Empellon Taqueria Waterline Square is a popular restaurant, especially during warmer months, due to its great outdoor space. However, recent changes in the restaurant's presentation and pricing have left some customers disappointed. While the wait staff is praised for their excellent service, the use of plastic utensils, paper plates, and aluminum for serving dishes has made the dining experience feel more like a picnic than a restaurant meal. The prices have also increased, with a simple salad now costing $18 and tacos being served as a single portion on a small paper plate, instead of the previous generous two-taco presentation. On the other hand, some customers have had a positive experience, particularly during the restaurant's happy hour, where the prices for both drinks and food are considered very reasonable. The nachos and veggie tacos are highlighted as being delicious, with well-spiced and seasoned sauces and salsas. Overall, the reviews suggest a mixed experience at Empellon Taqueria Waterline Square, with some customers feeling the quality and value no longer justify the prices, while others continue to enjoy the outdoor seating, service, and happy hour offerings.
