Great for vegetarians

by kinopravda

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

by connerb

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.

• Pros: food

Slowest service ever, the worst instant coffee, tolerable food

by boolovesrayray

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.

• Pros: Your typical Williamsburg ambience - hip and ironic
• Cons: Slowest service, tasteless food, terrible coffee
