Ramirez was a magician on my tattered wears for many years when I was a resident of Mission Beach. It's been years since I've needed his services, but I have to imagine he's still as skilled as ever. He's affordable, gets the job done quick, and definitely beats buying all new clothes when you have a small rip or a lost button. If you're in the beach area and need some clothing alterations, I highly recommend you pay him a visit. read more

A haiku for Ramirez: My tiny tailor Sews the cuffs of jeans just right How does he find them? read more

Sweet, gentle man. I felt like I hit the jackpot when I found Ramirez's tailoring shop. He adores short customers because he's short himself! I love his cheerful attitude and it's always a joy to step into his shop. The first time I went in there, he hemmed the jeans I was wearing that day right on the spot. He knows just how to please his customers! I left him with about 8 pairs of jeans and a couple of other tops/dresses. They were done the next week! Best prices I've ever found and trust me, I've searched everywhere. So if you're in the Pacific Beach area, definitely bring your clothes to Ramirez! read more

I found this review on yelp and all I have to say is THANK YOU!!! I was in a total bind - was leaving for a wedding the next day and I really needed to get my very expensive BCBG dress hemmed. I called and asked if I could come in right away and drop it off. When I arrived, I felt a bit rushed as he was just leaving the store to run an errand. He quickly had me try on the dress and marked it. I was hesitant because he was closing in two hours, currently leaving, and I wasn't sure if he exactly got it right. He told me to come back by 4:30 because he was leaving at 5:00. I arrived at about 4:15 and it was done. I tried it on and it was a perfect hem job! He even fixed the hook and eye clasp near the zipper at no extra charge. It was $35 but well worth me stepping on a ripping my dress. I will refer everyone I know to this man. He was very nice and did a great job. read more

Like everyone mentioned, when you first walk in, you instantly see clothing everywhere (I was a little worried about mine being lost in the tornado of it all!). BUT since I was forewarned through Yelp, I dropped off about 20 items. It took me longer to put the pants on, than it did for my measurements to be taken. He was very friendly, had excellent prices and had everything ready for me in 3 days!! And I have to say that he did the best job! All threads matched *you'd be amazed at how often a tailor will use a generic color for everything!!*, everything was perfect- my clothes looked just as they did in the store (only my size). I will def be going back and recommending everyone to this place. read more

This guy is amazing. I was so pleased with the pants he let down for me. His work is super affordable as well. Super nice guy, and I refer people here all the time. I also really appreciated his honesty when he told me that the pants would not look the same as I would still be able to see the cuff on the crease. read more

ONLY reason I give Ramirez a 4 star is that you need to make sure you tell him if you need it finished in a certain time frame. This maybe the happiest tailor I have ever seen. He is a little man with a needle and a CAN DO attitude. He charges very reasonable rates. If you need your clothing hemmed and you live in PB you have no reason not to go here. read more

Mr. Ramirez has been taking care of my tailoring needs since he had his shop in Pacific Beach. He's always been on time with excellent work. Use him as your tailor and you'll be more than happy! read more

This place is probably the jankiest and messiest tailor I've ever seen/heard of but you can be damn sure he does good work. His prices are amazingly cheap for the time it takes it for him to do an order and the quality of his work is top notch. I used to go to Mr. Ramirez for all my tailoring before I moved. Do not be alarmed when he measures you. It looks like he barely takes two glances at you and he is done measuring but the cut always comes out perfect. My only complaint about him is that sometimes he'll tell you he can get the work done in 3 days but he takes 4. Most of the time I'm not in a rush to get my stuff tailored but every now and then its get annoying. Just make sure to call him before you make a trip out there to check if he's finished with your order. read more

Do not be alarmed when you walk in and see clothes everywhere. I think you should see it as a sign that he stays busy and lots of people trust him. :) He got my suit tailored in no time and was super cheap! He is the nicest man as well and really enjoys his job. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE... I will never go back.. and suggest that no one else does either. I took in a pair of football pants for altering. Needed them for my game in 10 days. I was told it would take about a week, and they would be finished on Wed or Thurs and he would call me (game was Sat, so this was OK). NO call. so on Fri I go in to pick them up.... he tells me they are not done and come back tomorrow. Not great, but OK. I go in Sat to pick them up, he tells me that it is "too much work" and they have not been altered... AT ALL... NOTHING... So now I had to play my football game is pants that were WAY too big and looked pathetic.... Thanks for screwing me . I could not believe the lack of respect... If you cant do it.. let me know so I can go somewhere else.... Even on Friday... give them back and tell me... Not wait to hrs before my game to tell me.... I couldn't be angrier with this USELESS CLOWN....... read more

He's the best in town! I've followed him from PB to Clairemont cause I could find a tailor as awesome as he is. He has been fixing my clothes now for 3 year and he has done a really good job. I due have to warn you, he has a good sense of humor and makes jokes all the time. Every time I needed a rush he came thru. He is reliable and very professional. read more

