MAKE A RESERVATION

Empellón’s 510 Madison flagship welcomes acclaimed Top Chef Season 21 winner Danny Garcia (Only Goods, Time And Tide) for a collaborative dinner experience with Chef Alex Stupak inspired by Puerto Rican cuisine and NYC’s Latin bodega fare.

From Crabmeat-Stuffed Alcapurrias and Oxtail Chopped Cheese Empanadas to Pollo Frito with Guacasaca and a Smoked Lamb, Egg & Cheese On A Roll, expect a vibrant night full of deliciously creative versions of Nuyorican favorites.

Wash those down with both classic and reimagined Caribbean cocktails—but be sure to save space for must-try desserts like the Baked Puerto Rico.
