Cortelyou Road Taco Truck Has Possibly Been Recovered

The Tacos Mexico cart, the Cortelyou Road afternoon and evening staple that was stolen from its parking spot last month, may have been found!

Rogelio Gonzalez was out filing paperwork with the city one morning when he spotted what he was sure was his cart, though it has been redone to be a halal food cart.

“He asked them where they got it,” Gonzalez’s son Geovany, who also owns the cart along with brother Jose, told us. “They said they bought it from a friend, and asked him if he wanted to buy it, before they got more aggressive and suspicious.”

Despite reluctance from the NYPD, they eventually managed to get the cart into police custody, where it will remain until the true owner can prove it’s their cart. Geovany said that’s all they’re thinking about right now, and that until that happens, any plans for getting the cart back on Cortelyou will have to wait.

“Step one is to get it back,” he said. “Then we will go from there.”
