    If I could eat Mexican food every day I would in a heartbeat. I don't know if it's the crispy taco shells, queso cheese, or the rice and beans with whatever flavorful meat on top, but I LOVE Mexican food. So naturally Emilianos has become a favorite place of mine, and it is very conveniently located right behind my office building. True love was meant to be! I'm usually here for lunch but have gone a few times for dinner with friends. I've never had to wait for a seat and the service is always super fast and friendly. All the servers and managers there are super nice and make for a great time! Food here is always delicious. I usually will stick to the Arroz con pollo, it's just perfect in every way. Delicious veggies and chicken on top of rice covered in their yummy queso. Um, who doesn't want that?! Their tableside guac is also very good and so super fresh! Chicken chimichanga, fajitas, and toquitos are always equally as scrumptious! Top it off with some chohula sauce and you've got yourself a delicious meal! One last thing, their tres leches cake is to die for! I usually only order desserts with chocolate but I went for this once and I am so happy I did! It's a delicious moist cake with so much flavor and a neat texture. It's a must try!! I love you Emilianos, I will never stop coming to you!

    My wife and I were looking for a new restaurant to try, so we decided to try Emilliano's. As soon as we opened the front door three people from the hostess station said "hola", apparently that means hello in spanish. They showed us to our table and gave us menu's. Our waiter comes to the table and I could of swore he was speaking spanish too. I could hardly understand anything he said. My wife works in a hospital and she is used to talking to all the foreign doctors, so she had to help me order and communicate with him. It didn't make me feel very welcome. I was a minority in this restaurant. With all of that being said, the food was good but a little overpriced for the area. I just think they take the mexican theme too far for this redneck.

    Very nice for lunch. Good food, worth another trip! Not to spicy at all, maybe even a little bland. I'm sure they could adjust. Service is excellent.

    My family wanted something different and we found it in Gibsonia. I was haven a really good time. We ordered this table side guacamole amazing experience. The meals were good and our service was spot on. My husband had a communication issue but that is what we came for the experience. My margaritas were amazing. My son enjoyed his meal and my husband did too. My family will go back and try something different each time. I had a wonderful family time moment at Emiliano's and I would suggest everyone go and try this establishment. The atmosphere was really cool and the staff outstanding. I was showered with polite and happy people and that makes all the difference. Thanks so much way to go !

    Best Mexican in Pittsburgh! The service is amazing too. They great you at the door and welcome you and check on you frequently to make sure your meal is ok. Food always comes fast and is great! My favorite is the chicken chimmichangas (sp?)

    I have been to this Emiliano's location many times, and have never had a bad experience, whether it be for lunch, dinner, or Happy Hour. We must always hit it at good times because we've always been seated right away, and the service has always been good to great. I think their salsa is really good (for me, having a good salsa at a Mexican restaurant is kind of important). Appetizer-wise, I really enjoyed the Spinach Quesadilla. It was filled with spinach and cheese, and was really very good. We ordered it because we thought hmm, that's different, and were very surprised. I also really like the tableside Guacamole, which is prepared, obviously, at your table, and you can tell them how much of the ingredients you'd like. Usually we say pile everything in! It's delicious, and fresh. I've had the Popeye Pollo, which is chicken covered in cheese and spinach, with your usual Mexican side dishes - very good. I've also had a dish with Shrimp, peppers, onions and a red sauce, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. I've only had it once, and it was very good, the name just escapes me at the moment. My favorite entree out of the three I've had is the California Burrito. I usually get this anytime I go, just because it's so good. Get it either way, with chicken or steak. And the sauce it comes with, I have no idea what it is, as it must be a "secret" recipe, but it really kicks the flavor of the burrito up a notch. Go with a friend, one order the steak, one order the chicken, and swap halves so you get the best of both worlds. As for their adult beverages, their Margaritas are crazy good. I had the Cabo-Rita during their Cinco de Mayo celebration, their Happy Hour special Lime Fish Bowl Margarita, and the Black & Yellow Margarita - all very good. Their Long Island Iced Teas, I think, are the best I've had anywhere. As I said at the beginning, I've never had a bad experience here. Everyone is friendly and the food is good and reasonably priced. This has become mine and my husband's new favorite Mexican place, and get here as often as possible.

    Jut got back from one of the worst dinners ever. Sat for 10 minutes before the manager took our drink orders. 10 minutes later a waiter took our dinner order. In another 15 minutes or so our order came, but not exactly what we ordered but close enough. Finally got the attention of another waitress to bring our missing food. Our first waiter never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. I decided to ask the manager for our bill. I explained what had happened. He offered to take 30% off of our bill. He calculated and gave me the bill. I paid it then realized that he gave me someone else's bill. He had to credit that charge back, I hope, and bill me for my dinner. He apologized but I never got the impression he even cared and thought the discount was all that was needed. I've eaten in this Resturant many times and the service was fine. This is however the second time in as many months we have had a problem. When they are busy consider going some where else like Grande's Italian across the street.

