No, it isn’t cat food. But, spoiler alert, that might be better than one of these dishes. We tried everything at The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane Food Booth for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 and compiled our thoughts.

Birria Beef Walking Taco – $14.99
Birria beef with TOSTITOS Sabritas Salsa Verde, red onions, scallions, and consommé
The salsa verde seasoning on the chips throws off the flavor profile. The Birria beef isn’t bad, but it was formed into a giant clump that required work to break it up.
This fell short of the lazy guilty pleasure of a walking taco. The dish as a whole didn’t feel quite right, and it would be a little hard to eat on the go.

Flamin’ Hot Birria Ramen – $15.99
Tender birria beef on ramen noodles in a Flamin’ Hot birria consommé broth with shaved onions, scallions, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
This was weirdly good. The spicy broth and Cheetos are great together, despite how that sounds on paper. While the noodles taste like instant noodles, this dish was enjoyed by all members of the WDWNT team. A shareable hit, even for lonely cat ladies.

Fritos Vegan Walking Taco – $14.99
Vegan chorizo crumble with Fritos, salsa verde, and cilantro
This was terrible. The chorizo and salsa were both refrigerator cold, and we’re pretty sure that wasn’t intended.
The chorizo was also pretty sparse, as very little of it was detected in our bag. Just get some Fritos or actual cat food. They will both be better, and you will have extra dollars in your pocket.

Berry Scary – $14 for 12 oz. single serving
360 Vodka Red Raspberry, blackberry syrup, and lemonade
The berry flavor is pretty powerful here, and if we had to guess, it’s the elusive chemical berry. Jokes aside, the berry flavor of the drink isn’t off by much, but subtle changes matter. The changes with this drink pushed it too far in the wrong direction. The drink also looks nothing like the advertisement.

Sour Puss – $14 for 12 oz. single serving
Four Roses Yellow Label bourbon, blackberry syrup, and lemonade
This might be the best cocktail we have had at HHN 2025. There is good balance of flavors, and we could actually taste the bourbon. The other flavors worked with it instead of trying to overpower it.
