All the tacos are served on fresh housemade flour tortillas, but the crispy Lamb Barbacoa tacos with cucumber and salsa borracha and the Fish Tempura tacos with cabbage and lime mayonnaise, which were flaky, bready, and creamy all at the same time, are the two biggest hits. The selection of mezcals and tequilas is also extraordinary, promising excellent cocktails and margaritas as well. The simple Mezcal margarita with Fidencio Clasico, fresh lime, and smoked salt is a perfectly rich and smoky addition to the smoked cashew and arbol salsas that come with the guacamole, though the Spicy Cucumber margarita with St. Germain, cucumber puree, and jalapeno tincture may be one of the best I've had. Empellón Taqueria definitely has me sold on its thoughtful and deliberately upgraded Mexican food with a twist.
