This review is based on the "Stress-Less Lunch" event and Disco Cheetah. On September 18, 2024, there was an amazing event called Stress-Less Lunch, where a selection of food trucks gave out 100% free food. You simply line up, receive a ticket stub from a staff member, and redeem it for a food item. It's strictly one per person. The event happened every Wednesday in September and usually sold out quickly, so you had to come early to wait in line. It started at 12 PM, but I waited from 11:15 AM and got my food an hour later. According to social media, it was sponsored by Cadillac Fairview, a commercial real estate company that owns the nearby Pacific Centre mall. The location of the event was at Robson Square, right outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. As for the food at Disco Cheetah, it's absolutely delicious--it's the bomb! I got a bowl of Korean food with battered boneless chicken thigh, multigrain rice, greens, corn, edamame, pickled red cabbage, and scallions. You also have a choice of sauces to go with the dish. I chose garlic ranch sauce and chili sauce. The chicken thigh was crispy, and every bite had a satisfying crunch. It was full of strong, salty flavors. The greens and rice complemented the dish nutritionally, balancing the salty flavors of the sauces and adding softer, saucy textures to contrast the crispy battered chicken. Big 5 out of 5 stars to the Disco Cheetah and Cadillac Fairview event staff based on this visit. I'm so glad I came out to this event and waited patiently for an hour for the food. The weather was nice, but the air was a little chilly, so it wasn't too bad of a wait. The lines were neatly organized by the event staff, which made the wait less stressful, so kudos to them for that. Disco Cheetah has a restaurant on Davie Street in downtown, so I will definitely consider visiting Disco Cheetah there to try their other dishes. read more

Disco Cheetah - Food Trucks Near Me

Disco Cheerah food truck on Howe St by Robson Square. Been a while since tried it and happen across it on my lunch walk. I recall the portions were always large, so I usually got for salad bowl to make it lighter. I just noticed that customers were using the self-serve sauces. The chicken was very large and juicey. The salad had a mix of corn, beans, shredded carrots and pickles. Strictly take out, but can get a seat around Robson Square. read more

I absolutely love Disco Cheetah! I had ordered their salad bowl with Tofu and fried chicken for delivery. The food was still hot when I received it and their chicken is one of the crispiest I have ever eaten! It was crispy even after it was cold which is a miracle. If you are looking for a healthy yet filling option, look no further than their salad bowl. This one has greens instead of rice at the bottom. The tofu on top is the most delicious piece of tofu ever. They have a tofu convert in me. This is my go to place for an order now! Definitely recommend read more

Big Night in! My boyfriend never has to ask me what I would like to order for our night in. He knows I would never say no to Disco Cheetah.  My Ultimate Take out Food Disco Cheetah, best tofu I've ever had! Love their choice of rice, salad or fries... I normally go with a combination of veggies and rice. Love the sauces -  Vegan Plum Mayo and Chili Mayo sauces are my favorite! My boyfriend is a huge fan of their KFC and fries! With Chili Chili sauce and Chili Mayo sauce.  Really good value for amazing food! 5 Stars! #YelpsBigNightIn #vancouver #vancityeats #stayin #stayhome #orderin #supportlocal #localbizlove #lvancityfoodies #yelpvancouver read more

Great value, tasty food, and reasonable portions! I've been to South Korea several times and I honestly have to say that the Korean Fried Chicken served at Disco Cheetah was legit! They serve the chicken with a sticky sweet and spicy sauce over a bed of your basic McCain fries. It comes with lots of Korean Mayo and spices so everything goes really well together. Overall, it was a very filling lunch for $10 and I definitely want to come back to try their rice bowls! FYI, I've seen them at the North Vancouver night market and parked right beside the Vancouver Art Gallery in downtown. read more

Anything Korean and I'm in. Finally got a chance to try this place out for lunch since it's a food truck and it will be at different locations so be sure to use the Street Food app to track their whereabouts. They've recently been coming to downtown quite a lot so I finally got to try it out on my Food Truck Friday! They were situated next to Tacofino and Mom's Grilled Cheese Truck by the Vancouver Art Gallery and there were at least 10 people in front of me when I went at 1:30pm. I almost opted out for Tacofino since there was barely a line there but one does not change their mind when they're set on eating at a specific food truck on Friday! The Chili Chicken was sold out by the time I got to the truck and the Beef Bulgogi Meatballs were sold out while I was standing in line.... so I had the Pork Galbi Steak burrito which was decently filling with it's variety of veggies and tender juicy pork wrapped in a spinach tortilla. The only down side of this burrito was that the juices from the pork and veggies all trickled down to the bottom of the burrito making the last few bites of the tortilla mushy (which I'm definitely not a fan of) so if you happen to work nearby, I'd suggest bringing it back to the office and cutting it up in half so that there isn't too much mush on either sides! Would definitely come back to try the Beef Bulgogi Meatballs and will probably opt for the rice bowl to avoid the mushy tortilla. You also have the option to choose your level of spice which is Mild, Medium or Spicy. Even if you don't choose the right heat, they've got additional chili sauces you can add on afterwards! read more

