Taqueria Tehuitzingo

I was craving some yummy guacamole and tacos. This place had such good reviews and it had really affordable prices. I was excited to go here for lunch with a friend. After trying the tacos, nachos, and guacamole, I can honestly say I will never come back here ever. The chips were stale. The guacamole was bland and the meat was extremely dry. Despite our buyer’s remorse, my friend and I tried to eat the food anyway. Halfway through eating the food, we stopped eating because we just lost our appetite. Overall, the food was presentable looking, but it severely lacked taste and quality. It wasn’t worth trying even for the prices.

Great for cheap yummy eats. Fast service and no frills but to get a good meal under a 10 bucks in the city, you can’t beat it.

Really tasty carnitas, with a little crust on the pork from the grill, just the way I like it. Plenty of meat in both the lengua and the carnitas.
Green salsa is tasty and mild as advertised. The red sauce is definitely spicier, but not in a burning off your eyebrows sort of way. It has a good chili flavor that’s not hidden by unnecessary heat.
One order of tacos is two tacos, no rice or beans. Two orders was probably one more taco than I needed. Next time I’ll get one order and an extra taco on the side. You pay slightly more for individual tacos, but nothing ridiculous.
The Pozole stew had plenty of meat and hominy in the soup itself. The provided a little container of cilantro, a lime wedge and some chili spice to add to the soup. The broth needed the spice. While the broth was fine in a chicken soup kind of way, it really didn’t have a strong flavor kick, so the chili powder was a necessary addition. I’d have liked some shredded lettuce too.
The quesadillas are huge.
The last time I was there it took them 20 minutes to fill my lunch order with only one other person in the place, because it turned out that they had a big phone order that they were working to fill. I was kind of pissed because the guy behind the counter told me that they’d have the order right up, and didn’t say squat to me while I was waiting at the counter all that time until I asked. I don’t mind waiting, but next time please tell me I’m going to wait.
If I weren’t in a hurry to get back and eat before a 1 PM meeting, I might have been a little more tolerant of the wait, because the food was good, so that’s why they’re still hanging on to that fourth star.

Great carnitas tacos. Only $ 6.50 for two tacos of your choice. Fast, fresh, and flavorful.

For the area, what a great surprise.
The inside is quite small, with seats for about a dozen or more.
I ordered a torta, which turned out to be one of the better tortas I’ve had. Breaded milanesa with a stringy cheese, pickled veg, a slighly crusty roll, and with a touch of hot sauce made the sandwich sublime.

Ok, so my husband and I decided to order takeout from here last night because we were in the mood for burritos and the chipotle nearby had pretty bad reviews on Unilocal.We had eaten there before with no issues but wanted to give this highly rated and «authentic» Mexican restaurant a try. What a mistake.
The ordering process was simple enough. We ordered nachos without meat, a spicy pork burrito and a chicken burrito. The food was ready when we got there. Service friendly. The food even tasted OK going down. Nothing special but not bad. A little greasy for me but not too bad. However as soon as I stopped eating my tummy began to rumble and bloat. My husband got nauseous and had diarrhea. Really. I should have just gone to Chipotle which is what I will do once I can stomach a burrito again… so turned off right now. Will never go back. Especially after walking by this morning and noticing their B rating which I had totally overlooked because I was so sold from the reviews and because it’s partially hidden by the rain protector door thing. B rating. Eeew. Never again.

Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best Mexican food are made in Taqueria Tehuizingo. I love Hispanics!

Yummy and delicious. Stopped in after reading all of the great reviews on here. Small place (with maybe 6 tables) and is a little crammed, but you’re there for the food. I had the bistec, al pastor, and carnitas. All were delicious, but the carnitas were my favorite. Everything on the tacos tasted very fresh. It was fairly crowded when we stepped in, but the food came out in a relatively quick manner. Can’t think of any complaints other than size (we were in the table closest to the door which had a slightly awkward placement).

