Tacos Morelos — Restaurant in New York

was in a tacos mood and stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner with my brother. the menu had english translations and was quite expansive, we got the following to try:

-tacos (birria/shrimp/carne asada/carnitas): the birria was really dry and not very flavorful. had to douse it with the orange salsa to give it some flavor. i tried my brother's shrimp tacos and they were quite good. he had the other tacos and didn't have any complaints.

-al pastor tostadas: lots of meat and other toppings. it was flavorful and tasty, nice to get bites of sweet pineapple here and there.

-carne asada quesadilla: meaty and cheesy, but not super memorable.

-horchata: sooooo good and refreshing! pretty sweet to start but once the ice melts, it balances everything out.

we really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. the chips were fresh, hardy on the thicker side, and had a nice aroma of corn. the salsa was zippy and fresh. service was quite speedy even tho there's a slight language barrier. overall, a pretty good meal and i'd return!

ps. the music was pretty loud and it does take a bit of time getting used to it. would've been nice for sure if the volume was a...

I am I am deeply disappointed with the situation. Despite our commitment to performing our job diligently, it was brought to our attention that your fire extinguisher had expired. We recommended addressing this issue promptly and even offered a replacement from our available stock. However, you insisted on proceeding with the New York State Inspection without resolving the expired fire extinguisher concern.

This decision poses a significant risk not only to your business license but also to the safety of others. It is our responsibility to prioritize ethical practices, and by proceeding with the inspection without addressing the safety concern, it raises ethical questions. I sincerely hope that you reconsider your decision and take the necessary steps to rectify the expired fire extinguisher situation promptly. Doing so aligns with ethical standards and ensures the safety of all involved. Thank you for your...

The service and atmosphere is great. The complementary chips and salsa was amazing (crunchy and fresh). I ordered 3 tacos- chicken, fish and shrimp. As well as a coconut mojito (not sure why it’s brown but it was pretty tasty and of a decent strength).

I originally thought when my food arrived that they looked very authentic. The fish taco was so well seasoned that it didn’t look like fish nor taste haha I thought it was the chicken taco until I saw the texture after a few bites. The chicken and shrimp tacos were okay, a little more on the bland side of things. I’m not a fan of flour tortillas but overall the tacos were okay, the portion size per taco is great. Each taco was packed with protein. I’d return but I’d probably order something different or stick to the fish taco.

Service was excellent, I tipped generously. The waitresses make you feel at home.

Excellent value- it was...
