Devin A. BrownNovember 5, 2011Brunch: Not good-- my eggs benedict was on top of a hamburger roll and without spice. Stick to the guac.
Tim SheyJuly 20, 2011Try the Empelloma, their Paloma with housemade grapefruit soda, and ask then to make it with Siete Leguas reposado.
The sweetbread tacos are incredible, especially alongside an Espolon Reposado with Sangrita!
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.
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.
J F. Ort.February 4, 2019Super disappointing, overpriced guacamole that could easily be beat by your corner bodega fare.
- 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!
Natsuko UApril 29, 2012Air condition functions badly. As its packed far too much, waitresses bump into eating customers all the time.
Rich BeattieSeptember 25, 2011Ripoff Alert: No free refills on coffee--not that they let you know until the check comes...

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

"The Brussels sprout taco will change your life. If you’re here for dinner, be sure to finish with the avocado sorbet and some mezcal. Ask for a recommendation!"
Emily Wilson - 7.0
"We stumbled upon this place by accident, when the wait was too long at Barrio Chino. The drink list is awesome - we loved the Hibiscus Margarita. We paired it with the shrimp tacos & the steak tacos."
