"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
"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
"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
"Hours: 2 a.m. daily There are several locations of Tacos El Bronco in South Brooklyn, including a sit-down restaurant. But this truck that stays open after-hours is the perfect move when you have a hankering after finishing up at Melody Lanes bowling alley around the corner." - Emma Orlow
"This comfortable Sunset Park restaurant launched a famous taco truck that parks at 37th and Fifth 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
