What A J likes about Empellón Taqueria:
This was my 2nd time here and I love it. The tacos and guacamole were super tasty! It wasn’t too busy inside which honestly is a vibe. Cozy and not too loud so it’s easy to have a conversation and hear each other. Drinks were on point as well! Definitely will be back and I definitely recommend. View all feedback. What CharlotteC doesn't like about Empellón Taqueria:
We enjoyed a group meal here sharing the delicious food and enjoying the margaritas and beer selection on offer. Service was very good we were seated in our preferred area, the waitress spoke through the menu clearly and provided her recommendations too (the brussel sprout taco was different and tasty! and we were looked after well. The atmosphere was busy, with the tall and lower tables providing a bustling feeling... View all feedback.
