| - I've visited a couple of versions of this restaurant, specifically the locations in Anaheim and Orlando. While I was generally pleased, this incarnation of Crossroads at the House of Blues was worlds better than the others. First off, I loved the ambiance--the muted lighting, the overhanging tree with rustic metal lanterns, etc. Second, the food was fresh and well-crafted. My husband and I ordered the street tacos and the lobster macaroni and cheese to share. The street tacos came with perfectly cooked carne asada, fresh tomatillo salsa, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese. The lobster mac was served in an iron skillet--it was delightfully cheesy, topped with well-seasoned bread crumbs, and dotted with sweet pieces of lobster. The attention to detail, the flavor profiles--all worked together to create a wonderfully satisfying meal. It also wasn't horribly busy on a Saturday afternoon, which was definitely a pleasant surprise.