BEST FOOD TRUCK, cannot find this anywhere else! i'm never in the area at the right time so the last time I ate here was at the dineout food truck festival last year but today i learned that theyre at the art gallery every weekday and i literally ran across the street. disco cheetah has the best rice bowls and the best employees and service read more

I'm a huge fan their Korean fried chicken, and when I get the fries (no salad or rice bowl or tofu for me, thank you very much), it's enough deep fried goodness to last me the entire day. I'm glad that they have stayed open during COVID, because the construction in that entire area around the art gallery has made made things very unappealing. read more

This was a while back when it was my first time trying Disco Cheetah during some food truck festival at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The food was really delicious, and the portions were quite decent as well. Van Tofu Salad Bowl (5/5) The tofu was super crispy, and the gochujang sauce was super flavourful and not too spicy. The salad greens were fresh, and the corn was sweet. There were also some green peas and pickled cabbage as well. They don't skimp on the protein either, which was nice. My family got the fried chicken, which they said was good but nothing super special. read more

For a moment let's forget that ALL foodcarts in Vancouver are overpriced,... Disco Cheetah was one that I had not heard of before and appeared today as part of what looked like a mini-foodcart festival at Granville and 10th. I asked the owners what they suggest from their limited menu (basically 3 "meat" types that come in 3 forms: Quesedilla, taco, burrito). They said Taco so I could try 2. I like that concept but in today's gourmet taco market that usually means sample sized,... Not so in this case, I received a Korean beef and spicy chicken taco, both on a medium sized flour tortilla and not small at all. The flavours were good and the toppings healthy. Do not be fooled by my photo which makes the tacos seem small,.. they are above average and for $8 for 2, I think the way to go. read more

First time trying this food truck with my coworkers. We wanted something new other than the usual salad. We ordered from the ritual app. I ordered the fried chicken salad bowl and my coworkers got the fried chicken rice bowl. Really good value! I'm full and I still have 2 big pieces of fried chicken left. The guy who handed me the food was very friendly and the food was ready as soon as I got there. If you want fried chicken, come here. read more

Disco Cheetah - Fried Chicken salad bowl - Food Trucks Near Me

Disco Cheetah is a Korean-Mexican fusion food truck serving rice bowls, tacos, burritos and grilled cheese qeusadillas using Alberta beef bulgogi, and Fraser Valley chili chicken. They can be found around Vancouver, farmer markets, festivals, and events. For times and location follow Disco Cheetah on Twitter at @yvrDCtaco . Look for the bright yellow truck. You can't miss it! This is a cool concept serving a niche market but one the major issues with me is the flavours get old fast. All tacos have the same combination of toppings which results in everything tasting the same. WHAT WE TRIED: - Vegan Tofu Taco | $5 - BBQ Pork Taco | $5 - Sweet Chili Chicken Taco | $5 - Meatball Taco | $5 - Small Pork Rice Bowl | $6 OVERALL IMPRESSION OF DISCO CHEETAH: Disco Cheetah addresses the niche market of korean style mexician tacos and burritos. One thing that bugs me is the lack of thought on using toppings and sauces that compliment the protein. When I looked at my food I wondered if I got the wrong order because I ordered 4 different tacos but they all looked the same. The flavours became muddled together and hard to tell which protein I was eating. It would be nice to see more thought on using ingredients to compliment the protein. A good example is for them to look at Tako's menu which opened after them. They also serve korean-mexican fusion. Personally I would rather commute to Tako if I'm craving for this type of cuisine. The korean tacos are tastier, and cheaper at Tako too on a regular day. Plus they have happy hour prices. The Good: - Nice that they started the korean-mexican trend in BC The Bad: - Everything tastes the same regardless of what we order. read more

I love Korean Fried Chicken. I was at the Cherry Blossom Festival and spotted the Disco Cheetah truck. I got the Korean Fried chicken with fries. Six to seven pieces of boneless, deep fried chicken pieces, with a sweet glaze. They also had three sauces to add, a pineapple hot sauce, a garlic mayo, and a kimchi mayo. I like how the chicken is boneless, and it was perfectly crispy, and not overly dressed. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy. The pineapple hot sauce is a must. It's a little sweet, a little spicy. Topped with pickled ginger and green onion, I really liked how everything came together. Would return to try the fried chicken rice bowl! read more

