I have come to love this spot more each time I come back to visit. They can cater to my vegan and gluten free friends, they always have tasty Frescas on tap, the complimentary chips and salsa when ordering in to stay make it feel like we're not living under heavy capitalist rule, and the ladies who take orders at the counter have always been so sweet every time I've been in. In the winter they had an outside heated tent for tables and in the summer it's open air and breezy. It's a tiny spot but they care about their food, drinks, and your comfort. Don't hesitate to stop in when you're in the neighborhood! read more

I ordered the porkchops however they were very thin and hard as a rock. I asked for tender not cardboard. Not worth my money, cant even finish it. However, the beans and rice was delicious. read more

Great taco gem in the area! Been ordering from this taco spot a several occasions and always happy with my decision. Food is prepared nicely, fast turnaround on your order and tastes fresh. You can order full plates, salads, wraps and such but I mostly have picked up their authentic Mexican tacos and also enjoyed their amazing packed filled tortas. The service at the counter is always friendly and always greeted with a smile. The restaurant is small, with just a few tables inside, and a small enclosure outside, however looks very inviting and looks clean. I definitely recommend this spot especially if you wanna get your taco chow on! read more

Our normal order is a shrimp quesadilla and carne burrito. Lots of food, I sometimes split it and eat some for lunch (my bf wouldn't agree though FYI) best Mexican food uptown read more

I really wanted to like this place as I've passed it countless times and the pictures on Yelp looked nice. Unfortunately, I either ordered all of the wrong things or this was their biggest off day. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla, regular nachos, pineapple Jarrito and a flan. Shrimp quesadilla: had more than just cheese and shrimp. I think it was the combination of the queso fresco, lettuce and pico that didn't mix so well and ended up tasting bad. I loved the corn tortilla, but ended up just taking out the shrimp and throwing out the rest. Nachos: were overbaked and mostly stuck to the container. Good ingredients but hard to enjoy eating. Flan: I don't think it was made using actual milk and it was nothing close to creamy. Tasted more watery, which would probably be great of you're lactose intolerant. The Jarrito soda was fine. Overall, I wasted $26 and didn't have much to show for it. Service was friendly, and the place was clean so no complaints there. read more

Coming from LA, finding tacos in NYC is always a challenge, but what a fantastic find Tulcimexico is! This proper Mexican, with lots of care, and awesome taste. We stopped in, and while the interior is small, the place is clean and nice to sit. The staff are friendly, and the kitchen is well appointed. Ordered birria, and everything about the preparation was exactly as expected... robust consomme, dunked and pan fried tortillas, slow cooked falling apart meat, fresh lime... all of it, just as if I was on the other coast. Highly recommended when you are around 145th! read more

We order here all the time and I'm finally making a review but I need to start taking a pic of my food before we dive into it lol! Always always on the list is their hand made quesadillas. They are fresh and delicious. Chicken is my fav and my husband loves the steak. My kids always get the chicken fajitas and it comes with a lot of food. Happy to have found this place read more

Food & Drink - Huevos Rancheros: (7/10) This was super yummy, especially for breakfast/brunch. The egg yolk wasn't runny, but we honestly didn't mind much because it was still delicious. The avocado added a really nice, creamy texture. Also, the salsa verde was perfect and not too sour like some other restaurants! The rice and beans that this dish came with were amazing! No, like...AMAAAZING! The best rice and beans we've had uptown by far. - Queso Flautas: (10/10) First off, these flautas are troopers! They were crispy and somehow fresh, despite our 30 minute walk through the snow with them. When you bite into these, you get a mouthful of juicy, warm cheese, and the crispy, salty shell. They are truly mouth-watering. The guacamole that was served with these was delicious, too! We highly recommend this dish. - Chalupas: (8/10) These were very tasty chalupas. The flavorful, tender chorizo in the crispy shell paired really well with the queso fresco and red salsa. Topped off with some pico de gallo and a little sour cream - it was the perfect spicy taco bite. - Steak Chilaquiles: (4/10) The low score for this dish could just be because we weren't able to eat this fresh, but the skirt steak on top was so hard that it was inedible. The tortillas had fused into a single mass with the salsa and cheese, even after reheating. There was minimal flavor, which resulted in an overpowering soggy corn tortilla essence to the whole thing. We recommend eating this fresh or maybe skipping it altogether. - Horchata: (6/10) This horchata was just okay. It tasted a bit watered down and didn't have a very prominent cinnamon flavor to it, but it was still refreshing and mildly sweet. Service: (9/10) The young gentleman at the counter was extremely patient as we contemplated what to get, since everything sounded so appetizing. He even answered all our questions regarding ingredients and gave us his recommendations. Atmosphere: (NA/10) We ordered takeout since indoor dining was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we were not able to have the full experience of dining here. However, the inside is pretty small and looks like it's mostly meant for takeout. read more

Delicious! I am very particular about my Mexican food after living in Texas for a few years and this place is legit! The girl working the register was a delight! Had some nachos, tacos as well as rice and beans. Can't wait to come back and try more things! The quesadillas others got looked quite tasty too read more

