    Chicken Quesadilla
    Genesis B.

    I got to the restaurant at 6:59PM and didn't receive my food until 7:48PM. The only thing I order was a quesadilla which to my surprise was not a quesadilla it was more of an empanada it was tiny. So if you're looking to get full, this is not the meal to get. The service was super slow. I honestly would not come here again.

    Crab Tostada
    Pamela P.

    Nice spot for drinks with authentic Mexican food, I was told it was only cash but to my surprise they were taking cards as well, which was great because is not cheap. We paid $160 for 2 people for a few drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 tacos. The Lengua tacos were Yummy but for $6 each I was expecting much more than a few pieces in a smaller than usual tortilla, really small, kids size small. Service and ambiance on the other hand was great, very friendly servers and good music selection, I would recommend for drinks and snacking but not for dinner. The place is small as well so probably not ideal for big groups. We had the crab tostada, pata tostada, and lengua tacos, everything tasted good, but again for the price I would have expected much better quality/portions. However yes we will go again for drinks with friends.

    Cebollitas
    Caroline D.

    Tried a couple of things here today which were pretty hit or miss. The guyaba margarita was great - it was well balanced and I loved the hint of heat. The cebollitas were super yummy too - especially when you squeeze a little lime on them. The tacos were just sad. Neither the carne asada or the shrimp had much flavor. Their paloma was also really syrupy. Regardless, it's a solid neighborhood spot to grab a drink - and they have decent outdoor seating, which is nice. I'd come back for the cebollitas alone.

    Great food, perfect service. The restaurant had a real movie feel for some reason. Dark, moody but a perfect place to hang with friends. Carne asada tacos were okay (had tomatoes which isn't my vibe), wish the chicken was a little more shredded, and the carnitas were good but not fantastic. I did see a review that said the guacamole was to die for and they were not lying. I would come back just for that.

    There's something in a name and in this case the name tells you exactly what you're going to get; a superior product. So tacos are definitely my love language and all tacos are not created equally so I'm kinda picky about where my tacos come from. I was on a date at nearby Domino Park and looked into this spot. Our server Masha was super sweet, introduced herself , shared a little of her history with the restaurant and made great recommendations. We went with a variety of tacos that included: the fish, garlic shrimp, spicy pulled chicken. While those were being made, we started with the guacamole and chips. I don't know all the ingredients that was in that salsa but Baybee when I tell you that thing had a kick to it. Even the Jamaican in me couldn't fully handle it. It was giving 50 Jamaican hot peppers. When we did get the tacos, the fish was super fresh and tasteful. The shrimps were all garlicky and succulent and while the chicken wasn't as loved and was super messy ( which I don't like)- everything was good. Bae had a Modello and I had the guava flavored margarita minus the spice. We left their on a high. Really great service, amazing food and vibes. I had only one gripe- Idk who was in control of the playlist was but it sounded like a bad American Idol contestant. Besides that, nothing to complain about. Do keep in mind they are CASH ONLY! They do have a roadside ATM that is $2 if you feel like choosing violence. When you're done, grab icecrean at Oddfellows down the street. Enjoy!

    Guac and chips
    Cole D.

    Surprised this is 3.5, because we had a great meal here! Complaints I have are small portions for tacos - like little stuff is inside the taco. Could be a heavier taco. The rajas tacos was really good and unique! The sauce is awesome. The fish taco was ok. The Guac and chips were to die for. Some of the best Guac I've ever had in my life. The chips are thick and have a great crunch. Outside seating. Service was fine. Cash only which is a little annoying.

    Large tamarind and guava margarita (opt for the tamarind)
    Leemor Y.

    Craving margaritas and tacos? Then give this place a try. They have a good amount of outdoor seating but it does fill up during peak times. My to go tos are the tamarind margarita (4.5/5), the shrimp tacos (5/5) and the cheese fondue (4/5). The cheese fondue is a great quantity/price ratio. The shrimp tacos are so delicious, and the tamarind margarita has the best taste IMO. Enjoy!

    Taco de Don Luis and Carnitas tacos
    Amanda D.

    This spot is such a taco gem! Found it by accident, just walking by the door was open and it smelled amazing. They have a bunch of different taco options with some well know tacos and others a bit more creative. I went with one Taco de Don Luis (citrus chicken and a spicy avocado sauce) and one carnitas taco. The tacos aren't very large but have a ton of meat on them. The Taco de Don Luis was amazing. So flavorful, the chicken cooked perfectly. I could have ordered a dozen! The carnitas was okay, just a tiny bit dry, it came with a sauce to fix that so it was good overall.

    Can't remember the name but so tasty
    Denise D.

    Damn fine tacos!! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but who cares. We traveled from Manhattan just to get some authentic tacos. Everything we tried was delicious. I'll certainly return when Ivisit my daughter again.

    The waiter with red short hair is one of the most rude people I've ever spoken to. Don't have more to say.

    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.
