Very attentive service. One of the people in our party has a significant allergy and our server was extremely detailed and attentive to her regarding this. He really went above and beyond. Also the food is very tasty!

Was sat 25 minutes after reservation, hostess was very rude, was sat in the bar area, no free item to make up for this, just bad hospitality overall. $34 tacos for just shrimp and barely anything else on them, total scam.

Absolutely loved this place! Every single item on the menu was fantastic, and the whole spectrum of hot sauces they had in a tray was really unique. I’ve never seen anything like it. But what really stood out was the service. From the moment we walked in to when we were seated, the entire staff, including the manager, was so attentive, constantly checking in and making sure we were enjoying our meal the right way. It made the whole experience really great aside from the fact that the food was already so yummy. What a great night 🥑

Unfortunately, they’ve charged more than what I authorized on the credit card. I wasn’t expecting this kind of issue from a restaurant of this caliber.

We had lunch and everything was really outstanding. The guacamole was exceptional and it was fun trying all of the accompanying salsas. We really loved the carrot appetizer. Tacos are also a standout, with corn tortillas that are fresh and flavorful. I would love to go back. One nice touch we noticed is that cold dishes were served on chilled plates which made the food extra refreshing.

Decent Mexican food…. Outside of California and Mexico? Yes. You’ve come to the right place. Before I get to the food, David the waiter from Bogota was incredible. His suggestions were spot on and his service was of course 5 stars. Sometimes, you get a great meal but mediocre service. This place gives you both. Ask David what he suggests depending on your taste buds and he won’t steer you wrong. I had the ribeye tacos and they were as good as he described them. Muy sabrosos! The wine list is surprisingly decent with great choices from Oregon. We had a very nice Pinot noir that complemented the ribeye tacos. Check it out for sure.
A great space with a very buzzy atmosphere, this is a great after-work spot. They serve up great margaritas with a few creative takes - their saffron margarita was definitely a new one for me. And the chips with guacamole and seven salsas are awesome - I’d come just for a couple of drinks and an order of those! I also had a couple of their elevated tacos - the pastrami and the fish tempura. The pastrami was nice, but I felt it could’ve been a bit more tender. But the fish tempura was outstanding with a great crunch and nice flavors. All in all a great spot that I’ll come back to.

Great food, vibe and drinks. Always worth a visit when in NY. New on the menu was the Ribeye for 2 to share and it did not dissapoint.

An elegant Mexican bar and restaurant. Its delicious multi-layered dishes and wide selection of tequilas are also attractive. If you think drinking tequila is a punishment, you should experience the beauty of tequila at this bar.

I don’t even know where to start. The ambience delight and the music is phenomenal. The service is top notch, one of the best in the city. Before you even think about it, the service staff already knows that you need something. The servers and waiters are extremely attentive and polite. The food every entry of the menu was better than the next we received. When we thought we couldn’t be wild with more, we received a complementary dessert which was out of this world. We will for sure be coming back. Thank you to the team and the chef for such an amazing Experience.

Empellon offers outstanding hospitality and a unique experience. The food and service are memorable. We usually do not even think about dessert, but found both dishes extremely interesting and genuinely remarkable in presentation and flavor. Considering the flavors, it was no surprise that every ingredient was fresh and made with dedication.
