J F. Ort.February 4, 2019Super disappointing, overpriced guacamole that could easily be beat by your corner bodega fare.
SerenaFebruary 2, 2012the lengua tacos may be good, but the octopus appetizer is better. the back room is infinitely quieter.
- Hannah BowtonMay 5, 2011The tongue tacos are better with the smoked cashew salsa; better mix of flavor. Good food, but cold setting. Had good service.
Sameepa ShettyJanuary 11, 2015Terrible drinks and poorly done food. Red grapefruit margarita is too sour, as is the scallop. cramped and body. All round poor experience, give this place a pass.
Devin A. BrownNovember 5, 2011Brunch: Not good-- my eggs benedict was on top of a hamburger roll and without spice. Stick to the guac.- Cheryl BennettApril 3, 2012Don't come early and try to sit at a table without ur complete party. Especially when no one else is in the place!

We think tacos are AWESOME. We opened Empellon with the intention of treating tacos with respect & serving them in an unpretentious way.

"Possibly the best taqueria in Manhattan right now. Get the al pastor nachos which are more than enough food for two. Also try a super burrito."

"Love this place! Sexy vibe. Start w/ the summer vegetable salad. It's delicious & healthy. Then, peeky toe crab & corn fritters, mushroom tacos and salmon entree. The romansco sauce is really good."

"Most underrated brunch spot. You'll easily get a table 12-1. love the $5 champagne or breakfast negroni. Get Scottish eggs, waffle for the table and the kale salad (trust me on the salad)"

"My favorite cocktail bar in the city. Cozy and surprisingly unpretentious. If you're looking to have a bite, the beef tartare is yummy - the bartenders make it at the bar!"
