Anaheim Packing District, named Orange County's Best Food Hall of 2025, is bringing back its World Taste of the Packing District for a sixth year on Tuesday, August 11, from 5 to 9 p.m.
This year's theme is Y2K, and guests are invited to dust off their early-2000s best for a tasting crawl through the district's historic venues, including Anaheim MAKE, Anaheim Packing House, Farmers Park and the Packard Building.
The vendor lineup spans nearly 20 spots, with standouts including:
- URBANA Mexican Gastronomy, serving quesabirria tacos with consomme
- Mangal Mediterranean, offering a mini bowl with chicken shawarma, falafel or gyro
- The Wooden Pearl, with a grilled skirt steak bite finished in house-made chimichurri
- Stone Groove Stillhouse, plating Japanese yellowtail on a blue corn tostada
- Zabon Ramen and Rolls, with crispy rice topped with tuna poke
- 206 BCE, bringing its best-selling garlic noodles with cajun sausage
- En Cultura Mexican BBQ, serving smoked wagyu short rib over garlic mash
- The Kroft, with a choice of portabella fries or a pastrami slider
- Marrakesh the Restaurant, offering bourrek bastilla with honey lamb or lemon chicken
- Le Parfait Paris, with a vanilla caramel tart or a Snow White-inspired poison apple tart
- Randy's Donuts, handing out its classic iced and glazed rounds
- Union Burger Society, with a wagyu slider topped with jalapeno bacon jam
Vegetarian and vegan options are sprinkled throughout the lineup, and Mini Monster's color-changing Mood Ring Lemonade will hand out free mood rings to the first 100 guests.
Beyond the food, the night leans into its throwback theme with Lorcana card games, D-Com trivia and a DJ set from Clark Chuka.
Two ticket options are available: a 7-taste Passport for the full crawl or a 4-taste Petite Pass for a lighter sampling. Greer's OC readers get 15% off by entering the code "greer" at checkout here.
Tickets and the full vendor list are available at anaheimpackingdistrict.com/worldtaste.
