Empellon- Great West Village Joint~

A few nights ago, we had dinner at a new Mexican Joint in the West Village called Empellon.

230 west 4th street.
212.367.0999
I tweeted during the day to ask the twitter universe what I should eat. About 5 minutes later, Emellon contacted me on Twitter and said, don’t worry @hungrydomaine......you will be in good hands.
The joint has been a million different incarnations, butI feel this place will be here for quite some time......They were playing the soundtrack to The Dead Presidents, which is a great playlist for a hip restaurant.
The owner, David Rodolitz, who also owns Puffy’s Tavern came over to say hi and make sure we were having a blast- WE WERE!

The Bar at Empellon~
We really enjoyed the place-Some of our picks:Jicama with Radishes and Watermelon DressingShortribs with Red Chile

Guacamole with Chips and) Two Salsas

Chicharron with Salsa Veracru- it is really not Chicharron....it is really "chicharra"- fried pork rind- we have eaten Chicharras in El Salvador many many times. I am married to a Guanaca (-__-)

Chicken with Black Kale and Salsa Verde tomatillo, cilantro,serrano chile

Skirt Steak with Mojo de Ajo

Not sure if they make their tortillas, but they are great and they are served in a cool container that is lined with a hot piece of metal to keep the soft tortillas hot- Brilliant!
