Empellon Al Pastor

Description

Summary: Pork & pineapple taco paradise in a vibrant setting.

Empellon Al Pastor stands on historic grounds in the East Village, serving up a creative take on the classic taco al pastor. Amidst its eclectic decor, complete with a giant pig face mural, this casual spot invites diners to order at the bar and enjoy tacos made with house-made corn tortillas, slow-roasted pork, and a chunk of pineapple. Not just a one-trick pony, Empellon Al Pastor also offers unique variations like oyster mushroom tacos and a bold mix of tripe, bacon, and beef tongue. The drink menu doesn't shy away from innovation either, with Manhattan-laced micheladas and robust margaritas. It's a contemporary Mexican eatery where the legacy of a punk rock past meets the zest of modern flavors.
