“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

While the quality is certainly evident in every bite, I did find the prices to be a little on the higher side. It's a great option if you're looking for a treat, though. I'd recommend it if you're willing to splurge a bit for a delicious meal.“

“We had an incredible meal here. The food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was very enjoyable. The space was decorated in a very fun and festive way which makes it a little bit of an escape from the city. The ribeye tacos were delicious and were half off because of the Friday special. The plantains are also a must have side. They have frozen margaritas in rotating flavors and the mago one was delicious. We ended the meal with some churros and dipping sauces and left full and happy.“

Don't miss the truffle esquites, the black garlic guacamole, or the fulang chang cocktail.“

“Great Maxican restaurant in lower east side. Friendly service, busy. Large portions for us Europeans. Had the spicy prawn sliders which was like a large prawn roll in a spicy tomato soup. Too much bread for me. Then had fish tacos ( both were starter courses). Too much for me but excellent. Nice cocktails too“

“First time trying and I was impressed with the menu offerings! I enjoyed the fresh tuna & the fish taco. Looking forward to trying more items next time! It was great to have alcoholic options too.

Everything else starts to taste the same lol although very delicious. They’re all very citrus based and the seasonings taste similar.

If u come before 630 on a weekday there’s not wait“

“I came to Casa Carmen because I absolutely love the food here. I was shopping in SoHo today and completely forgot to make a reservation, but the host went above and beyond to find a table for two—even on the day of Mexico’s 2026 World Cup match. I also tried several new dishes that I had never ordered before, and they were absolutely delicious. Every visit feels like a new and memorable experience. Thank you for always making me want to come back!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary here last night. The entire experience was amazing. The peking duck caritas were outstanding. The service was excellent and it was the best mexican food we have ever had hands down! Recommend the Corn Husk Meringue for dessert. Also had a fantastic mezcal margarita (X2). Will definitely visit again. Price was $$$ but we felt it was worth it.“

“perhaps I have an unrefined palette but the custom food-based cocktails were supernasty. stick to a modelo. however, still worth the trip because the ambience was unmatched, vibes, were up, and service was fantastic. super fun an quirky environment and spectacular bouncer fighting this city's anorexia epidemic and giving great advice. go knicks“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“