Disco Cheetah - KFC with fries - Food Trucks Near Me

Tried them out at the shipyard's night market. their lineup was the longest at the food truck area so we couldn't pass by without trying! we tried the K.F.C rice bowl, pulled pork taco, and pulled pork mini burgers for our little one. Though as a Korean who is serious about Korean fried chickens, I dont think I can call their LFc authentic but the dish was tasty. alsowe loved the addition of edamame and red cabbage pickle which made the food instagram worthy(and made the dish look healthier!) the taco was good but i would pass the pulled pork buns next time. definitely worth a try! read more

Disco Cheetah - K.F.C rice bowl taco pulled pork burger - Food Trucks Near Me

On a sunny Tuesday I decided to venture out of my office and try a new food truck. The line up for this truck can be long but the good news is you can wait for your food on the steps of Art Gallery to soak up the sun. I tried the pulled pork slider with a side of Korean fries which was enough to fill me up. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Overall I'll be back to try more options from this delicious truck! read more

Had the Korea fried Chicken rice bowl add kimchi and Korean Fried Chicken french fries add cheese. Chicken was definitly the highlight. No fat, well fried, not greasy. The cheese I'd say is a must add to the fries. Which were simple and nice. The bowl was a nice balance to the fries as there is quite an assortment of vegetables. However, the rice was hard and stuck together in hard chunks (maybe because it was end of day for them?). The kimchi was bad though - totally flavorless. Overall the chicken was good, but the accompanying foods didn't stand out. Don't see us seeking this place out again. read more

Best fried chicken out of a food truck! Delicious sauces packed with flavour. For $11 you can't beat the portion you get. I couldn't finish it all and had some for lunch and dinner. read more

I had m their chilli chicken salad ($10) today. It tasted very good but didn't have a wow factor. The chicken thighs had a flavourful marinade and sear. It was not v spicy. The veggies were fresh but wish there was a bit more dressing. The egg salad seemed out of place. The ladies working the truck were very nice, polite and smiley. Great for a quick lunch in the middle of downtown. read more

OMG, this food truck is AMAZING and even has sweet vegan options including a cashew mayo! I had the wonderful rice bowl with just-right- spicy- tofu. A great serving of edamame and veggies on top of the rice with tofu (or choice of protein including their popular Korean fried chicken), with all the hot sauce and/ or mayo you can stand to pour on top. Such a great option downtown, especially as spring springs:). read more

Value: 1/10, $9 for two small tacos Taste: 6/10, Beef - OK, nothing stellar. Chicken - hated it Quality: 7/10, fresh ingredients, reasonable materials Presentation: Its a food truck! Service: 7/10, they were friendly enough, but 20 minutes to get an order placed and filled. Payment: They take cash or credit. If cash, you don't get a receipt. If credit, they use Square, so only electronic receipt, and if you care about personal information and privacy you just lost it. Recommendation: Very disappointing, I would neither recommend nor go back read more

Disco Cheetah - I don't think you can make a smaller taco, around 4", $9 for two of these - Food Trucks Near Me

Oh these were yummy! I tried the food cart when it was based at the plaza of nations (downtown Vancouver) food cart night on a Saturday. I don't know why this food truck has never crossed my radar, but it will not be forgotten. Ordered two tacos (2 for $9) and they were the chicken and beef tacos. I tried the beef first - the beef was seasoned (marinated?) and packed with flavour. The chicken was good, but I think had more veggies than I would have liked. Of the two I liked the beef more, but both tacos were jam packed and they do have a good amount of meat in them! I'd try these again. read more

3.9/5 korean fried chicken (KFC) rice bowl. Tried the KFC and fries, no go. fried stuff on fried stuff is overwhelming. Paired with rice and salad makes a good tasty meal. would I return. Yes please. read more

Was excited about the new location opening on Davie St, but after ordering my lunch the payment option is limited to 'tap' with debit (a feature I declined when my bank offered it), or credit. Although I had both a debit card in my hand and cash I was not able to pay and went for Thai food instead. read more

Of course I'm going to be drawn to anything disco! And when this yellow truck pulls so often into my town, whether at Steel & Oak or at the farmers' market or the annual epic food cart fest, I have to get them at least once out of sheer laziness. And with YVR not being known for its high-density ... of tacos, and good ones even fewer and and far between, Disco Cheetah's Korean tacos leave the others in the dust. They're spicy, but with kimchi and Korean BBQ instead of peppers and cilantro, and are generously topped with cabbage and fixins' but not to the point where you can't pick up the tortilla without everything falling apart. The tacos are just the right size and two for $9 (or $5 each) makes a nice shared light meal. I'm game to try to a burrito version the next time I catch the Disco Cheetah in my 'hood. Kimchi fried rice and spicy beef or chicken sounds just about like a little bit of heaven rolled into a (locally made) tortilla. read more

