“ I’ve never actually been to Emilio’s, but I have ordered from Door Dash. I can say that their ceviche is it’s always hard to find really good ceviche outside of downtown Chicago! They are pretty, so I’ll be ordering again! It’s also a good amount for great pricing. ”
“ Great traditional Mexican restaurant. We come here all the time, sometime more than twice a week! Came last night and here I am today. Everything is always excellent! Food is always delicious and servers are always attentive. Our favorite thing is their patio, perfect for a nice relax time, and the music. ”

“ Went on Sat. 5/10/25 for the first time, the staff was friendly and accommodating. They had new and different appetizers, the bacon wrapped jalapenos were great and so were our dinners. Our server Roses was incredible and friendly, she made our dining experience perfect! We will definitely be going back. ”
“ The food here is really good. I got the crispy beef taco dinner. There are not a lot of Mexican restaurants that offer crispy beef tacos, so I was excited to see them on the menu. If you haven't had the crispy beef, you need to try. They are beef tacos that are deep fried so that the shell is crispy. Sooo good. I will definitely be back! ”
“ We had the BEST time at Saturday DJ night! The live performances were absolutely incredible – seriously, they blew us away! It was such a total vibe, and the energy in the room was electric! Plus, the drinks were super affordable, which just made the night even better! Can't wait to go back! ”
