    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.

    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.

    Now I definitely want to come back

    ¡Taco Crawl! continued at Tulcingo Deli. Although the name gives the impression of a bodega, it's a full-service, casual restaurant, although there is an area by the cashier that offers snacks. We only tried the tacos, so can't speak to the other food. I suggest passing on the complimentary chips and salsa they serve. Although our chips came in a sealed paper bag, they turned out to be stale. The salsa is so sweet and pulverized that they might as well have just put out a bottle of ketchup alongside the chips. From reading the other reviews I'm sure the chips were an accident, but the salsa... they might want to rethink it. We ordered a variety of tacos, some of which were interesting. The tacos come with a guacamole sauce, but fortunately they use the right amount, so it doesn't end up overpowering the rest of the flavors, as it does at Coatzingo in Queens. The lengua and chorizo were perfectly fine - the chorizo was a big step up compared to the one we had at Xochimilco - but Tulcingo also offers specialties such as oreja, arabes and placero. The oreja - pig ear - wasn't all that good; it was far too tendon-y and chewy to enjoy - I had to force myself to swallow - but, since this was the first time I had an oreja taco, I'm willing to give Tulcingo the benefit of the doubt that it's the nature of the dish, not that Tulcingo prepared it poorly (if any Yelpers think otherwise, I'm down if you can tell me where to get a good oreja taco). The arabes was really good; it's chipotle-flavored lamb - smoky and spicy, a flavor combination that you're not going to find in any other taco - served with standard taco fixin's - onion, cilantro - in a rolled flour tortilla that's bigger than your average taco. I wonder if there's a future for innovating with new taco flavors. Curry taco? I'd try it. The other unique taco we had - and I'm surprised that no one on Yelp has called it out yet - was the placero, which is your choice of meat with cooked onions, - large, half-ring-sliced onions, not the standard finely chopped ones you might expect - rice and french fries. When our waitress explained this most of my group - myself included - looked askance, but to his credit my friend Mike T. was all over it. That was a good call, because it's a really tasty taco. Meat + starch = awesome, so why not put it in a taco? It's kind of like adding fries to a gyro or falafel, except a tortilla's much thinner than a pita (that's a good thing). According to our waitress it's really popular. Tulcingo has its ups and downs, but most of the food is alright and maybe with some more hard-hitting Yelping we can figure out exactly what to order to bring out its best dishes. In my opinion this is the best taco joint in Brooklyn (our crawl skipped Matamoros - I know, I know).

    Torta de jamon.. o de lechuga??

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