REVIEW: We Spent Over $20 on a Baked Potato and Drink, and Disney's Over-the-Top Dishes Were Totally Worth It

Disneyland Resort introduces new menu items all the time, and we try it ALLLL make sure you know what’s worth your money and what you may want to skip.

We spotted some new menu offerings over at Refreshment Corner in Disneyland Park and decided it was the perfect day to give them a try. Are these new menu items worth a try? Let’s just say we have a LOT to say.

At Refreshment Corner, you can currently try two new menu items that will both give you a little hint of heat. If you’re feeling hungry, the Birria Potato is what you’ll want to try for $13.79, made with Beef Birria and Pepper Jack Cheese topped with Salsa Verde in a Baked Potato.

Birria Potato

Out of all the birria items they’ve had in the parks recently, this was one of our FAVORITES! The meat was sweet, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The salsa verde has a cool yet spicy flavor that countered the sweet flavor from the beef nicely, and the pepper jack underneath the beef perfectly melted in the baked potato, which made for a heavenly, cheesy bite with a slight kick. The onions, cilantro, and onion on top added a refreshing crunch that we loved, and we would highly recommend this to anyone who likes Mexican food, especially birria! It was honestly one of our favorite things we’ve had in a while.

Yum!

If you’re feeling thirsty, you can grab the Sweet Heat Lemonade for $6.49, which is Watermelon-Habanero Lemonade with Spiced Lemon and Serrano. We were unsure about this at first, but it ended up being really good! The spice was mild and reminded our reporter of the watermelon gummies and chamoy that Disneyland served in Adventureland.

Sweet Heat Lemonade

The drink was primarily sweet and tangy from the lemonade and watermelon, with a light spice throughout. Some sips were spicier than others, but it was never too hot. If you’re looking for a refreshing drink with fun flavors, we definitely recommend it!