    It's... not bad here. Honestly the food is pretty good, not the best Mexican food but certainly not the worst. Their chimichanga dish in particular is great, but they stopped serving it with beans for whatever reason. Any other Mexican restaurant you go to will serve it with rice and beans, but that's just a small complaint. Really what they lost stars on is service. It's certainly quick, but almost too much so... to the point where it actually feels like they're pushing you out the door. I had met with a college friend for dinner here once, intending to catch up, we had finished our meals, paid the tab, left a generous tip (which the server picked up while we were still seated, which having been a waitress myself seems a bit of a faux pas unless your shift is ending or the restaurant is about to close for the night) but we were still finishing our alcoholic beverages. He then came back to the table, asked if we wanted anything else, then after we said we were fine, said "Okay, because other people are waiting to be seated." We hadn't even been there an hour. Having been a waitress, I understand most of your income will come from tips, but we ripped generously and regardless, you don't speak to a table like that. If I wanted to eat and leave in 10 minutes I would have gone out for fast food. On a separate occasion I paid in cash, expecting change, and watched as my server walked out the door for the end of his shift, never to return... basically taking a 50% tip. To be fair, I have complained to the company about their service and they do get back to you/ sometimes offer a gift card or something but if they send me one anymore I just give them away. I have no intention to return here when there are other Mexican restaurants with better food and friendlier service.

    Horrible host/seating experience. Complete incompetence. Waited ten minutes for a table. Was given a buzzer. There was no one else waiting, and there were plenty of open tables. This was around 8pm on a Friday night. After the unnecessary wait, we were seated at a freezing cold table next to the wait staff station, about 15 extra chairs, and a few kids boosters. Our server was great. She was friendly and attentive. We received our meals, but we had no silverware or napkins. I think this is the host's duty at this place, but I would hope that our server would have noticed. Ordered the carne asada. Food was fine, but the side of refried beans was warm at best. They were actually cold after a few bites, but I honestly couldn't tell if that was due to our table location cooling them down. Regardless, the food was overall satisfactory except the temp on the beans. Host/seating issue really ruined our experience. Decent Mexican food. We had a nice server.

    Unlike Joe B (12/22/2011), lets consider the fact that a normal restaurant would have these same wait times and hopefully Emiliano's isn't being compared with the turn around time at Taco Bell. I want my food to take a little bit to cook so I know it wasn't pulled straight out of the microwave and put on my plate. I do understand the frustration with the check mishap though. Our experience was similar with the wait. Very understaffed evening at the restaurant. The moment we sat down, the memories of the wait disappeared. The food is very authentic and flavorful. It brought back memories of our honeymoon in Mexico immediately upon tasting. My fajitas were fantastic. The shrimp combo with chicken and steak was perfectly cooked and the shrimp weren't even tough. Everything was great and I will be back many times. My wife and I have been looking for a new "spot" and we LOVE Mexican food so this looks like the spot. I hope the staffing picks up, but the existing staff did what they could under the circumstances and remained friendly all throughout the evening. Gabriel was our waiter and he was about as good as it gets for a waiter! Thanks Emiliano's!

    This restaurant has authentic food. It's tasty and the service has been great every time I've been there. They always accommodate large groups. Good food, happy hour, and a good atmosphere.

    Food is usually great here, my only dislike is the the ground beef has been over the top salty the first two times I've eaten here, the last time I just picked something without ground beef. Prices are excellent and service has been excellent.

    The food is excellent and the restaurant is small but cool with lots of interesting objects. The restaurant serves some of the best mexican food I have ever had

    This is a good Mexican chain restaurant locally. I'm a big fan of their food but it's not "authentic" Mexican. It's better than Mad Mex however without the super-trendy atmosphere. Nothing better though than the Emiliano's Fajita's and a Corona with Lime.

    This is a can't lose place. Consistent good food and good service. Free chips and salsa and strong margaritas...how can you go wrong. It's not the best I've ever had but it's solid. I would give this place 3.6 if I could. It's really not quite a 4.

    You know what Pittsburgh really lacks? Good Mexican food. Emiliano's is filling this massive void in my life. When the one near my parent's house closed, I ventured over to the Gibsonia one. The McKnight staff was MUCH faster, but this Emiliano's is equally good in quality. Free chips and salsa while you wait for your food! I LOVE the combo plates. Two items and two sides is my favorite option! Burrito, taco, chili con queso, and refried beans, please! Sometimes I change it up and do the 3 + 1. It's so nice to get to sample as many options as possible! If it's your first trip, definitley go with the combo plate! The fajitas are pretty legit, and I've only ever gotten one thing I didn't like... Some kind of chicken burrito thing. Hmmm.... it was clearly not notable. In other news, I really love Emiliano's drinks! The margaritas and mojitos are good. Make sure to check out their drink specials!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
