Tacos Morelos 8.1
Financial District-Battery Park City
The Wall Street outpost of Tacos Morelos brings a long-running New York taco-truck name downtown, serving tacos with fillings like pastor, tongue, and fish from a compact frontage on Wall. It’s a reliable move for a quick taco plate or a few handhelds when you want something more traditional than fast-casual chains.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy pork (pastor) tacos, Fish tacos, Beef tongue tacos
