GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN
Taqueria Ramirez
A CDMX-style taco counter on Franklin Street — suadero, tripa and a sidewalk rail to lean on.

IllustrationA small counter on Franklin Street, with its door around the corner on Oak Street, built in the image of the taquerias of Mexico City — colorful plastic plates, a choricera and a comal made in CDMX, and a short menu that it does almost nothing to expand. People eat leaning on a rail along the sidewalk, and the line is part of the experience.
Order suadero, slow-cooked in fat until it turns velvety, and tripa if you like it crisp; al pastor and orange-stained longaniza round out a second round. It's dine-in only, which keeps the pace brisk and the tacos hot.
Editor’s tip
Order two tacos each to start, then a second round once you've tasted the suadero.
