Four years after my first visit and Taqueria Ramirez still lives as my go-to CDMX taco place in all…read moreof NYC. 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!

Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

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.

My coworker was raving about this place having the best birria. He had brought in some birria tacos…read moreto share. I was a little skeptical but after the first bite, I was wowed. 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. It was so flavorful even without adding on any salsa. The consome was loaded with meat but I do think the consome was a bit in the saltier side. With how good the birria was despite not being fresh, I can only imagine how good it would be fresh.

I got off the subway at Stanhope to walk to a different restaurant, but the scent of Mexican food…read moreradiating from this spot instantly had me craving. I came in late night on a Friday and there was a good amount of people at the restaurant. My friend and I both ordered quesadillas with al pastor and I was surprised at how fast the food came out! I think we waited barely 5min. I had the flour tortilla for my quesadilla. The quesadilla uses one tortilla so it's probably pretty small for the average person. My friend was still hungry after his, but the size was just right for me since I get full easily. I got my quesadilla with everything on it besides pineapple. The onions and veggies tasted fresh and there was a perfect amount of meat and cheese ratio. Will definitely be back.

We've been testing out food options in the surrounding area, and Nacho Macho has emerged as my favorite (for convenience, speed, flavor, and affordability). Now, the space isn't much to speak of. It's narrow, with only a couple places to sit. But the dudes who work there are efficient, nice, and can put together an order of food for 6+ dudes in about 15 minutes (double-check they gave you some salsa and utensils if you need them though). I've tried a couple of the options, but the al pastor burrito, with a few things added (guac, sour cream, jalapenos, etc.) is a gutbomb of deliciousness that I am never sad about eating. You do you, but I'm getting another one in a couple days.

Ambiance was a food truck on a public sidwalk, they provide benches to eat at and the front cashier keeps the area clean. I ordered 1 steak and 1 birria taco The steak was bit bland and the tortilla not being toasted/panseared made it taste more plain The birria itself was not as bad but the tortilla needs to be toasted and it would be way better. Sauces were v spicy Probably would not come back here unless I ordered wrong and should've gotten a more popular taco.

Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things.

Nenes is something like the in n out of nyc. When my friend and I saw the storefront, the line was out the door. Many years ago back in LA, I had a mediocre cactus dish at a diner and never looked back. My friend went for a cactus mulita and I took a bite that turned into two more big ones. The cactus was crazy delicious with gobs of pull apart cheese, crispy browned edges, thick corn tortilla flavor, and spicy mango salsa, and pickled onion. When you come to nenes, you forget the line and wait. You transfigure into sheep and are happily a part of the herd. The only thing everyone is thinking are the minutes on the clock before annihilating the food.
