Rich BeattieSeptember 25, 2011Ripoff Alert: No free refills on coffee--not that they let you know until the check comes...
JeffFebruary 19, 2014Went downhill fast. Subpar ingredients now, inedible mushroom tacos, expensive watery drinks, disorganized service.
Natsuko UApril 29, 2012Air condition functions badly. As its packed far too much, waitresses bump into eating customers all the time.
Stefanie DApril 4, 2013Probably the worst Mexican I've had in all of NY. Everything was overpriced and underwhelming. The cocktails are pricey and very weak.
Maria RosatiFebruary 24, 2013Bad food. Small portions and not great flavored. Really overpriced. Waste if time and money!

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

"Probably the best tacos I've had in NYC hands down. Get the pork belly and crispy fish tacos. Split the tortilla shell to make 2 into 4 tacos. The sauces are also delicious. Habanero is spicy!"

"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!"
