Rum Blossom (delicious)! This also comes alcohol-free. Perfect for a hot day!
Marlo J.

We stopped by Pongu Pongu (a little kiosk) on a super hot afternoon in Animal Kingdom at Disney World. We wanted something cool & delicious to drink, and we got it: the Rum Blossom! The Rum Blossom is a frozen/frosty drink with rum (Bacardi), apple & desert pear frozen limeade (DELICIOUS) topped with these amazing little Boba balls. You can also get a non-alcoholic (Night Blossom) if you choose. Both were refreshing and delicious. The service was efficient and friendly.

Pandora-The World of Avatar

Hungry after an expedition through Pandora? Did your Flight of Passage or Na'vi Rivet Journey leave you a bit thirsty? Head over to Pongu Pongu, which means "Party, Party" in the language of Na'vi, for a light bite or a refreshing drink. Stopped for a quick snack as an eco-tourist. Loved the visit to Pandora via Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE). The floating mountains, bioluminescent river and mountain banshees were quite magical. Grabbed drinks and three oversized pretzels with beer cheese for our party of 10. So nice to dip the hot pretzels into the creamy warm cheese dip. A perfect midday snack at Pandora-The World of Avatar.

I love the drinks here. They have both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options. It's always refreshing on a hot summer day. There isn't really an ambiance because it's just a stand, but the service is always good, as you would expect from Disney. The drink had these juice "balls" the burst as you drink the smoothie, and it really added a different flavor and texture to the overall experience

Posing with PonguPongu's finest flavor.

PonguPongu has Pandora's best KID-FRIENDLY DRINK, Our clan of 3 this days does THINK. Night Blossom has a yummy Citrus FLAVOR, Generous helping of Boba Balls to SAVOR, Unleashing this drink will have you in a good MOOD, Place like this are the only drinks I like not BREWED. Our favorite coffee spots we have yet to FIND, No worries, this place is a stop EVERYTIME. Great citrus flavors and something refreshingly NEW, Under the Pandora's box check out the Night Blossom @ ... PONGU PONGU

The Night Blossom ($7)
Ame G.

Being not only huge fans of Avatar, but boba tea drink lovers as well, we were thrilled to know that our two loves were combined and available for us to enjoy at Disney Animal Kingdom's Pongu Pongu. We heard rave reviews about their boba drink, the Night Blossom. It's a non-alcoholic slushie drink topped with popping boba and is $7. It was a unique flavor, a bit on the sweet side (the taste reminded me of gummy bears), but was an overall fun and colorful experience to be tried at least once- especially if you need a frozen drink to cool down. Fast and top-notch friendly service here, too. Stop on by!

Night Blossom - Non-Alcoholic Specialty Beverage

I had to try the viral night blossom frozen drink in Animal Kingdom. It is located in Pandora next to Satu'li Canteen. The line wasn't too bad and we got our drink quickly. Very refreshing on a hot humid day. It's sweet with some sourness to it from the limeade. I love the look with the popping boba on top. I do prefer a regular icee slushy over this but it was fun to try!

Stephanie L.

This absolutely lived up to hype for me and I'd agree with many food bloggers that the night blossom and pongu lumpia need to go on your must try list when at animal kingdom. The night blossom was sweet, refreshing, and had just the right amount of boba. My favorite part was the desert pear limeade layer. The star of the show for me was the pongu lumpia (pineapple cream cheese spring roll) - creamy, warm, and delicious. The line gets long and you unfortunately cant order ahead but it moves fast.

Marshall's favorite stuffed pancake sandwich ($8.99)
Brian F.

Pongu Pongu is located right outside the exit of the Avatar Flight of Passage ride in Animal Kingdom. It's just a walk-up window that sells some food and drinks. I got the marshall's favorite stuffed pancake sandwich ($8.99) which was interesting. It was basically a breakfast biscuit with pancake as the bread and guava jelly inside. It was a bit thick and a little dry. I also got the mo'ara margarita ($15) which was okay but I liked the popping boba.

Night Blossom - Non-Alcoholic Specialty Beverage

We got their Night blossom & Pretzel with beer cheese which came out almost immediately despite their busy line. Staff were patient and kind. The slush was a perfect blend of sweet and tart combined with the sporadic burst of the mango poppings. The pretzels are the size of a dinner plate, warm, and chewy. The cheese dip is a perfect side and size! Would love to come to enjoy these snacks in such an exotic and stimulating environment.

Pongu Lumpia
Czarina D.

Everything I had was aight! I think I might've just gotten a not so fresh batch. I ordered the Pongu Lumpia and a Rum Blossom. The Rum Blossom had a nice flavor but was a wee bit too sweet for me! It was SUPER pretty and I did enjoy getting a nice little pop from the popping boba. After a while, the popping boba took on an interesting texture (it became...wrinkly??) haha It didn't bother me much but it was very off-putting to some of my friends. My Pongu Lumpia had good flavor but was not cooked long enough to get it crispy. I'm Filipino and a golden brown lumpia IS A MUST lol Overall, the one I got was pretty pale and limp. Had it been fried better, it would've been a much tastier experience!

Marshall's Favorite Stuffed Pancake Sandwich
Heather G.

