The po boy comes with Cajun chips on the side, which are good, but inconsistently seasoned.

For the sandwich, the remoulade is the most prominent flavor and adds the perfect zest. The fried green tomatoes also have a strong flavor profile.

The bread is thick and slightly toasted, and the lettuce and tomato are well-proportioned. This is a great option.

*NEW* Crown Cookie – $3.99

The drink is returning from last year and is excellent, especially for a pre-mixed drink.

You can taste the alcohol and the sweet fruit juices. The passion fruit flavor comes through the most. This delicious drink can be found at multiple booths at Mardi Gras this year.

Universal’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval runs from February 4 through April 16.
