Try the lamb barbacoa taco, from Ryan Sutton's review: "The chef takes the belly and ribs, rubs them in adobo, buries them in avocado leaves, and cooks them low and slow." En savoir plus

Something you don't get to try often: squid with black mole & chorizo mayo. If you're getting a cocktail, the Winter is bomb (mezcal, alpine walnut, & bourbon "mist") and so is the Saffron.
Chad HornerAvril 1, 2016
the 3-course tasting is the play: guac for the table, plus each person gets tacos, a small plate, and dessert. among the starters the squid is a standout, and don't ignore the cocktail menu!
Tina ChangMai 31, 2013
Pistachio guacamole is amazing. Red snapper ceviche, asparagus with poached duck egg, soft shell crab tacos and lobster with cheese dish are a must try. Their new specialty margaritas are amazing.
Alexandra LeiteJuin 14, 2015
Whatever Alex Stupak did, worked! There is quite a difference between this new restaurant and the old Empellon. Start with, choose a tartare, go to tacos but please have one of the fulfilling entrees.
EaterJuin 6, 2014
In a town where tacos have become as interchangeable, Cocina's are becoming more focused, interesting and envelope-pushing by the month. The spring pea tacos is a perfect dish. En savoir plus
CITY GRITAoût 5, 2014
Start with Pistachio Guac and all the salsas! We never knew we’d be obsessed with a dish like Sliced Mango, or Squid, or Lamb Belly Barbacao! Satisfy your sweet tooth with 5-course dessert tasting!
Justin WelshFévrier 19, 2014
A fabulous reataurant. Great service, great food. Would recommend the roast carrots, the pastrami tacos and the arroz con leche desert. Simply delicious food.
Time Out New YorkSeptembre 5, 2014
Order the Mexican sponge cake— it arrives deconstructed, the moist cubes of vanilla cake surrounded by bitter orange marmalade, crumbled brown butter streusel and café con leche ice cream. En savoir plus

"Many people have a misunderstanding of raw mushrooms, and yet this dish captures a unique complexity of earthiness and is worth getting again and again." Chef Colt Taylor En savoir plus

Revelatory take on high-end Mexican food (not expensive though). Subtle, deep flavors with great ingredients. Lamb tartare is incredible, so is the octopus with chocolate mole. Trendy, dark space.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantAoût 10, 2013
I recommend the mango salad, the lobster fundido and the kale fundido with soft shell tacos. Not sure if this would become a "regular go-to" spot for me but if in the neighborhood I would drop in.
Time Out New YorkAvril 11, 2013
Eat this: Guacamole with pistachios, queso fundido with lobster, roasted carrots with mole, masa crisps with shrimp and sea urchin mousse, squid and potatoes with black mole, vanilla marquesote En savoir plus
Serious EatsMars 6, 2013
Alex Stupak plays off Mexican flavors for an exciting, out-of-the-box menu that's totally his own. Don't miss Mat Resler's mezcal and tequila cocktails, either.
refinery29Août 3, 2014
There's a Pistachio Guac unlike any other. Dunk one of the thin masa crips in the creamy, nutty mixture, and you've got the ultimate bar snack. En savoir plus
Astrid BarrerasJuin 29, 2014
The fish tacos are to die for! Also, the michelada is one of the best I've tried. So refreshing on hot summer day!
Jeana CostaAvril 14, 2013
Amazing food. Recommend getting many plates and sharing (size is right for that). Try: Guac, Roasted Carrots, Mango + Crab, Lobster Queso, Kale Taco, Scallop Taco. All so tasty!
The Corcoran GroupAoût 30, 2013
Do yourself a favor and order the pistachio guac, the melted tetilla cheese with lobster, and the pastrami tacos. You'll definitely leave happy!
Rachel LMai 14, 2017
The guacamole was fantastic. We also loved the queso and some tacos. Can't go wrong with anything
Darren LachtmanSeptembre 29, 2012
As everyone has said, the lobster queso is a must and if you have more than 5 people, get 2. Guacamole is great. Def do the 7 salsa sampler and do the flat iron steak.
Nishanth ChariNovembre 16, 2014
Lamb belly is incredible as is the guac and salsas (Arbol and tomatillo especially but all 7 are good). Do not get the lobster queso - waste of money and calories. Flan is very different...
The Wall Street JournalMai 2, 2012
Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican hangover cure that is typically made from leftovers, eggs and salsa-soaked fried corn-tortilla strips, is dressed up here with meaty maitake mushrooms. En savoir plus
Branzino BandiniJuin 13, 2012
Masa (ground cornmeal) from Tortilleria Nixtamal replaces most of the traditional flour. Maple syrup—smoked on-site—and ancho-spiked mole-poblano butter lend savory, spicy richness to the dish. $13.
Lindsay COctobre 15, 2015
Try the tacos - I reco the shrimp, fish or chicken. And, don't forget about the guacamole and salsa sampler to start! It's a must!

