We went here after under new management. I must admit I was hesitant because prior management was a letdown. However, under this new management, the food, service and cocktails were great. Got the bacon wrapped shrimp plate. Shrimp was cooked to perfection and bacon crispy how they did that without overcooked Shrimp I don’t know. The refried beans were very flavorful. I definitely will be back.

The greatest Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. Service is impeccable. Chips are fresh. Salsa is hot. Margaritas hit the spot. Clean tables and menus. I've never been dissatisfied here. Love it and will return.

We sat overlooking the golf course, which was beautiful, the food was AMAZING as was the service. Descent pricing too. I was able to enjoy a wonderful sit down Mexican food restaurant with my four grandsons for a descent price. We will definitely be back.

Needed a new go-to lunch spot after Tio Leo's closed. The view is nice and the food was okay, but there is no lunch menu! I paid $32 for a 2 item combo with a Coke after tax and tip. I got the cheese enchilada and chilie relleno. Chips and salsa were included. There were only 2 other customers there. Unlikely to return, unless they offer lunch specials.

Good salsa and margaritas, but every other menu item I've tried has been awful. This was the beginning of a review started 5 years ago. At that time (after 5 plus visits), we had designated it a DNR (do not return). Flash forward to 2023 and a giant banner proclaiming the restaurant was under new ownership, we decided it deserved a second chance (it's close and we love Mexican food). Margaritas were excellent (a tasty base and plenty of tequila), salsa was flavorful and chips were fresh and crispy, just like every other time we visited. The fish tacos? Barf! Ralph Rubio kicks Emiliano's butt. No kidding. Rubio's is light years ahead of this taco trash (greasy shell, old, mushy pollack with oily, over fried breading, flaccid lettuce and a heavy squirt of sour, bottled salad dressing). It was totally gross and served with cold, gritty refried beans, dried CRUNCHY rice and guacamole that in an attempt to hide its unripe avocados was flooded with sour lime juice. YUCK!! Every 24-hour drive thru taco shop in the city beats the pantalones off Emiliano's 2.0. I guess with enough margaritas on board it's tolerable, but given that Marieta's is 15 minutes away, why torture yourself? Server was also slow and inattentive (there were only two couples in the restaurant). While I appreciate the new owner's attempt to resuscitate the place, after today's lunch, it's still a DNR. The owner should have invested in a new cook instead of bud vases for the tables. RIP Emiliano's.
