food IS a theme park
Let me tell you a little secret about Disney World food…Animal Kingdom has some of the best!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This park often gets overlooked because of the plethora of iconic snacks at Magic Kingdom and the international treats at EPCOT, but Animal Kingdom has some absolute BANGERS. There are so many snack stands throughout the park with eats that we keep coming back for again and again, so when one of those spots introduced a new offering, you know I had to stop by and try it!
Shopping around Disney Springs can build up quite the appetite (and credit card debt, but we won’t talk about that).
Disney Springs Food Trucks
If you’re looking for somewhere to eat during your store-hopping frenzy, perhaps you should give one of the Disney Springs food trucks a try? Want unique mac and cheese options? There’s a food truck for that. Want zany hot dog choices? They’ve got that too. But what we’re returning to today is the quick-service destination for those who’re craving Mexican-inspired options — the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck. [Read more…]
Look what just rolled into Disney Springs… the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck!
Currently taking up residence in the Disney Springs Marketplace, the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck is a new venture for the 4R Restaurant Group (home to the popular 4 Rivers Smokehouses in the Orlando area).
While Food Trucks are not new to Disney Springs, the 4R Cantina is the first non-Disney owned Food Truck to be regularly based in Disney Springs.
The 4 Rivers Smokehouses are well known in the area for serving up barbecue. However, 4 Rivers founder John Rivers shared the story behind the Food Truck’s cuisine. When Disney Springs approached Rivers with the idea of a partnership, it was understood that barbecue could not be the focus since The Polite Pig — operated by James and Julie Petrakis who are also known for their presence in the Orlando food scene — already serves up barbecue in Disney Springs.
So, Rivers was inspired to learn more about barbacoa, which takes traditional barbecue and layers it with Mexican flavors. Hence, the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck!
