Stopped in for lunch. Crowded which is a good sign. Seated promptly. Staff very friendly. Quick with chips,salsa and a variety of other sauces ranging from refreshing to damn that's hot!! Plenty of selections on the menu. Staff very helpful with suggestions. Neat restaurant that doesn't make you feel like you're in a Mexican restaurant with the music blaring. Food quick to arrive and fantastic!!! Their mole sauce is alone with the drive. Portions were large as neither of us could finish our plates. Definitely recommend and we will be going back! read more

Trio Fajitas: beef, chicken, and shrimp were great. Black beans and rice were great. I also really like the salsa. They serve you a large drink, so there's no need for a refill. Nice ambiance too. 10/10 read more

California resident and native Texan so I've had my share of Mexican flavors. Was decent for being in Kentucky. Best part was the guac was fresh. The salsa was okay, the hot sauces were better, and the queso was basic. Chips were solid though. I got the mole half chicken and the chicken was way overcooked and pieces of bone were everywhere as it turned into mush. The mole sauce was too sweet for me and the black beans were bland. Not a fan of this dish. The vegetarians with the group (about 1/4) were probably most disastisfief with their meal. Needs for vegetable diversity especially when rice / beans are so empty of flavor. Wasn't terrible, but for the price, wasnt quite worth it for what I got. Only person closer to 4 stars ordered the whole fried fish which they did like. read more

After driving 8 hours this was next to the hotel. Our order was a chicken quesadilla with grilled onions and 3 beef tacos no lettuce. We received a very dry quesadilla with chopped onions in a bowl and 3 chicken tacos with lots of lettuce. The waitress came to the table to show us the ticket was ordered correct but was messed up in the kitchen. We never got our drinks refilled and only got an apology for the incorrect food order. Will not recommend this place read more

We ate their twice this week. Fantastic food at a great price. My wife had the fried talapia in garlic sauce. Wonderful flavor! I had this dish with shrimp and octopus. Wonderful flavor too! We couldn't eat it all. The price was very low for what we got. Please try it out. You won't be disappointed read more

We stumbled upon this place while driving through Kentucky. The ambiance is very family oriented. We were there on a Sunday afternoon. It is quite small. The food was very good! I ordered a gordita filled with carnitas. And my husband ordered the torta with carnitas as well. The meat was moist but had crisp edges around the pieces of meat. It was delicious! The waitress was busy but we got our food in decent time. It is mostly a Spanish speaking clientele although the waitress spoke english. read more

Delicious, generous portions. Salsa and burrito sauce had a nice spiciness. Happy Hour Margaritas a bargain and delicious. Great location next to nearby hotels. read more

Well I came back my second night in the area. Someone reviewed the requires so I ordered those. There was 4 shredded beef hidden under guac, romaine lettuce & cheese. These were very filling & good. I was stuffed at 2! Friday is 1/2 off frozen margaritas so I lucked out in that one I think if I lives around here this would be my favorite Mexican restaurant. Service is quick. Mexican music and speaking in the background -definitely a plus. read more

I went there in September while on vacation to Kentucky. I scratched myself on the booth. It was pretty long and bleed. They had out of date peroxide and bandaids. I had the server called the manager for actual supplies. He finally came and cleaned it and bandaged it with as best as we could. It was long and needed to be looked at. I asked where urgent care was. They never offered to pay or anything. I went back home to another state(cut vacation short) for treatment because my insurance doesn't cover Kentucky. I've called several times and keep getting hung up on. Manager never returned my calls. read more

Real authentic goat queso birria and the service was also good.... definitely recommend

It's a great place....yes, all the Hispanic people come here.. My favorite Mexican place .....authentic Nice people read more

We stopped in here while passing through and saw the hood reviews on yelp. So glad we did. Very authentic, large menu, friendly staff. We had the pastor tacos, queso fundido, carne asada burrito. Everything was top notch. They give chips, a bowl of salsa and then 3 squeeze bottles of green mild sauce, red extra hot and guac sauce. Let me just say the red bottle will literally light you up! If you like authentic Mexican definitely stop in. Side note: most of the staff don't speak much English. My husband speaks a small amount so that was very helpful. read more

Tucked behind the Remke Market, this restaurant is a hidden gem on route 18. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and portions that will let your nosy table mate have a big bite from your plate. The service is fast and polite and the full bar makes this a great place to try. read more

Definitely a sort of mom/pop type place. Good food which is most important. Plenty of room for improvement though. This place could definitely benefit from active management. Also, though very tasty, their quesabirria tacos are so under fried on a flat top, they are practically soup. Dunk them, flat top fry them, serve them. Super simple and takes an extra 90 seconds to do correctly. read more

Before I leave this review I want you to know im a actual mexican. I ordered the horchata and it taste horrible and disgusting absolutely despicable the food is mid and just doesn't taste like good mexican food. read more

We heard a lot of Spanish in Taqueria Ramirez--from customers as well as the staff. Latin American baseball was on the Spanish speaking TV channel. It all attests to the authenticity here for south of the border recipes. I started (and wanted to end with) the complementary chips and salsa. Lightly salted crisp chips dunked in fresh salsa with lots of cilantro. I didn't need more. But, of course, I had to order something. A couple of street tacos and chicken rellenos were filled with flavor. Rice and beans with the rellenos were satisfactory. Terrific service and fair prices made this an enjoyable meal. Cleanliness and maintenance (a broken glass entry door, dirty bathroom, and messy hallway) kept this from being 5-stars. But in no way do those light issues keep me from giving Tacqueria Ramirez a hearty endorsement for their food and service. read more

