The Taco Truck Closes In Morristown
Want one last Taco Truck fix? Their Hoboken location is open through the weekend.
MORRISTOWN, NJ — After decades in business, The Taco Truck is closed for good. The Morristown, Princeton, and King of Prussia locations all shuttered on Monday, with the Hoboken location set to close it's doors for the last time on Sunday, May 7.
“It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that the Taco Truck will be closing its doors,” a Facebook post announcing the closure says. “For the last decade, it has been our pleasure to serve you and be an integral part of your community -- not just as your taco crew, but as your friends and neighbors. For that we will always be grateful.”
The first truck launched in New Jersey in 2009, according to The Taco Truck’s website. Since then, it has opened stores, carts, kiosks and trucks in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. Its recipe for success was built on what the founders called their “special sauce” — authenticity, hospitality, sustainability, and community.
