Great little Mexican restaurant on Essex Street. Wide variety on their menu, prices are reasonable, and staff is friendly. Quick service too. I got the chicken nachos with a side of rice and beans. The nachos is big enough on its own that I didn’t need the rice and beans but I ordered it just because I wanted to. It was all good, great taste. Typical American style Mexican food. There’s seating if you want to eat there but it’s not a lot, so if they’re busy you might have to take it to go. I got mine to go even tho there was plenty of room for me to sit. I can see myself eating there again.

Really good horchata nice and creamy. Fish taco was really good and the burrito was pretty good but something in it was a little off I think it was the lettuce but the sauce and rest of it was enjoyable

My son treated me to lunch, and he likes the bowl from this location. We order to take out. They have a small space. The food is good and the place was clean.

I would definitely come back here and I do recommend! I was in the neighborhood, looked up taco spots and saw good reviews on this place. It did not disappoint. I demolished my tacos. I barely got a good picture of my food. Tasty, spicy, and delicious. All of the stars!

Hole in the wall delicious Taqueria spot. I’ve been coming here for years. My go-to are their Tacos and taqueria bowls. I usually order the shrimp or fish bowl. So tender and seasoned perfectly. The prices are a bit high for a fast food type spot, but that’s the area for you.

Solid mexican food! Especially the Hawaiian empanada and chicken burrito bowl(p.s. burrito bowl is worth it and the deliciousness )

On the night of May 4th, at around 12:42 AM, I purchased food from the Tacos Morelos food truck owned by Essex Taqueria.
I paid and waited for over 30 minutes, but never received my food.
I was alone the entire time, just getting home from a birthday party in Bushwick.
First of all, I would like to clarify: I called Essex Taqueria three times and confirmed that the Tacos Morelos food truck in my photo — parked near Essex St and Canal St by Seward Park (Dimes Square area) — is operated under their business.
(This is also the business name that appeared on my Apple Pay transaction.)
And this is what happened to me — an absolute nightmare.
The vendor only spoke Spanish. I had to ask two nearby people to help me communicate.
Through them, I learned that the vendor claimed I had already taken my food and was with two other people — which was completely untrue. I was by myself.
He refused to listen, refused to communicate, and even threatened to call the police.
I never received my food, and no one from Essex Taqueria has followed up with me since.
I feel scammed and humiliated.
This is unacceptable behavior — especially from a business serving the public on a busy NYC street corner.
What’s even worse is that it made me feel unsafe in the neighborhood I live in.
It was deeply humiliating.

Made an uber eats ordered that was never delivered, called to see what was going on they lied and said that no drivers were being sent their way. I asked up j could pick it up, was told to take it up with uber eats. Tried settling it with them. Wasn’t satisfied with the level of service I received, nothing was explained well from my understanding.

I ordered 1 chicken taco & ate inside to see what rate I would give overall … honestly one taco is 6 dollars plus change & they didn’t season the meat & no salsa provided to add flavor….it was quick & wasn’t nasty! But never again tho. Respectfully.
