Ramirez Custom Tailoring

Super nice and very affordable. Hes on the 3^rd floor right infront of the elevator, go down and to the left.
He hemmed my pants, fixed the clasp, and tapered the legs for about 14 $. It also was ready in only 1 hour!
I did notice some loose threads that i trimmed when i got home but it was not a problem.
I will definately be bringing all my clothes here for my tailoring needs!

I’ve been complimented more than once wearing suits tailored by Ramirez on having the perfect fit, he’s simply the best!

Mr. Ramirez is the best! I’ve been going to him for 15+ years! He does great work super fast and for super cheap.

Mr. Ramirez is my boy! I came to him to have some alterations made to a custom suit. I was also interested in learning more about how the alterations are made. I’ve changed shape quite a bit since I had the suit made, so I had to go in for a few fittings, and Mr. Ramirez did an awesome job and basically taught me how to better order suits in the future so that they can more easily be altered. He’s also just a fun guy to be around. I recommend big time!

Excellent work, service and results! Would recommend in a heartbeat!

The best tailor! Quick, inexpensive, and does good work! My boyfriend has been going to him for years and I send everyone I possibly can to him. He’s such a sweet man and we’re sad he had to move locations. But his work is so good we refuse to go anywhere else. The extra couple miles is totally worth it and I highly recommend him!

Awesome service every time! Everything has always come out exactly as expected, and he (Ramirez?) has a great attitude and helpful demeanor. He’s always gotten the work done in a very timely manner and been good about rushing things if I need something done last-​minute. He had to move out of his building a month ago because it was sold, though; wasn’t sure where he went, so glad I found him again via Unilocal!He will continue to be my go-​to everytime. :)

Just came back to San Diego after a couple years and was sad to see his shop closed up today. I found Mr Ramirez thru Unilocal almost 10 years ago and hoped I’d get lucky again. Very happy to see he’s still in the area!
His shop isn’t the neatest by a long shot, and I’ve seen complaints on Unilocal about that, but those people lost out because anything he’s altered for me has fit like a dream. He’s a sweetheart and I will always take my things to him.

I’ve been going to Mr. Ramirez for years l and I just went by his shop and it’s closed! Like cleaned-​out-​closed. :(
I’m disappointed that I have to find a new tailor because he was so good. Guess it’s time to search Unilocal reviews. :)
UPDATED: another Unilocaler was kind enough to tell me that Mr Ramirez is now in Claremont at 5222 Balboa Ave. Thank you, Gisela!

In a pinch, I needed a bridesmaids dress altered.
He was professional, timely, cost effective and on point with his tailoring.
It is obvious that he takes a great deal of pride in his work and wants his customers to feel beautiful!
I would award 10 stars if I could!

Thomas («Call me Thomas») Ramirez just did the 5^th or 6^th alteration job for me and, as usual, it was done beautifully and ready when he said it would be. He tapered and shortened a pair of expensive pants and, as the first pair of pants I’ve ever had tapered, I’m glad to say it was done to perfection. Thanks Thomas!

Mr. Ramirez was great — very friendly and professional. He took in my dress and added straps to it in less than a half day. The handiwork is beautiful. Would highly recommend Mr. Ramirez.

Mr. Ramirez is the best in the business!
I went there because I needed help modifying some accessories for a fashion show. The time was limited and Mr. Ramirez took the time to help me out. He is very crafty and agile with his hands but most important he is very positive and gives you the confidence that your clothing is safe with him.

I was on the hunt for a good, not ridiculously expensive alterations place. I got a few recommendations from friends, and I finally settled on making a visit to see Mr. Ramirez. I had given him a call to see if he can give me a ball park range of what it will cost to take a fancy Lazarro dress. I stopped by right before he closed for the evening at 4:30 pm.
I thought I needed a lot of work done to this gorgeous Lazarro dress, but to my amazement (slight Holiday weight gain) I didn’t need that much done. Slight tuck around the bodice, and shoulders taken up about ½inch… Total, $ 20! Great! Fast service too! I took it in on a Thursday before close and got it back on Saturday… only a day really! Make sure you have cash unless your alterations are over $ 35… there is a charge.
Tomas Ramirez is such a sweet lil man! The location was easy to find right off of Grand. Sad thing is, he will not be in this location much longer. He said he was at this location for 19 years! He has really early hours which are nice, starting at 6:30am and he’s open on Saturdays until 3pm. Thanks Tomas!

This man does excellent work!!! He is so unbelievably sweet and accommodating. He can turn any alteration over in literally one day. Very quick excellent work for a relatively inexpensive price. He’s been doing this for years and even though his shop isn’t tidy he gets it done right. I trust him with anything! Excellent little hidden gem!!!

I went to Mr. Ramirez because of Unilocal recommendations. (Thanks, Unilocaler Chase.) His work is great.
Mr. R let out two sport coats and took in a pair of pants. (Quite a workout out, eh? More upper body muscles and losing inches around my waist. I wish. Just kidding.) The jackets fit for the first time in years. And the price is reasonable.
Plus Mr. R is a very engaging character who will tell you his life story if you ask the right questions.
Note: The hours listed on Unilocal are incorrect. Mr. Ramirez closes at 4:30 on weekdays.

Excellent service and a very fair price compared to surrounding tailors. My pants were a little long after the initial adjustment but he was able to fix it in a matter of 10 minutes. Perfect fit. Will be my go to tailor from now on.

HORRIBLE SERVICE…
I will never go back. and suggest that no one else does either.
I took in a pair of football pants for altering. Needed them for my game in 10 days. I was told it would take about a week, and they would be finished on Wed or Thurs and he would call me (game was Sat, so this was OK). NO call. so on Fri I go in to pick them up… he tells me they are not done and come back tomorrow. Not great, but OK. I go in Sat to pick them up, he tells me that it is «too much work» and they have not been altered… AT ALL… NOTHING… So now I had to play my football game is pants that were WAY too big and looked pathetic… Thanks for screwing me .
I could not believe the lack of respect… If you cant do it. let me know so I can go somewhere else… Even on Friday… give them back and tell me… Not wait to hrs before my game to tell me…
I couldn’t be angrier with this USELESS CLOWN…

I’ve been coming here for years because Tomas is a miracle worker.
Don’t believe me? Here are just a few of his miracles:
1. He fixed a botched bridesmaid dress brought in from another state-​in one day.
2. He perfectly let out two pairs of suit pants in two days – without even seeing the man who needed them.
3. He resewed the plastic thread holding millions of silver sequins on a formal dress.
4. He turned boy’s work pants into appropriate-​for-​women slacks.
I’ve brought in formal wear and «can he even fix this?» stuff. He’s always on time and jolly, and he never disappoints.

I’ve been here twice and the most recent time he completely forgot about my alterations, despite the fact that I didn’t pick ‘em until 5 days after he said they’d be ready. I’d be more forgiving I suppose, if he took the time to call me the day my clothes were «supposed» to be ready to let me know that they not. His deplorable excuse was that he ran outta time.
I ditto other Unilocalers’ comments about the train-​wreck of an organization system that he’s running. You walk in and instantly see a pile a clothes haphazardly strewn across a table behind the counter.
