We used to hit up the…read moretaco truck across the street when we got hungry, but unfortunately it disappeared a few months back. We've been testing out food options in the surrounding area, and Nacho Macho has emerged as my favorite (for convenience, speed, flavor, and affordability). Now, the space isn't much to speak of. It's narrow, with only a couple places to sit. But the dudes who work there are efficient, nice, and can put together an order of food for 6+ dudes in about 15 minutes (double-check they gave you some salsa and utensils if you need them though). I've tried a couple of the options, but the al pastor burrito, with a few things added (guac, sour cream, jalapenos, etc.) is a gutbomb of deliciousness that I am never sad about eating. You do you, but I'm getting another one in a couple days.

Whenever I see these food trucks, the determinator for whether I try it or not is based SOLELY on…read morewhether or not they have beef tongue available lol. None of the Americanized Mexican Trucks and Restaurants have that specific cut of meat and frankly, it's my favorite by far so when I saw it on the menu in this truck as I was passing by, I had to give it a shot. It's honestly really easy to tell whether or not the tongue is done well because it's either tender and delicious with a slight bounce, or it's excessively chewy and bland, and I'm glad to say that this is the former. Everything else is just baseline good quality, from the wrap to the rice and beans and all the fixings inside as well. While definitely not the biggest burrito I've ever had, it's a pretty good size overall so I can't really complain.

But anyway, it's now Morelos (one of my favorite spots from Sunset Park). My friend and I were turned away from late night pizza, so this was our consolation prize. Scratch that, this should've been the first place prize. Like so many taco places in NYC, they've leaned into making birria tacos. We asked if they were any good, and they were wishy-washy about it, so we didn't order them. Got some al pastor and cochinita pibil tacos instead. While we were waiting for them, the guy we spoke to actually gave us a sample of the birria. I know it was the end of the night, but super nice of him! Also... he was right. Don't get them. The al pastor and cochinita pibil ones, however, were pretty solid. Never had cochinita pibil before, but it might be my new favorite. Will definitely be back on another one of my drunken escapade nights!

Some have food (like Alchemy), some don't (like Uncle Barry's). If you're at one of the latter, the best thing you can do for yourself is to stumble out and get something to eat at the Los Carnales taco truck parked here every day, and late into the night. In my experience, it's staffed by a lovely lady who doesn't speak much English (one time I was with a buddy who is fluent in Spanish, and she asked him to hop on her phone and give someone directions to the truck in English). However, she doesn't need to speak much English to understand my poorly accented, "Carne asada quesadilla, por favor." Or, "carnitas burrito por favor." Or, "tacos de pastor, por favor." I always add the "por favor" because my mother raised me right, unlike you heathens. They also have huaraches and cemitas and tortas and tostadas and camarones and pescado and cochinita pibil and birria, but I haven't tried much beyond what I already mentioned. What I have tried has been fresh and delicious, served in generous portions that soak up all the alcohol I've consumed, and the nice lady always give me a big smile when I give her a good tip. A win all around.

I also got the grilled shrimp and coconut shrimp tacos, which both were absolutely mind blowing! The flavors of the coconut shrimp coupled with mangos were just out of this world! That with grilled shrimp that came with pickled onions and guac was just such a great combo order! Highest of the keys recommend checking out this place if you're in the neighborhood!

Since I ordered delivery, I can't speak to the customer service or the atmosphere in the restaurant, but based on the food alone, I'd definitely order from here again.

I am thrilled to know I now have a convenient and affordable option. I went with the classic Chicken over Rice with white and green sauce.

Plus, who doesn't love a little extra fries on top?! A well-packed platter for a total of $10.89. Can't wait to try the chicken/lamb combo next!

It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup.
