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.

I didn't order the recommended specials, just some chicken flautas and chicken fajitas. I think of these items are pretty basic. However, the flautas were frozen. my dinner partner's tortillas were hard, like they had been frozen and stuck in the microwave to be reheated. Mexican food, when fresh, is delicious- cilantro, pico de gallo, refried beans, fresh rice, and guacamole - the accompaniments really improve the quality of the meal. This food was anything but fresh, and contained little of the above listed garnishments, making the meal seem even more stale. The only things I would ever go back for might be a horchata (a sweet coconut drink) or perhaps a trip while looking at the paintings on the wall, disembodied female corpses. Some students were there, so I suppose it is good if you're looking for cheap food. I would rather eat almond butter on bread for dinner than go back.

You're not going here for the decor. From the outside, it looks like a deli. Once inside, there is some artwork on the walls and "Sabado Gigante" on the TV. (It is, however, spotlessly clean.) The reason you're coming here is for the enormous platters of cheap, authentic, beautifully prepared food. Tacos=$2 each, and two of them are more than enough for a meal. Gorgeous mole chicken w beans, rice, etc= around $10. The service is also quite pleasant.
