    Tacos
    Elizabeth M.

    I thought this was just okay. I felt the prices were astronomical for the amount of food they give you, but I guess that's to be expected when you're on Disney property. The tacos were okay - I found them to be extremely greasy (like grease was just dripping all over) which kinda grossed me out. I can't say it was the cut of meat because I've had Barbacoa at other places and it's not been like this. Also, the toppings were so cold that it made the already not-so-hot meat cold very quickly. Probably would skip this place in the future. There are better options at DS.

    This was my first taco cone and I hope it's not my last. I was at Disney springs looking for a quick dinner. This food truck is near the circ de solel entrances inside the shopping center. This was the something I quickly chose off the menu. I had several people stop me where I was sitting and eating to ask what it was. It looks HUGE but the bottom part was lettuce. Very similar to a taco salad. I ordered chicken and ate it with a fork. It was a short line, short wait, and I think it was only $12. A really great find! Delicious!

    I love that Disney springs has these little food trucks! It's something quick and easy to get. It is right by the AMC, so nice little dinner go the movies. The service is super quick and they do have plenty of space to eat there. The only thing I'd say about this spot specifically is that I do wish they'd add a bit more to it. It was a lot of tortilla vs stuff in it.

    First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! The service was great and super fast. There was no line when we got there around 11am. The food was delicious and they give you huge portions, i was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't even finish the taco cone cause i got so full.

    It's a good truck and probably the best bang for your buck at Disney Springs The birria quesadilla was hot and delicious. The consumè needs work but the quesadillas was great. The food truck sits directly in the sun. FYI

    For a quick lunch with meat and vegetarian options, check out this food truck, located (accurate as of 7-2-25) at Disney Springs. My husband and I split a taco cone with vegan chorizo and a cilantro rice and beans. Both were fabulous! Very flavorful with just enough spice and not too much heat. Recommended!

    This was a food truck at Disney Springs. The line was moving very slowly at first and it seemed like they were understaffed. Once another team member came out to help, the line moved much quicker and things became more efficient. The rice bowl was really good and full of flavor. The fried taco shell looked great and had a nice crispy texture, but the filling was just okay. The bottom was mostly lettuce, which made it feel a bit underwhelming and unbalanced. I was expecting more substance and flavor.

    If you're craving something quick and you happen to be located at Disney Springs then you will likely find their food truck lurking around somewhere. With an only a few options of tacos, a bowl or quesadilla you shouldn't have to think too hard about what you want. I ordered the tacos. Their were extremely juicy and packed full of meat. Some might consider too juicy so make sure to get plenty of napkins and a fork. Food trucks are my go to, when I'm at Disney springs on weekends, due to the volume of people within the shopping center.

    Chips and dips
    Carolyn J.

    We popped by here to get food and save time in waiting in a restaurant. The line wasn't that long. Unfortunately it took us a half hour just to place our order (standing line in front of food truck), so we could've just gone to a restaurant. Once the order was placed, the food was ready quickly. I got chips with various dips, and tacos. The food was absolutely delicious! I think they might need more help. Or may need to force people to look at menu before getting to front of line, lol. I would return, but not if there's more than a few people in line.

    Birria tacos. Pretty good overall.
    Vannessa W.

    I'm giving 3 stars -- one for the good service we received, one for the menu variety which includes a vegan/vegetarian option, and a third for the tasty taco filling. However, the tortillas were pretty stale and stiff, which was disappointing given the price.

    Rachyl D.

    A taco cone?! Yes please! My husband loved this. I had a rice bowl as the cone wasn't gluten free, and it was also really good (and more food for the same price)! We will definitely be back when we visit Disney Springs.

    Taco Cone Brisket Barbacoa
    Mia O.

    Solid pretty good if you are hungry and craving Mexican, but not great. We the taco cone (be prepared for really Smokey flavor), birria, and rice and beans. Chips were good and the shell for the taco cone was really good, super crispy/ flakey and good texture. Guac tasted a little bit old, and they got a couple of minor things wrong with our order. But there was only one lady taking and handing out orders so honestly understandable! She was amazing though cudos to her.

    Burrito Bowl with Pork
    Jamie P.

    Was looking for an easy dinner in Disney Springs tonight and this food truck had no wait. We've seen it in another spot on location but hadn't tried it until now. We ordered the Birria Quesadilla and Burrito Bowl with Pork. It took 5 minutes before we had our order. The food came out hot and tasted fresh. The meats were delightfully juicy and the jus with the quesadilla was flavorful but not spicy. We live near another 4R location and found the food truck meat was juicy and not at all dry unlike the restaurants versions. I look forward to trying more things off their cantina menu!

This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!

It was delicious! Sweet and a mild kick. They provided a medium salsa and basket of chips. I really enjoyed the salsa since it is more minced and mildly salty but just the right amount of heat.Then we ordered the Queso which is not standard melted cheeses but a thick and stretchy cheese like when you do a mozzarella pull when it's piping hot. There were a few types of chips and pretzels. My friend and I shared the 4 tacos. She had 2 mushroom tacos and I had one grilled fish and one carne asada. The fish was tender and flaky. I wish I had asked for the flour tortilla since I'm not a big fan of corn tortilla but it was still flavorful. The carne asada was also good but not spectacular.

To be clear, I have no problem with being asked to leave after closing. The problem was the owner's arrogant, aggressive, and humiliating way of speaking to paying customers. We were not loud, causing trouble, or refusing to leave. One polite sentence would have solved everything. The most disturbing part is that this was not an untrained employee--it was the OWNER. That means the disrespect comes directly from the top. He was happy to accept our money at 10:50, but twenty minutes later treated us like garbage he needed removed. Good food cannot compensate for an owner who shows this much contempt toward his own customers. There are plenty of taco restaurants in Orlando run by people who understand basic manners and appreciate your business. Spend your money at one of them. I will never return to Black Rooster Taqueria, and I strongly recommend avoiding it.
