Tacos El Bronco is your go-to Sunset Park spot for incredible, authentic Mexican tacos, including must-try campechanos and al pastor, all served with a side of vibrant atmosphere.
"Tacos El Bronco operates two trucks and a brick-and-mortar location in Sunset Park with a long dining room with a mural of (you guessed it) broncos. At each location, the menu has almost as many potential moves as a game of chess, but if you do this cash-only spot the right way, you don’t even need a menu. Stick to tacos—specifically the smaller ones, which are all around $3, and involve double tortillas with your choice of meat. The al pastor and campechanos are must-orders, and you also can’t go wrong with the chiles rellenos." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Tacos El Bronco should be THE reason you visit Sunset Park (if you needed only one). It's a simple, homestyle Mexican restaurant with a handful of food trucks dispersed throughout town. The restaurant offers an array of Mexican style cuisine, while the trucks specialize in tacos and birria (beef soup). These will most likely be the cheapest and most tasty, authentic tacos you will eat in New York. The trucks are open late nearest the main subway stations. Cash only!" - Amanda DeRosa & Alexandra Marino
"Associated with a fleet of famous taco trucks, one of which parks just south of the Green-Wood Cemetery, this handsome Mexican cafe specializes in Pueblan food. Some of the best dishes include the tripe cemita (a round sandwich with cheese and avocado), scrambled eggs with prickly-pear cactus, chicken huaraches, and white pozole served with two tostadas." - Robert Sietsema, Erika Adams
"You just ran 13.1 miles. There are a lot of ways to celebrate, but probably none better than stuffing your face with some of NYC’s finest and most authentic tacos. After you cross the finish line, your next priority should be getting to Tacos El Bronco, a favorite of Airbnb’s Greenwood Heights hosts, and just a few stops on the N train north from Coney Island. The space is about as simple as it gets, but you won’t need more than a few (or ten) tacos and beers to feel right at home. N Train - Opens at 10am" - katherine lewin
"This comfortable Sunset Park restaurant launched a famous taco truck that parks at 37th and 5th avenues, but visit the mothership for a longer menu with more tacos. Miniature tacos pequeños are the specialty, easier to maneuver but not lacking in fillings. El Bronco’s tripe (small intestine rather than honeycomb stomach) is legendary, but be sure to try the campechanos, a mixture of steak and chorizo. A charred and sweet-tasting green onion comes as a bonus." - Robert Sietsema