Stellar, stellar, stellar... I was so glad when I used Yelp to hunt down Mexican restaurants that were authentic Mexican. The kind of place where there are more Latinos there than your standard Anglo-ish family. This was was the place! I had the Enchiladas Rancheras. Very excellent with good sauce and that tangy flavor I love in my enchilada sauce. The beans were probably my favorite though. They were refried with a slight charred taste which I absolutely love! Friend had standard enchiladas, which he said he liked however the steak was a bit overdone. I ended up taking them home myself and loved them regardless. On a Sunday early afternoon, the place was hoping and most tables were filled. Service was excellent and you could tell they were busy and short-staffed with unclean tables. However they got to them when they could and overall it was an excellent experience. Would definitely go back and highly recommend! read more

He Said: We got here at 9 after a longish drive and were concerned they were closing early when we saw they had chairs up on tables and just a few folks left, but they welcomed us in. The remaining patrons all seemed to know each other or the staff so there was lots of fun chatter and people enjoying a calm Friday night. We ordered a well-earned margarita and, based on previous reviews, knew to ask for the other salsas they have (other than what they bring with the basket of chips). The habañero one is properly spicy and still tasty and the tomatillo one was bright and flavorful. Because I grew up eating them in San Diego I ordered taquitos and they were great. They were clearly hand-rolled and with a generous amount of beef inside. So good. She Said: I was so happy to see this place within easy walking distance of our hotel, and we were welcomed with a smile despite arriving as they were obviously cleaning up for the night. The margarita hit the spot, and we tried to refrain from filling up on chips and salsa--as He noted the salsa was great. The chips weren't anything special, but just served as vehicles for the tasty salsa, so that's fine. The true star of the show was the pork in the carnitas tacos. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was some of the best meat I've ever had in a taco. It was perfectly cooked and its flavor was complemented by the toppings--especially if you mix the tomatillo salsa with just a bit of the habanero. All in all, i would be happy to eat one of these tacos every day for the rest of my life, and I'm sad that I'll probably never be coming through this town again and won't get to have another. But the memory will live on! Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me this time! read more

This place is a little beat up but you can always find authentic people working here and dining here. I passed by another restaurant because it was not busy. This place always has people in their seats. The front door looks like it is right out of the hood, yet that didn't deter me from getting my tacos. The server speaks good English and was very prompt with the order and drinks. My two pork tacos and beef burrito were excellent. I even re-heated the burrito the next day because it was too big for one sitting. It was good the second time too. I keep coming back because they make good food period. If you want a interesting but good experience, then try the whole fried tilapia. read more

Not sure how this restaurants scores of 4.7 but the salsa was horrible. The chips were flat, the cheese enchilada with a white sauce, very bland. The rice was greasy and the carne Asada was very fatty and oily. Not like California! Please try to improve on your sauces and flavors read more

I was hoping to like this place but it was just so so. The decor was nice but some of the booths were in bad shape; seats with holes in them or taped up. The torta was not awful but when you've been to la Torta Loca it was very disappointing. On a good note their birria taco sauce was good. read more

OK, why would I do this? I love Mexican food. It had a 4 star rating on Yelp. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING! Service was only adequate. Drink was ok. Food was horrible! No flavor. Dry. Just nasty! I got Camarones La Planca. Dry shrimp. No flavor refried beans. Avocado slices hard. Just awful! My wife got Fajitas Hiwiana. Dry, dry, dry! No flavor! She normally would take home what's left, but why take home almost everything, when it was so bad? Check my reviews. I don't do this ever. But this was the worst experience. We both got back to the hotel and brushed our teeth. Yes! That bad. read more

Fantastic Authentic and family owned. Owner's was absolutely fantastic to deal with. I love the build out inside. The outside does not do how good the place looks on the inside. All the servers were lovely girls. They get busy so go before your hangry. I guess this is one of three family restaurants and I know what a really difficult business this is post Covid. FJB's 1984. To find the restaurant it is behind the Remke Market. read more

Best tacos in town. Service was excellent with a smile and great attitude. I would definitely recommend the Mexican restaurant

Wanted to like this place, I tried not to judge just based on the decor or interior. Service was fine. Food was pretty bland and the quality of ingredients wasn't good. read more

After reading all the great reviews and the few one-offs.. I figured I would give this place a try and ignore those negative reviews. I am a sucker for hole-in-the-wall/family owned businesses. However, this wasn't the spot for me. I was not impressed in the slightest. We only tried a few tacos, queso and margaritas. Carnitas taco was okay. Chicken taco didn't have much flavor. Al Pastor was the best of the three. Margarita wasn't great, frozen was more crushed ice than the smooth texture I prefer. The queso was alright, but the chips seemed to be just like Tostitos but NOT good and not fresh that I'm used to from a Mexican restaurant. We also didn't get any more with our queso until after we finished our meal, though we had asked upon arrival. Needless to say, it wasn't anything special and I'm still on the search for the best Mexican restaurant in NKY! read more

restaurant smelled kind of like sewage and the music was so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves think. had to repeat our order three times, and when we got home with the food it was still not correct. probably the blandest birria i have ever had, and the meat was 90% fat. my drink was completely watered down (before the ice melted). the rice and beans were really good though. thats what the extra star is for lol if you're looking for good birria, go to la tora loca read more

I haven't been back in a while but Taqueria Ramirez has to be the best Mexican food & selection in the NKY/Cinci area. For sure. I love the vast selection, from tacos to Gorditas y Sopes. Being Mexican American, this place is one of the most authentic you can get in this area. It has everything from food to hospitality to feel like home! read more

Over all a above average meal I had a couple of chorizo tacos. Fresh tasting onions and cilantro to accompany. Great tasting Also had the asada and cheese torta good flavors. The bread was a little bit tired. I will definitely try this place again read more