By far the BEST tailor I've ever met AND a great man as well. He is hilarious, does outstanding work, is kind, and lightning fast. He should charge more, his time and skill are worth it. read more

Great work, but you need patience. I got some things fixed the other week and he did an excellent job. BUT, I had to go in four times over a five day period because each time, the things weren't ready. Previous experiences haven't been like this, but I've been told by others they've had to come back more than once. Soooo, just be ready for that. read more

Been bringing clothes here for a couple years, countless items, and never had a single complaint! Highly recommend

Mr. Ramirez is the best in the business! I went there because I needed help modifying some accessories for a fashion show. The time was limited and Mr.Ramirez took the time to help me out. He is very crafty and agile with his hands but most important he is very positive and gives you the confidence that your clothing is safe with him. read more

Quick turn around time! I had simple stitch repairs and also shortened hem of a dress.

You know the saying, "everyone is replacable?". Rameriz is not!!! This guy is the best tailor I have ever been to! HIs place is absolutely scary starting with the bars on the window to the clothes everywhere! But, my experience is that people that are messy, do have order, they are just the only ones that know it. Haha His turn around for me has been anywhere from 20min!!!! To 3 days! For someone that has to get EVERYTHING tailored that is PRICELESS. I LOVE Rameriz and recommend everyone to him. read more

Great experience!! He is such a nice guy. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. And the prices are very reasonable I will never go anywhere else!! Please know that if you go he is located on the 3rd floor (no signage outside) read more

Found this place on yelp and loved it. He is smart, fast, and extremely friendly all at a really low cost! Couldn't recommend Ramirez Custom Tailoring enough. I'll never be going anywhere else! read more

Funniest guy ever, tailors my clothing perfectly and always delivers even when I need it ASAP

Ramirez is the man. I brought him in a pair of pants that needed a new zipper and he hooked it up pronto for a rush job. Funny guy who remembers your name and takes pride in helping people out. read more

I've been coming here for years because Tomas is a miracle worker. Don't believe me? Here are just a few of his miracles: 1. He fixed a botched bridesmaid dress brought in from another state-in one day. 2. He perfectly let out two pairs of suit pants in two days--without even seeing the man who needed them. 3. He resewed the plastic thread holding millions of silver sequins on a formal dress. 4. He turned boy's work pants into appropriate-for-women slacks. I've brought in formal wear and "can he even fix this?" stuff. He's always on time and jolly, and he never disappoints. read more

Ramirez is the homie!! Back in June I finally found my dress for prom like a good 5 days before, then 3 days before prom I went to Mr. Ramirez and he fixed it just in one day. My family has gone to him before and they requested him to me. I'm glad they did! He cut my dress and fixed the straps perfectly, the price was amazing too haha. Happy to have been able to attend prom. Thank you Mr. Ramirez !!! read more

Super nice and very affordable. Hes on the 3rd floor right infront of the elevator, go down and to the left. He hemmed my pants, fixed the clasp, and tapered the legs for about 14$. It also was ready in only 1 hour! I did notice some loose threads that i trimmed when i got home but it was not a problem. I will definately be bringing all my clothes here for my tailoring needs! read more

I LOVE RAMIREZ! I have been going here for years and have no complaints! Expect him to be busy because he is good and if your item is important and needs a fast turn around, just be clear! He is a pleaser and will get any job done for you. I have used him for difficult items, such as all my high school cheerleading uniforms and formal dresses as well as hem work on all my pants! I use him for everything and he never fails me. Most recently had him take in sundressess for me after loosing 60+ lbs and they look amazing, such a custom fit! You can't go wrong here! read more

Mr. Ramirez is the man. I've been tailoring my shirts and pants across San Diego because it's hard to find someone that's not only easy to deal with but has enough experience to custom fit clothes to your shape and Ramirez is definitely the go to guy. Another plus is that he has a great attitude and he's fast with pants and shirt alterations. read more

Very sweet man, and awesome tailoring skills for a great price!!! Will definitely be back and tell all my friends about him!

Stop your Taylor search now!! Ramirez is the best, he has twenty-some years in the business and is the nicest man there is! He did great work hemming all my pants, and the one pair that didn't fit right, he fixed free of charge. I'm happy to give him my business and recommend him to anyone (: read more

Love him!!! Been going to him for over 10 years and found him at his new location. He's well priced and always so much fun to see. When he had to move locations I tried a few other places that really over charged and didn't do the best job. He's amazing! He does all kind of alterations for men and women. He's just naturally talented. Give home a try! read more

Highly recommend. Great work and exactly what I wanted. I had a white coat and a jacket fitted. Quick turn around and a great price.

Pretty sure the Seven Degrees of Mr. Ramirez is more effective than Kevin Bacon, etc. Excellent work, reasonable prices; be kind to the dear fellow, he works incessantly. read more
