" Listen, Ramirez Taco Shop truly holds a special place in my heart. It's the kind of place that brings back nostalgic memories of eating with family. The menudo is terrific—rich and flavorful just like my grandmother used to make. The staff always treats us like family, bringing warmth and care to each visit. However, I wish they had a bigger space to accommodate more guests because it’s often difficult to find a table when it’s busy. Still, I will always recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ok, let me start by saying the menudo here is a must-try! It’s exceptionally good, just like the kind my grandma would make. The environment is very laid back, which is perfect for a casual meal. The only downside was that it was really busy during my visit, so the service was slower than I would have liked. Nevertheless, the freshness of the food more than makes up for it! I recommend making this your go-to spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramirez Taco Shop is my go-to for authentic Mexican comfort food. The atmosphere feels welcoming and homely. I had the menudo, which was piping hot and seasoned to perfection. The chicharrones are a real treat! Be prepared that you might have to wait if you come during peak hours, but once you try the food, you won't mind. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Ramirez Taco Shop is like being transported back to Mexico. You can smell the authentic spices in every corner! I had the menudo and it was fantastic—full of spices and the meat was tender. Coupled with their fresh chicharrones, it was heavenly! On Thursday, I brought my friends and they loved it as well. It was a busy day though, which meant longer wait times, but the food was worth every minute. I can't wait to go again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really eager to try the menudo at Ramirez Taco Shop based on all the buzz, but my experience was just okay. The menudo was decent but didn’t wow me as I expected it to. The ambiance felt a bit outdated, and while the staff was nice, service was slow during my visit. On a good note, the chicharrones were fantastic! Crispy, fresh, and hard to resist. Maybe I’ll give them another try since everyone else seems to love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoy visiting Ramirez Taco Shop for their outstanding chicharrones and menudo. The flavors absolutely transport you to Mexico! However, during my last visit, I noticed the service was a bit lacking and the restaurant could use a little cleaning. Despite that, I appreciate their commitment to authentic food. I’ll likely return for the great flavors, but I hope to see improvements in the overall environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Ramirez Taco Shop reminded me of home cooking! The menudos and chicharrones are simply amazing, and they remind me of my childhood. I used to eat this at my aunt's house every Sunday. The flavors are genuinely authentic, and the warmth of the staff just adds to the experience. I only wish they had more tables as it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Still, it’s worth the wait! I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