Cute new Mexican takeout joint, yea! There are some bar stool window seats, but space is tight so better to-go if you can. Tried the veggie burrito, which is mostly rice, beans and powdered cheese, but good and filling. Red and green sauces have a good kick! Also grabbed a tasty carrot cake slice via Brooklyn Cheesecake. Looking forward to trying more of the (veggie parts of the) menu! read more

Happy to see a new different authentic restuarant opening in this area where most choices are low budget Chinese takeout or fried chicken and burgers. I had the carnitas torta and it was delicious, fresh and served with a smile. Things seem very professional and organized so far and I can't wait to try several of their many other offerings. Good luck to this new business! Keep up the good works! read more

I recently moved to the area and was craving Mexican food and this place definitely delivered (I also got delivery too lol). I got a shrimp taco and a chorizo quesadilla and it was soo good. I get the Flan in a cup every time as well and have yet to be disappointed. Definitely one of the best! read more

Food is inedible. Arrived cold and hard. Ordered the huevos rancheros - arrived cold and egg Whites were not fully cooked. Tasted like crap. Also ordered the taco al pastor. Came cold as a rock. Inedible. Everything went straight to the trash. Worst part is, the girl who works there doesn't want to process the refund through Grubhub because she doesn't believe me. What a mess. read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The tostadas are fire! Wish they were open later but love everything about this place

The food is great and affordable. They are also very accommodating. My daughter is a picky eater and always has a lot of request. The only thing I would like to see happen is an option to pay by card over the phone. Other than that, it's a great place. read more

Carnitas cemita was fantastic! Get some red sauce on the side and your good! They are friendly here and prepare food quickly. They also have a pretty good drink selection too. read more

Love this place! Some of our favorites: carnitas burrito, steak tacos (American style) flautas, tostadas, eggs with no nopales (cactus), the French fries are so good and the green salsa is the best. The service is always great and quick. read more

Amazingly good Mexican food. Made by South American staff, not Chinese pretending to know Mexican food. Our go to item Al pastors burrito. Complex taste of spicy pork with pineapple. Tacos come three ways, Mexican style or American or mixed. Mexican is the best most authentic! Great friendly service read more

Always great food and service. I tend to order online and pick up, and the food is ALWAYS ready when I get there - it's only a 10 min walk! Highly recommend. read more

The burrito was amazing, I'm a huge fan. I wish the veggie tacos came with rice and beans as they were empty, but I totally understand. They would've probably been terrific if they contained meat but my family and I don't consume any. The food came well packaged and with everything I asked for in a really timely manner. Very pleased and will be more specific with my next order. read more

So glad this place opened up in the neighborhood and that they have been able to remain open during COVID. Highly recommend the tacos, enchiladas, burritos and the milanesa de res torta! Go for the aguas frescas! read more

NOTHING: Like walking 25 minutes to this place, and being ignored for 7 minutes by the girl to be told they are not taking orders, because the grill is not working. Let's say this was my first, and DEFINITELY my last time going to this place. NOT WORTH IT! Plus they are more expensive than the ones in classier neighborhoods. read more

My son wanted tacos and I did not want to cook. I settled on some burger and fries and ordered three tacos for the boys. The older one usually does not eat tomatoes and the taco was packed with them. He started to wipe them off the taco soon as I handed it to him. But to my surprise he completely ate the taco tomatoes included and asked for another. The burger was ok. Lil dry and I asked for raw onions and they cooked mine which I hate. The fries were crinkle cut and not bad. Overall a good experience. read more

So I went here to try tacos. When I say the chicken and carnitas were the driest tacos I have ever had in my life. No exaggeration I couldn't swallow the food and it may or may not have been a good day who knows. Round face older cashier has no customer service etiquette. Had to rate 1 star to post. read more

Pollo a la Mexicano is delicious. Team is friendly and they cook your food quickly and it all appears clean and organized.

This place is sooooo amazing!!!!!! I've always wanted a nearby real Mexican spot to go to, and a i feel like I lucked out cause this place is now my fave Mexican Restaurant. I just tried their shrimp burrito for the first time (I usually get chicken) and it was the BEST shrimp burrito I've ever had. The woman at the counter is very friendly and she helped me choose my option (credits to her for suggesting the shrimp). I'm so happy this place opened. read more

This place is so good it's a problem. I've had a bunch of stuff from all over the menu and it's all been unfairly delicious(if I had a gun to my head o guess I'd say the chilaquiles are my favorite). So glad to have this place in the neighborhood! read more

Consistently delicious with reliable service and very reasonable prices. Tulcimexico has been my go-to for over a year now-- the burritos are delicious, and I'm a big fan of the huevos a la Mexicana. Highly recommended. read more

Remembering to give this place a high five since I've been salivating over their mole for over a week now and am about to order it again. The food is sooo good. I ordered their mole enchiladas - super fresh and hands down the best mole I've ever had. I am so happy this spot opened up in the neighborhood! Only gripe would be that there is no room to sit down with a margarita and stay for awhile :) read more

A relatively new restaurant in our neighborhood, we have been ordering food once a week. The Mexican tacos are delicious! The guacamole is superb! I have also tried the burrito with carnitas and loved it. The quesadilla was just as tasty and either one is very filling for dinner!!! The prices are generally good except for guac and chips which are a little pricey at $13 but the guac and chips are both homemade and are yummy yummy yummy! We are very glad they opened up so close to our home! read more
