What User doesn't like about Empellon Al Pastor:
Definitely not a sit down restaurant sort of place. Mexican bar food that was mediocre. Lovely waitress. Bartender was not the friendliest woman like she was being that NYC bartender character who hates her job and is rude to people so tourists can say they encountered that trope. Won't be returning. View all feedback. What User likes about Empellon Al Pastor:
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. View all feedback.
