    Went to the times square one at 12:30P, shockingly not a shit show. Got a lunch ticket for up to $9 in all of 30 seconds and then got 3 tacos from the kimchi truck within another 5 minutes.

    I’m not going to pay $9 for the kimchi tacos (or any tacos) as long as tehuitzingo’s still around, but they were good.

      Shocking. I opted for free ice cream instead (which was as painless as I expected), and now you have me regretting my decision. Maybe I need another free cone tonight to make up for my error.

    Why weren’t more people flocking to this thing? I used my ticket to get a chicken schnitzel platter (schnitzel was huge!), which came with two sides and a condiment. I almost didn’t go in fear of the crowds but clearly everyone was else was thinking the same thing (or was getting free ice cream instead…)

    I got the KimChi Taco trio. It was more like a free app than a free lunch. There’s no such thing as a free lunch I guess.

    The burger and falafel at Madison Square might’ve been a better deal. Wafel and Dinges were giving out pulled pork over waffle though.

    i agree. went round 130ish and the total wait time was maybe 15 mins at most. opted for the schnitzel since it’s the only one of those trucks i hadn’t tried yet, and it was delicious… and huge. the sides were delicious too. definitely got my 15 minutes’ (and, um, free’s)worth.
