At the Empellon Taqueria in the West Village, your kids' Friday night favorite goes seriously highbrow: The tacos here are stuffed with everything from classic Baja-style fish and carnitas to shortribs, sweetbreads, and lamb and are served with a dizzying selection of creative home-made salas. And, of course, there is an outstanding selection of margaritas to go with it all.
