Williamsburg’s lot sizzled last night with Brooklyn’s Taco Truck Rally, spicing NYC’s spring. Chef Jay Patel grilled asada as 1,000 chowed, a $6 taco fest on Kent. It’s borough bites—pure BK vibe, grills hot. A kid nabbed a shrimp; a pro slurped salsa. ‘Brooklyn tacos—this is it,’ Patel says, flipping shells. The asphalt turned taqueria.
The rally’s fresh—March 30’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by noon. Patel’s a Bushwick cook; last night’s crowd hit max—lime flew. A line snaked for carnitas; cash buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—tacos ruled. #BKTacoRally trended; Queens wants a bite.
Some griped—’Too spicy,’ sniped a mild fan, dodging heat. Trash piled—cans rolled; swept slow. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint fry, splitting trucks. Still, 2,000 stayed—flavors reigned. Williamsburg’s never grilled so bold.
Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s taste—this tops it,’ he says, wiping griddles. The rally’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets grub. It’s a taco rush; catch the next. Bring a napkin—salsa drips.
