First time we went to celebrate my nieces birthday great food great service amazing margaritas 🍹
Been here a few times. The food is always spot on, authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend. Ariel, our server was very attentive. Always with a smile on her face.
Excellent! The food was amazing in all ways--taste, freshness, presentation, authenticity, aroma, and a unique diverse menu. The tacos are delicious and hearty. Lots of meat and toppings. The carne asada on a soft shell with avocado was super tasty! My husband had Javier's Chicken. A half chicken dish is rare on a Mexican restaurant's menu, but one of his favorite things to order. It exceeded expectations with juicy, tender chicken and a delicious flavorful sauce. My brother-in-law had a small dish of the pozole that was served with the side ingredients to make it even better. Great margarita and beer selection too. The staff was accommodating and attentive, providing excellent service even in a full dining room. Thank you, Emilio's!
This restaurant has been consistently great for decades. I wouldn’t want to change a single thing about it. Highly recommend!
Wonderful place to dine. Our family came in from Virginia and us from San Fernando Valley to join in our family member's burial. We were suggested this place and it didn't disappoint 🙌 if we're ever near this area again we will definitely come by ! …
We were quickly seated by daphni the manager. While we waited we quickly received our waters and chips and salsa then it was crickets quickly after that. Daphni stepped in took over and gave us prompt and professional service and then was attentive there after. We were ready to go else where but daphni’s prompt service changed our minds and ended our night on a positive note.
Yes, great service, excellent atmosphere and food. If I had extra stars I would add them to their pollo a la Javier--one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had, not an exaggeration. The sauce in the dish is fantastic, the chicken was perfect, moist, flavorful. We live 90 miles away, and that dish is worth the drive.
This is my first ever review at any restaurant and it’s because this restaurant had everything GREAT to offer. Great food, great servers, great owner just all around great. Every year our family gets together to celebrate my mother’s birthday. This year was her 97th birthday. We’ve been to many restaurants to celebrate but this year we booked Emilio’s (Hemet) and did not have one complaint. Christian (the owner) even came out personally to greet my mother. Such a great person. We had a great experience here and if you are debating on coming here to try it out. Just come! You won’t regret it. I hope they get all the business they truly deserve. Thank you Christian and team for your patience and great service we will be back!
We were invited by good friends. This is their favorite local restaurant! The food was tasty. I had albondigas (so good) and the rest of the table had various combo dinners. Everything looked delicious! It was a busy evening and the server was doing his best. We understood and just took our time and enjoyed the compnay.
Best steak ive had in a while at a restaurant. I appreciate how you can order your meal served "American" or "Mexican" style. Easy way to offer variety to your food!
