Experience a vibrant contemporary Mexican scene with inventive tacos, unique salsas, and crafted cocktails, all served with upbeat service.
"Eating deep-fried anything will usually make you feel two things: first, a sense of happiness, and then some minimal amount of time later, the desire to be horizontal. The fish tempura tacos at this West Village Mexican spot certainly accomplish the former, but the urge to apologize to your future self is noticeably absent. That’s because the brined, locally-caught fish is crusted in tempura made from nothing but water and corn masa, and it’s served over sweet jalapeno relish that manages to make you think you’re eating something healthy, or at least healthy enough to feel decent about getting a second order." - matt tervooren
"Empellón Taqueria has a large indoor space, but margaritas and tacos are meant to be eaten outside. Go heavy on the Queso Fundido section of the menu, and make sure you get a margarita and lots of tacos." - Matt Tervooren, Neha Talreja
"Empellon is offering Cinco de Mayo taco kits with various fillings and sides, as well as alcohol delivery, including pre-mixed margaritas." - Luke Fortney
"Popular taco restaurant Empellon Taqueria will likely soon have a sibling, should chef-owner Alex Stupak have his way. Stupak is looking to scale the West Village restaurant next year and is close to signing a lease." - Stefanie Tuder
