" If you're in search of authentic Mexican flavors, Ramirez Taco Shop will not disappoint! The minute you step in, you're greeted with mouth-watering aromas. I tried their famous menudo and it felt like a warm hug on a cold day. The staff was friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I also loved the chicharrones, which are made fresh daily—they're out of this world! My only suggestion would be to improve the seating arrangement for a better experience. I'll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you ever find yourself in San Diego, do not miss out on the menudo at Ramirez Taco Shop! It's incredibly hearty and filled with flavors that remind me of my grandmother's cooking. The service was exceptional—everyone was welcoming and eager to help. The little outdoor seating area enhances the charm of the place. I also tried their chicharrones and was blown away by their freshness. Just make sure you get there early, as they sell out quickly! My family and I will be returning soon for another dose of comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ramirez Taco Shop last weekend, and the experience was not what I was hoping for. I had heard great things about their menudo, but it seemed a bit lacking this time. The atmosphere of the place feels worn down, and the service took longer than expected. Despite this, the chicharrones were delicious—crispy and fresh. I hope they work on their consistency because I really want to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Ramirez Taco Shop, and overall, it was a delightful experience! The ambiance is what you'd expect from a casual taco shop, cozy and welcoming. The highlight for me was definitely the chicharrones—they are simply divine! I recommend getting them first. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow during my visit, but once the food arrived, all was well. I had the carne asada burrito, and it was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Prices are reasonable as well, so it’s a great value. I will certainly return to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This past weekend was my third visit to Ramirez Taco Shop, and it was as good as ever! The chicharrones are a must-have—always fresh and crispy. I brought my whole family along, and we all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the carnitas plate and it was bursting with flavor—it’s comforting and hearty! The ambiance is casual and has a family-friendly vibe. If you're looking for genuine Mexican comfort food, this spot should be on your list. " (*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*)
