Universal Food Thread

[Mad Dog]

Cathy, a capacity machine, may be IOA's new attraction for 2023. :grin: An excuse for not opening the two closed theaters. Waiting to see this on commercials.

I've walked by there hundreds of times - no idea that it was an ice cream stand!

Now that this thread has been reignited - has anyone been to Central Park Crepes lately? I'm curious as to how the menu is now, and for some reason they do not have it listed on the website.

Right now, they have the Muffaletta Crepe for MG and the Brisket is still there.

For desserts, they have Vegan Berry and Strawberry Hazelnut. I have no idea why the ditched Cookies and Cream, but it's borderline criminal.

Honestly the Vegan Berry one sounds great though lol

Is there anywhere in the parks to find an empanada?

Antojitos has Mexican empanadas and Strongwater Tavern at Sapphire Falls has Colombian empanadas. Those are probably your best bets.

Is there anywhere in the parks to find an empanada?

They've been selling them at the Coke Stand at CityWalk and some random carts throughout the parks. There's a new cart they've setup on HHN nights in front of the Uni arches with Turkey legs and empanadas.

I never popped in here after our trip - but Minion Cafe was very surprising. It was very, very good.

Overshadowed by the cafe itself though, is the Freeze Ray pops. They are fantastic lol

 

[Jake S]

As has been said elsewhere, there's money to be made on quick service offerings that are actually good and served in a decent environment!

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Also interestingly enough - the only food I purchased in IOA the entire week was a papas rellenas in JP and a breakfast empanada at Croissant Moon.

IOA needs to step its food game up big time!

The rotisserie was good at Amatista when I was there last year, and all of the apps we had are good.

Go to Strong Water and get some apps and drinks there too if you drink

I really enjoy Mythos’ Souvlaki Couscous Bowl with chicken, basically a greek kebab bowl.

At Mythos, I ALWAYS get the 12oz. Bone-In Pork Chop. The blue cheese cranberry crust on the pork chop is delightful. It has been a Mythos signature dishes for years. Although, several years ago, they kicked it up from pork loin medallions to the bone-in chop. That was a good decision.

And I agree that before your dinner at Amatista's, you should stop by Strongwater Tavern for a cocktail. Strongwater is BY FAR one of the best experiences at UOR.

And as far as Antojito's, everyone does the tableside guac for the "show", but I prefer the Queso Fundido. It is just melted white Mexican cheese, chorizo, and spices with warm tortillas.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Thanks all for the recommendations!

We'll be at Discovery Cove until about an hour before our Amatista reservation, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to stop into Strongwater beforehand. But maybe after!

I don't like guac and I LOVE queso fundido, so it's an easy decision!

 

[Skipper Justin]

The Mezze platter is the app I always get at Mythos.
