Carnitas Ramirez recently celebrated its second anniversary at 210 E. Third St., just east of Avenue B ... a noteworthy milestone in a neighborhood where we often end up reporting on restaurants that don't make it nearly that long.
The taqueria's success has not gone unnoticed beyond the East Village (and their original outpost in Greenpoint).
Chef Giovanni Cervantes (far left in the top pic) was a finalist for Best Chef: New York State at the 2026 James Beard Awards. The recognition was notable in another respect: Carnitas Ramirez became the first taqueria since 2022 to have a finalist in the category.
In a neighborhood where restaurant turnover can feel relentless, two years — and a James Beard finalist nod — is a run worth noting.
