SerenaFebruary 2, 2012the lengua tacos may be good, but the octopus appetizer is better. the back room is infinitely quieter.
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.
- 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!
Devin A. BrownNovember 5, 2011Brunch: Not good-- my eggs benedict was on top of a hamburger roll and without spice. Stick to the guac.
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.

"Amazing homestyle Mexican menu in a great atmosphere - don't leave without ordering the Queso Al Horno Con Huitlacoche. Goat and pepper jack cheeses, corn truffle & red pepper in a perfect combo."
