Greenpoint hit Taqueria Ramírez is opening an East Village outpost


Taqueria Ramírez, the popular spot in Greenpoint that has earned "NYC's best tacos" accolades, is opening an outpost in the East Village. 

Owners and life partners Tania Apolinar and Giovanni Cervantes teased the arrival, slated for the summer, on Instagram yesterday (see above).

We can confirm that Carnitas Ramírez will be taking over the former Café Cortadito space at 210 E. Third St. just east of Avenue B. (Café Cortadito owners Ricardo Arias and Patricia Valencia went on to open Cantina Cubana at 17 Avenue B. Read more about that here.) 

The Mexico City-style taqueria debuted in Greenpoint in September 2021 ... and later landed at No. 49 in Pete Wells' top-100 NYC restaurants for the Times.

Taqueria Ramírez is the latest Brooklyn-based establishment to cross the river in the East Village... following The Commodore (which opened last evening)... Sauced and, eventually, Win Son Bakery

Wow, this is welcome news! Taqueria Ramírez makes arguably the best tacos in the city -- this is going to be a great addition the the neighborhood.

Hopefully they're a little more lax with their takeout policy at this location though! :)

I don't like them, because I hate corn tortillas. If they offered flour ones, I would probably love it.

Are they better than Los Tacos #1?
