Reader Ellen D. and her son headed over to Downtown Disney’s Paradiso 37 recently and sent back a few photos of the restaurant’s new menus. Ellen also sent along photos and reviews of their entrees and dessert (yay!). By the way, if you’d like to read our full review of Paradiso 37, you can find it here! Here we go!
Paradiso 37
Eats
First off, the food! Ellen wasn’t a huge fan of the Citrus-Barbecued Pork Ribs, saying the spice rub was extremely strong.

This veg entree was created on-the-fly, she says. “The new menu doesn’t have any vegetarian entrees (the previous one did). Our server offered me this. First impression, gratitude for accommodating me withstanding, was a solid ‘m’eh.'”

On to dessert! Says Ellen, “I ‘made’ my half-Nicaraguan son get the Tres Leches cake (it originated in Nicaragua). I’ve never made it for him (I’m so Cruella). He liked it!”

Colorful looking menu and the tres leche cakee looks really good. But I’m with you, the vegetarian entree looked very meh. Thanks for the pictures and the review! 🙂
Very Cool! Ill have to check it out next time in DTD. Thanks for the information 🙂
I don’t know that I’m prepared to give this restaurant another chance. I’ve been twice and the food is just okay.
That vegetarian meal looks pathetic. I’m really bummed they don’t have a standard (appetizing) vegetarian meal on the menu. With all the vegetarians in the world today, there’s no excuse for that. That said, there are plenty of interesting menu items I’d be willing to try….especially if I were fortified with a margarita first. 🙂
Carolyn — I usually stick to the apps & desserts at this restaurant. Looks like that will continue to be my MO!
Cody — Have you been to Paradiso since the first trip (where you so kindly reported for us)?
Jo — What’d you have?
Gray — The margaritas there are AMAZING. Agreed on the veggie dish. How do you have good variety without a veggie dish here or there?
I totally agree, the vegetarian plate looks really pathetic. If they want to try and attract a variety of people, they really need to try a variety of different plates that look appetizing to all groups.
On top of that, presentation is everything and it looks like they just threw together that plate in a minute. Even I could do that!
