Police officers in SWAT gear descended on Tacos Morelos this morning, but it’s unclear what caused the taqueria takeover.
An employee at the Ninth Street Mexican joint said that police trucks rolled up to the tiny takeout spot around 8 a.m., before it opened. Officers forced its padlock and looked for someone who might’ve been hiding out there, but didn’t make an arrest.
A police spokesperson had no information about the incident.
This much is certain: Tacos Morelos is guilty of first-degree deliciousness. Its cart on East 4th Street and Avenue A, you may recall, is the place Aziz settles on in Master of None after he spends 45 minutes googling for NYC’s best tacos.
