Tulcingo

Back in high school around 2012, I was coming here so often to order tacos for takeout. Eventually, I stopped because as a 15 year old, I only have so much money available to be buying tacos so often lol. Last week, I came back to my favorite neighborhood taco spot And nothing has changed. The quality and savoriness of the tacos is still the same. I ordered a chorizo, lengua and Cecina taco and they were all delicious.You can just tell that this is a neighborhood spot. Besides me, everyone was there with their family having a nice weekend dinner chatting it up and enjoying the vibes. If you live in Sunset Park and ur looking for a taco restaurant to try, I would totally recommend giving this spot a chance

This place is under looked ! Food is amazing, delicious! And fresh. The staff is nice and attentive. Q nice place for a family dinner/lunch. We had the burrito, guacamole and chips, carne azada all was very tasty and fresh. The drinks were also good. They had nice music playing and the tv with a soccer game on. The food is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to go back and try something different.

Tulcingo Deli is Sunset Park personified. Pretty sizable Mexican restaurant with tables big enough for groups of any size. You can also order to go from the counter in the back. Plus, when I was there on a Friday night, a man with a classical guitar serenaded everyone.I ordered three tacos - barbacoa (goat meat), al pastor, and the buche (pig stomach). All three were pretty good, but the standout was the barbacoa. Can never turn down goat.Silly me, I was in a rush and didn't know they included a small container of salsa verde in the bag and was so excited to eat, I almost finished my meal before realizing. But I had it with my last taco and it was nice and spicy (but not too much).If you're in the area, there are better taco places around, but Tulcingo is a good enough choice.

3 stars is pushing it. First, let me start with positive things about this place. We liked beans, and we loved salsa verde. Coffee was strong, super strong- so if that's your thing you found your place. They don't have cream, only milk (bring your own??...).Now, about parts we didn't like: Barbacoa taco, bad- flavorless, colorless meat- do not order. Shame for Mexican cuisine. My chilaquiles verdes were, ummm, too soggy, egg was so plain and yolk dry.... Husband's huevos rancheros where just blah. Egg on soggy tortilla topped with salsa verde... nothing special.... It's a neighborhood restaurant that in desperation will sustain craving for some Mexican food but it's nothing out of the ordinary. Have low expectations when you come here.

I love this place. I've only ever gotten tacos and tortas, but every time it's delicious Lengua tacos for life!

What do you tell someone that speaks Spanish? If you "Tellcinco" then you just asked them for 5 of something. If you "Tellchinga" then you will either get beaten up, or made love to. I'm not sure which of these concepts led to the naming of this deli, but it's open to interpretation.What to get: Tacos.What else: Tellchinga.The tacos here were pretty standard. I had asada and pastor. They were nicely flavoured and enjoyable, and in a city with limited fantastic taco options, they may even have scored a 5, but I'm going to stick with a 4 for these ones.The reason they only score a 4 is pretty simple. The service here is awful. The woman ringing up my partner in crime treated her like she absolutely hated her. There was snarkiness, resentment and pissiness. I'm not sure why. Partly because she wasn't sure what she wanted. But nobody else was ordering at the time, so I'm not sure what the big deal was.In any case, due to the average food and horrendous service, I probably won't come back for a second try. However my rating is based purely on the food and it's a solid 4.

I realize that I'm updating this review yet again, but as the Dude said, "new shit has come to light".And that is their tacos arabes. It's not a popular dish, or even one that's talked about a lot at Mexican restaurants, but I really don't know why. Imagine a taco, but in a tortilla that has a bit more volume than a normal corn or flour tortilla. Then it's filled with spit-cooked/marinated ground lamb and a red mole sauce, and rolled up. Holy cow is it amazing.Their potato taquitos are also remarkably good, though a note to vegetarian diners, they have little bits of meat in there (which you absolutely do want if you're not a vegetarian, as they give the dish a bit of spice).I also ordered dessert for the first time, and was of course pleased with the results. They bake the cakes they serve on location.This is hands down, my favorite Mexican restaurant in New York.

Big fan of this place. Chicken torta sandwich is the best in the area. Large menu, outdoor seating.

3rd on a taco tour of sunset park on cinco de mayo. Got an arabes taco @ $2.50 and an al pastor (roasted pork) @ $2.25. The arabes was really flavorful but didn't need so much adobo sauce. Some guac or pico would've been better. The al pastor was fork tender, came with guacamole, and had the most amount of meat for the price out of all the tacos we tried today. Unfortunately the meat's flavor was too subtle to warrant high marks. Wouldn't get it again. Also got a beer, which so happens to be the only item on the menu without a price....hmmmmm shady!!....and it turned out to be $5. So much for a cheap hole in the wall. I suspect that this was the gringo price. Beware fellow honkeys.Oh yeah, bathroom had no soap.....so how would the workers wash their hands after going......uh yeah.....gross.

Good food at a great price. Had a dinner for two that was very filling plus drinks, and left for less than $40 after the tip. Definitely a great option on a budget.
