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!

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.
