I’ve been thinking about dining at this restaurant for a while, and today, I finally made it. It is hard to see from the outside, so I didn’t know what to expect. The ambiance was sort of modern with lots of images of Mexican artistic personalities, which was pretty cool. There was a band playing music from the 60s -90s. They were great but it you want to carry a conversation, expect it to be loud. I ordered the nachos, which were not great for the price, mostly like chips around a large plate topped with beans and melted cheese, I would pass on them. For the main course, I ordered the Lomo en chile de árbol and that was actually pretty good, I would have it again. It is very spicy, in case you want something mild don’t order this. My jalapeño drink was not great, so I’ll try something different. Overall, it was good enough to give it a second try.

I dont think I have given 5 ⭐ on all categories in a while! As soon as we walked in this amazing mural of some incredible artist. The hostess was polite and they were all attentive. The chips and salsa were not to bland (as some restaurants in the area are.) Not to hot either. Menu items were impressive. The shrimp empanadas I ordered were with a mango sauce. My wife’s enchiladas were incredible as well. Our drinks were delicious, I had a michelada and the Mrs had a Margarita that she loved. They had a DJ that was throwing down! Yet the volume wasnt disturbing where we couldn’t talk. Shout out to DJ Rudy. I turns into a dance spot after 10. Couldn’t stay because we live kind of far but were are going back with a designated driver!

Great Atmosphere and Jocelyn is an Outstanding Server! Enjoyed the Chips and Salsa as well as the Chicken Quesadillas! However, the Live Entertainment was Amazing! Steve Ball is Awesome and he is affiliated with Ms. Lauren Dukes! As she is a Superb Vocalist!

Alexandria Bielec
Food was amazing, drinks were even better, the lady that sat us also served us and was the bartender. She was extremely pleasant and a GREAT bartender. We cannot wait to go back.

Kellie Bass
Oh my god.. the service was amazing. The food was fantastic. We ordered burrito and red snapper with shrimp and calamari as an appetizer. Very very good. I would totally revisit this place. I wish I could add a pic but I took a video This place is at the top of the list.

Jeff Courtney
Emilio’s is the top Mexican restaurant in the area for elevated authentic Mexican food. We love this place. We’re welcomed like family and treated like guests. On this particular night Jocelyn was our server and she was fabulous. If I could give 6 stars I would just for her.

I go here for music entertainment (, but the 5 times I have dined here meat is always dry, tough and tasteless. I couldn’t cut the chimichangas with the knife so the the waitress brought me a steak knife. Salsa is extremely salty but tastes good; keeps you ordering drinks right. Margaritas are always good.

Atziri Lopez
I hosted a party for my daughter’s 2nd birthday at Emilio’s and if I could give them 10 stars I would! The attentiveness of the staff beyond exceeded my expectations. The food was real authentic Mexican food which tasted AMAZING. And the environment was just what I was looking for, very family friendly.

Pete DeQuarto
Alexys was great, the Guy Tacos were so good. Can’t wait to go back.
