Description

Summary: A lively flagship brings inventive tacos and desserts to life with an open kitchen and a bright, artful setting

Empellón presents a vibrant flagship experience. The two level layout places an open kitchen on the first floor, a mezzanine for a more intimate setting, and artful sculptures that accompany a menu of inventive bites, tacos, and desserts. The chef’s pastry flair shines in desserts like the avocado lookalike, ice cream taco, and seven strawberry bites, all paired with tequila and mezcal options. A lively, contemporary take on a Mexican kitchen.