Taqueria Tehuitzingo doesn’t look like much from the outside, but don’t let the size fool you! These tacos (pollo, al pastor, and carnitas) are some of the best I’ve ever had. Simple, flavorful, and delicious! The obvious downside is the size, but we had no issues at 6pm on a Friday night.

As a native Texan, I am glad I took the subway and heeded the other reviews and was able to find this place. The flautas were out of this world and I was so sad when they told me they didn’t have any tamales the day I was here. My only complaint is on myself for not having come out this way sooner during the beginning of my stay in New York! Fantastic authentic Mexican food!

one tequila… two tequila… three tequila… four tequilsa… five twequila. six tequikla… ninetenquila, TACOS!!!
Cheap… good food in time square! I’m sold!
Gotta love their service as well as their sandwiches!!! The guy was very nice in helping me with my order because it was so hard to order just one particular taco. so I ordered two… and a Cuban sandwich for myself… I can’t help it… i thought the sandwich was delicious! I the tacos was good but i’m not really a big fan of the taco. the soft shell on the outside was somewhat dry. but the ingredients inside the taco was full and flavorful… honestly, i would just order the same sandwich next time I come visit… The place is clean… yet small… only three to four tables… not really good for a group hang out… perfect for a quick lunch! service is good and food is great… What’s there to complain about?! :-)

You know you’re in New York when «cheap tacos» are $ 3 each…
I got the $ 4.50 mini carnitas quesadilla with $ 1 additional guacamole. They gave a generous portion of meat but it was kind of tough. Guacamole was just okay. I also went at 9am for takeout and it took almost 30 minutes! Not somewhere for a grab-​and-​go.
They have a pretty extensive menu though so I’ll probably update my review after I give it another chance.

Good yummy Mexican food when you’re craving! I was walking around craving a quesadilla and I decided to try here and they did not dissapoint. Their crema and Hot green sauce is so yummy that it makes you want it on all your foods. They give just enough portions to make you feel good and full so don’t over order!

Wow! This Place is good for Indian Taste buds
3 people ate in $ 31.
1. Flautas w/​Cheese
2. Potato & jalapeño burrito (no meat)
3. breakfast eggs (mexican style)
All food was very good. Portions were large.
The lady who took our order was nice.
Food took some time (she told us earlier that its gonna take more than 20 min)
But it was definitely worth it.
Spice level was apt for indian taste buds.
The place is small but it smelled good.
They served breakfast dishes during lunch (mentioning this because some restaurants do not serve breakfast menu during lunch time)
All in all Pleasant Experience. :)

This place is a hole in the wall and not much to look at, but has excellent, authentic Mexican food. This place was near our hotel and we were in the mood for Mexican and decided to try it out.
I had chicken fajitas. It is did not guacamole or source cream like you usually see, just super rice, beans, and the chicken with peppers and onions. Very tasty.
However, I wish I had ordered what my nephew, chicken in mole sauce. That sauce was out of this world, I stole as much as I could. His chicken was really moist and delicious. My other nephew also loved his burrito and devoured it in a millisecond.
Unfortunately, it did not look like they had alcohol and seating is really limited. No surprise it was busy at 3pm, I could see this place being packed at normal meal times

The food is ok, but don’t get the rice.
I got a breakfast burrito and almost broke my tooth on something. Turns out, it’s the rice. I kept eating, thinking that it was just a bad piece, but I was able to take out the rest of the rice in ONE piece. Gross.
One bonus: called the restaurant and the person over the phone gave me a refund. The best thing was that he was sincerely apologetic. Perhaps I’ll try this place again sans the rice (everything else in the burrito was ok).

Excellent restaurant mexicain avec de la vraie cuisine mexicaine. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Produits (sauces, boissons …) m’aide un Mexico.
La nourriture est excellente et les portions sont très importantes.
Accueil très sympathique :-).
Petit restaurant qui fait aussi beaucoup de livraisons à domicile.
PS: juste signaler qu’ils né vendent pas d’alcool (donc pas de bière), mais ce n’est qu’un détail.

