in the place you’re used to hearing them mentioned. Nope… we’re excited to bring you news of the Food Trucks that can currently be found on the weekends at the Causeway of Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts!Swan and Dolphin CausewayI say “currently” because — as is pretty common for food trucks of any sort — schedules (as well as locations –what with being mobile and all ) are apt to change. And these food trucks are actually in a testing phase as well. So while we’ll list some info about hours and availability with every truck below, please note thateverything regarding availability is subject to change.And with that out of the way , let’s take a walk along the Causeway!On our visit, we headed towards the pool and found Java’s Coffees and Sweets in the basketball court area. It’s currently operating on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 to 10 pm (great news for those needing a caffeine kick long after the Java Bar inside the Swan is closed).Java’s Coffee & Sweets CartIf you’ve ever visited the Java Bar, the truck’s menu consisting of espresso beverages (served hot or iced) and a few sweet snacks will look very familiar to you. The only addition to the menu is the Italian Ice Push Pop, offering a cold blast of cherry, strawberry, mango, or lemon on a sweltering day.Java’s Coffees & Sweets – Coffee MenuJava’s sweets menuNext up? The one and only Juan and Only! During our visit, Juan and Only was located right at the entrance to the Swan Resort from the Causeway.Juan and Only Food CartThe cute pepper lights around the window make this one easy to spot during its current nighttime hours of 8 – 11:30 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.Juan and Only Cast Member behind the windowThe specialty is Mexican fare, featuring tacos, nachos, and margaritas along with a few other cold beverages.Juan and Only menuNow, really… when have you ever known us to pass up a margarita?Juan and Only Margarita MenuThey are prepared here on the rocks (and of course can be made with or without salt on the rim). And, I gotta say, the use of Cointreau — and the fact that they use fresh lime juice — is a pretty sweet upgrade!Juan and Only MargaritaTacos are ordered in a “build your own” fashion with the choice of chicken, pork or beef on soft flour tortillas along with your selected toppings.Juan and Only Tacos MenuNaturally, we went with every topping in the house… I mean, truck ;). You can also mix and match the meats, so we went with one Adobo Chicken and one Shredded Beef. These babies came packed to the brim, served with a side of chips and pico de gallo.Juan and Only TacosJuan and Only Tacos CloseupThe organic chicken adobo seasoning provided some great flavor, while the beef was super tender and juicy.Juan and Only TacosNachos are also made-to-order with your choice of the chicken, pork, or beef. You’ll read on the menu that they are prepared with pico de gallo, jalapeños and nacho cheese. Since everything is made fresh, though, feel free to ask for them to be customized to your liking.Juan and Only Nachos MenuHere’s our heaping platter of Pork Nachos, another appealingly fresh choice. What’s cool here is the layering of the nachos, with the chips on the bottom receiving garnishes of their own, as opposed to everything in one layer on the top. And check out that beautiful Plastic Cheese, since we won’t be seeing the likes of that as much in other areas around Disney World.Juan and Only NachosA little further stroll down the Causeway brought us to our final two trucks, starting with American Dreams.American Dreams CartCurrently open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30-4:00 pm, the all-American menu features an assortment of hot dogs, burgers, kebabs, and beverages, and even includes a few craft beers.American Dreams MenuAnd finally, we arrive at The Oasis. Its focus on frozen drinks, beer, and caipirinhas was a natural fit parked right by the pool.The OasisThe Oasis Frozen Drink MenuThe Oasis Caipirinhas MenuThe seating nearby was limited to lounge chairs, but you can’t really argue with a pool view.Seating by The OasisFrozen Drinks choices include Pina Coladas and Strawberry or Mango Daquiris. But since nothin’ says “pool time” quite like a Pina Colada…The Oasis Pina ColadaIt was simply delicious; creamy and thick with a strong emphasis on the rum and coconut.For the Caipirinha, we went with the Caipiroska thanks to a recommendation: a popular Brazilian drink made with lime, sugar and muddled strawberries… oh, and some vodka ;).The Oasis CaipiroskaI loved the fresh strawberries throughout the drink, as well as the strength of the beverage. A lovely summer sip, indeed!Having a Caipiroska by the PoolAgain, we’re not exactly sure what the future holds for the Swan and Dolphin Food Trucks, currently in testing phase. But it’s so-far-so-good on the Causeway, and we hope we’ll be seeing them much more often in the future!What do you think of having Food Trucks on the Sawn and Dolphin Causeway?
