Moved to PA from the west coast and hadn’t found a top notch taco place in the area until now. Emiliano’s is fantastic! Best carnitas I’ve ever had, plus great service. We will absolutely be back.

The. Meal. Bn. But the deal. Of the employees we sin. Apart. They charge you everything separately. How are they going to charge you for the vegetables in the tacos? Separately. Order food for. Carry. Not even the tortillas to make tacos at home. They don't give lemons. And we. The first. Time. Bad service.

Terrible service. We arrived and it took us more than 30 minutes waiting, there was the owner and two other employees, no one took the trouble to ask us or lift our order, if they don't want to serve people, say it or close it, it doesn't cost them anything to open their mouths to be friendly . I never come back, if you don't like your job do something else.

My family and I are visiting from California. Our parents are from Mexico, and we have always had awesome carnitas from Michoacan, Mexico, but we were disappointed in Philadelphia until Emilianos. Wow, this place is so Legit! Absolutely the best Mexican food in Philadelphia! I recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food, especially Carnitas!Parking: Just to busyKid-friendliness: Absolutely

Very friendly counter service and they deliver to your table. The carnitas are “perfecto”. We had tacos and the carnitas platter with rice and frijoles. Salsa verde is great. They will delete cilantro upon request. If you like carnitas, this Texan highly recommends this place.

Food is just phenomenal! Carnitas were hot and juicy and not greasy. Sides were delicious and even the tortillas were good! The best part was the service. I called in the order and the lady taking the order made sure to ask me questions so it was right. When my brother went in to pick up, she asked if it was the first time we ordered. She said thank you, hope you enjoy it. She also told come back soon when he was leaving. Just a great overall experience and I definitely will return soon!!

Had lunch here.Split catnitas tacos, a carnitas burro, easquites.Good selection of imported drinks, and the churros are amazing.The staff was constantly cleaning and prepping, you order at the counter and take a seat. They bring your food and check in regularly. Looking forward to my next visit.

What a find in the heart of Norristown. Amazing carnitas and this corn cup - “Esquite” I think - they had was out of this world. Chips and salsa were also the best I’ve had in so long and they make them on site. You gotta go.

Outstanding carnitas at this cozy little mom and pop Mexican joint. They do some catering bundles with carnitas, tortillas, beans, salsa, etc. Delicious horchata, esquites, and homemade salsas. They fry a crispy layer of cheese on the outside of the burritos, they are incredible. Very strong recommend!
