Paradise Garden Grill

Tried the one and only vegan option at this spot, the "Beef and Broccoli" for $15.49. It's essentially fried rice topped with sauteed broccoli and (plant-based) beef.The fried rice portion of it was pretty impressive. It felt light, but with a heavy hint of garlic. If you're a garlic lover but not a fan of having too much oil in your fried rice, then this is for you.The beef that it came topped with was pretty similar to the Trader Joe's vegan bulgogi. Every part of this place is outdoors, from the seating area to the ordering queue. You stand in line and order at the front where cast members enter it into the system. You then head to a window where you pick up a tray of your items and find an open table. It's a food court environment.Since it's outside, I wouldn't recommend it if it's chilly. That's the one downside about Paradise Garden Grill.If you are a magic key holder, they'll give you a discount on your order.

I usually don't expect much out of theme park food, and when this people serve your food, would explain why. There's no attention to detail. The Mexican food is very blah, and the service could probably be elevated by being a little bit nicer to the customer. This is difficult to comprehend because Disney was always top-notch customer service. This food is bland.

Mobile Ordering here can be convenient and easy. You can also order standby. Love that there are multiple options. My main beef with this place is that it is very seasonal. Once you find some food you like, it is gone. Food portions have gone way down and extra salty. Pricing isn't bad. You do get pass discount here. The food is filling which is nice. My favorite part of this location is their seasonal cocktails. They are fun and pretty strong. The cast members here are very. There is ample seating nearby and usually live music.

Mobile ordering is the most convenient way to go when in the parks. Minimal wait & order is accurate. On my last visit, decided to try the sisig burrito and it was quite a disappointment. The meal consisted of: Seasoned Pork, Onions, Serranos, Garlic Fried Rice, and Marinated Tomatoes with a side of Chicharrones and Serrano-Vinegar Dipping Sauce.I cut the burrito in half, as I was sharing with my sister. It was dripping with grease on one side (the tortilla seemed to be drenched in oil!) and its contents fell apart when i took a bite. I ended up discarding the tortilla and eating the rest with a fork. It definitely needed the dipping sauce, which added a little kick of heat from the serrano, but wished it was more spicy. If they sold the chicharrones and vinegar sauce as a side, I would totally get that again. The burrito, however, is a no from me.

Yay for veggie options!! What I like about Paradise Garden Grill: they always have a vegetarian friendly item on the menu. Thank Buddha and the vegan Gods. I'm so over going to places and ordering sides to make a meal. The other thing I really like about Paradise Garden Grill: the menu is always changing. So it's like a new restaurant every time you go lol The items change depending on the season. And if there's a special event happening at that time, then it usually changes too. So that is fun! The veggie food is delicious here! Impossible chili fries for the freakin win! Let's go

