Empellón al Pastor

Nice looking place. Service was ok. Tacos were terrible. They tasted like something that was made on hotplate in dorm room.

Delicious tacos, crisp beers and great margaritas at decent prices. I believe the Al Pastor is the style of meat cooking, on a skewer slow grilled with pineapple dripping on it. DELICIOUS!! ¡Una sabor fabuloso! The bar staff are great and its all counter serve so no stuffing around with split bills and tips. A refreshing change in service style and totally welcome. Great for groups and easy to stay all night or just for a bite.

Great Find! I was searching the streets for a place to have a good beer. To my surprise I stumbled upon Empellon al Pastor! This was by far my favorite dining/bar experience in NYC over the long weekend! I sat at the bar and was amazed by the artwork and dark but not to dark vibe the place offered. I had a great tasting IPA and was told by the bartender to try one of their signature pork tacos. I was blown away by the taste and how reasonable the menu was. Tacos are $4 but two or three for under $15 in the East Village, cant beat it! I highly recommend this place. The bartender was very friendly and service was outstanding! Very authentic food and atmosphere! I will be back every time I visit the city!
