Lynne VieraJune 26, 2019Little 14-seat slice of taco heaven. Friendly staff. Super reasonably priced. Homemade tortillas. Yum.
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014Lean pork marinated with guajillo chiles and pineapple in a fresh chewy maize tortilla creates a uniquely sweet and spicy taco that is equally delicious adorned with plenty of fresh cilantro. Read more
Travel + LeisureMarch 10, 2014Even Chef René Redzepi of famed Noma loves this intimate, four-table taqueria in the East Village. Standouts include tongue tacos and house-made tortillas folded around soft beef suadero.
tacos are much larger and heartier than most - pony up the extra .50 for the homemade tortillas and get the salted beef, the sausage, and the roast pork.
Hunter OrahoodFebruary 16, 2014This place is pretty epic. Highlights carnitas tacos // cochinita pibil (anything) this is the slow roasted pork cooked in banana leaves and served with pickled peppers and onions. So good!
Phil HempJune 30, 2015Really cute authentic Mexican. Homemade tacos!! Great value. I had the prawns and they were king prawns cooked infront of me. Great value at only $5- Doug WamplerOctober 1, 2014The chorizo and papas quesadilla is fantastic. Get the handmade tortillas. Watch out for the chunky red salsa in the set of 3 little bowls. It'll burn you!
Anoop RanganathAugust 16, 2013My favorite taco truck in the East Village opened a storefront with a slew of new entree options and the same great prices.
Public House WineSeptember 3, 2014This place is secretly BYOB. Get wine at the little store next door, and enjoy some of the best tacos of your life.- Terri RSeptember 14, 2020Really liked the pork carnitas and al pastor tacos. Definitely pay extra for the handmade tortillas- so good!
Mike JacobsonOctober 21, 2013Spend the extra .50 on the handmade tortillas. Great: Carne, the vegetarian taco with a crazy name. Not as good: the shrimp taco, the quesadillas.
Andrew LevineSeptember 9, 2020Unbelievable Mexican food. Best I’ve had in the East village. No thrills and priced accordingly. Love Morelos!
Vivienne GucwaAugust 10, 2014Their elote (roasted corn on the cob with pepper, cheese, lime) is a thing of beauty. Their burritos are the best around.
Perri SilverAugust 23, 2013EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS! Get the cochinitas taco and splurge for the homemade tortilla. You won't be disappointed.- Alex HunterOctober 12, 2021Solid Mexican in the East Village. Vegetarian tacos, burritos, and the cheese enchiladas! It’s pretty small so I tend to carry out.
Julie DbjayNovember 11, 2018Shrimp and beef tacos are amazing, get the homemade tortilla, elote is very good too
ben mAugust 17, 2014The truck's storefront doesn't miss a beat. Food is great when you are there and their delivery is delicious and quick too.
Alex RobertsonJune 11, 2022Tacos were good. Skimped on the carne a bit. Skip the homemade tortillas maybe tbh
Tallulah YoungbloodAugust 17, 2015The tacos were great, loved the salsa Verde and the habanero sauce was nice and spicy.
Lana MySeptember 16, 2013Finally some REAL Mexican food in NYC. No frills, small space, not fast because everything is fresh. They also deliver.
Jinnie LOctober 15, 2014spicy chicken quesadilla was large n yummy♥($5) I usually get tostada here so good :)
Anton MonastyrskyNovember 29, 2017Is good to grab something quick. Not for fine dining. 1 tacos and 1 quessadia = 13$
Lilit MarcusOctober 20, 2013They charge an extra fifty cents for homemade tortillas vs store-bought ones. It's worth it, obviously.
Kevin SimonsonAugust 26, 2013El pastor was better than steak, but I don't want to taco bout it. - Rod Stewart

"Best is the birria filling, a sort of chile-braised pot roast popular in East LA. Dig that yellow cheese! Regular double-tortilla soft shells also available."
