The 5 Best Foods to Eat at Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2024

As a food enthusiast who has attended countless Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, I can confidently say that the Ropa Veija Walking Taco was the undisputed star of the 2024 event’s food offerings. Now, I’ve tasted some extraordinary dishes in my life, but this little bundle of flavor took the cake… or should I say, the taco?


Previously in autumn, it was a treat for TopMob to attend the Halloween Horror Nights 2024 event at Universal Orlando. Naturally, we were thrilled to explore the event’s primary attraction, its fantastic Haunted Houses (which we ranked). However, anyone familiar with Halloween Horror Nights understands that the excitement doesn’t cease with the main event. Indeed, along with its houses of terror, Halloween Horror Nights consistently presents a diverse range of food items and treats that are not only delicious but also visually stunning. In anticipation of our visit, we shared some exclusive details about the spooky delicacies Universal Orlando would offer at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. But nothing could prepare us for the joy of tasting them ourselves.

Without ranking them, here are the four exceptional food items we savored during Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 2024. Among these, the Ropa Veija Walking Taco stands out as an unrivaled delight – a must-try delicacy at the event without question!

The Wooden Board Eclair Will Make You Gasp (With Delight)

Among the many tantalizing food options at Halloween Horror Nights, the Wooden Board Eclair truly stands out. Not only is it meticulously themed, it’s inspired by the chilling scenes from the “A Quiet Place” movies. This eclair recreates one of the movie’s most nerve-wracking moments – the scene that, despite its predictability, still manages to catch you off guard and send a shiver down your spine. The scream you let out (but try to keep quiet) is all part of the experience!

As a gamer, I’ve got to tell you about this Wooden Board Eclair that’s left me in awe. The nail jutting out might seem a bit unusual, but the intricate and meticulously crafted wooden board is something else entirely. Taking a bite proves challenging due to its exquisite detailing, but don’t let that fool you. It won’t be screams of pain when you savor this treat; instead, it’ll be groans of pure pleasure as you sink your teeth into this mouthwatering eclair. This is one delicious indulgence you wouldn’t want to miss!

The Wooden Board Eclair offers a delightful textural experience. Its exterior boasts a fluffy perfection, while the inside surprises with a luscious creaminess. A layer of smooth and indulgent chocolate tops it off. Though it’s undeniably tasty, the standout feature is the eclair’s warmth – it delivers a pleasant spiciness that subtly warms the pastry cream without causing discomfort. This eclair doesn’t pack enough heat to burn your tongue, but it does provide a thrilling sensation reminiscent of the aftermath of watching a horror movie – an adventure you’re glad you took. With a rating of 10/10, this eclair is a must-try at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 2024.

The Red Door Hand Pie Is a Perfect Portal and Pie

The Red Door hand pie is quite a treat! To begin with, its vibrant red color makes it hard to resist. I mean, who wouldn’t want to savor something that looks so striking? Definitely me! Secondly, the pie resembles the mysterious portal from the movie ‘Insidious’, but don’t worry, it won’t transport you to the demonic realms or attempt to swallow your soul. That’s a relief! On a positive note, this hand pie is vegan-friendly. Kudos to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights for catering to various dietary needs. This savory delight evokes the richness of a hearty autumn stew and can be easily enjoyed while exploring the park. The crust has an interesting texture, somewhat similar to a pop-tart, but I found its crumbly quality a nice contrast to the luscious filling. Lastly, the red glaze offers a smooth, savory finish, reminiscent of a tasty pop-tart, in a good way.

The Mini Stay-Puft S’more Is One Food Item You Can’t Miss at Halloween Horror Nights 2024

I mean, come on, the Mini Stay-Puft S’more HAD to be on this list of best food items at Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2024. It’s an icon. Not only is it spooktacularly disturbing because you’re literally consuming a burnt mini Stay-Puft man, but it is also SO adorable. That’s the perfect Halloween Horror Nights secret recipe. But I have to say that this Mini Stay-Puft S’more just doesn’t LOOK good. It is quite honestly the most delicious marshmallow I have ever consumed in my life. Do not miss out on this scrumptious and Instagram-worthy treat.

The Heart Beet Tostada Brought Resturant Quality Food to Life

Initially, I had my doubts about the Heart Beet Tostada due to an apparent excess of tortilla over toppings. However, as I continued eating it, its flavor grew increasingly delightful. While it might not be ideal for eating on-the-go, once you sink your teeth into this vibrant, beet-infused “heart,” you’ll be pleased you did. The pickled beets are tangy but not overpoweringly so, and the overall sourness is a pleasant touch. Among all the Halloween Horror Nights food items I tried at Universal Orlando, this one stood out as the most professionally prepared. And let me tell you, it was absolutely delectable! The Heart Beet Tostada draws inspiration from one of Universal Orlando’s most anticipated 2024 Halloween Horror Nights houses, Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America.

The Ropa Veija Walking Taco Was the Best Food Item at Halloween Horror Nights 2024

And so we have come to the Ropa Veija Walking Taco. The Ropa Veija Walking Taco isn’t themed. It’s not particularly adorable. It doesn’t have delicately crafted nuances. But it is SO delicious. Of all the foods I tasted at Halloween Horror Nights 2024, the Ropa Veija Walking Taco was the one I woke up thinking about, the one I craved for a week after. I had order Ropa Veija at home, this was so good. But it just wasn’t the same.

The Ropa Veija Walking Taco is an irresistible treat, packed with delectable flavors that leave you yearning for more. The tender, savory meat is simply mouthwatering and hard to resist. Its toppings perfectly balance the beef’s richness, adding a touch of brightness and texture to keep it from feeling too indulgent. If you plan on attending Halloween Horror Nights 2024, be sure to add this dish to your must-try list – it’s an experience you won’t want to miss! Just remember to eat it with a fork rather than trying to consume it through the Doritos inside; otherwise, you might regret your decision.