Upgrading my rating to 5!
Ordered from here last night after seeing their name on Seamless. Delivery took a while but man, it was so worth it!
I tried to get 5 tacos, 2 carnitas, 1 pollo, 1 al pastor and 1 barbacoa. The restaurant called to tell me that they had ran out of carnitas so I switched to beef instead.
Let’s get down to the results:
Portions — AMAZING! I don’t think I’ve ordered from anywhere else that’s close to as generous as these guys! The tacos were SO filled I barely had enough room to add in guac! The guac came in a round tin container that a lot of places use to deliver rice (think any Indian restaurant), which I was super pleasantly surprised by seeing that most places would give me guac in tiny plastic containers.
Food — GREAT as I’ve experienced before. I think the chicken taco is my new favorite after the Al Pastor.
Definitely will be ordering from this place whenever I get taco cravings!

I don’t usually give five starts, but when I do the place deserves it. a whole in the wall that serves fine authentic Mexican food in the middle of New York City. What more can you ask for?
Pros:
Food: We had a cubano, chicken burrito, and a plate of chicken in mole sauce. Large portion sizes and delicious. Loved the food.
Staff: Really friendly and calm. This is a self serving restaurant.
Cons: Nothing much to complain but…
FYI: No restrooms. Limited space so may not be good for children.

Taqueria Tehuitzingo is one of those restaurants I would never normally think to check out, partially because I generally avoid the area around Port Authority like the plague, but also because it looks like any other little, nothing-​special restaurant in that immediate area. While it may be little indeed, it turns out it’s cranking out some awesome, big ass tacos!
This taqueria is a hole in the wall, with just a few tables crammed together in front of a small counter. The menu is lengthy, featuring tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and more, with over 15 filling options (mostly meat, but a few vegetarian).
My friend and I each got an order of carnitas tacos (2 tacos per order, $ 6 each). These may have been some of the most generously-​filled tacos I’ve eaten in Manhattan. And they were gooood. The pork was crispy and flavorful, and it came cloaked with raw white onions and the freshest cilantro. Our guacamole and chips ($ 6) also came as a large portion and were decent. I wanted to order a chorizo/​potato burrito to (mostly) eat for lunch the next day, but they were out of that filling so I ended up just choosing carnitas again. The burrito ($ 9.50) was stuffed full with rice, beans, and the works, and was very mushy, and very VERY mushy the next day. I’d say only come here for the tacos, in which the meat takes the spotlight, or any of the options that don’t totally drown out the meat.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, but if you happen to be in the neighborhood and are looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat, Tehuitzingo’s got you covered.

Aunque la taqueria es pequeña y no mas gente come aquí a las 3 en la tarde, las comidas son sana y auténtica. Me parece que no hay camarero sirven los clientes, por eso, necesitamos ordenar en la caja. Probé una quesadilla de huitlacoche. No se que fui eso. Pero, hay muchas cosas como el hongo negro con maíz, y queso por dentro. No hay ninguna carne pero me gusta mucho. Visite con mi amigo. Es de DF, México y me recomendó esa cocina. Ordenó el plato, no puedo recordar el nombre ahora. Pero, fui el plato de costilla (boiled pork) con salsa verde. Fui muy rico. Quisiera venir aquí otra vez para otra cocinas.

Pésimo servicio la comida sin sabor y la salsa buff ni hablar para nada es un restaurante mexicano decepción de comer ahí yoooo en lo personal no se lo recomiendo a nadie luego pido un postre y la gelatina ni servia no eso no me gusto para nada luego la regresaron y le dice. Al k atendía k esta a descompuesta a lo k el dice aaaa yo no se de eso noooo al servicio no me gusto… además ese uno es un restaurante es una fonda
