Buried deep within the sprawling buffets, apartment complexes and recycled Wal-Marts that make up the flat beige enigma that is Warr Acres, Abel Ramos’ eponymous eatery, 5822 N.W. 50th, has quietly gained cult notoriety for over 25 years, effortlessly walking the line between neighborhood taqueria and sit-town Tex-Mex; it’s a line that can be seen as soon as you walk through their doors and notice the unusually balanced mix of clientele, both Latino and non-Latino, dining together in culinary armonia perfecta.
