Description

Tacos Morelos in Jackson Heights is one of the city's best southern Mexican taquerias, somewhat unique in that it offers a full bar—meaning in this case you can choose from a broad selection of tequilas neat or in mixed drinks. There are a number of rare moles, including a red pipian (pumpkinseed sauce), and a series of so-called tacos placeros ("market tacos"), one of which includes rice, cheese-stuffed chile relleno, and roasted pepper strips within its corn-tortilla wrapper. Another beverage recommendation is michelada: a beer of your choice doctored with lime juice and chili sauce. The owners hail from Morelos, just south of Mexico City.

  • 2012 | Best Mexican

    In our era, authentic southern Mexican taquerias have gone from being short counters in the rear of bodegas to being full-blown restaurants. A few even have liquor licenses, like Tacos Morelos, which morphed from a small cart beneath the 7 tracks into a brick-and-mortar establishment. It was also the place that first introduced New Yorkers to tacos placeros, the humble tacos consumed by market shoppers, incorporating more vegetarian ingredients than meats. So seek out this place; get a shot... More »

  • 2011 | Best Taco

    The quality of the food at Tacos Morelos is pristine and delicious, partly due to the Atlixco Deli next door and its profusion of fresh indigenous ingredients. The Pueblan sandwiches known as cemitas make great bar snacks, but the high point of the menu is the tacos placeros ("market tacos"), utilizing hand-patted tortillas and such striking ingredients as yellow rice, potatoes, chiles rellenos, and hard-boiled eggs, proving that a taco can contain things besides big wads of meat and...