As a kid... Disneyland was ALL about the rides.As a Teenager... Disneyland was ALL about roller coasters. As an adult... Disneyland is ALL about the food.And now that I'm a parent of 3 little girls... Disneyland is ALL about THEIR enjoyment.And of course for my wife and I...The food...and the booze! (Courtesy of Disney California Adventure)O.k...Don't get me wrong. When we come to Disneyland Resort, it's ALL about seeing our little girls faces light up with pure excitement just as it was for our parents when we were kids. Butt, and she's gotta a nice one... ;) when I see my wife's face light up when she gets her popcorn, or her cotton candy or her churro or even her Margarita from D.C.A... It's Priceless!!That's right people...We plan our entire Disney trip around where we are going to eat. Sure, we will make sure the kids get to go on their fair share of rides, but momma ain't waiting in no hour and a half line without a little treat to help pass the time. During a trip to D.C.A last year, My wife had researched prior to our arrival what we were having for lunch that day. And Mexican was on the menu!!!She had seen, probably on Instagram or Tik Tok (kids these days, lol) a place that had Chile Verde Chicken Flautas and she just had to have them. So after getting off The Little Mermaid ride, it was time. LUNCH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife whipped out her Iphone, signed into her Disney app and added her Flautas to her cart. Next it was my turn! And if we are doing Mexican, I don't care if its Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday... It's ALWAYS Tacos Tuesday in book!! The Verdict:The Flautas were on point! So much on point, that my wife barely wanted to give me a bite to try them, haha. (But it's true) I mean Chile Verde Chicken Flautas topped with avocado spread, shredded lettuce, crema, queso fresco, tomatillo salsa AND pickled onions served alongside Spanish rice and pinto beans...I probably wouldn't have wanted to share either ;) As for me, tres tacos was my middle name! My Tacos Estilo Calle Jero was a trio of sirloin beef tacos with escabèche, pickled onions and cilantro served alongside Spanish rice & pinto beans....Let's just say, I did a little Mexican Grito expressing pure happiness of what was about to hit my mouth and my stomach! So,The next time you are Disney California Adventure...It doesn't matter if you are...A kid...A teenager...An adult...Or a parent...Because at some point, even after all those rides, those roller coasters, the churros, the popcorn and those margaritas....There's ALWAYS room for Tacos & Chile Verde Flautas!Just don't be scared when you or someone from your group suddenly yells out a Grito of pure joy as they dine at Paradise Garden Grill.

Paradise Garden Grill is a solid quick service option inside Disney California Adventure park. The menu seems to change with the season and often offers items that coincide with any festivals or events taking place in the park. Perhaps, that's one of the draws to this place is their changing menu which, most of the time, is pretty good! Currently, my favorite item from them is the Sisig Burrito as part of the 2024 Food & Wine Festival. Paradise Garden Grill offers both mobile ordering through the Disneyland app and traditional standby ordering. There are plenty of seats and tables to enjoy your meal within the direct radius of the restaurant. If you time it correctly, you may even catch a live music act while you dine depending on the park's current festival. Portions have always seemed to be on point. Pricing is fair considering you are getting food at Disney. You can usually count on Paradise Garden Grill for a solid and good meal. Note that to dine here, you must have a ticket that will allow you entry to Disney California Adventure park. Presently, affiliation discounts are being accepted such as the Magic Key discount.

The line here is always long for no reason! There's literally two cashiers and like five pick up windows . The cashiers and the order fulfillers behind them often don't know what they have or what they don't have. For this reason, I literally never come here. It takes way too long. And there is no mobile order for the Tasting Tabs. Had a festival of holidays food passport so I decided to try the shrimp taco here because I heard a lot of good reviews . The taco did not disappoint. It was very cheesy and gooey, but it literally only had two pieces of shrimp in it. The flavor, however, was great. The taco was literally about three bites. They had a larger version of this taco with rice and beans for a bit more.This location within Disney, California adventure serves seasonal items along with some Mexican favorites . Unless I really want something here I don't think I will stand in line anymore, but I had a great experience with the taco

Today is the first day for the NEW Viva Navidad menu. (It will be available from November 10th to January 7,2024). My sister placed a mobile order for the plant based Impossible Albondigas soup and the chocolate cake flan for us to share. The albondigas had 3 enormous Impossible meatballs, zucchini, celery, carrots, onions and potatoes in a vegetable broth. It was also served with a lime garnish and a handful of tortilla chips. We really enjoyed the soup, the vegetables were tender, the broth was light yet full of flavor and the meatballs were unexpectedly monstrous! lol Now on to dessert, the chocolate cake flan was...ok for me but my sister enjoyed it. I thought they tasted fine separately but together the two textures didn't mesh well IMO. Service was great, it was surprisingly empty tonight so there was plenty of seating available. (They added festive plastic table coverings too) If you have a Magic Key, don't forget to use your discount!

My friend ordered the Carnitas Wet Burrito. He gave it a 4/5 and said he would order it again. The seating area in the garden is a great place to relax in between going on the rides.
