This is hands down one of New York’s best and most authentic taco places. The fish and short rib taco were fresh, tender and full of flavour and cilantro and that was before adding in from the array of chilli sauce on offer. Pick up a plate and perch outside with a beer, there’s nothing better to it other than a flight to MEX.

I was exploring Greenpoint today and had to make it to Taqueria Ramirez. As a Californian living in NYC for the past 15 years, Mexican food in the city has been more miss than hit. These tacos remind me of home. The pastor had the right balance of sweet and savory, and the Suadero was just decadent and melt-in-your-mouth. You definitely need to account for a wait (we were about 12 people deep and the wait was about 20 minutes to get to the counter), so make sure you order ALL the tacos you want at once.

Lives up to the substantial hype. Easily the best tacos I've had in NYC. Meats are super flavorful, tortillas are delicious and thin with enough structural integrity to easily eat the tacos. Very no frills - 5 types of tacos, some drinks, one mild salsa one spicy salsa cilantro onions limes that's it. Al pastor is incredible, longaniza has a nice kick, suadero is rich and meaty. Went Sunday of Labor Day weekend, lunch line was about 20 min, not bad. Highly recommend.

I love this place. It's a must have anytime I'm in the city. I love bringing people here and watching their minds explode with how amazing these tacos are. Super small shop so only bring one or two people but worth waiting in line for. 10/10 Tacos.

Okay, someone told me these were the best tacos in NYC...and gosh darn, im inclined to believe them. They are so delicious and juicy. I had 4. 2 beef and 2 pork. Wish I had ordered some to go 😭.

Really good CDMX style tacos worth the hype. Swung by on a Sunday just before opening. A line started forming around 11:45, but it moved quickly—maybe a 15–20 minute wait, max. Dine-in only, but everything’s served on plastic plates for fast turnover. True to the CDMX street taco format: you get the meat on a tortilla, then head to the topping station for sauce, cilantro, and onions. Simple, efficient, and very DIY. Among the three I tried, Tripa was my favorite. Slow-braised and then torched for a smoky finish. No seasoning (maybe the broth they boil it in has a little bit of spice), so I skipped toppings to savor its natural flavors. Still very soft, but it wasn’t too greasy. Al pastor was also solid. A bit salty on its own, but once I added diced onions and hot sauce, everything balanced out nicely. Classic combo. Campechano was a mix of Suadero and Longaniza. Good, but not my top pick. A little heavy for my taste, though I get why it’s a crowd pleaser.

The meat stands out as high quality and I really enjoyed the mild and spicy sauces. Service is very fast and would definitely go again

Delicious tacos but expect to spend around $17 for 3 tacos. The sauces and topping bar is clean and the wait is never too long on weekdays. The meat is a bit salty and the tacos are overflowing, I wish they gave 2 tortillas. I recommend the pastor, the longaniza was pretty salty

Went here with my girlfriends today… It was pretty good. Al pastor was fire. My friend said the first bite of hers was really gross, but the rest of it was good so I’m not sure what that’s about but they pretty much just give you the meat on your taco and then you dress it yourself with onion, cilantro, lime, and sauce.

The tortilla was slightly greasy but had a unique touch, and while the meat was a bit under-seasoned, it really let the natural flavor of the meat shine through. It was incredibly tender, too. The salsa was delicious, and overall, the atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. Definitely a place with character!

Finally made it here! Got in quite quickly (less than 10 minute wait).. very simple clean interiors.. we were able to place our order quickly.. we wanted to have one of each taco but they were out of the tripe - so we had the other 5.. Compechano was hands down our favorite - perfect seasoning and the meat was cooked to perfection! The other flawless taco was the Suadero - slow cooked beef confit was juicy and tender and the taco was just overflowing with the meat and juice! Least favorite was the Nopales - didn't like the texture of the cactus nor the seasoning. The Nopales taco at Los Tacos No 1 is WAYYYY better.. the other 2 tacos were good but one was underseasoned and the other was overseasoned..all in all, service is efficient, it's a simple/chill ambiance and the meat portions are massive..but they lacked some seasoning consistency and definitely need to think about that nopales taco! I'm very glad i did this but will probably not go out of way again for this taqueria.
