Very welcoming environment. Female staff was friendly and helpful. I tried the vegeterian taco. Tasty, needed some cheese, stringy cheese and some heat like jalapeño. Maybe I shoulda got a quesadilla lol but the corn tortilla was phenomenal. It would have been a subpar taco without it. And they included the lime. Will be back to try some something else during happy hour

We came to Black Rooster Taqueria for dinner with two other couples. The restaurant was a little smaller than we expected but we managed to sit together. We ordered an assortment of dishes and drinks. Overall, the food was delicious. The tacos had a good ratio of fillings to tortillas - which they were pressing on-site. The flavors were reasonably authentic and everything tasted fresh. We only found the Pozole to be slightly salty but, it was a generous and comforting portion. The Margaritas seemed pre-mixed but, they were actually quite enjoyable. The staff were really diligent but, with so many orders coming left and right, the service experienced minor hiccups. That said, we definitely recommend checking it out.

Another local legend in the books for me. I don't know why it took me so long to come here, but in terms of word-of-mouth, this place is like in the top five of popularity. So I grabbed some friends and went to see what this place was all about.

Ambiance is very good. It's like a Hispanic dive bar. Very tight and comfy and with very fun artwork all over the walls. It's counter service, and has an open kitchen. Very nice employees all around, and you can see the gang having fun in the kitchen, just creating a good vibe.

As for the food, well, it was out of this world. There are 10 main tacos on their menu, so we ordered one of each, of course. Because if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

The menu said that these are corn tortillas, but there's something special about these corn tortillas. They act like flour tortillas. They are very soft and fold very well. I didn't have one break on me the whole time. Very good tortillas.

As for the fillings, they really give you great bang for your buck. The tortillas are filled up and couldn't get any fuller honestly. High quality stuff. Every ingredient tasted very vibrant and fresh.

And unlike other taco shops that just give you different combinations of the same eight ingredients five at a time, this place has unique ingredients for each one of their 10 tacos. Something small, and maybe not everyone would notice, but I noticed, and I thank the Black Rooster.

Looking back, I couldn't possibly remember all of the tacos and describe all of them, but I will highlight some things.

The Chicken Tinga was the biggest surprise for how good it was compared to initial predictions.
The Atlantic cod in the Crispy Fish taco was amazing. It's a fatty enough fish to really be something substantial.
Don't sleep on their vegetarian options. Their smoked kale was omg, mind blowingly good.

I finished up with a Tres Leches Cake (3 milk soaked sponge cake). This was ok. If you're a tres leches fan, but don't want to order too many tacos, for fear of not having room for dessert, just get the taco.

Overall, I understand now. This place was amazing. It's not even fair how much better it is over all other taco places in town.

In the beginning the service and food was amazing, now that there have been staff changes and quality changes the food and attention to detail is lacking. Pork fat tacos really were pork fat tacos, steak and seasoning use to be better and the service was so much more upbeat than now. I don't know the girl that was there in the beginning she was vibrant and upbeat and always made sure the orders were on point! But I wish she was still there she always went above and beyond the expectations to make the food great and amazing!
