Once inside, you\u2019ll find that the menu, envisioned by Executive Chef Yen Wu, is a thoughtful blend of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with non-GMO and organic options that bring a modern twist to Mexican cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kicking things off, freshly made tortilla chips, served alongside house salsa, immediately set the tone for the delicious evening. As for appetizers, the quesadilla, packed with gooey queso chihuahua, and the tlayuda, a crispy Oaxacan-inspired delight with layers of refried black beans, avocado, and cilantro, did not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirsty? Look no further than their picturesque craft cocktails. The Mora Mora\u2014a whiskey-forward, hibiscus-infused drink with muddled blackberries\u2014and the Spice Up My Life, a cucumber-lime concoction with a kick of chile de \u00e1rbol tequila, were not just flavorful but visually striking. Garnished with D\u00eda de Los Muertos skeletons perched on sticks, these drinks added to the festive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the main course, the carne asada\u2014tender skirt steak drizzled with salsa ranchera and topped with cotija\u2014delivered on all fronts. The quesabirria tacos, with their crispy cheese crust, succulent shredded birria, and rich consomm\u00e9, elevated the meal, leaving a lasting impression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude the fabulous dining experience, the churros came with a delightful show\u2014firework sparklers that mirrored the Disneyland magic across the street. The warm churros were perfectly dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with dulce de leche and chocolate sauces, adding a sweet finale to the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The atmosphere at Calaca Mamas Cantina is just as lively as the food. Disney-inspired decor, a small shop called \u201cRetail Therapy\u201d full of fun Disney items, and a bustling full bar give the space a unique charm. The outdoor patio, overlooking Harbor Blvd. with a fire pit, offers a cozy, family-friendly vibe and a view of Disneyland\u2019s iconic lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since opening in 2022, this locally sourced, non-GMO eatery has been making waves in Anaheim. Whether you&#8217;re there for the food, drinks, or just the fun, Calaca Mamas Cantina is worth multiple visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
