    Been passing by this place for sometime now since my girlfriend moved to this part of Bushwick. The ambiance from outside always made it look like a fun place to eat so went for tacos on a Tuesday and were so pleasantly surprised. The happy hour deal is a very good one, especially if you're drinking one of the delicious drinks. I went with a paloma and it was super tasty. Nice salt rim and a refreshing cocktail. We split some guac and esquite, both very very good. The chips were warm and great tortillas to muhc on. I went with a chicharron taco, grilled fish taco and the chorizo taco. All 3 were stellar! The chorizo was spicy and a superbly filled with meat. The fish taco had a really great and bright flavor, the green sauce really paired with the perfectly cooked fish. The chicharron taco was insane. It was my favorite and it was both of our favorite bites. What a delicious flavor profile with great bites. The self-service / bartender service / not really sure what I'm supposed to do with service style left a lot to be desired but after my first time, no qualms about going back for brunch or just for more delicious tacos.

    This location IS STILL OPEN for delivery. I called to confirm and then I placed an order through Grubhub. The food is very good, however I'm a little upset at what i received at the price i paid. The tacos are great in flavor but you only get 1 tortilla so the taco does not hold together and it falls apart and makes a big mess. That's totally not how I eat my tacos. The corn is super delicious. Here's where my jaw dropped, when I opened the Flautas i found 2 small rolled up taquitos. I couldn't believe I received ONLY 2, with some lettuce and a little guacamole. That is a complete rip off for $9. You mean to tell me I paid $4.50 per taquitos? It is great tasting but totally not worth paying that much. If I would've known it was $9 for 2 I would've just got 2 more tacos. Long story short, don't order Flautas unless you don't have a big appetite because you only get 2 for $9. The tacos only come with 1 tortilla so it'll fall apart into pieces and you'll end up finishing it with a fork. You don't get a Big Bang for your buck here but the food is good.

    Looking towards the back of the place.

    Came here feeling a little hungry before a music show across the street. Glad I did. My visit here was fairly quick, but here are my thoughts. Options for tacos are plentiful and reasonably priced. I had an al pastor taco and a chorizo taco. The al pastor was just ok, but the chorizo was pretty good. Note that if you get the chorizo taco, it's going to be spicy. I appreciated that considering I really couldn't work out which hot sauce to use. They're all in squeeze bottles in a mini fridge and can help yourself. The problem is that they're not really labeled well. As much as I wanted some hot sauce on my taco, I didn't want to roll the dice and up with Da Bomb. Staff was friendly. Self service water in the back. Good options for spirits. Plenty of good seating. Bathroom has a communal sink. If you're in the area and hungry, I'd recommend stopping in. For sure it's going to be better than some of the fast food options surrounding it.

    One of the owners responded to our review saying "I hope you don't have children," because we left a negative review, even though they know I am pregnant. We kept our review strictly about the service, and they responded with such a vile remark. If you look at their other negative reviews you can see them responding rudely and vindictively multiple times instead of having a constructive response.

    Great food, ambiance, and service. The price is kinda high for 1 taco, but inflation.

    A fun, solid bar/restaurant with good happy hour deals and shrimp tacos! It's a very aesthetic spot right off the J Train.

    No frills taco spot in Greenpoint that is very popular! Expect a line. The tacos are super fresh…read moreand the star of the show is definitely the meat. My favorite was easily the pastor as it was so well balanced. The tacos are self dressed, so you can decide what toppings to put on it. Something to note: the tacos are definitely on the smaller side compared to other places like Los tacos no. 1, so get an extra to account for that.

    Taqueria Ramirez is a popular, authentic Mexico City-style taqueria in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, known…read morefor its tacos like al pastor, suadero, and tripa, often finished with a blowtorch for a crispy texture. Owned by Giovanni Cervantes and Tania Apolinar, the spot stands out for its real flavors, busy small vibe, and unique options like nopales and a rich dipping sauce. The owners opened it in 2021 to fill a gap in NYC's taco scene. I was in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to pick up an order from the popular fish spot Piscator. I wanted to check out the food scene there and did some research, which led me to Taqueria Ramirez because it's so popular. When we got there, there was a line, but it moved pretty fast. The place has an open kitchen where you can see all the food being made. They offer toppings, but you add them yourself from a table of condiments. I got two Pastor Tacos, a Suadero, Longaniza, and the famous Tripa taco, which is pig intestines. The Pastor tacos had big chunks of meat that were super tasty and flavorful. The Suadero tasted similar to the Pastor, but it was still packed with flavor. I wasn't really a fan of the Longaniza; the flavors didn't do much for me. If you like bold tastes, you might like it. I also didn't love the Tripa -- the texture was off, and it was too soft. They blowtorch the Tripa to make it crispy, but I didn't really get the crunch I expected. Overall, this place makes some really good tacos, and I'd definitely go back to try their Gringa Al Pastor Tacos, which are only available on Tuesdays.
