Carnitas Ramirez will open in the East Village on June 21 at noon, ownership announced yesterday. 

As we previously reported, the taqueria at 210 E. Third St., just east of Avenue B, will initially open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays... until they sell out. Which, based on the line for the kitchen test this past Saturday, will happen often. 

Owners and life partners Tania Apolinar and Giovanni Cervantes opened Taqueria Ramírez in Greenpoint in September 2021 and quickly earned a large fanbase.

Yvon de Tassigny, a former chef at St. Anselm in Greenpoint, will be helping run the kitchen here.
