Taqueria Ramirez

Mexico City-style taqueria · 1 location · Brooklyn: Greenpoint

The permanent line outside this Greenpoint taco counter reads like the start of a chain. The room holds about ten people and belongs to two former photographers who changed careers in 2020, one of whom learned the entire menu from YouTube. No investor appears in any record.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Taqueria Ramirez is one Greenpoint counter, in a room that holds about ten people, that Giovanni Cervantes and Tania Apolinar own outright, with no investor, parent company, or franchise structure in any record. Open at a single location since September 2021, it has almost no public labor or environmental track record to weigh in either direction, and it names none of its own suppliers. The two owners answer to nobody but each other.
