Carniceria Ramirez

As ‘hole in the wall’ as it gets. This is a tiny grocery store which has a taqueria connected to it located out on the edge of Atlanta and Smyrna. It’s surrounded by abandoned buildings so its certainly off the grid in terms of location.
Once you get there, you’ll find a menu written on the dry-​erase board. They had a small but varied menu: from tacos and burritos to chicken wings and rice plates. I came here for one thing though: tacos! I ordered two kinds:
1) Asada, steak (this is how I like to compare tacos)
2) Chicharron, pork skin
The tacos were prepared authentically: double corn tortilla, cilantro, onion, lime, and salsa verde. They were pretty good; however, the tortilla was a little off. It was chewy (the stale kind of chewy) which might be because I came in a bit after typical lunch hours. The asada was flavorful but the chicharron was unbearably salty.
Would I come back? If I were in the area, definitely. But if you’re planning on traveling, there are better options out there.
