Taqueria Ramirez — Restaurant in New York

Went on a Sunday when it just open, to my surprise, there’s a long line of people. You can scan the menu outside of the building but if you want a aesthetic food video, there’s a menu on the wall inside the store.

Due to no takeouts, staffs have to coordinate how many people are allowed inside and time the amount of time customers are sitting and eating, which was cool to me.

I got the one of Al pastor ($5), suadero ($4), longaniza ($4), campechano ($4) and tripa ($5).

There is a small station near the entrance for lime, two different sauces, onions and cilantro which I was applied generously on my tacos.

All the tacos were decent, not so friggin good that I would travel all the way to Brooklyn for them.

Al Pastor (3.5/5) comes with a slice of pineapple which I was excited about. However, the meat wasn’t charred enough for me to have the smoky flavor the meat. If it was charred a bit more, I believe the pineapple slice on top would be perfect!

Suadero (3/5) was an interesting texture for me. It wasn’t too chewy or fatty, sort of in between soft meat. I wouldn’t say the the meat was flavorful but it is a good taco.

Longaniza (4/5) was so good! It might be my favorite taco from this selection. It has a slight kick without the sauces you add and you get the charred taste as well.

Campechano (3.7/5) is a combination of both Suadero and Longaniza which does taste good. Perhaps the longaniza helped me with the texture and flavor of the suadero, but overall a good taco to try both in 1 taco.

Tripa (1/5) was the most disappointing and the most looking forward taco. I love beef intestines and I was so disappointed on this taco. The intestines were really gamey and not a pleasant texture in my mouth. Sauces, onions and lime were not enough to mask the gaminess.

Overall, a good taco area in Brooklyn but I wouldn’t personally recommend it to others. Would I stop by for a taco? Perhaps if I’m around the area. It is a fun restaurant experience with...

When folks say this may be the best tacos in town, they're not kidding! Wow!!

BEST TACOS NYC PERIOD!

This cool little spot dishes out tacos with incredible flavors!

The tortilla is dipped in a consume from a choricera consisting of many meats, slapped on the grill to give it a little crispiness and then filled.

Choricera is a metal vessel where meats are slow cooked for hours,resulting in a combination of flavors from different cuts of meat.

The longanista get a little char from a torch. The al pastor sliced from the trompo is topped with a little slice of pineapple. The saudero gets a char, chopped and bathes in the choricera.

The al pastor and longanista have a crisp outer layer and great depth of flavor.

You get to do the toppings on your own

First time having cactus tacos and this just blew me away. I ordered it with chicharon which gave it an additional layering of flavor. Was not expecting this to be so good!

The saudero is tender and full of flavor absorbed from the consume in the choricera.

The compechano taco is a mix of longaniza and saudero cuts. And tastes awesome!

If you like tacos, do not skip out on this spot. check out Taqueria Ramirez get 1 or all 6 of their tacos and enjoy the amazing authentic flavors of a taco from Mexico.

Taco options: longaniza, tripe, al pastor, suadero, nopales (cactus), and campechano (both suadero and longaniza). You can get the cactus without the chicharon.

I had all 6 types of their tacos. Definitely be back soon for more.

There is no takeout here & you return the plates. Seats inside and outside, service moves fast.

If you go late at night, they may sell out of some options....

I waited about 20 minutes just to place my order, and then another 45 minutes only to end up with a refund. The entire experience was extremely disappointing. There was no apology, no effort to make things right, and instead, we were met with attitude. I understand it’s a popular place and that by the time we ordered, many items were already sold out—but that still doesn’t excuse making customers wait so long, only for people who ordered after us to get their food first. Every customer should be accommodated fairly and respectfully.

What made it worse was being told multiple times “it’s coming” when it clearly wasn’t. Having worked in food service myself, I know mistakes and delays happen—but how you treat customers in those moments makes all the difference. A simple, sincere apology or even some honest communication would have gone a long way.

By the time they offered either to keep waiting or take a refund, I chose the refund. At that point, after seeing the dismissive attitude and the way customers were being ignored, I didn’t even want the food anymore. Unfortunately, this was my first visit and will also be my last. No matter how good the food might be, customer service is just as important, and this experience left a very negative impression. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but this was...
