What User likes about Empellon Al Pastor:
Vibrant and fun atmosphere with a good selection of beers and tacos. It's perfect for the location right by the park. Large open windows and a sensible mix of tables (high and low, benches and stools). The style is definitely Mexican, although it's through rose-tinted US glasses. Well worth a visit for the friendly, social atmosphere and speedy service. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Empellon Al Pastor:
Definitely not a sit down restaurant sort of place. Mexican bar food that was mediocre. Lovely waitress. Bartender was not the friendliest woman like she was being that NYC bartender character who hates her job and is rude to people so tourists can say they encountered that trope. Won't be returning.

read moreNestled near the park, this Mexican bar offers a lively atmosphere and a solid selection of drinks, particularly their refreshing spicy cucumber cocktail. Diners can enjoy a vibrant setting filled with upbeat reggaeton music, perfect for socializing during happy hour. While the tacos and menu items have been met with mixed reviews, visitors appreciate the friendly staff and engaging vibe. The bar can be bustling on weekends, making off-peak visits ideal for a more relaxed experience. Though some find the taco prices steep for the portion sizes, the excellent tequila choices and tempting cocktails make it a worthwhile stop for spirited gatherings.
