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.

Fresh Balls and a Free Soda? I’m there.

Last week, I was in a quick rush for lunch and decided to check out a new street cart across the street from my office. I was in the mood for falafel and luckily, the guy on the street had a great neon green poster advertising my dish for $3.75. I was sold.
