“The chocolate tamales were awesome!”
“It can also get quite expensive if you order a couple of drinks and food.”
“the food is also average but at least i know the effort is there to make it from good quality ingredients.”
“Love the veggie options, and service has sincerely improved in the past year (nothing to complain about in the past 6 months, and my boyfriend and I go there at least 2x a month).”
“this is the best new restaurant ever!”
“love Mexican food and live nearby, but I'll never go back here again.”
“Very friendly owners and hit the spot mexican food at a reasonable cost.”
“They should probably graduate the cost of different tacos (vegetarian, beef, and fish tacos are all the same price), as some clearly have more expensive ingredients than another.”
“Finally, the service is slow, as is the kitchen, and drinks are mediocre.”View Less
Citysearch Editorial Review. Texas-style Mexican joint has a lively feel, with blond wood, turquoise walls in a large, lofty dining room that's often full with a neighborhood crowd. The restaurant uses organic, authentic ingredients in tacos pimped out with slow-braised pork, snappy shrimp with marinated cabbage, and cool, marinated baby cactus. Tacos aside, the queso fundido--melted cheese that's piqued with bacon, smoked chiles and onions--is a sumptuous alternative to nachos, while the pozole verde soup is only for hominy fans, but the salads are rich enough for meaty appetites, too.…
Great for vegetarians. Solid mexican; margaritas can be a bit too sweet at times, but not bad. Love the veggie options, and service has sincerely improved in the past year (nothing to complain about in the past 6 months, and my boyfriend and I go there at least 2x a month). Definitely better than any other mexican I've had in Williamsburg, especially a certain place on Bedford Avenue that A) deleted my negative review and B) was shut down last year and should have stayed closed. Anyway, that's neither here nor there - Vamanos to Chula!…
Good. I like this place. The food is good and the owners are nice. It's in a good neighborhood and the cuisine is very good. I used to live in Cali and the Mexican food is just about as good as you're going to get in Williamsburg.…
Slowest service ever, the worst instant coffee, tolerable food. The service at Taco Chulo is so unbelievably slow that you can actually age while waiting. Four of us had to wait nearly 45 minutes for our food to come out and they didn't even come out all together. I ordered veggie Taco and it had practically no taste. Is it possible to have Mexican food to be so blend? How do you go wrong with Taco?? I ordered lime pie and coffee. Instant coffee came out first that tasted like brown water. I passed around but no one could drink. It was just offensively bad. How do you go wrong with coffee? And why instant coffee? After waiting for lime pie, I finally gave up and asked for a check. I've been to many restaurants that are a lot busier than Taco Chulo. This is the slowest restaurant I've ever been to. I will never go there again.…
BEST MEXICAN IN NYC. um san loco isnt mexican food. fresh taco isnt mexican food. being from chicago, a city with one of the highest mexican population in all of the USA, in don't care if you think california has the best mexican chicago does. and i havent seen anything close to it in at least 5 years until i found taco chulo. they make every single thing from scratch, down to the pepper in the shaker is fresh ground in the kitchen. the service is highly improved so disregard past reviews. eat here, and drink here. its casual, its fun, and the owners are some of the smartest nicest women i've ever met. i go to taco chulo a lot. the nachos are no joke.…
