Profile

A Hell's Kitchen Mexican deli made good, Tulcingo annexed the store next door for a full-fledged sit-down restaurant—tablecloths, white Zinfandel, and all. The setting is nice and the service nicer, but you're here for the food, which is fresh, well seasoned, and extremely filling. Skip the antojitos and soups (except maybe for the soothing posole) if you want do full justice to a plato, which you will. Especially if it's the pipian de pollo, a couple of long-cooked chicken parts in a verdant sea of creamy pumpkinseed sauce that is so ample it will employ every single steamed tortilla in the basket. Of the three abnormally fresh, flavorful house salsas, green is best. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Me and my friends always order from Tulcingo as a pre-game tradition. We always try to find a new restaurant to order from but inevitably said restaurant has to compete against Tulcingo and we always decide to go with Tulcingo in the end. The food here is phenomenal. Prob the best Mexican I have had in Manhattan.

This is the real thing. A couple of friends had the Pork ribs in red sauce with cactus, Pollo a la Mexicana, and Grilled beef with cactus and sauteed onions.....also a good Pipian sauce not too spicy and very tasteful. The service is good. Very good Al pastor tacos with pineapple. These are real mexican tacos none of that tex-mex stuff. Burritos are really filling and their flan is terriific. Don't forget to try the Mole al Estilo Tulcingo and the home made Sangria....FABULOUS.
