The Best Tacos In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Taqueria Ramirez nailed their sequel with a carnitas-only spot in the East Village. They cook carnitas the traditional way: every part of the pig, braised in its own lard. Get at least one surtida with all the meats—a mix of all the lean and fatty textures, from brain to tail. Then embark on a tour of the whole pig. Sample from 10 different cuts—we especially like the lengua and trompa—and load up your tacos with avocado-studded salsa verde, and oregano-laced pickled onions. Sit on an overturned paint bucket, look out of the big front windows, and marvel at how many textures come from just one animal." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore, will hartman
