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 at Mercado de Antojos? Well, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.
Over at the Mercado de Antojos booth, you’ll find you’ll find a savory dish, a dessert, and several cocktails!
2026 Menu
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
First up, we grabbed the new Torta Ahogada for $9.25. This dish is made with Braised pork carnitas, frijoles charros, pickled onion, and salsa. Okay, first off, it was VERY soggy, and this is one of those items that should have been made fresh, rather than in batches to just sit in the booth’s window. As far as flavor goes, the acidity of the tomato sauce is what you taste first, although the pickled onion adds a nice extra tang. The chicken is tender and well-seasoned. However, we’ve had better tortas at Disneyland, so we don’t think this one stands up to those.

Now it’s time for a little dessert. We grabbed the returning Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake for $8.25. This treat is made with Café de Olla-infused tres leches topped with piloncillo, chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie. We really enjoyed this cake last year, but thought they were a little heavy-handed with the chantilly cream. This year, we felt the balance was a little better.

Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake
It’s not too coffee-forward, and the cake is moist, while the frosting is light and creamy. The little Mickey cookie on top adds some nice crunchiness.
In terms of drinks, you can get the Brown Soul Brewing Co., Quiero Maiz for $18.50. We grabbed the Paloma Flight for $19.75. You can get the flight or get individual Paloma options for $18.25. The Black Cherry Paloma is made with Blanco tequila, black cherry purée, and sweet and sour, topped with Fresca and garnished with a lime wheel. If you like cough syrup (as in that artificial cherry flavor of cough syrup), you might like this, but we’d recommend skipping it.
The Blood Orange Paloma is made with Blanco tequila, Italian aperitif, blood orange juice, and sweet and sour, topped with Fresca and garnished with a lime wheel. We found this one refreshing, with a taste that leaned more towards grapefruit juice. We also couldn’t taste the alcohol, so it was easy to drink.

The Cantarito-Style Paloma doesn’t have a lot of flavor, but it does have a spicy kick. You can taste a little lime, but the spiciness is really what it’s all about.
The only thing we’d come back to for this booth is the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake because we really don’t think the Torta even remotely compares to other tortas we’ve had at Disneyland. As far as drinks go, we’d recommend two out of the three of the flight, but if you’re getting all three, and only like two, it’s still a win, right?

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
