Rita’s Turbine Blenders is a quick-service drink spot located along California Adventure’s waterfront. Guests can grab a drink and snack, wander the pier, and grab a seat overlooking the water or Radiator Springs.
MY RATING – ★★★★☆
If you’re in the mood for a margarita while you explore California Adventure, Rita is your girl. The Turbine Blenders stand serves virtually nothing but margaritas, and has a decent selection of different flavors and non-alcoholic drinks. But the drinks are good, the central location is very convenient, and the nearby views of Paradise Bay and Cars Land make Rita’s Turbine Blenders a great place to stop for a mid-afternoon drink.
MY FAVORITES
- Rita’s Grand Margarita
TRIVIA
California Adventure is not a dry park; you are welcome to carry your margarita around with you! (Just remember that you won’t be able to bring it on any attractions or into shows.)
The stand’s name comes from two sources. Rita is a carryover from the last name (Rita’s Baja Blenders, shortened from margarita), and turbine is a nod to San Fransokyo’s wind turbines.
