HIDDEN DISNEY WORLD FOOD AT THE SWAN & DOLPHIN: NEW HAPPY HOUR AT BLUE ZOO & BIRRIA AT ROSA MEXICANO

[@HeyItsRick]

You have great content. Since you and Promise are the Cheese Pull Experts, it would be fun to see the Best Of The Cheese Pull at Disney Springs.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks so much!! A cheese pull off 😂😂

[@cindymitcheltree7961]

Those oysters looked crazy! Bless your heart for eating as many as you did. The mac and queso cheese pull was awesome! Thanks for another great video!

[@emilywynstra]

The Mac n Queso cheese pull did NOT disappoint and good call starting with that first! Since you are clearly a mac and cheese aficionado, I wondered what your favorite noodle(s) is for the dish!? 😋

[@RobertGibson-e3r]

Just checked out Bluezoo after watching your video and had to fork and knife the crab nachos, so it wasn't a fluke on your visit . Rosa Mexicano is very good, whereas Bluezoo is average .

[@luisbperez368]

This is my first review of your channel, and I have to say that I am very impressed with your honest opinion. I have a pending trip to the Swan in November, and I am bypassing the Bluezoo; now I am nuts for mac n cheese, and I will try that same menu you had at Rosa Mexicano. You have earned my subscription. Thank you very much. Stay safe 🙏.

[@garrettbarnes7112]

lol. The dressing does not have a cheese or anchovy flavor to it. Um, then it is not a Caesar Salad.

[@lisar4113]

So sorry about the West Coast oysters. We are spoiled here with our East Coast oysters in Maine. I would have been so disappointed! But Rosa doesn't disappoint! We had their tableside guac in CT and were totally impressed. Can't wait to try the birria tacos. You turned us on to those and there is no turning back!

[@danigirl4825]

Love to see more Rosa mexicano reviews!

[@Marylynnsauro]

Thanks for the review Kristen! I stay at the Swan a lot. Haven’t done Blue Zoo in a while but do enjoy Rosa Mexicano and also the bar at Shula’s, which stays open late.

[@marlahargrove5685]

I needed this review, staying at the dolphin in December. 🎉🎉🎉

[@rebelalliance77]

Thanks for the great review as we will be staying at the Dolphin hotel this weekend and checking out those restaurants! I appreciate your honesty!

[@annduse]

So I was always taught oysters are best in months that end in R (Sept-Dec) idk if this only applies to the gulf coast but just sharing my knowledge. Much love from Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana🤍

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

My cousin had told me the same thing!

[@ellencain6114]

Years ago, many years ago, when I was working in NYC, we'd go out after work to the bars with the best "happy hours" which translated into inexpensive drinks (usually buy two and the third was on the house) and a delicious buffet of "free food". I guess times they are a changing😂😢😂😢

[@susan_elizabeth]

Thanks, Kristen, for showing us these restaurants! Bummer that Blu Zoo didn't live up to expectations, but the drink prices were good! Thank you for bringing us along! 💜

[@Nancy-d4o7e]

Lee & Rick's Oyster Bar has been here forever. An Orlando landmark l!

[@trudyyurina5473]

You are making me so hungry!!!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Sorry!! 😂😂

[@christinaconnelly5525]

I felt your struggle with those oysters 🥴 the black one made me remember your F&W video with the black lobster with the key lime butter Plus Effen Cucumber Vodka, lol - the name made me laugh…bahaha 🤣

[@greggregg4852]

Lee and Rick's looks cool! 😃

[@emmibissell5636]

Next time you’re on the West coast take a trip down to Carlsbad Aqua Farm. They have tours and oyster tasting and they teach you to shuck. It’s an hour south of Disney. I’ll never eat oysters anywhere else.

[@veronicameserve3052]

Kristen. You should try the breakfast buffet at Rosa Mexicano!!! Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@jeannineb4263]

I heard Rosa Mexicano has great churro waffles for breakfast.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yes! They look different from the ones at Disney too. I need to try them out

[@ll-laurielew]

ok Jeannine, now I will be giving Rosa breakfast a try too!

[@2001Bear]

Nah girl. I’m from Tomales Bay in California- home of many oyster farms. Those oysters do not look good. Not a reflection of our West Coast.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yeah, I am not judging west coast based on these. I feel like this was a case of really really bad quality

[@2001Bear]

@@wrightdownmainstreet Well if you ever come to Nor Cal, we will hook you up right! Love your videos so much!!!! Keep ‘em coming. 😎

[@jrtrep]

Agreed. I’m from California and Washington State and those oysters are not good examples of west coast oysters.

[@Pilot4Life]

Love the videos. I agree these oysters didn’t look amazing. Saw you on the 4th at Epcot. Next time I’ll say hi. :)

[@SandraLovesSun]

I will only do YT would love to see that video here I will def check out that Rick’s if I move to Otown

[@Tatsandteee]

Orlando peeps: quesa loco has great birria tacos! Near winter park. Sometimes they have buy one get one free on Uber eats so it’s 16 dollars for 6 tacos and they have birria ramen!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Oh wow I’ll have to catch that Uber Eats deal!!

[@RaeHale-vm5vl]

Next trip I am insisting on Rosa Mexicano for the Mac n Queso, Birria Tacos and a pitcher of margaritas. They are gonna have to roll me out of there. 😂 Thanks for the review.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

You’ve got the right idea!!

[@Grahamt978]

You need to find Island Creek Oysters, nothing but the best. Love and appreciate your honesty

[@CierraMcConnell22]

It seemed like you decided you didn’t like Blue Zoo before you actually tried the food.

[@patriciagreene5842]

Todd English is known for seafood. Alway s go for the guac ❤❤ You never mentioned how it is to stay there, perhaps you could dive into that!

