Our visit to California Adventure began with lunch (we flew into LAX that morning, and headed straight to Disneyland). We made our way to Pacific Wharf which is an area dedicated to food!
For lunch I chose Lucky Fortune Cookery. I had the Asian Rice Bowl. The cool thing about this meal is that you get to pick your protein (choose from Chicken, Beef or Tofu), and then you choose your sauce (Mandarin Orange, Spicy Korean, Thai Coconut Curry or Teriyaki). I chose Chicken & Teriyaki. It was very good, and surprisingly slightly spicy. It contained a large helping of steamed rice, mixed vegetables and meat. This was a great meal!
My husband chose Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill. His meal was the Soft Tacos Monterrey Plate. He really enjoyed the tacos. I tasted the beans, rice & guacamole. The beans were great, the rice was dry, and the guacamole was okay (a little on the bland side). Overall, I would say this was an okay meal.
Once we made our way around Paradise Pier, it was time to visit the beloved Cars Land! So exciting! There were several snack options that I was anxious to try in Cars Land.
The Cozy Cone Motel is made up of five cones each serving up different snack options.
At Cone 1 we purchased the Churro Bites with Chocolate Sauce. Churros are often seen around the parks, but what made these special was there tiny bite-size and the side of chocolate sauce that has just a hint of cinnamon mixed in. The Churro Bites were also served in a cute little cone, of course! We definitely enjoyed the Churro Bites, I was particularly loving the small 2-bite size! However, the chocolate sauce just wasn't doing it for me. I felt like the churro was better on it's own. The chocolate sauce wasn't bad, it was fine. It was a little more on the watery side, so I would be concerned about the messy factor with kids.

Also at Cone 1 we purchased the signature drink, Ramone's Pear of Dice Soda. This drink is a fun, carbonated beverage with a tangy pear flavor. It's purple hue made it a fun feast for the eyes. It was definitely enjoyable, however the sharp flavor of this drink made it a good choice of a treat to share. It's not necessarily a drink to quench your thirst, it's more of a sipping experience.
We checked into Cone 4 to try out the signature drink, Red's Apple Freeze. This drink is an icy apple juice and pomegranate concoction topped with a toasted marshmallow whip. This drink hits you hard with a mixture of super sweetness and tartness. Sadly the two of us weren't even able to drink a third of this drink. It was just too much! However, many people have talked about how much they love this drink, so I guess it's just something you have to try for yourself.

| This drink can also be found in Walt Disney World's new Fantasyland at Gaston's Tavern under the name LeFou's Brew. |
For dinner we ate at the Taste Pilot's Grill next to Soarin' Over California. After all of our snacking we decided to split a meal. We had the Chili Cheeseburger with French Fries. This restaurant also has an awesome condiment bar with sauces and burger toppings galore! We had some tomatoes, pico de gallo, bbq sauce and ketchup. The chili that topped this burger wasn't sloppy or watery, so not too bad on the messy side of things, and the pico de gallo was great (very fresh tasting)!
Going into this park there were lots of things that I wanted to try, however it had to be narrowed down to what we could handle in one day. Next time around, these are a few of the items I would like to try:
*Taste Pilots' Grill.....loaded fries
*Pacific Wharf Cafe.....soup & sandwich
*Flo's V8 Cafe.....apple & cheddar hand pie
*Cozy Cone Motel (Cone 3).....chicken verde in a bread cone
HAVE A MAGICAL DISNEY DAY!