Alex Stupak, who previously did desserts at wd~50 and Alinea, has opened this East Village restaurant. It's a sister spot to his West Village taqueria, and the menu is slightly more upscale. En savoir plus

Use your knife to scrape every last caramelized bit of cheese from the cast iron pan for the Melted Tetilla Cheese with Lobster, Tomate Frito, and Kol (Yucatan stylewhite sauce).

My life was just changed by a $9 pastrami taco. Also beet juice mescal cocktail. And you might as well try pistachio guac like everyone says.
Mark EgermanJanvier 12, 2014
I don't care if you hate Brussel Sprouts, the Brussel Sprouts taco is one of the most incredible dishes in NYC. Pay with Cover and walk out happy.
Debora OlssonAoût 19, 2013
Do not miss out on the delicious Pistachio Guacamole, it is to die for! The spicy cucumber margarita is a must as well!
Diane BakerJanvier 26, 2014
Selection of 7 salsas is great! The masa crisps blow away corn chips. The carnitas tacos are great as well
Adam MAoût 1, 2013
Possibly the best guac I've ever had. . Lana is a kickass bartender. Oh - and their tequila!! What a selection. New neighborhood fave.
Porig SalbaJuin 25, 2012
Guac and masa chips and lobster with cheese dish were excellent. Tapas style so fun to try a bunch of flavors. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) En savoir plus
Erika GrijalvaOctobre 15, 2014
At first I thought the pistachio guacamole was a poser, but it is such a great combination! Dont miss it.

Lobster queso is pretty amazing & the space is gorgeous & not unbearably noisy. On nearly all other fronts, however, the wv location is far superior..not to mention much more wallet friendly.
Sabrina MajeedAoût 13, 2015
Service was really good. Pistachio guac, and their spin on chilaquiles were both really good!
J LMars 27, 2016
Wonderful and inventive tasting menu at the chef's table.
Nikhita MahtaniJanvier 30, 2016
Service isn't great but the food is yummy! I like the guac with the seven salsas, the poached egg and the fried rice.
Food & WineAvril 3, 2013
Despite the critical acclaim he received for his modernist desserts at some of the country’s top restaurants, chef Alex Stupak has traded in his pastry tools to make extraordinary tacos. En savoir plus
Jorge UrrutiaMai 17, 2015
Spicy cucumber margarita, guac with 7 sauces and carnitas para dos. Bring back the lobster queso!
CarlAvril 6, 2013
For brunch, the chilequiles miss the mark by not using regular corn tortilla chips. It also doesn't help when the poached eggs are undercooked and with an occasional bit of shell.
Amanda VinciFévrier 23, 2016
Really interesting take on Mexican food... the pistachio guac and the chips are the best
Sofia FelixFévrier 12, 2012
The Queso Fundido (melted cheese) with lobster and flour tortillas is to die for. Take it from a Mexicana wo likes to eat well.
CharlottesMai 13, 2017
Loved the mezcal cocktail with added spice, the ceviche and the whole fish
Kate FurmanOctobre 4, 2015
$5 beer and taco happy hour until 7 pm at the bar area.
Lesley KAoût 13, 2013
Mexi food pulling from contemporary, colonial & very old aztec/maya/etc influences in a very fun atmosphere.
Serious EatsMars 5, 2013
The menus at Empellón Cocina change often, in the dining room and at the bar.
Melissa RogersAoût 5, 2012
Best guacamole in NYC? Try: pistachio guac, melted tetilla cheese with lobster, pastrami or fish tempura tacos.
Michelle BennerAoût 23, 2015
amazing Goat tacos, queso, guac and salsas!
Howard LeifmanOctobre 11, 2013