This little food truck may not come across as the most exciting from it's appearance at first glance but does pop out some awesome and interesting food. I've been there twice - both times because my partner loves supporting the 'under dog' businesses that don't have a huge line. they serve Mexican favs but with a Korean flavour twist. The first time we passed by near the Vancouver Art Gallery we tried the chicken and the beef tacos. There were only 2 people in front of us so we got our food pretty quick. I enjoyed the beef the most since it resembled a typical taco but had a Korean spice/ sweetness to it. I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken taco (mainly since I don't like fruit with savoury meals) but my boy friend enjoyed it. It had a sweat/savoury flavour with the pineapples added to it. We recently went back since we really enjoyed the beef tacos and they were stationed at the Khatsalano Festival. The line was quite huge! It took a while for our order to be taken and for us to get food since there were only two people in the truck to pump out food and the beef taco tasted very different than the first time (softer meat, sweeter in flavour). We weren't sure if it was because they ran out of food early in the day and that the second batch of food tasted different than it typically does due to last minute food prep OR if they changed the flavour of the meals - we preferred the food the first time around than our recent experience. The service is super friendly (they provide awesome recommendations and love cracking jokes). I wish they made the food truck itself look more "flashy" so that more people tried it - but after the Khats Festival experience, they may have developed a clientele even with it's cute, simplistic look! read more

At the Shipyards Night Market, I decided to try Disco Cheetah, which is a Korean Mexican fusion truck. They feature tacos and burritos but with a Korean twist. They roam around everywhere, but usually around the Strathcona area and are often at any food cart festivals. Be sure to check their social media to see where they are. I decided to get the Bulgolgi Beef Burrito which is huge! It was filled with bulgolgi beef, kimchi fried rice, pickled red cabbage, kimchi slaw, spinach, and Korean chili mayo. I loved the sweet flavours of the bulgolgi sauce mixed with the hint of spice from the kimchi. A really good twist to your typical Mexican burrito. read more

Today I had the K.F.C. (Korean fried chicken). Overall the chicken was very good. I wish the fries were a little more crispy, or even give the option of serving with rice...similar to le tigre. Anyways, the portion was pretty good, but I kinda wish I got the rice bowl as I was still a little hungry afterwards. read more

Horrible service. Didn't even apologize for messing up our order. Seem like he didn't even believed us...like we were lying. Didn't even want to replace it. Just offered a side of sauce. I'm never eating here again. read more

You make me feel like dancing... Diso Cheetah... At four token per burrito, taco or quesedilla... This is a good reason for dancing in the street. WHAMMY Kimchi and chicken soft shell taco...

They are right outside of my work and I'm totally hooked as of Sunday. Chicken rice bowl is amazing. I just took a first bite of the bulgogi slider and it's also crazy good. WOW. read more

The food is fine, but they refused to give me water, even when I informed them this was against Canadian law.

I have had Disco Cheetah on multiple occasions and always been a fan. However, it appears to be running under new management/staff that are not as friendly. Additionally, one of the new servers continually said "tap and tip" after every card transaction. This was annoying to hear over a 5 minute period while waiting for food. It's also not necessary to verbally tell people to tip when tipping options are clearly displayed on their tablet. Food is still great. read more

I'm a burrito fan. It took awhile for me to buy into the hype, but I've gotta say, it's a handy way to eat a bunch of deliciousness. Disco Cheetah - that's Wednesday for my fellow Railtowners - and the burrito special for $9. I get the beef - it is so good. A little bit of spice, and pretty filling too. They also take credit cards! This is a big deal. The staff are super friendly, and the food is pretty fast (5 minutes or so, I'd say). read more

Had their chicken tacos today at the food cart festival. Chicken was tender, lots of greens, decent portion, amazing customer service. A bit of a wait for food but not too long. read more

I can't get enough of the kimchi chicken tacos. I've tried the beef (I'm not gonna go near the tofu, but it's available if that's your thing), and it's good, but the chicken is great! I get three of these things for $11 and I am a happy, happy guy. read more

Tried it today at the Kits Farmer's Market. The chicken taco was amazing - spicy and a little sweet and ready in under 10 minutes! The only drawback is that they have a really small menu - basically just 3 dishes with the same ingredients served different ways (rice bowl, burrito, taco). Also wish they had sides of kimche. read more

I loved it! I got the Chicken Tacos today at the Shipyard night market. I don't normally go for tacos but wow were these good! Yes they are more on the expensive side but they were generous with the slaw when I asked for extra. The people serving it were really nice too. I would definitely go back to that cart. Maybe next time I'll try the tofu one. read more
