Review by Collin Schultz

Explorer's Café is a convenient stop while exploring SeaWorld San Diego. 🐬

I tried their southwestern wrap, which was tasty, albeit a bit soggy. The portion size was generous, making it perfect for a quick bite! The casual atmosphere and kid-friendly menu are definite pluses for families. However, I did experience a longer wait than expected for my food, around 30 minutes, which was frustrating since I had ordered via the app.

Despite the hiccups, the staff remained respectful and helpful... Just be patient if you decide to dine here! 🌟
