Cute place. Not crowded on a Sunday. Two TVs. One had the news the other a soap opera. Menu is bigger than a typical Mexican restaurant. More options than usual - which. is good. Portions are large. Wish I got mine to share because even after a tough hike I couldn't finish it. Service isn't fast. An ok stop if you are hungry and in the area. read more

This has become an addiction of ours. We come here quite regularly and don't mind the 40 minute drive to get here for the best tacos you'll ever have! We haven't strayed past our favs so forgive me for not trying out everything on the menu, but the tacos are where it's at. I may have to update when I venture into the menu more :) They are good in house or to go and we order extra green sauce that is simply the beat version we've every tried. Sometimes we get this by the 1/2 pint to take home. Language is a slight barrier but do not worry, parking is good, and we go around lunch time and seating is quick. Our recommendations: To drink: sangrias Appetizers: nachos con queso Main: tacos de bistec, tripe, chorizo, and carnitas Very pleasant, fast service, and alway pleases! read more

While visiting friends in nearby Highland Mills, our party of seven stopped in for dinner around 9:00 pm on a Friday night. Although the joint was hopping, we were seated immediately. Service was fine, a little on the slow side to start, but once drinks were served the timing improved. If you like grapefruit, I recommend their Paloma margarita, from the top shelf list. It was tasty and delicious and the best thing I had at Tulcingo. The chips and salsa were just okay. The chips were slightly stale and under seasoned, i.e. lacking salt, but appeared to be made in house. The salsa had a nice flavor and tasted of fresh ingredients, but lacked any noticeable spice. The entree portions were very large. My avocado salad took up an entire dinner plate, mostly filled with lettuce. The salad tasted bland and lacked flavor. I didn't even get a hint of lemon or lime on the avocado slices. My friend, who dines here regularly, said it wasn't as good as normal, and we thought perhaps they had forgotten to dress the salad, so we asked for some on the side. Our server said the salad was dressed, and told us to look at the bottom of our plates, which we did, only to find a watery, light orange-looking substance. Then she returned with some extra dressing, which was a bright orange color and thicker than what was on the plate. It had a good, sharp flavor and added a much needed kick to the salad. read more

Wow! What have I been missing, Tulcingo definitely prepared perfect Mexican food, very fresh vegetables tasty well cooked and spiced pork, chicken, beef & fish. Could not ask for better or faster service from the two very attentive ladies serving and bussing tables there. Have a full compliment of imported sodas, Mexican beer (about 5 varieties,) Latino and American tasty mixed drinks as well. Portions were overflowing my two plates and both were authentic Mexican tastes. read more

Popped in here for dinner. Started with sangria and chips and guac. The guac was delicious, as was the sangria. Asked for my dish with the sauce on the side at the risk it was too spicy. It came out with the sauce which I tried to eat but as assumed, my mouth was on fire. The waitress so kindly sent it back and had a new dish made for me. It was quite tasty but the spice had already ruined my appetite. Ate it for dinner the next night and it was just as delicious. read more

Place is clean. quaint, simple. Service was very quick and friendly. And the food was excellent! Very tasty and to me, best of all, not super expensive.

Blandest Mexican food I've ever eaten. Boiled chicken with no seasonings (not even salt and pepper) inside a tortilla topped with sour cream and lettuce. No spices, no sauces? I could have easily made that at home. Oh, and I was so sick the next day and night that I had to call out of work. I might not have minded the food poisoning as much if it had actual flavor to it. Service was pretty poor too. Took us forever to get our check when we were done, even though the waiter saw us at least 3 times sitting there with our utensils down and napkins on our plate. read more

After my go-to spot for chimichanga shut down, I was in need of a good restaurant to satisfy my craving. Someone recommended me Tulcingo and I'm glad that they did because their food is on point. I was a little hesitant about the chicken chimichanga, thinking that it'd be dry but no, they were perfect. Their tacos are good too but I'm not a fan of corn tortillas so, maybe I'll substitute it for flour next time. Overall, I highly recommend this place! read more

Walked in and no one greeted us. Place was somewhat busy w only two people working. One bartender and one waitress to take care of about 10 tables and bar full of people. We sat ourselves. Waitress comes over after about four minutes and brings menus. She said she'll bring chips and salsa and never returned. After at least about 15 minutes we just left. Heard they have good food which is why we decided to try. We will never go back. We always only go to LA Rancherita on 101 Carpenter Place Monroe. We went back to LA Rancherita and what a breath of fresh air. We walked in and saw our favorite waitress in the middle of her own lunch. She immediately left her table and greeted us and brought menus and water chips and salsa right away. Their food is always consistently awesome and fresh.

We tried all three pork (barbacoa, sweet and roasted), chicken and chorizo. The roasted pork was really dry but the rest were really good.

Looking for a highway pull off? We were and tried Super Nacho. We'll do it again with this review…read moreto remind us. It's a small take out place with no seating inside. If the weather is nice, they have several tables outside. Goshen is a quaint little town right off the highway. We stop here frequently on the way through and are eating our way around the town, many choices. On to the food, I had the vegetarian enchilada which had mushrooms, spinach, peppers cheese and onions with green tomatillo sauce, rice and beans. It was a bit too much onion for me. They might want to mix a bit of beans in there instead of so much onion. Still tasty. My friend ordered the fish tacos, which I sampled and were crispy on outside, tender inside. They need to use cabbage instead of lettuce to hit the taco home. Kid had a nicely priced cheese quesadilla and fries. They have their own Cherry soda! We shall return.

Good vibe and decor is on point, music was a little out of touch for a Mexican Restaurant but I'm not upset, it was good music! Now, i shouldn't have expected too much in terms of authenticity from a place called SuperNacho but nonetheless i was a little disappointed. For one, i ordered the chicken fajitas and each bite of chicken was VERY oily, perhaps the oiliest chicken fajitas ive ever had, the mxn rice was a little underwhelming and the refried beans tasted straight out the can. I also ordered nachos, and honestly everything felt the same. The cheese was 100% the same liquid cheese they get from a can and use on concession stand nachos, Rico's brand i believe, that taste is unique like no other. My mother ordered steak fajitas and they came out just as oily, i don't think I've ever seen that thick a coating of oil on chicken or steak before. Unfortunately the oil didn't taste like very high quality oil, possibly vegetable or canola oil, sits heavy in the stomach post consumption. To be completely honest the food is very underwhelming overall, especially for the price, our food came out to around 140 not including tip for 2 kids drinks, an agua fresca, nachos, enchiladas (these were fine but not note worthy tbh), chicken nachos (fine not noteworthy), kids taco, and 2 fajitas. To be completely 100% honest this is a great spot for people who have never had real authentic mexican food, or if you're starving. We dont plan on coming back

The staff are helpful but clearly tired from the popularity of this place which says it was established in 2016, but another reviewer said it was much older. Parking in the rear.

Our waitress, Angela, was awesome--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. We were quickly brought chips and salsa, and our drink order was taken. My wife ordered a margarita, and I went with a mango iced tea, which was really refreshing. We decided to skip appetizers this time and went straight to our entrées. My wife ordered the chicken Milanesa sandwich, which she absolutely loves--it's a staple for her whenever we come here. I ordered the combination platter with enchiladas suizas, a gringo taco, and a chicken quesadilla. Everything came out hot and tasted great, just like it always does. I also asked about one of the tequilas and ended up ordering a shot, which was a nice touch to the meal. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and excellent service, the whole experience was fantastic. Frontera continues to be a reliable favorite for us, and we'll definitely be back again--as usual.
