I've tried all the other hot places that have shown up in the last 5+ years to much acclaim, and none of them top the Campechano taco at Ramirez. Their Al Pastor is also great, but the Campechano is really where they shine - just the perfect mix of the savory suadero and the spicy minced longanisa sausage. Service is always super fast and super nice, shepherding a shocking amount of people through. Perfect cool vibe mixing a great CDMX taqueria and chic Greenpoint. It takes me 10-15 minutes to go here, and every time I find myself with 30 extra minutes at lunch, Taqueria Ramirez comes to mind. It's that good. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a must!

I tried their Birria deluxe set that comes with a Birria taco, Birria empanada, Birria Mulita, and…read moreconsome for $16. That's a great deal! The Birria taco was good! The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.

Whenever friends visit my area, I consider this place one of the staples that I'll bring them to. In the summertime, I have even made use out of their limited seating outdoors. Usually, the service is fairly straightforward--you order, get your receipt then move down to the window and wait for your name to be called. Not much pleasantries but they get the job done. However, today I had an experience that left a poor taste in my mouth and honestly will put me off from going back for at least a while. When I went up to order, I asked for "the combo with birria tacos and consome", the cashier confirmed with me if I wanted "just Birria tacos? Or the combo?", I replied, "right, the birria taco combo." I think trying to be overly explicit led to the misunderstanding, because I got my order with only 3 Birria tacos. When I asked about the missing consome, she repeatedly insisted that I said no to the combo. After prolonged back and forth, she asked if I want consome, and when I said yes, she proceeded to ring it up on its own for $4. The thing is, I had already pulled out a dollar to cover it, as it's only a 50 cent difference between the combo and 3 tacos alone. I pointed this out, to which she shoved the consome at me with a look of disgust and told me she didn't want the money. I left the dollar in the tip jar anyway, but I felt uncomfortable from the exchange and also that it held up the delivery drivers and other patrons waiting in line to order.

Despite the fact that the taco wasn't fresh, I think it might've been a day old and the shell was a little stale. But the flavor of the birria - wow.

Stopped in around lunchtime for some tacos. There was a guy cleaning the floors and tables. Not sure if they had just opened, but it was coming up on 1pm.

Took a lot longer than I expected - I assume some things were straight out of the fridge/freezer like the steak since it was on the colder side. The al pastor and shrimp were definitely my favorites. They also sell a limited amount of groceries, like hot sauce, tortillas, chicharrones, fruit, and some Mexican candy. They also sell rolls of toilet paper if you're in a pinch.

I'd give an A+ for the drinks anf another A+ for the authentic Mexican astetic of art and other traditional touches throughout the resturant. Unfortunately, I only have a C+ for the service. Sadly, my bestie and I waited, not to be seated but for our dining experience to get underway. I arrived first and had to ask the waiter three times for lemon to add to my water. Additionally, when my friend did arrive, we seemed to be waiting an unusually long time to get our food. Perhaps it was because the food was made to order? I'm not sure but it was a bit much. Yikes! Luckily the food was fantastic and the portions were more than enough. Don't get me wrong, the waiter we had was friendly and all but he seemed to be distracted and as a result, he was unable to get an A+ from me. I'm not a snop but having to ask three times for something is not the best customer service. The truth of the matter is, I plan to return for all the reasons I have given an A+. I would encourage you to do the same because the food is oh so good and hopefully, the waiter (if you get the one I had) will be on his "A" Game!
