Ramirez Fast Food

Walked in after having passed it a bunch of times. Tried some tacos. Pretty good. Green sauce is nice and spicy. Is it the best place for tacos? Probably not, but it's decent.

Since they are not open for dinner and seem to cater to an early morning crowd until late afternoon, I stopped in when my lunch plans changed while working from home. It's a small spot that might have room for 10-12 people sitting inside there, so if you get lucky you can a seat - otherwise plan on taking it to go. Given the size, you aren't getting much for ambiance. I get that this is a fast food joint, so there can't really be high expectations except that I'll get my food relatively quick. I mean there are tubs of pre-made meats and other items like the chicken fajitas, carne asada, enchiladas, rice, beans, etc. that are in sitting underneath warmers. The tortillas get warmed on the grill. I get my chicken fajita dinner with a salad, rice, beans, and 6 tortillas. I get a red sauce and a green sauce, and grab a few pickled jalapenos in a tub to go. I paid $7.15 and just had the leftovers for dinner, so it was a very inexpensive, well-portioned, and a filling meal. The chicken seemed to be all dark meat, and I would have liked to have had both. It was cooked with jalapenos and onions, and was a little disappointed that they weren't green peppers. The rice and beans were pretty good. The salsas weren't very spicy, but there was some flavoring in it and my meal which I appreciated and made it worth the money. The staff is no-nonsense and about filling everyone's orders - which is how I like it if I'm getting fast food cause I'm already hungry and grouchy, and sometimes the pleasantries make me feel like I'm being patronized.

This place is amazing!  One of the best taco's I have ever had!  I was visiting a friend and Ramirez' is located just down the street from his apartment.  While he was at work I asked about places nearby for lunch.  Ramirez was his recommendation as he generally could not make it in during their 5am-5pm normal business hours.  

Another plus was I went on Mexican Independence day, so the taco's were only 99cents!  I both steak and chicken tacos.  I was shocked by the quality of the steak.  The taco's were loaded so full with steak, I had to take some out just to pick up the taco.  I do not think I can stress enough the quality and size of the steak pieces either!  Other than steak, the taco was real simple with just a bit of cilantro to garnish the taco.  The chicken taco's were above my expectations as well.  The chicken taco's came with grilled peppers and onions.  Again, the amount of meat and quality blew me away!
