Tacos Morelos is Mas o Menos

After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop. And then on the corner of North 7th and Bedford Ave, right near the Salvation Army, was Tacos Morelos.

While the truck had other entrees, I was purely interested in a taco. For $2.50, I could choose different tacos like chicken, goat, beef, pork and more. I’m a carne asada type of girl, so I went with a beef taco. I was asked if I wanted everything on it, and this included cilantro (Caryn’s favorite), onions, avocado sauce and a spicy sauce.

The guy went easy on the spicy sauce, and even after I dumped more spicy sauce on it, there still wasn’t much of a kick to it. I found the taco to be good though, and I really enjoyed the avocado sauce on it. Compared to other street tacos though, it wasn’t that big. Most of the meat could be contained in the soft tortillas, and unlike recent taco truck experiences, you could pretty much eat it all in a few bites. At the last taco truck I visited, the meat was so plentiful, it didn’t fit in the taco shell, and as a result, I was picking it off my plate at 2:30 am. This did not happen at Morelos, but maybe I became classy in just a few nights (eh, probably not).

Overall, Tacos Morelos was good, but not a reason to go to Williamsburg if you are craving tacos. And even if I was in Williamsburg, I remember from a few years back some cheap Mexican restaurants that may be worth a visit instead. I will argue though that if you have a few beers and stop by Morelos, it’ll definitely curb your hunger.
