Introduction to Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge
Before we jump in to talking about the Ronto Wrap, let us give you a quick backgrounder on Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. It is truly one of the most immersive lands that we've ever experienced—nothing comes close to rivaling it except for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter over at Universal Studios.
This land comes complete with two rides: Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, which by the way is hands down the best theme park ride ever. And let us not forget that you can take a ride on the "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy", the Millennium Falcon. We are talking a full scale Millennium Falcon sitting in the middle of Galaxy's edge, even the most casual Star Wars fans among you may geek out just a little when you're standing next to this spaceship.

Besides the rides, you'll also find some of the most immersive experiences that we've ever encountered in a theme park. We can personally vouch for the Droid Depot and the very real ritual of building your own droid.
There's also Savi's Workshop, where from what we've seen you have a chance to really become immersed in the process of selecting and building your own lightsaber. Oga's Cantina with DJ R-3X, which from what we've seen seems to be straight out of a Star Wars movie set.
These immersive experiences extend to the food with blue and green milk, and of course, the legendary Ronto Wrap!
Ronto Roasters Theme
As with every other nook and cranny of this highly themed land, it is easy to feel like you are truly in Black Spire Outpost on planet Batuu. Ronto Roasters is no exception to that rule, from the moment you step inside of this quick service restaurant and lay eyes on the droid 'fire' roasting your meat, you feel like you're really there.
That's right, there's a droid roasting meat under an engine-turned ‘fire’ pit at the center of the restaurant. You should know that the droid is standing there diligently roasting an animal that is native to Tatooine.

So, what Is a Ronto Wrap and what's in it?
If you're reading this, like us you're late to the game and haven't tried it yet. When we set out to try our first Ronto Wrap, we hand no idea what was in it besides the grilled pork sausage and that it was served on pita. That's it. Oh, and people seemed to love it.
We came to find that the sausage came topped with roasted pork, grilled sausage, peppercorn sauce and tangy slaw.
This sandwich is available in two varieties – a lunch/dinner version and a breakfast version.
Is a Ronto Wrap Spicy?
If you're wondering about the spice level of the Ronto Wrap, here's what we experienced. It does have a little bit of a kick provided by the peppercorn sauce.
But as someone who doesn't like spice, I found it to be quite mild. My husband who loves spicy foods didn't register it as particularly spicy to him either. So if you're not a fan of spicy foods, we think that you will you still be able to enjoy this wrap.

We experienced this first hand when trying out the Ronto Wrap. While not allergy specific, our little guy is not into sauces and many of the enhancements on this sandwich. It was very easy to get him a plain sandwich without all of the toppings.

Our First Bite of the Ronto Wrap
We have to admit that we were way behind everyone else in trying the Ronto Wrap - but it was very much worth the wait. We all enjoyed the sandwich and found the sausage to be cooked perfectly and had that 'snap' you get from perfectly grilled pork sausage.
Personally, I wasn't sure how I would feel about the toppings but the tangy slaw and peppercorn sauce all worked well together. Two things I would have liked, and I'm being picky here, was a little more sauce and a slightly thinner pita. Neither of these things hindered my enjoyment of the sandwich.
We all enjoyed the Ronto Wrap and would certainly get it again or try the breakfast version depending on when we were in the area.
The sandwiches were filling enough that I could not finish mine and ended up leaving behind a snack for my husband. He was overjoyed - he got two meals out of one! As I mentioned, we are curious about is the breakfast version of this sandwich. The next chance we get for a breakfast in Galaxy's edge, we will give it a try and report back our findings!

After experiencing the Ronto Wrap for the first time, it's safe to say, we were not disappointed. It was definitely worth the wait! And it was deserving of all the hype.
Now that we've tried it, we can see why the Ronto Wrap has bit of a cult following. If you're heading to Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, we highly recommend giving the Ronto Wrap a try.
