We all love eating around the world during any of EPCOT’s amazing festivals, but sometimes it can make guests overlook other good spots to dine at the park!
Sunshine Seasons
We recently went to Sunshine Seasons, which is a quick-service restaurant in EPCOT’s The Land Pavilion, and we have to share our thoughts on this new plant-based dish with you. It can sometimes be hard to find delicious plant-based dishes at Disney World, but that’s what we’re here for!
For fans of the fried tofu cubes of Walt Disney World, rejoice! (Yes, there are lots of us who are fans of the fried tofu.) We have the newest offering, and it is in EPCOT’s Sunshine Seasons, and it is good. It’s the Plant-based Sofritas for $12.49, which is a rice bowl with black beans, fajita veggies, pico de gallo, and crumbled plant-based feta cheese on top. It may sound unusual to some, but in the context of vegan eating, it is a fair replacement for something like queso blanco. It’s also REALLY delicious on the dish!
Plant-based Sofritas
We’re obsessed with the crispy fried tofu cubes at Satu’li Canteen in Animal Kingdom, and we would still say those are the best. However, these add a really delicious Mexican flavor profile, and the cubes are larger and softer and seasoned beautifully with Mexican-style spices. We think the bowl it comes in is literally the same paper bowl as Chipotle, but this is better than any plant-based offering they have at the fast food chain. The tofu Chipotle offers, which is also called sofritas, is more finely ground up and way over-seasoned and spiced for our taste. We have to decide if it’s a day when we can physically handle the Chipotle sofritas, but the EPCOT version is so easy on the palate and so delicious that we could eat it every day.
This is so good!
Our only complaint is that it doesn’t come with guacamole. We would definitely pay extra to have guacamole on this dish. It would take something already really good and put it into the spectacular category. That being said, this is something we’re going to eat a lot, so we hope they hang on to it for a long time.
You need to try this!
This dish feels authentically delicious as a plant-based item here at Sunshine Seasons. In fact, we’d say this is the first time that a plant-based dish tasted this delicious and authentic here, which is kind of absurd when you consider the fact that this is in The LAND Pavilion, which should be the BEST place on the property to get vegan food.