[@PinkCar06]

Went for a birthday dinner at Rosa's and the mexican fried rice was my husband's favorite. Everything was delicious but $$$.

[@Marie_Elaine]

Todd English's restaurant in Massachusetts was subpar from what I remember as well; that was ages ago but...still.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yeah, not sure if I’ll return there 😬

[@amandagonzales4813]

Awesome review! I love all your videos so much and appreciate your honest reviews. Would you recommend the $5 queso pour for the birria tacos? Thank you for all your content!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks so much!! Honestly I would be so tempted to try that hahaa I bet it would be amazing

[@nyxiepyxiepoo]

West coast oysters have so much more brine and they taste like the bottom of a pier. East coast all the way.

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

West Coast Oysters had the Norovirus outbreak earlier this year. Supposedly they linked it to oysters from Mexico. Those are black and contaminated oysters they served her. Crazy how Florida is getting west coast seafood even tho they share the Gulf. It’s still crazy to know upper and lower peninsula on the east coast both have really good lobster. New England has the best oysters. I love mine with lemon and habanero salsa! East coast seafood all the way lol

[@Disney1216]

My family and I went to Rosa’s for the first time this summer and it was absolutely delicious !!!! The table side Guacamole is hands down the best I have ever had and we are from Texas so we know good Guac. ❤ def going to make this a place we go every time we visit Disney.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Wow high praise!! I really love the guac from La Cava in Epcot. I’m curious to see how Rosa’s would stack up

[@philipgoodfellow929]

A great review thank you

[@katieluna4913]

Theres a rosa mexicano here in the northern virginia area at the national harbor theirfood is pretty solid :)

[@ll-laurielew]

Rosa is our MUST do every trip! Quinn & Kevin will hook you up! Frozen pomegranate Marg is 🔥 The table side Guac is like no other, half chicken dinner & Tampiquena dinner are my favorites!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

It’s def going to become a favorite of mine too! I must try the tableside guac next time

[@ll-laurielew]

@@wrightdownmainstreet Can’t wait to see your review! You have me wanting to try the Mac. I’m telling you, that mole on the half chicken is a bit of heaven and so are the roasted plantains! 🤤 Had it last week and gonna eat it again as soon as we get there this Friday. One last hurrah before summer break is over and I won’t be able to come for a while.

[@mele7417]

Do you need reservation or can you do a walk up

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I had a reservation for Rosa Mexicano, got it on Open Table. They have a lounge that has walk up seating. And at Bluezoo I just walked up & sat in the lounge.

[@greggregg4852]

looks like the happy hour prices are same as most restaurants regular prices. just sayin'.

[@SandraLovesSun]

Hi! I love my oysters straight up. Interesting. I love the oysters at Chelsea’s market in Greenwich NYC.

[@klorea1615]

Re: the oysters, they are definitely not all equal, it may not be that all west coast oysters are like that, could be the particular species. I really disliked oysters from New Orleans, very muddy-ish to me. I can't explain it, but not my cup of tea. I think an indication of a place that know their stuff about oysters - they usually can tell you exactly where and which specie it is. Here in NZ we get Bluff oysters which are HUGE. I really enjoy your revies :)

[@MJofLA]

I'm from southern California. The second I saw those oysters nuuh uh.

[@SmokyMountainsCouple]

Those oysters looked rotten af!

[@brodieellis2545]

You are 100% correct pay the extra at Boathouse and get east coast real oysters.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

The ones from the Boathouse were just so much better

[@denniscaldwell8193]

I was cringing watching you eat the west coast oysters, yuk. Lesson learned ask which coast before ordering oysters. Soggy nachos also another yuk. So glad Rosa Mexicano was a win for you.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I knew they were west coast before ordering but I’ve never tried so I wanted to! I don’t think I can judge west coast oysters based on this experience. The quality was so poor

[@nickvuocolo6083]

I like your videos but can’t stand when u say beverage!! 😂

[@erinanderson3106]

I’ve never hear of east coast oysters being better, the PNW is literally known for their oysters! Coming from the PNW, I can’t do east coast oysters lol

[@JennyW526]

West coast oysters are MUCH different than East coast, much smaller and much more briny. Most people either like one or the other. I would think if you like west coast oysters you would like the ones you tried. If you prefer East coast, then yeah…. The ones you had wouldn’t be your fav. Also, did you happen to ask why the price for the tartar was the same price at HH as the regular menu?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I think I wouldn’t mind west coast, this was just a case of very poor shucking & horrible quality. I was told that if shucked bad the oysters will bleed causing all of the black seen in mine.

[@Miche353]

I know where we are eating next trip! Take Promise there to enjoy that cheese pull! Everything looked so good, well except for those oysters. 🤮

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Ohhhh I can’t wait

[@LesleyH]

Those oysters looked grim! But that queso mac n cheese.. holy moly I want that in my face hole 😋😋😋

[@staceyglenn2171]

Gulf oysters!!!!

[@madelineS98789]

It’s the wrong month for good oysters. You may have recently had good ones elsewhere but May, June, July and August are not months for Oysters. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Spongedart12]

The oysters are imported from cold water locations along both coasts

[@kathleengavan1592]

Those oysters 🤢

[@giabarletta5929]

Those oysters looked straight up offensive. And thank you for showing bc I shall never consume a West Coast oyster. Ew, gross. And I LOVVVE oysters. But I’ll stick to my East Coasters.

[@Erika1lee]

Those are some scabby oysters 🤢

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yeah they were honestly foul

[@tlisalisa8926]

Omg i was praying they wouldnt make you sick with food poisoning 😢​@@wrightdownmainstreet

[@sharonsmith9250]

Put the Mac and cheese on the taco

[@kristenh.2901]

No oyster liquor, don’t eat it!
