Honestly this place just sucks. Have been here on a night out several times and bartenders are always in a bad mood. Came here for a breakfast burrito and it was flavorless. Just not a good spot dunno why people come here. Maybe it’s because the shirts are cool. That’s about it
Happy hour with friends🍻 Nachos 😋 Ok I’m not going to lie! These nachos are addictive.
THE WORST TACOS EVER. Salsa is tomato/ketchup. Its like $6 a taco with no toppings. Ive never in my life had such a bad taco.. this is for drunk people that are just in need if anything. Its not worth it even for happy hour.
Came here for a drink Saturday afternoon. This place definitely has a vibe. Cool mural on the wall and even on the ceiling. You order everything from the bar and seat yourself. It does get loud when it’s busy and when people raised their voice.
They have a great selection of draft beer, draft cider and draft wine. The price are really reasonable. Menu isn’t big but has good Mexican food selections. Happy hour only weekdays 4-7pm

What better casual spot for a drink and bite in the neighborhood? Full of dates, locals, and chillers. Posted up no problem for a round before meeting other friends. Quick service and nice tap.
Fantastic drinks. The spicy cucumber cocktail is definitely where it’s at. Very refreshing and the perfect drink for warm days. The taco was ok. For $6 expected a bit more meat in it. Will def be back for drinks.
Vibrant and fun atmosphere with a good selection of beers and tacos. It's perfect for the location right by the park. Large open windows and a sensible mix of tables (high and low, benches and stools). The style is definitely Mexican, although it's through rose-tinted US glasses.
Well worth a visit for the friendly, social atmosphere and speedy service.

Empellon al Pastor is an amazing place to go for tacos in the East Village. It has a classic Mexican vibe, mixed with a dive bar. I really liked the aesthetic in the bar, and was happily surprised at the Happy Hour pricing on tacos and Tecate beer. If you're looking for a fantastic place to grab tacos in NYC, look no further than this place! Really loved how they had a mix of both classic, and more modern takes on tacos!
