"By now everyone knows to get the tiny tripe tacos at this amazing taco truck that parks opposite the Jackie Gleason Bus Depot, a stone’s throw from the Green-Wood Cemetery in Sunset Park. Note that the tripe here is not of the honeycomb variety, but is instead made from veal intestines. Both substances are equally good in a taco. Otherwise, steer in the direction of goat, calf tongue, veal head, or pork skin." - Robert Sietsema
"Tacos El Bronco has a brick and mortar location on 4th Ave in Sunset Park, and a truck not far away on 5th Ave. We recommend going to the truck, which always has a fun crowd outside, and is also the location where they serve their very popular birria tacos. The al pastor is a must-order, but the best option is the campechanos, which includes salty beef, pork sausage, and crispy pork skin." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore, will hartman
"This legendary taco truck first pulled up across the street from Sunset Park’s Jackie Gleason Bus Depot in 2007. Owned by Mariano Tapia, it spawned a fleet of taco trucks and a full-blown restaurant just down the hill on Fourth Avenue. In addition to low-cost tacos served into the wee hours, it also makes a mean birria, chunky with beef and offered in a paper cup. Recently, the fabled truck started making birria tacos, too." - Robert Sietsema
"The Tacos El Bronco truck on 5th Avenue in Sunset Park churns out tacos that easily compete with the best in the city. The tortillas themselves are tiny, which creates the perfect ratio of filling to tortilla. Order the rich, veal cabeza and a few carnitas tacos, and make sure to cover them all in green tomatillo salsa. One more important thing: stand up while you eat your tacos - tacos from a truck scientifically taste better that way." - hannah albertine
"Small groups of customers collected around Sunset Park’s Tacos El Bronco food truck on Fifth Avenue, with orders taking far longer than usual." - Gary He
