"Your uncle might call this pork-only taco shop on 3rd Street a swine-dining establishment, but we're not your uncle so we won't. Carnitas Ramirez makes carnitas the traditional way by braising every piece of the pig in lard. And they do this very well—not a shocker given that the Taqueria Ramirez team is responsible. Grab a surtida taco, which includes all the cuts, and at least a few tacos filled with specific piggy parts. We love the irony, tender lengua, and the sweet and salty cuero: chopped-up slivers of pig skin that eat like pork-flavored gummy worms." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