Our first time at Animal Kingdom and we stopped by this quick serve earlier in the morning. We tried the stuffed pancake sandwich with sausage, guava jelly, egg and cheese. I thought it was going to be just okay - but we actually recalled enjoyed it. Definitely a must to try!

Jacky C.

Stopped by this food stand after the Avatar Flight of Passage ride, as it was directly outside the gift shop. This was essentially breakfast for us. French Toast Stick ($6.50) - I mean...they're French toast sticks. What do you expect? If you're desperate for food, then I guess this is a safe item to order. Pongu Lumpia ($4) - Pineapple-Cream Cheese Spring Roll. I never had a pineapple flavored egg/spring roll so this is a first and I loved it. I feel like this is the most popular item everyone orders here. Hawkes' Grog Ale ($10.50) - Draft Beer 22oz. Fruity Hop with notes of Apricot and Peach. What attracted me to this drink was that it was green. And I just wanted a beer at ten in the morning. Don't judge me.

Daniel P.

I was with a party so was able to try several drinks. I got the green beer which was refreshing and had a slight fruity flavor but with more beer flavor. The rum and tequila slushes were pretty sweet and could easily be shared if you don't want to drink too much sweet. If you're thinking about it... I'd say go for it!

This place is unassuming, with its location attached to a gas station... I had driven by many times…read moreand not given it a second thought, but one night I was in the area late and in the mood for some delicious tacos. Of course my first instinct was to pop open Yelp! Saw the fantastic reviews on this place and figured I would finally give it a shot. Boy, am I happy I did!! Mexas has quickly become one of my go-to places to eat when I am in the Orlando area- both locations, although I think I love this express location best. I've now shared it with many of my favorite people (my son, my best friend, my boyfriend) on our trips together and everyone has been blown away. The birria is fantastic, full stop. My first time, I came for street tacos.... But as soon as I tried the birria it was over for me. I haven't wanted to order anything else since. The birria quesadilla is absolutely massive and meant to be shared with at least one other person. It's a counter service spot, and they tend to be busy if you come during peak times- but food service is always fast, and every time I've had a question, they have been super friendly and patient with answers. The margaritas are strong, but decent- they are clearly premixed so nothing outstanding, but still tasty and they do the job. The guacamole is also phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and give this local spot a try!

Food is 5/5 stars. Some of the best, freshest Mexican food I've had in awhile. Only the taco…read moreshell for the salad could have been freasher. The rest of the items we tried were fantastic. Gordita is fried and loaded with choice of meat, tomato and lettuce. Taco salad is a good portion that ended up being more than what it looks like in the picture. And the ground beef tacos in corn shells were some of the best had ever. Ambiance: although this shares a building with a cut through to a gas station retail store it has more Mexican flair than expected. They have both inside

First time ever trying it since we don't have these back home--and wow. This place doesn't just serve chicken fingers... they serve life decisions you'll never regret. The menu? Simple. To the point. No "Do you want it grilled, wrapped, blackened, or turned into a burrito?" nonsense. It's: chicken fingers, fries, toast, slaw. Boom. My kinda place. The vibe inside was unexpectedly chill. "Love Again" by The Kid LAROI was playing, and I swear those chicken fingers hit different with background music that makes you question your teenage heartbreaks. Employees? Cool, calm, and friendly--like they already knew this chicken was about to change our lives. Now let's talk food. HOT HOT HOT chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Fries? Golden perfection. And the slaw--listen, I'm a slaw kinda guy, and this was not your sad picnic slaw. This was slaw with confidence. That Cane's sauce? Let's just say I considered baptizing my fries in it. The place was spotless, the energy was welcoming, and honestly, if Cane's wants to expand to my hometown, I'll personally volunteer as tribute to cut the ribbon at the grand opening. Bottom line: Raising Cane's at 2AM is greater than life's problems.

After ordering, you grab a number, find your own table, and they bring the food out to you. It's a very casual, easy setup, but finding a seat can be a little challenging when it's busy. I tried the limited-time Thai Chicken Salad Wrap and it was delicious! Fresh, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again if it stays on the menu. Unfortunately, the fried pickle chips were a miss for me. They were pretty limp instead of crispy, and the oil tasted a little old, so I probably wouldn't order those again. Overall, though, we had a good experience. The wrap was excellent, ordering was easy, and it's a convenient quick-service option while walking around Disney Springs. I'd definitely return and try more of the menu!

I ordered a gluten-free cheeseburger as a lettuce wrap and specifically asked the employee to change his gloves before preparing my food. I watched the entire process and he never did. To make matters worse, they had run out of cheese slices and substituted cheese sauce without asking or informing me. I should have been informed and given the choice, not handed a burger with a substitution I never agreed to. Cheese sauce typically contains thickeners that may not be gluten-free, and I had no way of knowing whether it was safe for me to eat. When I raised my concerns with the manager, it was clear he had no understanding of cross-contamination. For anyone with dietary restrictions or food sensitivities, this location is not safe. I've been a Shake Shack customer for over 20 years and have never had an experience this bad. This location stood out for all the wrong reasons: poor food handling, no regard for customer safety, and a level of dirtiness I've never seen at any other location. Avoid!
