Orlando's dining scene hit a bittersweet note this week with the closure of Black Rooster Taqueria's Curry Ford West location, according to WFTV. Patrons were able to enjoy their final brunch at the popular spot this past Sunday, marking the end of its brief history at the intersection of Curry Ford Road and South Crystal Lake Drive.

Despite the closure's nod to "thoughtful consideration" that came with expressing gratitude for the community's support, a clear reason has not been offered for the shut-down, which might leave regulars wondering about the sudden change, the restaurant did share a heartfelt message on social-owned platforms—acknowledging the memories made and the trust given by their patrons.

For enthusiasts of Black Rooster's flavorful fare, all hope is not lost. The business, owned by John and Juliana Calloway, retains its original outpost located on North Mills Avenue near Montana Street in Orlando’s Mills 50 District. Additionally, it boasts a location inside Inter & Co Stadium in the Parramore neighborhood, ClickOrlando reported.

The owners, in their social media announcement, preserved a sense of optimism and dedication to their craft, stating, "Our family’s dream has always been to run a small family-owned taqueria with excellent food and service. So, please don’t be a stranger" as detailed by ClickOrlando. The restaurant’s feelings of regret were palpable as they bid farewell to a part of their expansion dream which began with high hopes discussed on the Florida Foodie podcast.

While the reason behind the closure remains unspecified, the community’s support for the Black Rooster Taqueria brand appears to stand strong with continued patronage expected at the other locations where their culinary journey can persist.
