“Exhale negativity, inhale tacos” is prominently displayed on their food menu. But Empellón has a secret weapon - a surprisingly great burger that's sure to delight.
The Burger: Cheeseburger (Tier 3). Two patties, American cheese, and a special sauce with pickled jalapenos between a double-toasted potato roll. If a taco were a burger, this would be it. This miniature masterpiece is a compact, perfectly formed burger that's ideal for a snack or a smaller appetite. It’s low-key, one of the best burgers in the city, and a great value.
Pro Tip: While Empellón has multiple locations, the burger is only available in the West Village. If you’re on the waitlist for any of the legendary burger spots in the neighborhood, consider stopping by here to prime yourself.
The Occasion & Vibe: With Drinks. The vibe is lively, with neon art throughout and a large space that's perfect for a night out with friends. Ample table and bar seating mean you can hang out for a while. Happy hour runs from 4-6pm, and Friday and Saturday late nights feature taco deals. As expected, the tacos are delicious
The Location: West Village, West 10th Street & West 4th Street.
