“Just wow! Having been to Taqueria Ramirez, I already knew the tacos at Carnitas Ramirez weren’t going to let me down. And they certainly didn’t! Every taco I had was outstanding. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the corn tortillas were top notch. There’s also a nice assortment of salsas and toppings at a DIY counter so you can dress them up however you like. Everyone was super friendly too. Absolutely worth the trip, and I can’t wait to return.“

Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“Talavera did it again! This was my second time visiting this beautiful and cozy restaurant on 10th Avenue, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The service is attentive and thorough, while the food and drinks are delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great attention to detail. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“I couldn’t get a picture of anyone’s food since we all dug in right away but the food here is amazing! We had their Birria tacos, a steak meal and a steak fajitas meal—chef’s kiss! They were very kind, welcoming and family oriented here. The place is small, I will say, it’s way smaller than I expected but nonetheless, we were quickly seated and the music was good the entire time. This was a memorable experience , thank you!“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“The food was great and tasted delicious 😋“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“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“

“Food and service was amazing. My wife and I arrived early and was seated immediately. Towards the end of our dinner, the restaurant provided us with a complementary desert for our anniversary. Highly recommended this place for any and all events“

“Tequila, the food and of course, Amanda!“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“Carlos, I believe his name was, he was amazing and kept the food and drinks coming!! I’ve been to a lot of different places where they offer bottomless every thing but, this is DEFINITELY the best place to go! Ask for, Carlos.. (I came up for a wedding and a birthday and I ended up have the best time ever)“

“Solid Mexican-inspired bar with a fun vibe. The guacamole was fresh and the mezcal cocktails were excellent. Prices are a bit steep ($60+ per person with drinks) but the quality is good. Parking nearby is practically impossible so we took the F train to 2nd Ave. Would come back for happy hour on a weekday when it's less crowded.“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“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.“
